The PlayStation 4: A Console That Didn't Meet Expectations

For one individual, the PlayStation 4 was a console that didn't quite live up to expectations. As an Xbox fan since the original Xbox, this person had high hopes for the PS4's ability to provide a seamless entertainment experience. They noted that the PS4's inability to integrate all their entertainment into one place was a major drawback.

The Xbox One: A Choice That Couldn't Be Beat

On the other hand, there's another individual who has been waiting for what feels like six years for the Xbox One. This person had been eagerly anticipating the console's release and is thrilled to finally have it in their hands. They expressed excitement about the new technology being introduced into the home, which they feel is truly amazing.

A Comparison of Graphics Quality

When discussing the graphics quality of the two consoles, there was a noticeable difference. The PS4, at launch, wasn't running at 1080p and was instead glitching and lagging at 10 frames per second. In contrast, the Xbox One's graphics were smoother and more stable. However, this individual didn't seem too concerned about the resolution, stating that they wouldn't notice the difference on a small screen.

The Case for Lower Resolution

This person also noted that they were not a fan of high-resolution graphics and believed that 720p was sufficient. They pointed out that games like Dead Rising 3, which ran at 720p with only 30 frames per second, had been playing on lower-powered hardware for seven years without any complaints.

A Matter of Resolution vs. Quality

When asked about the difference between resolution and quality, this individual noted that some people may be more concerned about the former than the latter. They believed that resolution was not as important as it seemed to be, especially considering that many games are now played on lower-resolution displays.

The Price Tag: Not a Concern for This Individual

Despite the Xbox One being more expensive than the PS4, this individual didn't seem too concerned about the price difference. They believed that you got what you paid for and that the benefits of the Xbox One outweighed the additional cost.

A Question of Loyalty

Ultimately, this individual's decision to choose an Xbox over a PS4 was one of loyalty. As they had always been an Xbox player since the original Xbox, they didn't want to start over with a new console. They wanted to stick with what they knew and loved, which is why the Xbox One was the clear choice.

Moral Support: A Console Swap

In a surprising twist, this individual revealed that they would be "stealing" the Xbox One from their roommate since they live together. However, it's worth noting that this is just a matter of moral support, as neither party plans to actually purchase a console.

A Final Answer: The Xbox for This Individual

When asked what console this individual would choose if they were buying one, the answer was clear: the Xbox. They expressed their love for games like Gears and Halo, which are exclusive to the Xbox, and stated that loyalty was the main reason for their choice.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay guys we're down here at the Xbox One launch here in Portsmouth and there's actually a reasonable amount of people here I'm not sure how well we can see but unfortunately some people are now having to stand outside the console is of course £430 and these people are all willing to pay for it but let's go and ask them what they think about it why they're buying it and why they're here on the midnight launch okay so you're here obviously for the Xbox One launch uh what is it about the Xbox one that's actually made you come down here to to buy it and to buy it at midnight as opposed to waiting and pre-ordering it like a lot of other people have um just cuz we'll get out of the way but tomorrow off work so couple days set up really in it okay what games are you going to be playing tomorrow when oh well tonight got rise Battlefield FIFA Call of Duty and uh the zombie one Dead Rising 3 so Forza and Battlefield and obviously FIFA that comes with the console I would have picked that up but it comes with it so uh I'm getting for a five and think about Call of Duty well I played um I mean I played play I played Battlefield 4 already on the Xbox I'm just waiting for the graphics cuz the the the the Improvement on Graphics is just ridiculous on the new console um I'll play Titanfall probably the most fun game I've ever played um I'm a huge Halo fan but this is getting up there to one of my favorite games and I only played three levels of it um Cod is getting a bit dead now they they're trying to playay I don't know what they're trying to do but then it's not working they they're slowly dying um rise I played rise already and I loved the graphics it's just I mean admittedly there's only a 2hour 3- hour game play but I don't really think you should penalize a stunning game and really good three-hour gaml than a 8 Hour dead boring game what is it about the PlayStation 4 that kind of deterred you from it as opposed to obviously the Xbox which you're here today to buy uh always been a fan of the Xbox since the 360 really in the original Xbox so just thought why not carry it on uh well being better than PlayStation just in everything uh probably how it brings all your entertainment to one place I think uh and just the voice just I don't know they've just they've done a really good job doing it integrating everything into it um I've been looking at this for I've been waiting for this for about six years uh properly properly excited for about two um it's just it's brand new technology being introduced into the home and it's it's amazing uh mainly because obvious being a Xbox player try to keep my game of scor to be honest uh Playstation 4 just doesn't match up for me it's the games aren't as good as when they do get released um I've been an Xbox fan now for five six seven years I think nothing will make me go back to the PlayStation what do you think about the fact that some of the games are running at a lower resolution and arguably uh lower quality on the Xbox one as opposed to the PlayStation 4 obviously that hasn't affected your buying decision do you think it matters at all no not really I think 720 is not too bad I mean I think it gives the developer space to improve stuff in the future so they know they've got a base to work on and now we know what the Improvement is going to be uh not so much cuz I kind of see this as the beginning of it so hopefully as more developers get used to the technology the games will improve so well else they may not be as good now hopefully when developers get used to technology they'll get better in the future no not all I work in the design industry and the difference between 900 and 1080p on a on a small screen is you won't see the difference you only see the difference when you're on like ridiculously like a cinema scale you won't tell the difference um I personally think I mean I was looking at the PlayStation launch and even the PlayStation 4 wasn't running at 1080p it was glitching it was lagging it was 10 five frames a second see I'm I'm very against resolution I mean I'm all about graphics but if you got a stunning 9 900p or a glitchy 1080P or 10900 any day just uh what do you think then about Dead Rising 3 running at 720p 30 FPS I'm not really a Dead Rising fan but I mean 360's been playing 720 for seven years but no one's really been complaining don't you think we should be moving on a bit I mean yes or no I mean son just brought out a 4K television they don't need it I mean nothing is even shot in 4k these days there it's not it's it's not about moving on it's about what we have nowadays I mean how many um like a lot of a lot of games are now played on 720 ptvs um I mean I I have tons of friends who play on a 23in screen you're not going to tell the difference between the two I working in the industry I know that for a fact and what do you actually think about the fact that the Xbox one is more expensive than the PlayStation 4 obviously that hasn't influenced your decision at all um do you think that makes that much difference uh I'm hoping it will pay off by the the team end that they promising no you get what you pay for simple as that no not really I think1 for The Connect really is all it is and I think that's really Justified for what you get for your money I think it's quite a worthwhile package really uh do you think the connect's going to be worth using do you think it's going to be something you'll use a lot of the time uh probably yeah have a go and see see what happens well I'm here for moral support weren't sure what the cues were going to be like I'm the big guy I suppose oh so you're not actually picking one up yourself no I'm going to be stealing his since we live together yeah if you were going to be buying a new console uh what one would you be buying um it would be the Xbox purely for the games I think okay uh stuff like gears and Halo always been a longtime fan so it's because I always been an Xbox player and don't want to like restart it again got all my M uh online so so it's it's about loyalty really then to the brand yeah mainly okay um well thank you very much
