That is purely subjective. In terms of pure fact what advantage does the X1 have over the ps4?

Where is the Dreamcast and Sega in this conversation? Right....
Of course there are limits to what I can do with the games I buy... but I buy them to play them and if I feel like it, lend it or sell it to someone else or hell... use it as a fucking frisby. It's my choice.
I hope it works better than I am envisioning it.
If someone breaks into your house, he won't steal your X-Box One, because he will think it's an old ass VHS recorder ?_?
1) Does that justify that you will never be able to buy a game used / or to sell it, to rent the game, or to lend it to a friend? Just how often will you access your account from other consoles?
I appreciate your stance and understand your skepticism... It is my true belief that Microsoft does also... HOWEVER... come street date it is going to be on Microsoft to put its money where its mouth is and prove it...With the money MS is investing and the technology they are shooting for... I do not see them missing their intended mark by much (if at all).. However, like you... I remain skeptical.. In my case it will be until I see the final result.
Whether you like him or hate him, he is more educated on the intricacies of the VG business then either you or I.
So much wrong with this post, dude.
If you want to see someone smart and edjucated talking about the X-Box One VS PS4 topic, check out Total Biscuits Youtube channel. You won't fight a smarter person in the industry, who gives his opinion on the topic.
1) That wasn't the question, but for me, yes. Used game sales are very damaging to the industry, but beyond that, I vastly prefer Steam to any physical media. I have a PC and Mac at work, a PC at home, and a PC at my in-laws' place. All of them have my Steam account. Awesome.
Don't shift the goal posts. he asked me what the advantages are. There is no such thing as an intrinsic advantage of one game system over another, because they are merely objects and it is in the use of an object that we define value (existence preceding essence and all that existentialist stuff).
Holdon, you just went on a point-by-point refutation of my opinion and the advantages that I saw in the system, and then you essentially told me that my opinion is invalid because there are people who disagree with it. All I have been doing in this thread is trying to explain the realities of the market and the position MS/Sony is actually in, and what their goals are for their next systems. I'm not even planning on purchasing either system... I'm merely advocating that people step away from the tribalism and make an attempt to understand why decisions are made, and that their individual needs are not the only needs that should be catered to.
I would like to know what...
Oh you sensible bitch.
Ehhh... What did you see on PS4 that looked better visually than MGS5 Ryse and Titanfall?
As impressed as I was when Watchdogs dropped, stuff like Ryse and Forza + MGS running on the One is on another level and really defines what 'next gen' looks like to me. Not that Watchdogs doesn't look great; I think it'll be awesome. But within the first 20 seconds of seeing a few of the Xbox titles my jaw was on the floor.
I'm sure MGS will run just as good on the ps4 as well.
Yup -- I'll have to wait till I see it on both platforms, but Ryse and Forza were also on a ridiculous level graphically. I was really impressed by the PS4 launch event; but I think MS visually stole the show at E3.
LOLI'm sorry, but those games don't compare to the graphical beauty that is Sunset Overdrive.
Yeah, but I think that a lot of that is Bungie's amazing art direction. They have some of the best designers. It wasn't like Ryse where you were like "wow.. that almost looks real at some points" due to the sheer graphical power; but artistically it's top notch and that's what the company is known for.
