[quote=Morathi's Darkest Sin 663873 8137584 44cff0d118782f1817c02d2ce1de454d.jpgalthough, the 360 pad was 100% better than the one, still hoping someone does a retro version at some point..

I quite like the x-box style controller, I have one for my games I got from razer.

I have XBOX 360 and PS3 and always liked the XBOX 360 a lot better. Above all the controller.
PS4 controller seems to be better, but i have a XBOX One HALO edition coming in next month, so the primary choice has been made, and i don't know if i will also get a PS4 later on.

PC is nice and has advantages. But i don't like both sitting in front of a monitor even more (i am an ICT-specialist).
And shooting with a mouse is IMO about the least interesting thing there is, followed by moving by using a keyboard.
I strongly prefer a controller.
And yes, i know "you can use a controller!" but that is totally unbalanced if the other players don't and just use the mouse and point and click.

Are you referring to the Xbox 360 or the Xbone? I know the early versions of the 360 had a tendency to brick themselves so I waited on improved models before picking one up but I have never had an issue with the One nor heard of others having it be so problematic.

Sorry, yes I should have made it clear was the previous generation machine the 360.

On the Xbox, I want Halo 5 and Fable Legends (as panned as that series is, I still enjoy Fable games overall).
On the PS4, I want the Last Of Us and Until Dawn.

I couldn't make up my mind, so I joined the PC Master race instead and built myself a pc for the first time.

There's no hard and fast "best" of the two. Not at this point in time.

PS4 is a more powerful system and more complex games/those who push the hardware tend to look better on the PS4, better look and higher/more consistant framerate.
XBone has a better, more comfortable controller, though the PS4 one is a lot better than the PS3, where the 360 controller was massively superior.

If all your mates have one or the other, than that should be a consideration.
If you're a particular fan of Halo or Uncharted, or Killzone, or Gears, than that should be a consideration.

EA Access (XBone only) gaks all over that PS "rental" system.
XBone backwards compatibility coming soon is also a significant net positive.

Both decided to be dicks about allowing previous-gen controllers and peripherals to work, right down to a ridiculous incompatibility with Bluetooth headsets.

XBone had some serious missteps early on (TV hub focus, always-on DRM, mandatory Kinect) but these have mostly been rectified.


PS4's user-accessible/upgradeable HDD is a point over the XBone's inaccessible HDD.
however
XBone being able to add external HDD for game content is a point over the PS4's inability to do the same.

On balance, the Xbone's expansion system is a little better. Obviously the ability to do both would be the best. Hopefully Sony can add this via a software update and MS can with the next physical revision/slim.

The XBone's UI is horrible. I'm hopeful the upcoming update will improve it. The PS4 system is better, but still not great.


My personal preference of the two is the PS4, just as it was the 360 of the last generation. Both are still good machines. I still own an Xbone and PS3 however.


The PC obviously has it's good points as well (KBM to start with!), but this thread isn't about that, so PC Master Race gloating is just being dickish. Also, I'll take Batman on PS4 over PC.

If you want to play a select set of games at near-slide show frame rate levels.

I've had all kinds of systems throughout the years and have also played on PC's. The PC is superior to all IMO, but the selection is limited for what I like to play. I loved my 360 and adapted to their controller. It took a long time to get used to it. I have the PS4 now and I do like it a lot, but it crashes, re-starts and is a pain in the neck sometimes. My 360 never crashed, it was rock solid. Now that I hear the XB1 is going backward compatible, I'm wanting to go back to that route. If only they (XB) would adapt a PS controller, it would be a no brainer.
