I can honestly say that the PS4 vs XBOX1 choice is one of the hardest purchasing decisions I have had to make so far.
its so tough,
The PS4 has everthing going for it:
Price, Spec, Looks, Policy, The attitude of the company that make it.
But there are two things that stop it form being a done deal,
The controller for me, Is just wrong. It is effectively the same design in basic form as a PS1 Dualshock, A controller I didn't like when it was new around 17 years ago....
Now I know its a subject that divides opinion, Certainly I can understand it had its fans (In the PS2 era I can get it anyway). But beyond then, to me, its dated and motion capture or no its the only way you actually interact with the console.
This is something which is compounded by the fact that to me the XBOX1 pad looks fantastic
Secondly the other thing in its way is Forza. I spent at least 50% of the xbox 360's lifecycle playing a Forza title. So to ignore it is stupid? How can I NOT buy one of my favourite titles again?
I would like to settle for GT but ultimately Forza IS my favourite racing game.
The above points make it seem like its the XBOX1 then, But I honestly feel like I cannot give MS my money, The way they are treating the consumer is just moronic. But really, I just feel bad for Turn 10.
If Forza was on the PS4 I could get over the controller thing.
ARGHHHHH THIS IS SO DIFFICULT AND UNNECESSARILY LABOUROUS A DECISION!!!!
I apoligise for the brain dump but seriously. MS. WTF?
And there is no way i'm buying both. Just No.
