2 days ago, Microsoft revealed its new next gen console, the Xbox One. A few months prior to that, Sony revealed its next gen console, the PS4. Now I know some of us are fans of either one or fans of both, but I want MKO's opinion of the 2 consoles. I will give both specs of each and features that the respected company has announced to the public.



Xbox One reveal (honestly, its the best I found on youtube)

Xbox One specs:




Xbox One features:

Kinect with probably the best motion sensor in the world
Alotta entertainment apps
Windows 8 I believe is also in the system (could be wrong about that)
Uses Internet explorer (duh)
Fixed D-pad
Haven't heard much about the new controller so can't say anything about it
Achievements can change or be altered or whatever (Don't know if thats a good thing)
New exclusive games (probably sports and FPS :3)


Xbox One not so good features:

Pay full retail price for used games
Not backwards compatible
Xbox Arcade games do not transfer over
Have not heard about Microsoft streaming 360 (or original xbox) games via cloud
Kinect always has to be plugged in and on
Pretty much always has to be connected to internet to use most of the features in the console (you pretty much have to have internet to use the thing)



Playstation 4 reveal

Playstation 4 specs:



Playstation 4 features:

Stream live gameplay
Ask help from friend if he/she has the same game if needed (pretty much, they can take over your game if you are stuck on a part via share button thing whatevs)
Record and upload in HD
Stream PS1/2/3 games from Gaikai (eventually)
Try any digital games for free before buying them
Play games while their downloading (So, if a game is at 1%, you can start playing it while it completes its downloading process)
Play any PS4 game then switch to Vita via Remote Play

Ps4 not so good features

Not backwards compatible

...

I'm seriously not trying to be a fanboy here. Sony has not revealed much of the PS4 thats negative other than its not backwards compatible. That could be just me so don't take my opinion to heart.

And if I missed anything, please feel free to correct me.



Thats all I got so far for the 2 systems. Obviously more will be revealed on E3. Watch the videos or if you have already, gimme your thoughts about them. Which one do you prefer? PS4? Xbox One? Or both?

In my opinion, I'm leaning PS4. If push comes to shove, 3DS. Microsoft needs to get their heads out of their asses and reveal some badass shit at E3 for all the stuff they revealed 2 days ago. I have no idea why they would want to limit their consumers like that. I've heard nothing but horrible stuff ever since that conference. They've practically made their console into a TV/Computer. One use games. All that cable shit.


Thats another thing, why do they have all these features of live TV? We already have a fucking cable box to watch tv in the first place, we don't need another one so we can fucking wave our hands at the tv like an idiot just to change a few screens. Thats what a remote control is for. And if we don't have cable, all your incredible cable TV features are fucking useless. All I saw were sports and internet. Sports, okay I can understand. Internet. I'm sure we have a computer outside the console. Why else would we have internet.

I don't know. I think they just wasted so much time on all this entertainment needs instead of games. Thats why we buy it. To play revolutionary games. Not to play a game, swish our hands around to change a panel to tv.

Ugh.

Rant over. Your turn.
