I would say the Kinect in terms of "tech" you get in the console is leaps ahead of just a slightly better graphics card.
If you want to talk about technical ability, the Kinect is one of the most advanced things.

With regards to Kinect its really not moved on that much compared to the previous gen. Slightly better graphics card? how about far better graphics card as thats what it is

And yes, I would prefer games to look better and become more immersed in them due to visuals than that wave my arms around :cool:

As much as I don't want Kinect you can't say its not moved on from last gen. It's vastly improved. Gameplay will immerse you in a game not graphics IMO.

True:

http://www.amd.com/uk/products/technologies/gcn/Pages/gcn-architecture.aspx

Also a quote from another article:

"The Xbox One has 768 GCN graphics cores. The PS4 has 1,152. The two consoles run at similar clockspeeds, so right from the get go, the PS4 has 50 per cent more raw shader power.
Then there's memory bandwith. The PS4 packs 8GB of GDDR5 running at 5.5GHz data rate and thus packs 176GB/s of bandwidth. The Xbox One? 8GB of DDR3 at 2.13GHz and thus just 68.33GB/s. Oh dear.
In mitigation, the Xbox does have 32MB of eSRAM offering another 102GB/s of bandwidth. But that's a misleading figure, since the eSRAM pool is very small compared to system memory. It certainly helps offset the PS4's bandwidth advantage. But an advantage it remains.
With all that in mind, there's no denying the PS4 is simply faster at rendering graphics. The end."

So yes, it's not a small advantage graphically as you stated. They will get much more performance from the PS4.

In fact, if your wanting to be in denial that that is totally fine

Enjoy.

It's really a combo for me, a great story, great graphics (eyefinity on PC optional

)

How do I figure out which console to go for?

I have no reason to chose an Xbox One over the PS4 or chose a PS4 over the Xbox one...

Very much this...

what you too poor to keep both consoles? I have both.

You also. Get a better job buy both.

But I love my job at Mc Donalds.

Strife212 · 24 Jan 2014 at 22:54

I've got both, I have barely touched the PS4 because it has no games. Killzone is balls, and all the other good games are out on PC.

Very true, but much more grunt enables you do a fair bit more, even if it's just more things happening simultaneously, better ai, better physics etc.

Makes obvious fanboy bait thread, asks for no fanboys to reply.... :rolleyes:

Get the Bone if you prefer the controller, MS exclusives & Kinect.
Get the PS4 is you want a DS4, Sony exclusives & a more powerful console.

If you have more money than sense buy both.

ricky1981 · 25 Jan 2014 at 01:35

Got both, still play on my Wii U more than both combined at the moment.

2 months after launch? Lol, never buy a console 2 months after launch based on a handful of average games. (I'm including both in that.)

The op says he was getting "connection lost" errors. Weird, I've never had one. It's Live that's a mess at the minute and getting a complete re-write of the code.

Awesome, the additional power of the PS4 should add some great gameplay elements due to the abundance of compute available.

Glad I paid less for all that extra potential gameplay.

Seriously, the "gameplay" argument is very weak. If you value gameplay you go for the more powerful machine as it potentially can enable more AI, physics, graphics, sound, etc etc.
