Inevitable console upgrade...what do I choose?

XBone

897

PS4

1177

So I'm currently an xbox 360 player. I know that one day, probably nearer to Christmas time, I will be upgrading to a next gen console. I've had my heart set on the PS4 for some time but now, due to Destiny, I've had my head turned towards the Xbone only because of the ability to transfer my Destiny account from 360 to Xbone. I know the first DLC in December will be for all consoles but after that I'm pretty sure they'll only be available for next gen. So here's my question. Do I opt for the Xbone for the ability to transfer or do I go for the PS4 and start all over again but enjoy the bonus of timed exclusives?

  • PS4 is more powerful so a lot of games are going to be better on it. We're talking either better framerate (Tomb Raider), higher resolution (Cod, BF), more effects (MGSGZ), or any mixture of the three. It's not a MASSIVE advantage, but it does exist, and it will be that way for however long this gen lasts. Just like how most multiplats ran better on the 360, this time they will run better on the PS4. Look at the number of exclusives Sony put out over the last year for the PS3. God of War, Gran Turismo, Beyond, Sly Cooper, Puppeteer, Rain, MLB The Show, The Last of Us, plus all the Japanese exclusives that exist simply because the fanbase for those games is on Playstation. Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia, Disgaea, Dragons Crown, ect. Sony supports their consoles WELL into the generation, and because of the amount of first party developers they have, there will be a ton of exclusives. They aren't afraid of making new IP's either, even if its at then end of the generation (Hi, Last of Us) PS3 had a ton of good stuff at the end. Compare this to MS which was centered on 4 IP's and then kind of switched focus to kinect the last few years. I think Gears Judgement was the only big game that came out for 360 last year. Right now the libraries are at least arguably equal, but look ahead 4-5 years and ask yourself if you really think X1 will have as many exclusives or as diverse a library as PS4. In addition to all this, is how the companies themselves act and how each of them impact the industry with their policies. I don't feel like writing a novel, but it's a pretty large reason why a lot of Xbox fans including two friends of mine went over to Playstation and why the PS4 is outselling the X1. Some will just write this off as me being a "fanboy". However nothing I said is really opinion besides looking at the future, but to figure that out just look at the past gens and see for yourself who always has the largest and most diverse library. This isn't to perperuate the hostilities here or upset anyone, but I just hate seeing people say "they are totally the same". No they aren't. The consoles, the developers, and the companies behind them are different. I'm just giving MY honest opinion. Make your own choice.
