PS4 Arguments

The following is a list of real arguments we hear PS4 fans make every day and how you should reply.

 1. PS4 is more for gaming.

By that, do you mean it's better for gaming? All Sony did was take the lazy route and add a ton of useless features such as a touchpad and a lightbar. Actually that's not all they did. They also copied off Xbox SmartGlass by making an app called: PlayStation App. The Xbox One, however, has some truely new ideas and features. For instance: extremely fast multiplayer (300,000 servers and counting), trigger vibration/resistance, stronger controller vibrations, voice commands, better game A.I. capability (Thanks to the cloud, your Xbox One will see how other players behave and act and will be able to integrate that in game A.I..), a better matchmaking system called "Star Party", and the ability to run two games at once. None of these features are available on the PS4 unless Sony tries copying off Microsoft again. Bottom line: Sony tacked on a ton of unnecessary features. Microsoft added and improved useful ones.

2. PS4 has free online.

With the PS4, you'll need PS Plus to play online which costs $49.99 per year just like Xbox Live Gold.

3. PS4 has more exclusives.

PS4 doesn't actually have more. If you noticed, most of the conference was spent talking about either indie games, or non-exclusives. there weren't actually many triple A exclusives. The Xbox One, however will have lots of triple A exclusives and indie games.

4. PS4 is cheaper.

You get what you pay for. Pay less to get less or pay more to get more.

5. Xbox One spies on you.

According to the general counsel and executive vice president at Microsoft, that's not the case. And if you're still worried, the Kinect 2.0 (which, by the way, has seen rediculous improvements http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi5kMNfgDS4) can actually be turned completely off.

6. PS4 has better graphics.

A. Well good graphics won't help a glitchy piece of junk that skips during gameplay.

B. As of August 2nd, The Xbox One GPU went from 800 GHz to 853 GHz. (The PS4 GPU remains at 850 GHz.)

7. Xbox One is just a glorified cable box.

Just because the Xbox One offers more entertainment options than PS4 doesn't make it a "glorified cable box". For that matter I might as well call PS4 a glorified Blu-ray player.

8. PS4 looks cooler.

If that's all you care about in a gaming console than go for it.
