I have 5 good reasons why you should get an XB1 over a PS4. Keep in mind, I'm not an xbox "fanboy". I'm merely showing support for the console I'm getting. I am not expecting you to change your mind on anything just from reading this. I just wanted to give you 5 good reasons to buy an XB1 over a PS4 in my opinion. You won't agree with all of this, and you might think it's bad or don't like it. That's fine, feel free to comment that. Just don't get all mad and name-calling for no reason please.

Here we go. 5 reasons I think XB1 will be better than PS4. No particular order.

5. Cloud.
The cloud. Cloud is an amazing new piece of technology/software that WILL change our gaming experience. One good example of this, as Microsoft has stated, is the ever changing worlds. Let's say the next elder scrolls comes out on XB1. Imagine a world that changes over night. It's hard to put into words, but just imagine a vast world that is literally like a real world. It changes over time, with or without you playing it. Also, bots and AI's can learn to play like your real friends. Of course Sony has cloud-like programs, like Gaiki, but Microsoft has the capabilities to utilize it in a way I THINK Sony cannot. There are MANY more things cloud can do, but that is just the jist. So, so much more.

4. Security/Servers
This one is going to cause a lot of hate on me. But let's be real, Sony did get hacked on the PS3. That was due to their free PSN. Now they are switching to be paid. But no matter how many people switch, it will be a long process to get enough money to get the amount of servers XB1 has. Xbox 360 had paid servers, which is why the 360 is a VERY secure device. Now, they have money left from the 8 or so years of 360's lifespan. Now they have 300,000 (and growing servers). This means more security, less lag, and more games. Sony also has a good amount of servers, but nowhere near that many. I'm not saying PS4 will get hacked/shut down again, but it would probably happen to them before xbox one. Just an opinion.

3. Games.
This one is really a matter of opinion. Xbox One has a good starting line-up, including a possible blockbuster called Titanfall. But, I'm sure we all know the launch games for both consoles. Now, that could be enough to get someone to buy the XB1. But Microsoft also has the money to get more games, and more exclusives. Like it or not, Microsoft is bigger than Sony. I never said better, but bigger. They have more money to spend on exclusives, titles, originals,timed dlc, better content, etc. So in the future, we could see better and more games coming to XB1 than the PS4.

2. Overheating
PS4's main launch problem was overheating. A lot of people reported hot devices that would brick or fail. Xbox One will have launch problems come that time - but I can ALMOST bet overheating won't be one. Microsoft made sure of that in the design. Around 40% is probably vents, along with huge internal fans and an external power brick. Seems as if they learned from the 360's horrid RROD. But PS4 decided to compact an internal power brick into a smaller console with less fans and openings, and therefore caused an overheating problem. Keep in mind, though, the One will have it's own set of problems. But I can almost promise you their overheating reports won't be as bad as PS4s.

1. Kinect
Here we go. XB1's biggest, and most controversial, feature. Kinect 2.0. Now, from what we've seen and some hands-on consumer reports, the second integration of kinect is much better and really good. From scanning your face to recognizing heartbeat and expressions, the kinect is a very amazing piece of equipment. And it's what the one is built around. Like it or not, you have to admit the kinect 2.0 is better than the eye in most ways. But until launch, we will have to see how great or bad it is. I think this will be one of the one's launch problems. People overselling it. But, nonetheless, kinect is bringing the future of gaming. Snapping apps and such, it will change the way we game and what we can do. It will lead to the future of gaming.

Bonus: Features
App "snapping" picture-in-picture
Skype
integrated TV that you can use all in one console
Can use external recording devices
Xbox Live servers
Exclusive apps


I could go on, but I think you get the point. I'm not saying XB1 is better, and that PS4 is bad. I'm just giving you 5 good, personal, reasons the One will be better than PS4. There are any good reasons the PS4 is better. But these are just from the one's side.

Nice post man! You stated and backed up your opinions without having to resort to petty fanboyish arguments! I was already intending on getting the xbox1 but this post helps me feel like I won't be wasting the extra money spent on this system as opposed to the ps4

This is a good post. Everything is true and backed up.

I would like to add that the controller is another big reason that I'm getting the Xbox One over the PS4.

They both have their ups and downs. Both may be great consoles, but I don't think it is fair to say which one is better
