xbox one vs ps4 (1 Viewer)

Is the Infamous series really a system seller type? I played the original one after it was free and it was fun for a few hours but then got extremely repetitive. The storyline wasn't nearly good enough to keep me interested. And I never really heard that much hype over Infamous 2. So it's curious to me that it is being portrayed as a major system selling type title.
Nobody truly believes that inFamous is going to move hardware. I liked the first two installments, I'll play the new one, and it's almost certainly going to be the best PS4 exclusive so far (pretty low bar). But this isn't the kind of game that's going to make someone run out to buy a console.

Come to think of it, Sony never really had that one big must-own game last gen either. Uncharted 2 was probably the closest, but it wasn't in the same league as something like Gears or Halo (I'm talking here about mindshare, not quality -- obviously it was a great game). What Sony offered was a large number of different titles as opposed to a few monster franchises. It seems like they're following that same strategy now. By the end of 2014, if all goes according to schedule, you'll have inFamous, DriveClub, The Order, Uncharted, and probably another title or two, which is actually a pretty good first-year library IMO even if none of those games have the same individual impact of something like Titanfall.

It's loan sharks, dude . He's like the I Iraq Prime Minister of reporting.
Infamous bundle is outselling the Titanfall bundle at Gamestop. I really don't see how I am spinning that little nugget.

If Infamous is not motivating people to buy a PS4 then the other conclusion is people are willing to pay more for a PS4 with a game they don't want than to buy a Xbone with Titanfall. Which is actually worse news for Xbone fans.

you're going to call it an "Xbone" until the end of time, aren't you?

Your logic is completely flawed. But I do concur with calling it Xbone.

Yeah for the same reason I don't type out Play Station 4.

 
I'm a PS fanboy who bought both in December and I have been almost exclusively using X1. :bag:
What do you like the best about Xbone coming from PS3?
I'm going to put on my Swami Hat and say online play. Amiright?
My guess was voice controls, that seems to be the big one.
My guess is the games. It all comes down to games. Regardless if some games are lower resolution (though Xbox One upscales so you can hardly tell the difference).

Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, Halo, Sunset Overdrive, etc.
Sorry, I forgot about this post.

Actually it's the interface for me. Still not enough games on either, GF hogs it most of the time playing COD. I like how the cable goes through the xbox and with apps the xbox interface controls everything; cable, Netflix, movies, and all connected devices. With smartglass I'm able to use my tablet as a keyboard and mouse for the internet. With pin/split screen I can watch sports and surf the internet for stats at the same time. Ever since MS fixed the surround sound beta the interface has been working very well for me. And yeah, even voice controls, it's nice to just say xbox off and everything shuts down without touching any of my 3 rotes and controller. Now upstairs when I want to watch a DVD it annoys me a little that I have to switch the tv over to the PS3.

Like I said I haven't messed with the PS4 very much so I don't know if it has similar capabilities, but, I imagine it's similar to PS3 and is mainly focused on game playing.

fair enough. i find it smarmy and I think it damages your ability to appear neutral.

I think it would be less smarmy if you put a space between the b and the o. Like this: "Xb one"

that way it seems much less like an intentional d**k move by you and shows you are a reasonable person who is willing to make a tiny, tiny accommodation to his fellow gaming enthusiasts.

does that work for you?

First of all sure no problem I didn't realize I was being smarmy.

Honestly I knew that was a joke last summer but I wasn't doing it intentionally, and I certainly didn't think it was bugging people.

You're always smarmy but in this case they're wrong.

I think they're reading it as "X Bone" when you're actually saying "XB One. "

my perception is not wrong. my assumptions were wrong.

his course of action from here is completely up to him, but he can't know how another person perceives it unless he is told, which is why i bothered in the fist place.

 
I just sort of looked at it from consistency

PS4 = XBone

Playstation 4 = X Box One

PS3 = XB360

To call it XB1 would be like using PSFOUR that's not really the name of the product.

And the superfluous space would be XB One = PS 4

I have decided to go with Xb1 because I would forget the space and you know lazy always wins.

In any case some good news for PS4 and XB1

Yeah, Watchdogs will be my next video game purchase -- looks ridiculously awesome.

Mommmmmmmm! He's calling my console the "Xbone!"

Make him stop!!
i don't own an xbone. i own a ps4.

and i hardly think telling someone that they are coming across as smarmy is "crying to mommy", but i'll grant that it is possible for a certain segment to view it that way.

Ok you got me what is the name of the XB1?

And what are ragging on me for, Apes is cool and asked me to change what I was calling it because it was bugging him so no biggie. I was cool with his request.

You know what if you name your product The xbXB1one one and people have to apply logic to refer to it correctly that is not my fault.

I don't have a dog in this race, but "XBone" is the general nickname for it in all gaming circles that I'm in. You give Loan Sharks too much credit to think he's the only one that uses it.

Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about. The product is Xbox One, you know that. Sony decided to call their system both Playstation 4 and PS4, Microsoft made a decision not to abbreviate the name. You are purposely using an abbreviation in a condescending way.

You originally said you used Xbone because it was shorter, start calling it the even shorter XB1 or X1 then if you are not trying to be a ####.

XB1? :shrug:

Again my very first post after AWG was oh ok no problem. You guys put way more thought in this than I did apparently.

 
XB360 is not a very commonly used abbreviation for the machine. I've largely seen Xbox, 360, or Xbox 360. Similarly, people use either XBL, Live, or Xbox Live, and rarely XBlive. But honestly, who cares?

 
I'm going to humbly submit that if you really get upset over the new xbox being called the xbone, your gripe is with the marketing people at Microsoft who came up with the name. That term was in circulation literally minutes after the console was revealed. It's like Microsoft's marketing team had never heard of Pen Island before.

If I wanted to troll the Xbox One boards I'd always refer to it as Xbone. I'm not sure anyone cares, but I just thought I'd share.
You realize you just quoted a post that was made prior to E3? The abbreviation may have started in jest, but it's now accepted as common. I don't understand the problem.

Yeah really, I am not a XB guy and I didn't think I was saying it wrong.

It's like when you name your kid and you try to take into account whether the name could be used for mockery. Yeah, I know that we aren't all parents, but those of you that are may relate.

Speaking of which, Nintendo needs to be beaten for naming the "Revolution" a Wii. And beaten again for thinking Wii U was even better. Yes, I'm beating a dead horse.

 
Ctsu - you just have to learn to ignore him.

His MO is to an agitator then pretend he doesn't know what you're talking about and pretend to be completely innocent.

He's either the most clueless person on earth or it's intensional. Every single one of his post contain A public service announcement on the PS4 like this place is his personal Twitter page , A negative about the Xbox, or both. He's admitted to me in a PM that he enjoys arguing consoles. So if he enjoys arguing for a particular console then he's a fanboy or troll or both.

Now there's nothing wrong with being a fanboy, but he's doing this place and this thread a disservice by spitting his propaganda constantly.

Personally, I think I'm still leaning to the Xbox one still. I just find it to be a slightly less powerful gaming machine, but has so many more other useful features for my needs. Having said that I don't litter the board 15 times the day with updates from obscure Internet sites pimping the Xbox one.

I'm now leaning to believe that he's quite literally that dense, there's a reason his wife works nights.

Now Que. the violin where he pretends to not have a clue what the #### were talking about.

ETA - please excuse my grammar in this post I'm driving at the moment and I'm using the voice to text feature.

On a related note:

http://kotaku.com/what-well-tell-our-kids-about-the-console-wars-1537132362

Nobody walks around telling nostalgic tales about the console wars—and thank god for that, because most "war stories" about console wars would be awful.
That's exactly what makes this comic by Stephen Maurice Graham hilarious—if we took the console war seriously, then we'd all have dramatic anecdotes about horrible online interactions like this one:
