Xbox One for me. First and foremost it has the better launch window line up of games for me.

The free copy of Fifa or Forza negates most of the price difference and Kinect could be useful eventually as it's in effect only costing £40 if you take the free games into account. Given Sony have said they are looking to add some kind of voice commands and motion tracking with the PS4 Eye thingamabob I'm more convinced we'll see it used cleverly (other than just jumping around) in mainstream games and I think the Kinect version is likely to be better, if only for voice commands, bio-feedback (are you scared?) and head tracking etc.

I prefer the Xbox controllers and although it sounds like PS4 has made progress so has Xbox and I've not seen anything to make me think I'd prefer the DS4.

Titanfall!

I'm intrigued by what cloud compute could bring to console gaming eventually and in the short term dedicated servers for all multiplayer games is a huge win for me.

Xbox Live. I like the environment and have plenty of friends I play regularly there going for XO so it's a bit of a no brainer tbh.

Smartglass second screen stuff looks interesting.

Despite PS4 being more powerful even Mark Cerny/Sony have said they expect it will take devs 3 years to get the most out of it. If by then I feel I'm missing out on exclusives or it's proving to be noticeably better than Xbox I'll pick up a PS4 "slim" for a couple of hundred quid funded by selling old XO games.

Titanfall! (I know I said it already, but seriously... ;) )

Like I said in a different thread, I still expect the PS4 to outsell XO by 2:1 at launch but I don't think you can really go wrong with either console. they're both a huge step forward from what we have now and it's good to see someone competing with Sony to push console gaming forwards. I hope they both do stonkingly well, genuine competition is all good for us as gamers."

PS4 :).

Pre ordered the PlayStation 4, one of each coloured controllers and the vertical stand, along with FIFA 14 :).
 
PS4 alone for me now. Was originally going to get both, but with Nintendo releasing a Zelda themed Wii U along with Wind Waker HD I can't justify buying a 3rd console (the Xbox One) in such a short amount of time. Will still get the Xbox One at some point as I tend to get all the consoles at some point or another.

I think it's a reflection of how badly Microsoft announced and handled the consoles announcement that on here, where the xbox 360 was hugely popular & given the popularity and bias towards Microsoft, is very telling.

I think Davey is going to keep doing this until the xbox wins, it would be easier to just cheat and change the poll tbh, as I don't understand why we keep having polls.
 
The reason for a third and final poll is to just reflect on the previous polls and see how far M$ have come having made the changes and announcements they have over the last couple of weeks.
 
Xbox for me based solely on line up. Nothing on PS4 tickles my fancy other the Planetside 2 and I've already played that a fair bit on PC.

I was actually thinking the same thing, it's clear Davey is on the MS side and equally I'm sure MS will gain some ground following their 180's on everything but doing a poll every few weeks is pretty pointless unless it makes him feel better.
 
I really don't know still, I was kinda made up I was going to get one until yesterday, then I realised I'd need a new monitor now too as it's HDMI only. It would take my spend to over a grand and there is nothing in either list that excites me, certainly not enough to pay RRP for the games at launch.

I'm sure I will get one of them in the window to march I just still don't know which one. I think having nothing that's a must have for me is actually a bonus as I swore I wouldn't buy at launch again after the shambles that was the 360 RROD. I can now wait for the sales figures to come in and also see how reliable they are.

When I have bought at launch I have rarely backed the right horse anyway :D
 
Definitely XBONE on launch day, pretty sure I'll also get a PS4 around or just after Xmas.

I have a PS4 pre-order much much guaranteed, but there's nothing at launch other than Drive Club that's an exclusive I fancy.
 
Ordered both on June 1st
I've done a lot of overtime to fund them & i hope all my hard work was worth it.
I've not preordered any games yet as my Wii U gets priority :)
 
Must say, the figures are looking a lot more balanced than before. Looks like Microsoft have done a good job getting people's interest back :p
 
Xbox One, total role reversal from myself on my original stance. The dedicated servers was a huge deciding factor for me, not to mention the games at launch appeal to me way more than the ones at present on PS4. Plus the fact we are getting Forza 5 for nothing is decent too. Roll on the 22nd November.
 
Lol another poll.

Are we to expect a poll sometime after the consoles have been released?

Which console do you now own?
