PS4 or Xbox1?

[KSpan]

Let's recap:

 

A thread where the OP is asking about 2 gaming consoles, neither of which is a PC, is made.  Said thread then garners posts from people espousing the superiority of PC gaming and those who do it, in the process belittling console gamers who may very well be/have been PC gamers.  One console gamer, who again may also be/have been a PC gamer, is then accused of 'hating' when responding to a smug comment from a poster talking about something that was never intended to be in the thread in the first place.

 

Seems legit.

I'm a PC gamer as well as Console gamer, but the Steam box is going to be just like a PC that your going to need to upgrade occasional through a 3-4 year period unless you go into the higher end on parts. 

 

That being said, I'll be building a steam box for my living room once I can decide on everything.

i have a friend that's still gaming on a 2.4ghz dual core amd with a 240 gt video card that he's had for almost 8 years

 

so...

That card came out in 2009. And yes, I used to play a lot more games on PC when I had the time. No one here is arguing the point that PC is where the best graphics and flexibility can be found, but not everyone has the time or interest in keeping up with the hobby in that manner. Doesn't make them inferior to select a different platform that better fits their life.

And I agree with the post above about the Steambox. If it quacks like a mini PC and runs like a mini PC, it's a mini PC. Different platform for a different type of hobbyist.

My girlfriend and I got a PS4 at launch, and like using it quite a bit. As for the Xbone, the experience I have had with it is primarily getting frustrated with the Kinect's inability to understand voice commands (I shouldn't have to yell "Xbox go to Netflix" five times to make it work).

Yet you end up looking like the fool who is shouting at his console.  I just bypass the voice commands.

Love the voice commands for tv watching.  Works fine for 90% of what I do.  Yeah it can't find 645-1 on Direct TV...YET.  I could see this easily being software upgrades to enhance the tv viewing. 

 

Stupid internet being upgraded and down until 6th...so can't test Skype or other stuff.

While one week of sales figures doesn't say much, it is surprising that the Xbox One didn't outsell the WiiU the week of Christmas....

 

[shreddingdefense]

Got my wii u and am happily anticipating 2014 games that will be only available for it. I also have a ps3.  I'll glady take my mario, kirby, and legend of zelda over all the brown graphic first person shooters. Sure the wii u isnt as powerful as the ps4/xbox1, but i think thats the main problem with gaming nowadays, everyone focuses on the graphics. Graphics alone do not make a good game. So far nintendo makes fun games for me over the other two.
