    wish i had a ps4….

  2. jlo138 says:

    I’ll get neither of the two. I’m just gonna stick with my WiiU. I hardly ever play that too. I’ve purchased a few games within the last 6 months and have yet to play them at all.

    Another note… Why doesn’t Microsoft make a portable system that can run new gen graphics and offer original Xbox downloadable games?

    • joji says:

      There is. It’s called a laptop with a xbox emulator.

      • Sukunda says:

        Except there are absolutely no good commercial Xbox emulators that can play any games at all. So, besides that, yeah, definitely a great choice.

    • drd7of14 says:

      Probably cause they can’t even figure out the tablet/phone ecosystem. Getting involved in another division, competing partially with those same phones on a “game” level along with the 3DS(N3DS) and PSVITA is a dangerous ground for success. It’s such a hard sell for the general use markets.

  3. knarlockk says:

    The Wiiu will probably be the big winner this holiday season. It really is the best choice of the three

    Vita will rise out of its ashes

  5. Lucif3r says:

    Ermm… You listed Titanfall as an Xbone exclusive? Dude, its not an exclusive if it exists on another platform!

    • wololo says:

      It is “exclusive” compared to the PS4, as in “the ps4 doesn’t have it, so if you want to play that game, you either get a PC, or, in the context of this article, an Xbox One”. I am aware that it is available on other platforms

    …And I am still having trouble choosing between N64 and PSOne.

    WHO CARES ABOUT WHO WILL WIN…. GIVE ME THE BUBBLES NOW!

    • Xilence says:

      You sir are the biggest troll I’ve ever seen.

    • Dockotis says:

      Blah blah blah bubbles!! I don’t want to do any of the work and want to reap the benefits now and demand it! I’m a whiny B***h! Waaaaah! Gimme gimme gimme!

      (Not representing my views, because personally I’m fine with TN-V as it is without need of bubbles. Just impersonating others.)

  8. xoombie503 says:

    What about share play wololo?? That’s a pretty strong feature for families and friends.

  9. Leires says:

    So far, the libraries for both are still -very- lackluster..Nothing superb on either side that’s power enough to pull me away from PC and make me spend that much. I’m the kinda guy who’ll buy a system solely for one game (Wii i had bought, initially, for Fatal Frame IV, only to find out it didn’t come to the US, Vita i bought for P4G and Soul Sacrifice), but thus far they’ve got jack diddly.

    I’m an RPG player, mostly. I enjoy games that will eat hundreds of hours of my time, especially since i’m paying $60 friggin dollars for a game. Wii U has a fantastic lineup, i will say. I’m just waiting to see if they announce a Xenoblade Chonicles X bundle and i’ll be on that trolly so damn fast. Smash bros, Hyrule warriors, Pikmin, XCX..Verses what on the PS/xbone? Shooter. Shooter. Racing game. Third person shooter. Decent game that i don’t care to rebuy. Poor man’s pikmin.

    Meh.

    What about the Wii U as Nintendo have their trump card to play as Smash Bros is coming out this Friday so that should shift some consoles.

  11. Lambda says:

    And I keep wondering about Wii U

    Honestly, I have a ps4, psvita, 3ds xl and wii u, and the ones I keep playing the most are Nintendo consoles
    Psvita: Tales of Hearts R
    PS4: free games (psn plus promotion) the first game I will buy is Guilty Gear Xrd
    Wii U: Currently playing smash, bayonetta 2, hyrule warriors and Mario kart… 4 games
    3DS XL: Currently playing smash, pokemon OR/AS and cooking mama… 3 games..

    Not to mention, it is cheap, and has some unique features… honestly? I think wii u would be a better choice.. for now… since most of the big games will come on 2015 (for all consoles)

    • Zorak_Torok says:

      Most big games are not going to be all consoles. VERY little is coming to the U… When a console misses a call of duty game completely, you should consider that a sign. Id like the wii U to do well, but I would rather see mario, sonic and and sackboy in a legit game.

    • mylvein says:

      mario kart – not interested
      bayonetta 2 – not interested
      hyrule warriors – i hate zelda stuff
      smash bruh – nope

  12. zman says:

    You also forgot to mention aony has been plagued with errors. Semi bricks and online discrepencies. Remember people. Sony is a hardware company. Msoft a software company…..being the insides of both machines are almost identical. Better software always wins

    • zman says:

      Also ive read windows 10 rumours. Plus The app integration of smart glass and flawless windows 8 streaming..xbox one plays every movie file in existence. Sony cant even play mkvs.. my cbox automatically setup with my dlna server and i stream everything to my box….i set. Nothing….up… xbox. For the win….

    • Darke says:

      The problem is that MS has been considerably lacking in the ‘better software’ department so far as well.

      And no, better software doesn’t always win, in fact it rarely does; otherwise there wouldn’t be so much software around with security flaws. “Good enough” software wins, and both of the platforms at the moment have software that is ‘good enough’.

      Honestly the Vita’s software stack is better featured and implemented then both XB1 and PS4 at the moment.

  13. groxack says:

    Well I own both consoles and all i can say is that you have to chose the one with the exclusive games that you want to play thats the only thing that you have to consider.

  14. caliwizard says:

    I have seen the ps4 at Costco for $380 with a second contoller and a one year of ps plus.They offer this deal in store have not checked online.

  15. q says:

    Only reason to buy xbone is if your friends have it otherwise its all ps4 and as more ps4 in wild more likely your friend will have ps4 and do not forget better hardware

  16. Dockotis says:

    Wii U Master Race!! Better variety of games and nice lineup! Have had no need for P$4 out X80x 0n3. Got a gaming laptop for other games, exclusives are not that tempting (except for Wii U).

    ***FYI: Personal opinion, and I don’t care if others don’t agree.

  17. Rith says:

    The Wii U will win. All thanks to Super Smash Bros for Wii U.

  18. Tech84 says:

    I hope the PS4 wins, i own both consoles and a wiiu. But I hate the fact that Microsoft tried to screw its fanbase with all that bullcrap with and the whole brodude attitude it introduced.

    I also hope that the vita gets some much needed love from aaa games.

  19. k3nn says:

    the xbone is ugly as heck XD
    i don’t want that as my next gen console … i want my PS4 next ? yr when FFXV has a limited edition

  20. Ricky D says:

    Dreamcast is going to make a surprise comeback!!!!

  21. Mr Genius says:

    playstation always since birth lol xbox is 4 my loving pc…

  22. Merivex says:

    I’m having a hard time to think about my best choice.. I want to buy XBOX .. but then this news said ps4 is better. And when i scroll down to read the comment, the WiiU is better .. bAahh ! I can’t decide 🙁

  23. Row says:

    i have a PS4 and love it but am buying an X1 some time early next year, in January

  24. NNNRT says:

    You didn’t mention the bazillion advantages the DS4 has over the XB1 controller. And also Share Play, Share Factory, Play Room, etc…

  25. Iugoslavija Muisca says:

    both systems are very expensive, I wish psvita hacked cooming soon

  26. Cosmic Taco Cat says:

    I accidentally my wallet.
    Is this dangerous?

  27. mixedfish says:

    The Xbox will either match the PS4 sales or marginally beat it. But it would have achieved that with 2 price drops in the same year on top of free bundled games. A loss making victory isn’t what Microsoft had in mind, especially since the PS4 hasn’t once teased the prospect of any price drop at all.

    • knarlockk says:

      no, no way, not gonna happen

    • reaper527 says:

      do you mean lifetime to date or merely for the month of november? the sales gap is so big that ms has zero chance of matching LTD by year’s end.

      if you mean november sales, that will actually be an interesting thing to see. the ps4 is definitely the better system, but the x1 is being practically given away at fire-sale pricing.

      also worth mentioning, the $330/$350 pricing isn’t permanent. when the discount was announced, ms made it very clear that it was a limited time deal and set a very clear end date in early january. once the price goes back up, there is no reason to expect the x1’s resurgence to continue.
