PS4 vs. X1!
Posted: Wed Jun 19, 2013 12:21 pm
The new console war has started and some already claims PS4 the victor after some really bad marketing and presentations from Microsofts part, but what do you think of these new consoles coming up (without jumping on the hate train ).
Personally I am not that negative to X1 as I'm always online where I have my PC/Xbox, want my games to be digital downloads and both systems will run just about the same games (Except of the exclusive titles) with very few differences in graphics. So, the question becomes more about exclusives and I like the idea of having just one multimedia box in my living room than plenty.
Still, I am sitting on the fence on this one and haven't decided. Sony hasn't exactly been clear on how they will do things. I mean, saying that PS4 won't have DRM is one thing, but can you copy your digital downloads to friends? Share them with them without restrictions? I don't think the game developers/digital retailers want that... and then I think it's better with a DRM that is almost invisible, a solution that is integrated and even helps the costumer, not being a hindrance (Like some DRM systems are today).
Anyways, future will tell. Thus far I feel like there's lots of complaints that is quite overdone against X1, while PS4 gets away with questions because they say what a lot of gamers want to hear. I am personally thinking PS4 because it seems it can give me what I want and costs less than X1 (And I don't need/want kinect either), but I'll still wait and see.
