xbox one or ps4???

[Va-LEE-ant]

I'm not a gamer but I'm thinking of getting either an Xbox one or ps4 between the kids for Christmas. Which should I go for and why??? Thanks in advance for replies and advice.

an xbox one for sure ,but you need to hurry up and order one as the day one edition which ive ordered have been sold out at GAME they are for the moment saying they guarantee your order before Christmas but not for long im sure

and there are more exclusive games for the xbox but the games are going to cost £49.99 each

Xbox has always been the poor mans Playstation so it depends on your budget.

Or ordered my PS4

I think it's just personal choice. I just preferred my playstation to my xbox. Although the kinetic is better than ps move.

 

Not much difference between them.

Sony have always been one step ahead with browser and bluetooth and stuff but Nintendo are trying always play catch up and lets not forget how long we had to pay to play online with xbox. Only one winner if you have the money and really love your kids!

I had a ps3 a while ago but rarely used it and the kids were too young for it then. They do however use the Wii (just dance, sports and FIFA). I think they're ready fir the step up now and would be able to use the controllers. Was tempted by the Wii u but it's miles behind the others really. I think that the kids would love kinect, and my lad would love FIFA on either platform. The ps4 even when buying the eye bar thingy is cheaper, but still not sure.

Thinking about it, I may opt for the Sony as I'm thinking about getting a Z1 and there may be future connectivity.

I had a PS2 back in the day and then switched to the Xbox 360 when it came out because of it's superior online.

 

I have now gone back to Playstation with the PS3 and may get the PS4 sometime next year.

 

It all depends on what you want. If you want to spend a lot of time talking with your friends then go for the Xbox, but if you prefer a more 'casual' experience then go with the PS4.

 

I personally prefer the Playstation exclusives; Little Big Planet, Uncharted, Gran Turismo and The Last of Us. (BTW, The Last of Us is brilliant, get it now)

PS4 Has better specifications, and more importantly alot better price. PS4 is the superior console with plenty of exclusives planned!

tbh i think ps4 will win the battle this time, alot better console

Does the ps4 eye thingy do the same as kinect? Will it work as well? If yes, I'm leaning towards ps4.

I've had an xbox 360 but I'm changing to play station 4. Xbox seem to be going for the whole media centre approach and seem to have dropped the ball a few times already, especially with regards to gaming. A quick google search suggests play station will be way more popular, with xbox having to rely on current customer loyalty.

There's no point being an early adopter when new tech comes out.

 

You'll pay a good hundred quid more than the people who buy it 6 months to a year later, and you'll end up getting a smaller hard drive and there's no guarantee that the early models won't be plagued with some sort of ring of death problem.
