This
is one time the next generation of war of the consoles will be interesting as
for once both are offering totally different things. Microsoft have taken a
bold move over there used games and while many feel torn over the issue it
could end up changing the way the used game market works and Microsoft could
find many gamers jumping ship to the PS4 so between now and release we could
find them changing the policy they have set. Sony are investing heavily in cloud
gaming platforms and with the benefits it could bring like cross platform
saving I can't wait to see how it plays out 12 months from now.
Most
are jumping on the bandwagon of pricing saying the Xbox One is too
high but if you compare to the original 360 that come with a 20GB hard drive
that was £270 and then Kinect on release was £130 that is all ready £400 so
this time round for an extra £30 you're getting a bigger hard drive
at 500GB and Kinect 2 with full 1080p recording, I think Microsoft might have
overpriced a bit but what company doesn't and for the
price you're paying the package is amazing. While sony may have
priced the PS4 lower at £349 by the time you buy the Eye cam at £44 your only
35 behind Xbox One

As a proud owner of a play station 3 would certainly go for the play station 4 except in a situation where by games are available on the play station 4.
Based on pricing the play station 4 would definitely be off the shelves faster than the xbox one, but if you are a lover of Xbox then you are in for a real test. Tell me what you all think.
