The game plan right now is to wait until the new gen consoles are released, then when the price drops on a 360 bundle, snag that and have one of each 3rd gen. I can enjoy all that I've missed out on for Xbox and wait until later 2014 to potentially get a 4th gen console at a lesser price (with various firmware upgrades, assuredly).

Online gaming is really about the friends you make with other gamers. Having been on XBox since the beginning, I will likely stay there.

I may be selling mine :-)

What's making me consider switiching is the price, no backwards compatable games on the "one", "always on" feature on the "one", and nothing really free with xbox live. I also do not care for the motion thing with Xbox, if I wanted one I'd buy one but now they are forcing me to own one.

If I do switch and get the PS4 I'll pay for the PS+ and get the free stuff that comes with including downloaded games.

I love it. I'm almost always host, and have amazing internet connection most of the time.

So no 360 game will work on the 1 or whatever it's called?
[Reply]

That's another reason I am thinking of switching. I don't care for Kinect, nor will I ever....xbox live is certain to go up another $10 (just guessing, but why wouldn't it?) I don't play online with friends much anymore, I prefer single campaigns that take more than a weekend to beat and well worth my $.

What!!? no backwards with 360 games :-) what the hell
[Reply]

No. 360 games will NOT work on the xbox One.
[Reply]

But the NEW 360 just came out yesterday :-)
[Reply]

I am okay with no backwards games, I do not keep my old games anyways.
For me, my descision will be a matter of exclusive content & friends switching or not switching. I am really pumped about TitanFall but I will be able to get that one on 360 so I will have to see some other exclusives to keep me with Xbox.
[Reply]

I may just hold off until prices come down some and see what Shane thinks of the "One". If I do decided to get a new console I'll have to get all new games anyway for either of the consoles.
[Reply]

Even Splinter Cell?

Right now I prefer Xbox. But if rumors are true the Xbox1 embodies everything I hate, from DRM to a camera that actively watches you. It's like Microsoft made a list of things that piss people off and confused that with it's "wanted feature" list. PS4 here unless something changes.

That's the problem. It's not actually fair. Network lag for the host is simulated so they have some latency but because it's simulated, their latency stays 100% consistent while everyone else's lag will fluctuate at least 50-100 milliseconds; if not more depending on time of day, etc. At least on a dedicated server everyone's latency will fluctuate creating a fair playing field. My server/IT guy :-)

MS now states that the 24 hour check-in is not required and there will be discs and not downloaded games. :-), little too late?
[Reply]

I have decided to just hang onto my 360, purchase TitanFall and be happy.
[Reply]

The gameplay looks incredible.
I gave up gaming a couple years ago, no desire for the learning curve to keep up with the FPS titles. These games look like it'd take a college course to catch up.
I'm hoping I don't have to buy one of these for the kids, but I probably will. Were it me, I'd go to PS without a doubt. I've not forgotten the screwing I got on the 360 release, and MS can pound their platform in their ass, so far as I'm concerned.

I'd expect Sony to be a big winner on this one. All they need to do is listen to the gamers. MS doesn't even understand that sentence. :-)
[Reply]

PS4 for me, I have too many games for the PS3 that I don't want to give up. I won't buy the new one until the PS3 dies. We watch a ton of movies on it so I figure it'll happen eventually, sooner rather than later.
It's tough, I hate Sony and I hate Microsoft, apparently I don't hate Sony enough to switch platforms. :-)
[Reply]

Microsoft has now backtracked on their ridiculous policies. At least Sony was good for something by forcing Microsoft to allow users to resell games and not always be online. Still haven't seen definitive proof on backwards compatibility. :-)

Have pre ordered four PS4s for release day acquisition. Plan to quickly flip three to pay for mine (yes, I'm one of THOSE people). Actual conversation I had with a guy at work a couple of days ago:

Him - "You getting a XBOX One or PS4?"
Me - "PS4. You?"
Him - "Why are you getting a PS4?"
Me - "Familiarity, overbearing restrictions built into the XBOX One, similar specs, yet PS4 is a hundred bucks cheaper..."
Him - "Well the XBOX One comes with a Kinect and the PS4 doesn't."
Me - "Whoopity damn do. Never did care for Kinect/Move/Wii. When I wanna play a video game, I want to plop my ass down on the couch and veg out for a couple of hours."
