I know this is a weird question, not that I'm champion anything but, say for instance, if the PS4 had all the same features as of now, would it come down to features as such, aesthetics looks between UI, or just games?
Sorry, I didn't notice this post before, so I'll reply now.
If the PS4 and Xbox One were identical in features, then the choice on what console I would play on most would primarily come down to game yes (with multiplats probably defaulting to PS4). At the moment, that would still leave the X1 being played more, as surpisingly, the only multiplat games I've purchased so far (excluding stuff received via EA Access) are Destiny and Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare... and PvZ was purchased before a PS4 version was dated.
So why do you have a PS4 then? What are you waiting to play on it?
To me, it sounds like your and Xbox guy/gal, just by what you described.
Guy btw, ignore the avatar. Glacius was taken lol. (... by T.O.P. ... who's no longer using it... hmmm...).
Basically, I don't always make sound decisions lol. I was pretty hyped for Driveclub, as I'm a huge PGR (and MSR) fan. I've also owned every major console in each gen going back to the NES and Master System, so I guess it would have happened at some point anyway. I haven't sold it, simply because I don't actually need the cash I would get back from it. At some point there will be games I want to play, that only it will offer (c'mon Shenmue 3 lol), so I'm fine with having it just lay about for the time being.
I'd agree with you that as of right now, I'm definitely an Xbox guy.. I won't deny that. That just has more to do with it being my current preference based on what they're offering today, rather than any long-term loyalties though.
I think it is safe to say that everyone (knowlingly or unknowlingly) purchases a console on future promises (unless that person only cares about a single game that has already released).
And yes i totally agree that Sony should get their ass in gear when it comes to updates.
However my point still stands, Most of your listed pros of the Xbox One can be added to the PS4 via updates.
Yea, I didn't word that very well. Rather than saying I didn't buy the console based on future promises, it's more that I don't buy consoles based on things that are theoretically possible, but have no reason to believe they will actually happen any time soon. Apple could theoretically offer pretty much everything Android does, on iOS. In a discussion about which product is superior though, I'm not going to factor in that possibility until it's a reality. My opinion is that the PS4 isn't a better gaming machine as of right now, that doesn't mean my mind cannot be changed.
