Console War: PlayStation vs. Xbox

Postby The Creepoc Infinite » Thu Mar 19, 2015 7:49 am

::This topic is concerning the PlayStation 3 and 4 and the Xbox 360 and One::

I personally find the PlayStation console to be superior for many reasons, the PS3 has free online, and PlayStation plus allows you access to free monthly games (so long as you keep your subscription)
PS4 has superior graphics to Xbox1.

An argument can be made about the games however, which console has better launch titles and exclusives?
This is waaaaay more subjective, so take my opinion for what it is, I find the PlayStation to have superior exclusives. But the PS4 had inferior launch titles to the Xbox1

Here is a link about it if you wish to indulge yourself more into which of the 8th generation consoles is better:
www.techradar.com/us/news/.../ps4-vs-xb ... er-1127315

So can I ask you a question?
Which console is superior and why?

PS3>XBOX 360

PS4>XBOX ONE

Sony's Blu-Ray already allows for clearer graphics, and while PS4 had some weak launch titles, its exclusives will be awesome; the Uncharted franchise has been awesome, the stories were incredible, and it had a good movie quality without taking away from the gameplay. God of War is a staple for pretty much any 3rd person action-adventure game, and most games like that owe themselves to GoW. The Last of Us was so emotionally gripping that it made you forget that you're a person sitting in front of a screen with a controller, and sucked you in. Meanwhile, Microsoft pretty much just has Halo...

All in all, Sony is more technologically superior as well; being able to just charge your controller with any USB cable is way more convenient than having to buy batteries.

I gotta say, PlayStation is definitely the better hardware and better graphics.

But I think Xbox has the better games.
DeadRising 3 in particular

Not to mention that the PlayStation 2 was the most successful console in terms of sales and overall quality.

I wonder why all the kids I go to school with like the Xbox so much.
My friends like the PlayStation though.

Uncharted is one of the things I buy purely
because of what it is, regardless of all other shit.

I don't like the idea that it is the last Uncharted though

Yeah...I don't know, I can't see Uncharted ending, the only way to get Nathan Drake to stop plundering and killing terrorists would be to kill him, and that's not easy. If Drake dies, then...man...

The Xbox is superior.

The fact that the PS3 exclusives don't look any better than the Xbox 360's (which is much older) games is pretty sad. While it's a matter of preference, the Xbox controller really is a lot better than the Playstation's. Xbox Live is quite clearly superior. Less downtime, better stability, and didn't get the data of its users leaked.

The Xbox One, meanwhile, hardly looks any different than the PS4 in the way of graphics, and (again) has a much better controller and network, as well as the exclusives, such as Halo, Gears of War, Sunset Overdrive, Crackdown, Quantum Break, Fable, and Forza.

Mountain Dew is disgusting, and Call of Duty is massively inferior to Battlefield, although Halo is most excellent, and I'm looking forward to Halo 5's release later this year. Why?

I don't think it's that big a deal really. I buy Playstations, because I always have done. They are both pretty much the same. It's just fanboys selling their souls to their chosen corporation, for no real reason.

Exclusivity is frustrating to me, with third parties. Why let a rival system's users suffer?
