So I've made a nice little pro-con sheet

I posted this on 4chan a while ago and thought it would be more useful, and permanent, here. -- Xbox One Pros https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWgUO-Rqcw -- Xbox One Cons >It's a Cable Box >Always Online DRM (I guess console gamers don't get why this sucks) >Kinect must be connected and functional >Non-Replaceable hard drive >Fee for trading games >No more renting games >Not Backwards Compatible >probably Costs as much as a higher end PC -- PS4 Pros 4k Compatability with software update Hardware actually worth the price PS have previously been Blu-Ray Video Game -- PS4 Cons Software still a Blu-Ray player Console will probably be more expensive than previous consoles Exclusive games (always a con guys, don't buy into exclusives, simply Sony paying people to keep it away from microsoft). A second computer, with heavy software limits. -- PC Pros Many more games that are just not available on console Mods Graphics can be higher than console Freedom of hardware Also can be used as a computer. -- PC Cons High End PC's can run you for 3x the price of a console (however 300 is sufficient to play any console level games. Requires a stronger internet connection Harder to play with friends (unless networked through skype) Thousands of Exclusives (again exclusives are always a con, but this one is almost a pro) Doesn't come with a handheld controller -- Wii U Pros Zelda, Mario, Metroid, WeeGee yadayada Very social console Games you can play with your parents -- Wii U Cons Cutesy games Exclusive game console Odd controls Two Separate hardware pieces Tablet doesn't always communicate right

  • [quote]>It's a Cable Box[/quote]TV is one of it's features. [quote]>Always Online DRM (I guess console gamers don't get why this sucks)[/quote]This still needs to be cleared up by MS. [quote]>Kinect must be connected and functional[/quote]I fail to see why this is a problem. [quote]>Non-Replaceable hard drive[/quote]Neither does the PS3 or the PS4 [quote]>Fee for trading games[/quote]That gor debunked. [quote]>No more renting games[/quote]That also got debunked. [quote]>Not Backwards Compatible[/quote]Neither is the PS4 [quote]>probably Costs as much as a higher end PC[/quote]You're an idiot.

      • I'm only going to adress some arguments because I don't have time for an essay. Huh, I never knew that having games that aren't super serious hyper reall shooter otherwise known as "Cutsey" was a con. the whole PS4 exclusives argument is exactly what microsoft was trying to do with early DLC. 2 seperate hardware pieces? are you kidding me? the tablet is your controller on the wii U, that's like saying the xbox controllers are a con. Doesn't come with a controller? it isn't expected with pc gaming, mouse+keys is the standard for PC Exclusives are a con? are you retarded? it's a good thing because it's something the competition can't provide.

        • Nice read just wanted a few comments to make. [quote]>It's a Cable Box[/quote] Some people may like that, extra functionality is not a con even if it isn't your fancy [quote] >Always Online DRM (I guess console gamers don't get why this sucks)[/quote] Only has to check every 24 hours as far as we have been told [quote]>Non-Replaceable hard drive[/quote] You should be able to attach a separate harddrive via usb port. [quote]>Fee for trading games[/quote] False, that has been debunked [quote] >probably Costs as much as a higher end PC[/quote] A high end PC costs over £1000, it won't cost that much at all.

            Some of your cons are based on opinion, but generally it seems like a fair list. Specifically: Xbox: [quote]>It's a Cable Box[/quote] I don't like it, you don't like it, but some people do. It could be a pro for some people. [quote]>Costs as much as a higher end PC[/quote] This one's not something I have a complaint with necessarily, but I don't recall them releasing a price for it?' PS4: [quote]Exclusive games [/quote] Some people go insane over exclusives. I don't quite understand it, and in general I think it's a shame that gaming has becomes such a divided niche. But again, it's mostly opinion on this one. Some people like the ammunition exclusives give to them for their arguments on the internet. PC: [quote]Requires a stronger internet connection[/quote] Eh, that depends on what game you're playing and how close you are to the people hosting the server. But in general, you're right. [quote]Thousands of Exclusives (again exclusives are always a con, but this one is almost a pro)[/quote] At least it's not usually a marketing ploy. Developing for the PC is just easier, and a lot of games being released on the PC these days are from start-up companies. [quote]Doesn't come with a handheld controller[/quote] The ever-lasting controller vs. keyboard/mouse battle. That's based on preference mostly. I usually find that I need a controller more when a console port to PC is poorly optimized for the keyboard and mouse such as Dark Souls. But even then, controllers for the PC usually don't cost much. I got a 360 style gamepad for $20, and it's amazing. Wii U: I don't know anything about it, so I can't really say anything for or against it or your points on this one. I have to commend you on how you got the price of a decent PC right. Most people say something along the lines of "IT'LL COST YOU $3,000 TO GET A MID-TIER PC".
