Nah that shyt going in the bedroom (pause) room painted the same color with wood grain
Should I buy a PS4 or Xbox one when I get paid on Friday?

Breh, I downplayed the background music feature because nobody really brings that up anymore...it was a "cool" and novel concept maybe 14 years ago...that shyt is really
You're literally another side of the same coin talking about "clowns" when you're doing the same shyt. you're downplaying something because you don't care about it. That's pretty much what these discussions boil down to.
"You tried _____ out?"
"I don't care about that thing.. ____ Sucks man just stop."
Suddenly you don't care about background music when we know that was a big talking point last gen on Xbox 360. So background music while gaming uninterrupted on PS4 is not a big deal but HDMI IN port on XB1 is?? It's not a big deal that you have to lose screen real estate to play music while gaming on XB1 but on PS4 it working with Spotify seamlessly in the background is suddenly a? Am I reading correctly?
Maan,
I see you dudes have funny reading comprehension. The argument isn't TO TURN OFF THE XBOX, it's WHY SHOULD someone who is fine with a PS4 and has a cable box go out and buy a XB1 JUST for some HDMI in feature? You don't see how silly that sound? You think the average Joe is out here suffering because when he's done playing COD on PS4, those 1.5 seconds it takes him to switch inputs to cable will have him going out his way to buy an Xbox One just because of that??
I'm not downplaying HDMI IN, I'm downplaying the "severity" you guys make it out to be because of it's lack of inclusion on the PS4. Besides that, PS4 users have something close to not even needing cable TV with PS Vue which I hear is pretty good. Also besides that, Netflix, PS Vue, Hulu, HBO, Dish TV App. etc on PS4 too so I fail to see why this HDMI in port is such a big deal.
I'm sorry but it's not something I see that's so big that someone WITH a PS4 will just up and switch over to XB1 just because of that. These "features" are something worth considering when deciding on buying either one but if someone already has one, I SERIOUSLY doubt THAT will make someone go out and buy a console. At the end of the day, why do these multi console owners own both platforms for?? GAMES right?? I rest my case. AIn't NO ONE buying an Xbox One because they can watch cable through another box. It's literally icing on the cake.
Now exactly what is so clownish in this post?
You dudes are literally making up arguments that no one said.
these days. I don't hear anyone really making a big deal out of that, I never used it on the PS4 nor on the Vita. Furthermore, I consider this a video game related feature anyway...you really have no leg to stand on here. This shyt almost reminds me of the PS3 vs XBOX 360 debates in where I downplayed Blu-Ray, yet still preferred the PS3 over the XBOX 360 overall. Yes, its a feature, but optical media sales keep declining...that shyt really doesn't matter when there are other ways to acquire content. In the case of background music...I rather listen to the game background noises and soundtrack, I think the lack of interest in the gaming community overall should give you the answer right there. Bringing that shyt up as a "feature" in 2015 is like bringing up the fact that the xbox one has more USB ports in a way...who gives a shyt really?As far as the HDMI IN port. The fact is that it is an advantage and a significant one if you watch a lot of sports or TV on the regular and like the ability to quickly change between actions, snap to a quick message you receive, look something up quickly by going back to the dashboard, etc etc. You bringing up Netflix, Hulu, and everything else is irrelevant...the xbox one has those apps as well.
And this is where your insecurity goes to bite you...who is saying that a person is going to pick the XBOX One over a PS4 if they are just into gaming? The reason the XBOX One became my console of choice this gen was because of how everything else is tightly integrated over the PS4 and does next gen gaming as well. This entire thread was focused on the fact that the OP is a casual gamer...which is why the xbox one is a better option for him because of all the extra options and how tightly it is integrated into the system, especially if he gets the kinect. You and the other PS4 loyalists on here keep crying about a point that nobody in this thread is arguing. Yes, the majority of people who mostly play games and are focused on the games are going to prefer the PS4 as their main console of choice, but OP of this thread is a casual gamer.
What reading comprehension level do you guys have? It has to be low because I feel like I am just repeating myself over and over again. I talk about media features and one of you snap right back with the games argument...that's not the conversation in this thread

Compared to the PS4... Yes it is.
Honestly, PS4 is just a boring, plain console with boring, plain exclusives
Paying to stream old PS games
But you are right, it's my preference. I prefer to play Titanfall, Forza, Gears, Evolve, Halo, and then get free games with Gold every month while having a better online experience with MP games
I also enjoy voice control..
I enjoy the more apps...
I enjoy the fact that I can do more customization with the background
Now there's soon to be backwards compatibility
I do like the PS4 though for RPG's.. Like I said before. Playroom is cool when chatting and etc but just doesn't do as much
So you only play shooters but you think you can talk about games?
Most of the people you're arguing with don't even own an Xbox One. At best they've used it over somebody else's house.Are you saying that it's nicer and easier to navigate through all those options on the xbox one compared to the PS4?
I thought I was out of my mind considering all the defending some cats on here are doing when I tell them that the PS4 OS doesn't even compare when it comes to everything outside of gaming.
I was one of the largest critics of the Xbox One on this site before I actually owned one. Especially of Kinect. Now I'm probably one of it's biggest defenders and I'm not even an Xbox Fanboy I'm a PlayStation fan.
I am in the same boat you are, but these guys in here are straight up delusional or refusing to accept that another console just handles certain things better. I slammed the xbox one pretty hard upon release and still think the PS4 is the better gaming platform, but for everything else it's no contest IMO.
This is coming from someone who has preferred the PlayStation brand when it comes to gaming over the console competition since I was 11 years old.

It was a cool and novel concept years ago and yet it's missing TODAY on a console like Xbox One. It's pretty shytty tbh. It's like if Bluray playback was missing on PS4, you think that'd be a "oh well"?Breh, I downplayed the background music feature because nobody really brings that up anymore...it was a "cool" and novel concept maybe 14 years ago...that shyt is really
You don't know what people are talking about if it's not brought online here. Just because you don't "hear" about something doesn't mean it's not going on. I'm sure plenty of people use it and don't talk about it because it's a common feature that's strangely missing. When I tried to take a screenshot on Xbox One months ago, it wasn't there. Sure that's not a deal breaker but really it wasn't there. That was kind of weird.As for Bluray.. that point about it being in decline is for movies and shyt. Gaming wise, bluray ain't falling. The only data I'm sure that's out there supporting this decline is data that combines Digital games, digital only games and DLC while physical games bought used aren't accounted for. Nobody is giving up bluray disc gaming on consoles breh.
It is not a significant one because you're creating one of those "as seen on TV" situations that aren't real. nikkas really sitting there watching a basketball game, getting messages by the dozens and switching back and forth between the two on the daily?? It's like when nikkas like "Man I came home and had my hand on my girls ass, one hand holding a Mcdonalds bag and I said "Xbox ON!" Like really breh??
Who was talking about picking XB1 over PS2 if they are JUST into gaming?? I said if they ALREADY have one console, they most likely aren't going to pick up another one just for something like HDMI or shareplay or whatnot. And the casual gamer argument is BS because I know plenty of "casual" gamers who bought a PS4 over an Xbox One and they aren't into RPGS and whatnot. My brother uses his PS4 for the occasional Batman, Tomb Raider, TLOU or Watchdogs and watches movies, and videos on PS4 all day and he has a cable box. He's nowhere near a hardcore gamer. My other cousin is as casual as it gets. All this guy plays no PS4 is GTA and Fifa and Uncharted yet he swears by PS4. He watches lots of TV too and he has no problem with the PS4 not having HDMI IN despite cable TV being a big thing for him. This "casuals like Xbox" thing is blown outta proportion.
See point above.
You STILL haven't understood my point omg lol. I just pointed out that media features alone aren't scarce on PS4 and that it's just as good on PS4. This HDMI IN feature is severely overrated because I never seen someone who is so casual not have a PS4. I know so many casuals who own PS4's and yet not Xboxes despite them using PS4 for media related purposes. The "games' argument wasn't directed at you. And y'all need to stop with the "PS4 loyalist" crap. I've recommended Xbox One to several brehs on here plenty of times. I have the posts to back them up right here.What reading comprehension level do you guys have? It has to be low because I feel like I am just repeating myself over and over again.

No I don't see what you did there. There's lag on every console and game. You idiots really believe this "XBL is perfect" nonsense and perceive anything that goes wrong on PS4 online gaming as a PSN problem whereas the same things happening on Xbox is chocked up to a isolated incident from a "laggy player".
Breh stop it. The "I loved PS since___" point is so corny. Last gen, I didn't get a PS3 until 2010. I HATED PS3 and HATED Uncharted before having one. I fukked with a Xbox 360 since the blade OS days and was modding Xbox 360's weekly. I still have a ihas drive in my PC and I have the hitachi music cd here somewhere. There's absolutely no delusion here breh. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of you dudes. You hype up one feature and downplay another and when presented with an argument, downplay the point by saying "This is better than that because for ME.." as if that's not the whole point.
I used to go to work and on my lunch break would stream my PS4 to my Vita and be gaming miles away with little to no lag. That's a big feature. Now when I bring that up, you retort with "Man I don't want ANY LAG that feature sucks, besides I don't game off my TV!" I'd start up installations and downloads through the PS App and be ready to play at home. I also found the shareplay feature incredibly fun. I used it with a friend to beat Until Dawn recently. That same feature is missing on Xbox One. Now to you that's probably not a big deal but to some it is. Just call a spade a spade. Xbox doesn't "do" things better. It does things "differently." The things I do on PS4 can't be done on PS4 and vice versa.
1 - fukk Blu-Ray, it is an added liability and offers literally ZERO benefit if you don't trade your games in often. Last gen I could see the argument at least be relevant because of internet connections and very small hard drives. I wish both consoles offered a blu-ray less option tbh, I would swap both of them in today if I could.It was a cool and novel concept years ago and yet it's missing TODAY on a console like Xbox One.

2 - No...nobody cares about background music in video games in 2015. That shyt was only ever really a cool feature in racing games, but not in much more cases than that tbh. The last time I used that kind of feature was for Project Gotham Racing...in like 2003. It's a feature...a gaming feature.
3 - I am not creating a damn thing, I am telling you that the option is there. My girl usually does her own thing after we finish watching tv and soon after I just have to say "XBOX, Go to Titanfall" and it is right there. I CANNOT do that on the PS4, you have NO COUNTER to this argument...stop bringing it up already. It makes you look even more insecure than you already are.
4 - And that's the point, junior. The OP does NOT have one...all these gymnastics you are doing is silly as fukk. The media options are NOT on the same level and pretty much the consensus agrees with what I am saying.
We basically broke it down like this:
If you are focused on games first - Get a PS4
If you are a casual gamer, but likes to play games as well - Get an xbox one
This shyt is so silly that I was tempted to lock it, but maybe some can get a clue as to what console to pick based on THEIR needs and not the needs of @Fatboi1 or @ORDER_66
It's not corny at all, its simply stating the fact that I can view these things objectively. You clearly can't. The XBOX One does media better, pretty much no argument tbh. You know why you have no argument? Because you keep bringing up gaming features to try to counter. The only better option out of the box when it comes to media without any hacking is a full blown out HTPC which the OP has not mentioned that he is interested in. @winb83 pretty much hit it on the head with his post, most of you claiming otherwise don't even own the XBOX One so it is easy to not see what kind of benefits there are overall to your entertainment setup with the XBONE over the PS4.
ANYTHING you want to do on your entertainment setup is pretty much right at your disposal with the xbox one with kinect, you simply CANNOT say that on the PS4. This is my last post about this ridiculously simple argument.
The PS4 and Vita point you made is another great gaming feature. You continue to make the same mistake over and over again.
1 - fukk Blu-Ray, it is an added liability and offers literally ZERO benefit if you don't trade your games in often. Last gen I could see the argument at least be relevant because of internet connections and very small hard drives. I wish both consoles offered a blu-ray less option tbh, I would swap both of them in today if I could.
I don't want to buy a game and then suddenly lose access to my games in the situation that some account banning or whatnot happens. This is what happened with my Bro's PS4. he got banned on PSN because of a mistake(long story I called Sony thinking I got scammed but he used my card by accident).
2 - No...nobody cares about background music in video games in 2015. That shyt was only ever really a cool feature in racing games, but not in much more cases than that tbh. The last time I used that kind of feature was for Project Gotham Racing...in like 2003. It's a feature...a gaming feature.
Anecdotal. Plenty of people use it. You not caring about it doesn't mean the world doesn't.
3 - I am not creating a damn thing, I am telling you that the option is there. My girl usually does her own thing after we finish watching tv and soon after I just have to say "XBOX, Go to Titanfall" and it is right there. I CANNOT do that on the PS4, you have NO COUNTER to this argument...stop bringing it up already. It makes you look even more insecure than you already are.
Are you serious?? My brother is watching youtube on PS4 right now. If he's done and I wanted to say play a game on his PS4.. you realize a double tap of the PS button brings me right back the menu and whatever game is running can be selected and will instantly be loaded up since it has instant resume/standby right?
I'm on my PC right now. If I press my PS4 controller PS button, without doing anything else, in seconds my PS4 will turn on and literally will be running at exactly where I left it off. You're talking about a press and forget situation. I press, a few seconds later I'm controlling my character in Bloodborne. I guess the sound of your own voice tickles your fancy eh?
4 - And that's the point, junior. The OP does NOT have one...all these gymnastics you are doing is silly as fukk. The media options are NOT on the same level and pretty much the consensus agrees with what I am saying.
What exactly can't the PS4 do media wise that he can do on Xbox One besides HDMI IN. Please tell me because you're literally the loudest nikka on here about media media but you've stated ZERO facts. You don't even prove the shyt you say. I guarantee you you don't have a thing to prove here.
We basically broke it down like this:
If you are focused on games first - Get a PS4
If you are a casual gamer, but likes to play games as well - Get an xbox one
That's dumb because like I said plenty of casuals are on PS4. Not every PS4 owner is some hardcore JRPG, PS4 exlusive gaming player.
This shyt is so silly that I was tempted to lock it, but maybe some can get a clue as to what console to pick based on THEIR needs and not the needs of @Fatboi1 or @ORDER_66
You want to lock a thread because someone has a different opinion?? This isn't even about the OP no more, it's just a discussion. As far as I'm concerned, there's no trolling or points being done here that aren't being backed up. You guys want to stifle communication at the sight of some perceived preference or disinterest. That's lame imo.
nikka, you said this?
I am in the same boat you are, but these guys in here are straight up delusional or refusing to accept that another console just handles certain things better.
Obviously this is opening up to other points besides blatantly media. Again, I ask you what are these media features that Xbox One does so much better that you have never named? You are literally telling people they need to buy an accessory that's pretty much unwanted to derive the best things out of a system whereas those same things can be done for free on PS4 such as voice commands and or buying accessories to connect your headphones to your controller??
I literally never see it. Please, point these things out to me because I want to know.
What about the "media" viewers who wear headphones?? What if I'm watching a movie at night and don't want to disturb people???
*Mouse shuffle*
Huh? Is that the sound of you pasting a link to the controller adapter for Xbox One on Amazon??
Please breh don't debate with me, you're killing me.
There's no point in pulling the "you don't own" card out because we live in the information age where info is at our fingertips. There is literally nothing that I cannot not know about simply because I don't own something. Is it impossible to know things without owning?? You gotta own a Intel to know it does certain things better than AMD?? Come on..
