When I get my tax return, I will be buying a next gen console, I just don't know what one.

Everyone keeps telling me to get a PS4 due to it's killing xbox in sales, and it runs much better.

I have owned xbox, PS2, 360, and PS3. I have always enjoyed Xbox much better, I owned the 360 and PS3 simultaneously, and the xbox got significantly more play time.

What are the pros and cons of the PS4?

Really no reason to get one right now. Might as well just wait.

This.

But if you do decide to, PS4 has the edge.

Was going to do a actual FAQ, but I figured a TL;DR would suffice considering the trolling that will happen.

PlayStation 4 has better hardware and as such most multiplat games will look better with the occasional cost to some games in terms of FPS because of pushing the hardware too soon. It's main focus right now is indie games and a push to get exclusives in their lineup; something they have always shined at. There is a beta right now for a streaming service that allows you to stream older games to your console. The PlayStation eye is available for purchase so that Enzo can get his rocks off. It comes with a DVD/Blu Ray. Games for the PlayStation typical favor the Japanese market, but have top blockbuster hits like The Last of Us and Uncharted. A future project of Sony is a VR device with an unknown launch date. The PlayStation 4 retails at 399.99.

The Xbox One has lesser hardware to an extent. It will have a negative impact early on in terms of graphics and processing power, but later when things become optimized for this gen things will balance out. It's main focus right now is games and applications. It was designed to be the all in one entertainment center for your home. It boast a large number of servers for online use and and the future ability of cloud processing. It comes with the Kinect 2.0 an upgraded version of the original Kinect with enhanced picture quality and sound transition so the NSA can watch you. It comes with a DVD/Blu Ray. Games for the Xbox typical favor the American market and only have a few games not multiplat coming from eastern parts of the world. The Xbox One Retails at 499.99, but has dipped as low as 449.99.


Why should you? You shouldn't. There is a lack of games out right now for both consoles and they have hardly tapped into the potential of them. Give it a year and the games you want now will be cheaper and the games you wanted to come out will be out.

Which community do you have yourself more invested in? If all your friends have Xbox the go with the Xbox.

Standard answer for a topic that is posted entirely too often here.

Both console are very good. It depends on what console your friends play, and what games you play.

This list will help you have an idea of the exclusives game for each console that will release later.

Tbh i prefer xbox exclusives, since im not a fan of indie games, but all my friends are on ps4.

What do you lose? Really the 2% interest on 400-500 you will get from holding onto the money is like $5-10. Unless you have some inside scoop on a stock that is going to go up like 1000% and that $400 is literally the only money you have to invest...
