Everything is black and white
What I don't understand is people's inability to see value in things that aren't their favorite. It's true in all aspects of technology (see: iPhone/Android debate), but gaming fans are the worst.
The incremental differences in abilities are inevitable. There are things that the PS4 will be better at. There are things that the XB1 will do better. The question is why does a slight lead in anything imply that the other machine is somehow not just mildly inferior in a category, but utterly terrible? Doesn't anyone else hear Ricky Bobby in these debates? You do realize that's a joke, right?
The nice thing is that there are two really good choices. Neither machine has a significant leg up on the other. The only real issue is that because the choice is not so clear cut, we will all likely see our friends lists splinter. That's the only negative I see.

8 RepliesEdited by DE4THINC4RN4TE: 8/26/2013 11:33:47 PMI like iPhone's, but see the value in other brands. I prefer the Xbox One, but agree that the PS4 is a good gaming console. I like to use a Mac, but acknowledge the benefits of PC's.... FML (Edit: FML rescinded due to mod request. Sorry DE4TH.) (Edit 2: No problem man.) (Edit 3 [1]: By the way you're looking good. You working out?) (Edit 4 [2]: Yep! Thanks for noticing.) (Edit 5 [1]: So are we going to let this edit joke die before it becomes overdone?) (Edit 6 [2]: Too late.) (Edit 7 [1]: Crap.)

6 RepliesTwo really good choices? Hm, no. Unlimited choices on PC, then there's current gen, then there's next gen like Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, Ouya, Occulus Rift and Steam Box.

Or maybe people want you to see it there way and don't point out the values in the things they don't like.

2 RepliesI'm leaning towards Xbox One simply because of my preferences. You must be pretty pathetic if you're upset that I'm not buying what you're buying.

4 RepliesEdited by Trollheim: 8/26/2013 3:35:48 PMOne has better hardware, is cheaper, has less expensive online play, and has more established exclusive franchises. They may both be [i]good [/i]choices in your eyes, but one is the better choice. To those whose money is more precious, they very well may see what appears to be a marginal difference become very significant to them, and therefore one may be terrible and one may be great. Shoot, the marginal difference between Halo and Call of Duty isn't that significant, and yet you see people flip their shit over how awesome they perceive Halo to be and how poor they believe Call of Duty is.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the "my dad can beat up your dad" arguments either. I think people like to think of a company's, sports team's, tv shows, and whatever else's accomplishments as their own so they like to talk up what they like and talk down what they don't. They talk about Sony and Microsoft like they're best friends with them or something instead of realizing that they are both just companies that want your money.

4 RepliesAgree with OP, I also dont understand why people insult you just for having a different opinion from them. Example: Poster 1: I like red. Whats your favorite color? Poster 2: Black is better,red is for redtards! Poster 1: ?????

Y'all mother-blam!-ahz need Sony.

1 ReplySolution? Get both.

1 ReplyYou're right man, the PS4 is only slightly better than the Xbox and $100 cheaper. The choice is only logical from here.
