With the Xbox one and Ps4 making the holiday push which are you looking forward to opening on Christmas morning?

Below is a side by side specs comparison and later this year we can expect to see side by side hands on comparisons which I personally look forward to.

Been an XBox man since it was released. Seeing the comparison, nothing screams to me that I need to buy the PS4 over the One.

Its safe to say Playstation and xbox loyalists, most are happy with their camps and will likely stay. The key is who can grab those who are not loyal and who can make people jump ship?

It will be an interesting topic. I am waiting to see what Sony can do with sports because right now Microsoft have football fans salivating.

Will Xbox have a mobile app where you can carry on with your game on your phone? I haven't heard...my son is a play station junkie...I keep hearing about this and that.....geeez...

I'm basically the same, but in the Sony camp

I had a 360 for a few months, but ended up selling it. I think for me it comes down to PSN being free and more importantly, the exclusives. IMO, Playstation exclusives blow away the 360 exclusives.

I used to be a Nintendo gamer and was going to buy Wii u but saw that the reviews weren't great so I asked my brother if he would save his ps3 for me and the games for it. I do have a Nintendo 3DS that I enjoy playing. I heard that you can't play ps3 games on ps4 due to the lack of backwards compatibility. I think Sony made a mistake there
