"PS4 sold more because it was cheaper".
Way off, PS4 sold more because at launch it allowed people to play disc games offline and allowed used games / lend to friends.
People seem to forget the disaster that was the Xbox One launch, always online, no used games. They had to remove all that crap because gamers were enraged.
E3 2013 was epic for Sony:
I'm not saying Xbox One is shit, it's not. I actually plan to get one eventually, but don't spread FUD. PS4 has loads of games, in fact I keep getting free games due to my subscription to PS+
- PS4 also has the better GPU, most Xbox Ones games are struggling to reach 1080pernexbcn
- he seems to be brainwashed by microsoft... shame he didnt see sense like many xbots...cruddlebub

We might not agree on Russia Cygnus but this line is gold
"PS4 is good if you like sales, the X1 is good if you like games"He's right, PS4 has sold loads of units in the begining, but they still have not had a Titanfall scale exclusive yet. And just wait till Halo hits.
Microsoft have way too much money to loose this battle. And hate it or love it, Minecraft has a huge following, they were smart to buy that franchise.
- not a franchise, and not smart buying it for over 2bnelektro

A lot of blind Sony fanboyism goes on here at QBN. People want to believe that they spent their money on the best possible thing, so they champion for the thing that they bought. It's video games guys, a hobby, something to take your mind off your day. Buy whatever console you want and enjoy it because "you" enjoy it, not because a flow chart or sales tell you to.
- Exactly, I had PS3, 360 and Wii and can honestly say the 360 and Wii got played more than the PS3sem
- But at the end of the day, our opinions don't matter to anyone else. Its personal preference.sem
- Sony fans do have to justify a lot to themselves though, I mean...PS Vita...what was that?!sem
- I don't think it's sony fanboys, but game enthusiasts.Miguex
- but Xbox has more games lolsem

A lot of Sony fags in here. Herp derp I gotta betta cpu than U!!! Orly, why doesnt it have any games worth playing? This year its getting LBP and Driveclub. Going against FH2, the new INSOMNIAC game, oh and 4 HAalo games! And for the same price the X1 does far more. Hmmmm which console to buy, tough decision.
Ive been waiting for either of these companies to sell me on their machine. Sony failed the PS Bore is worthless. I would be bored out of my fucking mind if I settled on that. Gonna get the Sunset Overdrive white bundle.
Price means everything. All the nerds talked about the PS3 being stronger, and it was outsold by the 360 for 38 straight months. Well if the PS3 was actually better, how was this possible for MS? It was cheaper. Well, the PS4 was cheaper for many months. That lead sure as fuck had nothing to do with games. The PS4 Bore's exclusive lineup is atrocious all the way until holiday 2015.
For a kid I would recommend the original Wii. For an adult the X1. Unless you care about sales instead of games, then get the PS4 LOL

Go to somewhere like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/sy… and configure a base-level machine. Get it without Windows installed, then install Linux on it.
About the same price as an XBOne or a PS4
Then install Minecraft and a boatload of free creative software like GIMP (shit, compared to PS, etc, but still, for kids?) and then get Steam installed so you can access a wealth of Linux games.
Give them something they can tinker with, should they want to. Something they can peer into and prod and try and get a feel for what it actually IS.
Consoles are .. less than great for kids, imho.
I've felt this ever since I was a kid, I'm not just getting old!
- I think you can even idiot-proof the interface too, just limit them to games easily for the moment.detritus
- Not calling your kids idiots, by the way!detritus
- Although they're kids, so of course they are. All kids are idiots. All of them.detritus
- i was going to suggest a gaming pc... but it all got a bit heated in here.cruddlebub
- DON'T MENTION PC!!!! lol jk PC wins every time.sem

Or just get a Wii.

PS4 has currently sold over double the Xbox One, I'd keep that in mind that in a years time some games wont be being released on both platforms if that trend continues.
- because sales matter to 3 year olds. lmao idiotCygnusZero4

do you mean the ps is better?
- fadein110
Just buy a 2nd hand Wii for kids of that age - PS and Xbox not really that demographic.
- All kids love Wii and cheap as chips now. The old one I mean.fadein11
- true... but minecraft isn't on the wii. i have a ps4 and my 6 year old LOVES playing minecraft on it.cruddlebub

The PS4 is a better system than the Xbox One technically, it's a much higher build quality, stronger graphics hardware, Controllers have rechargeable batteries as standard, no stupid power brick hanging off the back.
All comes down to games though, if you're 5 yr old likes Minecraft then keep in mind Minecraft 2 will be an Xbox exclusive (They're betting the whole system on this basically) but that wont be out for at least a year or maybe two seen as Mojang were not developing it yet. Although Minecraft is currently available on both platforms.
Wii is great for kids too if they're into Mario, if they're not then there isn't much else on the system for them.
- Microsoft have more money for dev's and will always end up with more games like last time.sem
- Plus you forgot Halo series, Titanfall , Rise of the Tomb Raider etc over Minecraft.sem
- ps have some really strong exclusives... uncharted series for one is incredible as is the last of us.cruddlebub

Go to CEX and get a Wii, great for the kids and cheap as chips. If they don't like it then think about spending proper money on a new console. Wii's are great though.
