its time for the next round of the Console Wars...it seems that despite haveing the crap hardware, the X-Box 360 won the last round (i say crap hardware because of the Red Ring of Death problems).

The new Consoles will be hitting the stores soon...what will you be buying? Will you be in the long lines on day one? Or will you be like me and hang back, and wait and see how sales go before buying?

Bryce | 72 comments The Xbox one, or the spybox as I like to call it, freaks me out a little bit. I might just hang back and see how everything looks after several months. As of right now I'm leaning towards a PS4.

Neil | 3 comments I think I'll manage with the PS3 I have for the next few years. The last time I bought a brand new full price console was PS1. It just doesn't seem to be as much of a priority for me these days...
... but I expect I will eventually get a PS4 somewhere down the road. I never liked the XBox controllers... :P

i am leaning to the ps4 this time, but i will be hanging back for awhile. im going to wait and see if any hardware issues develop, as with the 360 red ring of death.

Andy Elliott | 21 comments Based on the launch line up I think the Xbox One pips the PS4 (just) based on Forza and Titanfall. However, Sony have the better first party studios so over its lifetime I imagine the PS4 will have the better games.

Having said that I ended up with a 360 and PS3 and have still got a pile of games I haven't played on either, so I'll probably sit out the this fight until the prices come down (both are overpriced, the One even more so).

Deeptanshu | 121 comments Obviously the PS4 will win. Microsoft has lost the trust of the consumers after what they tried to pull and Nintendo's hardware is a joke.

It was my understanding that the general consensus was that the PS3 won this round. Mostly due to the Play Station Network, Bluray player, and reliability.

But in any case, I'll echo others and say that I'm content to wait several years before I buy an new console. The Xbox One looks pretty bad, and I don't like the changes they are making to the Play Station Network. So for the next few years my primary console will be my PC.

Yeah, I'm not rushing out to buy one. (I'm especially uncomfortable with the growing notion that these console must to be connected to the Internet.)

It's interesting that neither of the two next-generation consoles are backward compatible with their predecessors (meaning I'm still going to need my PS3 to play the games I have been enjoying the last few years.) It also means there's no particular reason for brand loyalty (an Xbox One is as good as a PS4; neither plays my old games.)

The current listing of debut games for both platforms seem pretty dull to me. I'm moderately interested in the next Dragon Age, but that will apparently have PS3 version as well as new platform versions (unless EA changes its mind in the next year.)

OTOH, If Mirrors Edge 2 were to actually happen, I might have to rethink my position.

I used to play on PS2 but now I when I play it's a X-box360.And I don't want the One,it won't be compatible with the games I currently play.And I don't like the recognition idea.

Val Panesar | 28 comments Just to confirm, yes, they are making a new Mirrors Edge. It's apparently more of a restart than a sequel with even less emphasis on guns (which is good) but we won't be seeing it for a while. DICE have their hands full with Star Wars Battlefront 3 for now. Probably 2015?


message 13: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (ace-geek) Well frankly the Xbox One creeps me out. I've heard too many things about it to want one in my house. I'll be getting a PS4 at some point, just not this year. Right now I'm still playing the Xbox 360 I've got because there are still games for that generation that I haven't played yet even though the rest of humanity has.

PS4 released last week, XBoxOne friday...i sat them both out...how about you?

if you took the plunge, what system and what games?

Baelor | 19 comments Picking up the Zelda edition of the 3DS XL tomorrow.


Why get the PS4 or XBOne now when there are so few games, and basically no good ones?


message 16: by Bittman (new)

Bittman  (bittman) | 22 comments Here's the gist. If you want a dedicated gaming device, get a PS4. If you want an entertainment device, get an Xbox One.
