No friends? I guess all us Xboxers in NoDo are nobodies. Sorry ZeNzI! We can't be friends!
Depends on what you like. I prefer the overall feel of the Xbox software and controller. No doubt the Playstation hardware is always better, but that's no surprise, Sony is a hardware entertaintment super company. Microsoft is a software super company. Since I only play 3-4 games a year (ones that have very high replayability), the "exclusives" and "free games" PS4 has doesn't weigh in. It's all down to personal tastes and your friends. My local friends all want to go Xbox One, that will play a part in my decision too.

PS4. Why? Common sense. The PS4 is cheaper and performs better (or so I've heard, performance wise). I watch ReviewTechUSA to try and keep up with things. Here's a pretty good video on the matter:

The fanboyism is real in this thread. The most annoying thing is people saying "everyone is going to ps4" No, no we arent. Every single guy on 360 that I have talked to is staying on xbox besides Broughy. Hes the only one buying a ps4. Ph33nx bought and sold it like a week later because he felt that it was a piece of shit and is now happy on x1. Not EVERYONE is going to PS4. Not even a significant number is going. None of the "top racers" on xbox are going to leave. We simply just do not care where Broughy goes, it would be nice if he stayed but either way Im not bothered. He goes to PS4 its his choice just like its yours but far from EVERYONE is going to PS4. Again Broughy is the only one I even know of and Im pretty active around these parts Some facts: X1 is cheaper PS4 is only more powerful in GFX card power. Nothing else. That wont be a factor for many years. The max potential of both consoles is a long way off. X1 has more exclusives and more exclusives you personally want right out of the gate. X1 controller is ergonomically designed. PS4 controller is not. You have friends on Xbox what do you think we would treat you like a pariah? Come'on man. OPERATING SYSTEM: Sony's is still awful even after the latest patch. They just now got their OS up to date with the 2010 xbox360 dashboard. Four years and an entire generation of console behind... ouch. Xbox does more with less. The PS3 outclassed the 360 in gaming power by 2x yet games ran better, faster and smoother on the 360.... Ports: Sony gets all the ports, games are made for xbox and ported to sony products with the exception of exclusives. This is because of the Windows OS. By developing for xbox they are inherently building the PC version at the same time. So Devs always start on xbox and port the game over. Thats why the extra power means nothing outside of exclusives. Xbox live: its just flat out better in every way shape and form. There is nothing PSN has to offer that XBL hasnt already had for years. Unbiased POV I owned a PS1,2& 3 aswell as a xbox360. Ive played on both ps4 and x1 but do not own either yet. I will be purchasing a X1 and maybe a ps4 down the road when they are a more reasonable price or if they make a game worth justifying me buying it. The only Sony game I wanted was Kingdom Hearts and they gave it away. That pretty much ended any desire to own a Ps4 for me at the moment. Good luck deciding. Im mostly bored and know that this will in no way help you decide since you flip flop daily lol but maybe it will help someone else. My main take away from research is you better be DAMN sure that there are a lot of games you are going to love that are exclusive to Sony or you are pissing away hard earned cash. Xbox is king of the multiplatform games right now and for the foreseeable future. Ive already had 3 friends buy their ps4 and return it or sell it.

^ the fanboyism is real in this post too. How can I be a fanboy of xbox when Ive owned every sony console except the ps4? I even owned a PSP. If anything Im a sony fanboy who is intelligent enough to see a higher quality company and product. At least I took the time and effort to construct a real list of reasons to purchase the console. Not "xbox sucks" "dont be a xboner" "PS4 is cheaper"(when it isnt) "common sense PS4 is cheaper" Still isnt lol. I also added IF exclusives coming to PS4 are on your must have list buy it, if not then dont but it. Everything I listed in the facts is true. That doesnt make me a fanboy. If I said "screw sony because they dont have halo and the Piece of Shit4 is garbage, xbox xbox xbox" you might have a point.

Almost everyone who's spoken to the OP has basically said PS4 not because they're fanboys but because they're already friends and would like to continue playing with him. Everything else was virtually a moot point, no matter how factual it is.

I will add some more fanboyism.
Same price where i live. PS4 has a more powerful GFX card. The max potential of both consoles will come much sooner than last generation as development is easier on this generation. 360 ports to playstation 3 looked worse only because of the complex cell processor. Now it's the same architecture so no difference and with Playstation outselling Xbox this generation i would not be surprised if developpers start on PS4 first then port. Exclusives is more a matter of taste but the only Xbox exclusive I am intersted in is Forza. I don't play FPS. Half of my Playstation 3 games are exclusives and I don't want to miss Uncharted 4 or The last of us 2. I have no problem with the Dualshock 4's ergonomics.

Everything else was virtually a moot point, no matter how factual it is. I see, I made a honest effort to keep that as non-fanboy as possible, so thats why I was defensive. I have no vested interest one way or the other just dont want people to make decisions based on false information because I felt the OP was genuinely concerned with getting advice. Also wouldnt want anyone else to come in and see this thread and make a purchase based on false information either. They should do their own research anyways but if they dont have time I wanted them to have a least one comment to look at that wasnt just friends of the OP trying to convince him to stay with Sony.

One thing is for sure, the PS4 UI is much better then the PS3 UI.

When helping me with this decision please don't give me fanboy answers like "You should get PS4 because Xbox Sucks"... I think this ^ caused the fanboys answers, when you ask to not do something ppl intend to do it. Tbh it's always hard to have an objective view on this subject, you'll always prefer one or the other. All the little details don't really matter that hard when you already got your preferred console. There has to be a big difference in quality to change those people. I used to have a xbox360 and the laser broke, than I got a ps3 so I played on it because it would have been dumb to buy a new console so close to next gen. And I liked the xbox360 more than the ps3 in almost every view. So when I bought next gen console, I ofc did some research since 400€ isn't an every day expense. And for me personally the PS4 is closer to what I like. So in the end, it doesn't matter what all the details are IF someone has a pre existing love for a console. AND the consoles are both same price where I live. But I think I've red somewhere, not sure if it's true, that in America more people have a Xbox because xbox is american and Sony (PSN) is Japanese. In Europe people have both, maybe more PSN than xbox. + This convo has been done for ever by so many people on which is best, Imo it's a bit pointless. All these discussions about xbox-psn, Iphone-Andriod, Mac-Windows..

It does get me angry when people talk crap about PlayStation and Sony since I have loved their consoles as a kid, but I try my best not to be a fanboy. Also I put that I didn't want fanboy answer because I wanted to know positives and negatives of each console, but that doesn't matter now as I have already made my final decision.

My decision would be PS4 because it's the console my friends will be playing on if and when they upgrade. i am aware that there is a holiday season price drop for Xbox one in the US but where i am they are the same price. Personally i haven't took interest in of the exclusives however I know Forza, GT, Last of Us and Halo all are well liked. rockstar do seem to be backing Playstation on Gta V, but right now that doesnt mean anything. On Xbox One you can use skype on it, basically giving Xbox one users a superior party chat to what they had on 360. (you can use other means to speak to them and retain game volume but this is more practical imo. However the biggest decider apart from exclusives is who i'll be able to play with and PS4 wins for me

Have owned all the iterations of playstation and Xbox from their creation, and it really does not matter one bit. If the console has games on it you like then go for it. Having online friends is probably the biggest factor. I was gonna switch to X1 because Ps4 had no exclusive titles anymore (ie: MGS5 and KH3) and I love Halo, but I have lots of friends on PS which I do not want to give up so I stuck to playstation. No fanboyism here. All about friends and the games you want.
