I did speak to two game shops selling them and both shops reckoned the ps4 was outselling the xbox one 3 or 4 to 1. Is that a country wide trend? If true, it's a very poor start for Microsoft! In the end I'll end up with both systems, because I don't like missing out on top titles. Saying that, I am biased against Nintendo, I just hate their hardware so much. Two consoles and a pc is enough.

When people discuss Xbox one and PS4 in XBOX ONE VS PS4 thread, they are being called off fanboys, talking about boring stuff and being lame, not cool and all. Someone throws in off topic Wii U post and it gets a "decent" status, hand shakes, 3 kisses on cheeks etc. ( nothing to do with the actual quality of Wii U and/or title ). God for bid someone throws in PC argument, they are Crossed right away on nearest tree. Told to feck off and go play with their 10000eu pieces of junk... ( yeah, that figure grows every year, last year it was just 5000eu, bargain! :pac: ) I think that the whole "fanboy" thing is actually more damaging in other ways, then a Direct meaning of fanboy. Looks like people are afraid to show their liking to one or another thing, just because they will be marked as "fanboys" and not look cool and awesome, because the new Politicly Correct bull**** "Its not about on what you play, its about games dude" is the new cool thing. Starting to get totally disgusting. That Kills discussion. Someone comes in saying that he likes Wii U, he gets marked Nintendo fanboy. Someone comes in Liking Xbox, he gets marked an Xbox fanboy... and so on. Okay... If what, I think that there is a new Type of gamer "Smug Fanboy of neutrality with a polarity". I bet I am already got my Sony fanboy status here, though I am playing 90% on PC, 8% on PS4 and 2% on PS Vita at the moment. I do own ( owned ) all the last gen consoles and a had a huge blast with games like Forza 2,3,4. MH3, fire Emblem during the years even if I am not playing on those platforms right now.

Why are you buying a certain bit of hardware at this point. For example I could have stretched to affording the PS4 this year but I just didnt see the point when I could get the Wii U now for much cheaper with way better line up of games now and PS4 later when theres more on it and its cheaper. As I say most of us end up buying most of this hardware at some point its just the when and why I suppose that brings up interesting debate. For me fanboyism is something I associate with teenagers. Remember the Mega Drive v Snes cough "debates". Now they were epic.

It is very much about the quality of the Wii U, specifically about one title that is now available. It pretty much seems the best game that has been released for Christmas.

And, any talk of which next-gen console to buy should include the WiiU as well, and certainly just because it isn't in the OP doesn't mean relevant consoles shouldn't be discussed in the context of the OP. Some posters here seem to take an awful lot of things very very personal. I got trashed here for suggesting a console agnostic pov and advocating that the games should, ideally, direct console purchases. I was accused of having the opinion because I couldn't afford the PS4 at one point, and foolishly fed into the nonsense by defending myself, when I should have just ignored the loser. I don't know why people get their knickers in a knot over this. I am certainly not suggesting either the PS4 or Xbox One, or the Wii U for that matter, is a poor machine, but there seems to be a number of regulars here who are quite content to fill their time posting that type of thing, basing it on manufacturer stats and first run games, rather than learning the lessons of history and understanding the best is yet to come on all the current new formats. And, what exactly is a "Smug Fanboy of neutrality with a polarity"? I mean, where does the smug come in? Because someone is console neutral but has a long standing affinity for one particular manufacturer? It's the exact opposite of a fanboy, the statement manages to be both self-contradictory and insulting, the latter I'd say was the idea.

Specs are only a part of it. The thread doesn't say "Which console has the best specs! Vote here!" It asks for peoples preference. And a debate on personal preference is never won or lost.

And when you do, you have to manually turn on voice chat yourself every single time. Awful They have said they are aware of the problem and so on but.....rushed or not, it shouldn't have been released like that in the first place.
