Xbox One/S - generally a bit under powered*, depends what you play though. Backwards compatibility** which's nice, hard drive can't be upgraded (unlike the PS4) so you end up pissing about with portable drives, don't get a 500GB console if you can help it. Games with Gold's a lot more generous than PlayStation Plus, with the free Xbox One and 360 games they give away, and with 360 titles you can still play them once your sub' expires (you can't Xbox One titles). Unlike the previous gen' both platforms now need a subscription for online play (the PS3 was free).
PS4 - more powerful, and a lot more popular than the Xbox. No backwards compatibility but Sony will rent you PS3 games Exclusives depends on what you like. Gran Turismo/Uncharted/The Last Of Us are the big ones for Sony. MS have shot themselves in the foot a bit as they've released Xbox exclusives (Halo/Forza/Gears of War) for Windows 10, although unless you have a gaming PC that might not be an issue.
Personally if you're going to play a lot of cross-format games I'd go for the PS4, if you like the 'exclusives' on the Xbox (lets call them MS exclusives) like I do then that might be a deciding factor. Also touching on popularity again, I'm billy no mates online as all my mates have a PS4, they outsold the Xbox (for various reasons) massively. I guess it depends on how much you play online/what your mates own.
*reversed with the PS4 Pro/Xbox One X with the One X being more powerful, but having only just come out you're looking at £150 more. |

What Halo games? Should have been more specific , Halo games going forward. Halo 5 and MCC missed the shit we need people to buy Win' 10 thing, so you can only get Halo Wars 1 & 2.
Both do blu-ray/DVDs, Sony were very Jewy with supporting different video/audio types at the start but I think they've rectified that. |

I'm not fond of the Xbox controllers. Every time I've played one I spend half the time looking down at what button is what.
Whereas I've been hitting circle, X, Square, triangle, L1, R1, L2 and R2 for a good 20 0dd years plus, so it's second nature.
Still have a working, chipped original Playstation and a PSone, a slim ps2, 3x ps3's 60gig 250gig and 500gig (60gb one
is YLOD) and a 1TB PS4 under my telly in the lounge. Probably about 500 games across all 4 platforms as I have a LOT
of copied Playstation games. I was selling them to people at work for a while, I was able to copy them on standard
disc burning equipment after renting them from blockbuster video back when that was a thing, and my pal chipped the
machines for a tenner a time.
So yeah, fanboi here too. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I originally gave up on Halo after the third one, so Halo 4 in the MCC was a pleasant surprise. Halo 5's pretty epic as well, 343 have done a better job than Bungie IMO.

They're basically the same Except Sony still put the analogue stick in the wrong place. I can go from PS4 to Xbox in something like GTA no problem, only the original Xbox (what people used to call the Xbox One ) was drastically different. |

I fear I've failed trying to give a balanced view and keep fanboyism out of it Typically the earlier console's weaker, think:
PS2 vs Xbox
360 vs PS3
Xbox One vs PS4
PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X
Typically the earlier console gets a boost in sales, MS screwed this up by having Kinect only packages originally, and all the DRM bollocks they originally wanted (even though it never happened).
It's interesting with the revised consoles, obviously they've always had slight updates, but it negates the need to switch platform if you want a better gaming experience. For example I got a PS3 cos the 360 was getting a bit dated, even though it was the last pop-in-and-play console.
Also Sony have been massive c**ts on the peripheral side, namely gaming wheels. Look at all the pissed off Fanatec owners who can't use their products due to licensing. Similarly they chose not to support the G25/27* gaming wheels for the same reason, which was along with a lack of backward compatibility and a few MS exclusives the deciding factor for me.

PS4, because of the exclusive games. I've never owned a PS3, just like you never have. My first games on the PS4 were remasters of PS3 games and I enjoyed every single one of them. Then I got to play some actual PS4 games and every one of them was a great gaming experience. I didn't get the PS4 at the launch, so many games were several months old when I got to them and I got most of them as ''pre-owned'' (cheap). There wasn't a exclusive game yet, that I wouldn't enjoy.
Why I never got a DirectX-box? Well, because it is just a DirectX-box. Yes there were exclusives on the 360, but not many and nothing I'd like to ever play (I never liked Forza nor Halo). With the Xbox One, the vast majority, if not all, of the formerly exclusive games are being released for the w10.
If you already own a w10 PC, that's capable of gaming (for the xbox one games all you need is a cheap GTX1050Ti; recommended for 1080/60fps in Forza and many other games), then the DirectX-box doesn't make much sense for you.
TL; DR: It's all about the games, not how you play them. If you want to play ports, then whatever system will do, I suppose. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Bought a PS4 Pro last year and a One X this year. (moneybags!)
For game sharing Xbox Gold wins, I also find the pads more comfortable.
PS4 has Last of Us, and a few other decent games
Buy both?
I've been a PC gamer mostly over the past 25 years or so, I bought into consoles again because PC cheats make me so mad
The companies that don't safeguard against them make me even madder. |
