i had a PS2 loved it, when i came to buy the replacement i spoke to the guy in the shop and he basically said, PS3 was better, but Xbox had the better games. so i swapped over. have to say i prefer the xbox controller to the PS controller. i think the only swaying factor maybe what do all my mates go and buy. theres no point having a PS4 if all my mates have xbox, as i'll be a billy no mates.
it frustrates me as alot of my uni mates are PS based, and other friend groups are xbox based. i'd like to play games against both friends groups without the need to own both games consoles.
if both have similiar architecture, whats the likelyhood you could play across both platforms? thats the move they should be making,
