Yes, but great graphics and a load of shite games wouldn't make me switch consoles. That would be pointless.

The PS4 has better graphics capability than the XBOX ONE, by some distance.
Just as the PS3 is more capable than the 360 but I'm yet to see a game on the PS3 to show the difference.

I actually pre ordered the PS4 but changed my mind once Microsoft changed there stance on a few things. I just feel you get more for your money with Xbox. Online gaming is a huge part of my enjoyment and Xbox wins that battle hands down.

As for shite games, there is plenty of top titles coming out. Titanfall being one of them. Exclusive to Xbox. New Assassins Creed, Battlefield and Call Of Duty on both consoles looks fantastic also.

Can't wait personally.

Indeed, which was my point - it's the games that's key rather than the graphics. Fortunately, there isn't just XBOX ONE and PS3, so you can still generally pi$$ all over either on your PC. :-) As with the last gen, I'll probably end up with both, sooner or later, but I'm still not getting the immediate urge to pay MS $100 more than Sony, and it's a bit wait and see with Sony...

I thought of that one too, but I've not actually played it yet - only caught glimpses of other people in the house playing it.

I loved the Last Of Us. Probably my favourite game of all time. Graphically very good but wouldn't say better graphically by a feckin mile. Even if I agreed with you, it took them all these years to finally produce 1 whole game that beats down the competition.

The price difference doesn't really bother me to be honest because I'm getting FIFA 14 free with my X1 so that's £50 made up and then you also get the Kinect which more than makes the price fair. If someone doesn't want the Kinect they could sell it new for more than £50.

Selling the thing is "hassle" and I wouldn't buy FIFA14 anyhow. :-)

If it works for you - well n good. :-)

Can't see why anyone would choose the Xbox over the Playstation. It's like choosing dog food for tea when there's a nice rump steak in the fridge.

I will probably end up with both due to exclusives on each.

That comment is bobbins though. What does the PS4 have over the X1 apart from slightly better graphical capabilities that we won't probably won't see?

The X1 can do more things.. It has the cloud which will be used to further enhance game grapics etc.. One massive factor that sways a lot of people is Xbox Live because it destroys Playstation network.

Kinect is much better than the PS eye.. Although it might not appeal to some it is still pretty impressive on the X1. Simple things like it knowing if you give the controller to another player it automatically knows and signs them in on there profile.

Meanwhile that Call of Duty:Ghosts Extinction trailer is amazing. Looks a bit Gears of Warsie which is no bad thing.
I've given COD a miss the last couple of times but I'm tempted again with this.

Wow, THIS threads still going? :oyea:

As it is I've just bought Diablo, so enough geekiness to keep my going when I'm able.

Seriously passed off with the news that Fallout 5 has been delayed for another 5 years though! :whack:

Found out there is LOTR: Conquest on XBOX 360, which is basically Star Wars Battlefront 2 but Lord of the rings.... I have to have it!!!

Bidded on it in eBay from UK, got to $15AUD and decided we couldn't afford it;

Sadly my Grandma-in-Law passed away at the weekend so we went to Warrigal to organize the Funeral.

Me and 1 Year old Lomi went to Town while the meeting was going on, I go the the Video Shop and look at Ex-Rentals and what do I find for $15...........The Game!!!!!

when I purchased it I noticed it was a bit scratched and was offered to put it through the Cleaner machine but said no, now I wish I did as when the game is put on during the menu screen it stuffs up, But I did get a go at the Tutorial Level and I love it!

It wasn't rated well by people, but I am going to love playing it!!!

~

Recently I have bought:

NHL10 EA Sports
Many Halo Figures, both MEGA-Bloks & Mcfarlane Avatars
SEGA Rally
Plus some Demo discs: I look where the mag is in Supermarkets, and sometimes previous months have fallen out, so a great SCORE for me, although my heart beats really fast when I get them.
