PS4 Vs Xbox One: Why The Xbox One Is The Smart Choice

Kyle, that poll is fine, but let it run in 1 year and things will look completely differently. Smart money buys the Xbox and stays away from PS4. It’s a waste of money unless you’re planning to buy both consoles anyway. Xbox is the far superior media system and Sony does not have the finances to support the console in the way MSFT does. Microsoft can afford to lose money on its console (trust me, even at this price their margin will be really low)

I also wouldn’t be surprised to see a few policy changes eventually e.g. a region lock is easy to remove via firmware upgrade for example

Yes, they may have lost the E3 polls, but in a few year it won’t matter. History will repeat itself

Nick, you have valid points and yes it’s very biased but that was exactly my point and my intention. I know the companies behind the products very well.

Sony is poorly managed while Microsoft has better teams with better quality assurance and a lot higher budgets. Sony once was once Asia’s top brand, now I would think twice before investing into Sony products. Microsoft is really slow with adoption, but Sony is even slower and completely missed most tech trends of recent years and now are struggling. This E3 proves they are in a desperate situation

Right now everyone is boasting that the PS4 is so great, while in reality Sony simply used Microsoft’s policies against them to make them look bad. In 1 year things will look differently. Both companies will lose money on the consoles, but Sony can’t afford it, so they will soon be underwater and can’t invest as much as MSFT does. Sony does not have an Excel or Windows that constantly brings in cash. Sure, they have their James Bond license and a good 4k TV lineup – but the TV competition is tough and they will not make much money there either.

My conclusion is that Sony will not be able to support their console as well as Microsoft can.
