Owners of both PS4 and Xbox One: Pros and Cons

[longshadow11]

As the proud and possibly foolish owner of both systems, I would like a thread where those of us who own both can strut around like peacocks.

Actually, I would like an unbiased place where we can figure out which games perform best on which systems. It would also be nice to know which system is best for TV functions, internet, things like that.

I hope this can be a fanboy free zone.

Awesome idea for a thread. Personally I'm on the fence, and probably waiting until early next year (or if a good deal pops up sooner).

I'm weighing PS4 remote play vs. Xbox One's Kinect and tv integration stuff.

I've had both systems in with in the past week. PS4 HDMI port was messed up on my PS4 and I just took it back and got my money back for it. But this problem was in small number. So don't get to scared about it. But after returning it and getting my money back. I went and got the XB1 last night. I played one game before I went to bed. So far I'm loving the XB1. UI looks good and the controller feels pretty good. Overall once the bugs get worked out for both systems. They both will be good in the near future. It all comes down to which system you love more.

Havent been able to play games on my X1 yet as im downloading Ryse and its taking awhile. But I can give feedback on UI experience. The Xbox One UI is better in my opinion. The PS4 UI is much more simple, easy to navigate, but teh Xbox One is just packed with features and content. It also looks better to me. Thats just my opinion though. The Xbox One controller feels better in my hand but the PS4 controller is fantastic.The PS4 share feature is absolutely awesome and I expect Microsoft to implement it in some fashion in a future update just like I expect Sony to implement a deeper experience with voice controls in a future update.

I haven't played a game on Xbox One yet, but I did mess with the controller last night. Initially, I like the PS4 controller better. But the true test will be after playing a few hours of games and seeing which is more comfortable and responsive.

I like the simplicity of the PS4 UI. I don't want to navigate a lot of menus. My time is limited; I want to jump in and play before my wife starts nagging me.

I've been reading that Madden is prettier on PS4 but plays better on Xbox One. Seems to me like the controller would have something to do with "playing better" especially if most gamers are used to an Xbox style controller with Madden.

I have 2k14 on both and in my experience I found it easier to pull off dribbling moves on the Xbox One.

Both systems are great in there own way. I honestly feel gamers are finally winning in a sense

At times playing Madden it looks better on PS4 and others especially day games I think it looks better on The One.

Controls IMO are better on The One playing Madden and Nba 2K. They are more responsive

PS4 is very simple to navigate and The One has a ton of options at its disposal

I do believe owning both is the best of both worlds. I love the PS4's simplicity but the X Box One's UI truly seems like something next gen and exciting. It's pretty complex and will take a while to use seamlessly, but the possibilities are impressive. Watching Superman on the XBone is amazing; I have never seen a better picture. Could just be the movie.

Of all the next gen titles I have played, Forza has the most impressive visuals.

Re: Owners of both PS4 and Xbox One: Pros and Cons

Its really hard to give genuine pros and cons for both systems. They are both good and like someone above said, having both is best of both worlds. I got both mainly for the exclusives on each system. But if I had to give one the edge over the other. I would have to say Xbox One mainly because I am hooked with talking to my TV, changing channels, and playing games with the TV in the corner.

I agree both are great, you really can't go wrong if you are only buying one. I'm loving the TV stuff on the XBO. I think I like the PS4 controller better, but I do like the rumble in the triggers on the Xbox controller while playing NBA2K14. I'm really looking forward to the second wave of games coming out. I'm pretty sure in March, every second of my free time will be spent either playing Titanfall or The Show.

Re: Owners of both PS4 and Xbox One: Pros and Cons

I've been reading on both and it seems like PS4's graphics are better but the Xbox One controller is much more responsive and makes a huge difference. And on top of the media aspects of the Xbox One, that's why I personally love the Xbox One. But if you care about just graphics, PS4 seems to be the way to go at least right now.

Re: Owners of both PS4 and Xbox One: Pros and Cons

The ps4 has more than graphics but that's not the point. Honestly there are no cons in particular to next gen gaming. Pick which one you want is always a plus

Only cons so far are the lighter wallet, dealing with that tangled mess of cords behind the entertanment center and a mere 24 hours in the day to enjoy the purchases.

It came down to one simple con for me and the xbox1. No mlb the show. That is the only reason I went with the ps4.

And that's a good enough reason.

Overall though, if you're not worried about PS4 exclusives, the XB1 is easily the more sturdy and put together system when looking at it in terms of noise, heat dissipation, etc.

In terms of gaming, it looks like the PS4 is slightly more powerful... or at least developers have been able to optimize their games for Sony's system.

If you're ONLY going to be gaming - the PS4 is a clear-cut winner. If you want to do more, I would be investing in the XB1. It's an entertainment centerpiece that the PS4 could have been, much like the PS3 tried to be.
