^Aren't you playing DA Inquisition on a PC? Your PC is probably more "next-gen" than either of these consoles though. :lol:

Absolutely not...you did research based on your needs...

OP's only criteria was cheapest price so his needs are already different than yours. I'm sure if someone asked "Which console has the highest res games", there would be no argument that the PS4 wins.

People get so defensive/passionate about gaming decisions it's pretty funny...if only people put that much passion in their daily lives.

Not heated, just this topic comes up way too often and it's annoying for the boards.

Also, you're in the wrong area, we have a dedicated Black Friday forum.

The best part? You knew which system was the cheapest. It's the system that isn't selling, so this whole thread is a waste as it's only based on price.

This type of argument has been made countless times before. You're buying it for yourself, so buy the one that YOU want and which is going to make you happier.

If you aren't really sure which one you want, buy it from a place like Futureshop, where you can return the console if you don't like it.

You can go cheapest and it's likely you're going to score an XBone. Of course it's cheap for a reason and you will certainly get what you pay for it. I hope you're not the type that has buyer's remorse. Can't help you with that.

My current console line up is:
XBox 360
XBox One
PS3
Wii U
2 x 3DS XL
PC

My PS3 and Wii U are dust collectors - I hardly play them at all.

I do however spend all my time on the Xb1. It's not without issues, I personally hate the UI/navigation that they've implemented. It's clumsy compared to what I used with the 360. The Kinect is nice - not for games but for media: I can mute/volume control/navigate with voice commands. It seems like it has a 95% success rate when I use commands. It's great for going through Netflix or Plex without having to find your controller/remote.

I saw a post once comparing the PS4 to the XB1:
The PS4 is a gaming system that also plays media.
The XB1 is a media system that also plays games.

XBone is a piece of garbage. UI is just like the failed Windows 8, online community is full of kids with language, installation+download takes hours just for a simple game, and most of all, it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay underperformed.

4K TV is becoming mainstream and something called "Next Gen" console can't output 1080p? Are you kidding me?

I went to my friend's house, saw PS4, and immediately switched to PS4. If you can't see the difference in graphics and performance, you need some glasses. I'd rather get the cheap xbox360. It bring the same performance as XBone. gg.

The OP asked a simple question and he got some really great answers. :twisted: Bet he still cannot decide.

Not sure you realize, but this post is essentially the exactly same thing you posted earlier in this same thread.

But it you were to drop an Xbox One from 15 feet above, you'd still be able to play games...take that PS4! :lol:
