I currently own a 360 and play a game every now and then throughout the year until winter comes around. When winter hits, I have more chances to play. With this being the case soon, Ive been looking at buying either a PS4 or a Xbox 1 but can not decide which one to go with. I play shooting and racing games only. Which would would you all recommend to go with? They are about the same price. Go with whatever your friends have. If that doesn't matter, I'd say PS4 personally - there's so many more of them out in the wild than the XB1 that it has become the defacto lead development console this generation. When the X1 was cheaper it was a tougher choice, but at the same price I'd put the PS4 out front. But you would be fine with either. Both have plenty of racing games and FPS titles. |

The controller will also be more familiar to you than that of the PS4. As is the xbox live service. As for shooting an racing games Xbox has Forza 6 and Halo 5 out right now. You can also pick up the halo master chief collection which has halo 1,2,3 and 4. There are some crazy promotions for the Xbox 1 right now which make it cheaper than the PS4. |

MP might be better, though. I am really liking that "Elite" customizable input mapping controller (which works on PC), & am kind of a "Gears of War" head, so that has me Jones'en for an elite bundle just a little, but I'm still on the fence. Not sure what to think of the PS4 controller, & need to try it out. I'm kind of hoping Sony puts out a similar controller with programmable inputs. PS4 visuals seem to be universally better. MSFT really missed the strategy boat not going with a higher performance GPU & throwing down a hard-line policy. |

I have both, but prefer the PS4.
In reviews, the PS4 usually gets a slight nod in the graphics and FpS department. IMO, ps4 is more game-centric, while XbOne is more of a media center,but both can do either just fine. Keep in mind, XBOne backwards compatibility wil be for a limited number of games. |

ETA: Halo 5 sucks. get the Xbox one, despite the naysayers, Halo 5 is awesome, if you are reminiscent of the old Halo 3 multiplayer controls and none of the stupid perk systems that they have in all the new call of duty games. I haven't played Xbox this much since Halo 3 multiplayer, the storyline in Halo 5 is a buildup to the upcoming Halo games, so it is short and has a lot of info missing that will show up in the later games. but the multiplayer is awesome! |

First and foremost, I agree with "get what your friends have".
That said: I prefer Xbox One... I like the controllers better (especially the triggers for shooters), I like the menu interface better, I like most of the exclusive titles better etc. I've always liked the xbox consoles better than PS2, PS3, etc. especially because of the controllers. And while, I do mostly use it for gaming, if you get an Xbox One all hooked up with your entertainment system (TV, antenna, surround sound) and Kinect it is pretty slick... Being able to just shout "xbox, watch NBC!", "xbox volume up" from the kitchen while I'm making popcorn and then walk to the couch with the game ready to start still makes me giggle. |

There is no choice with the ps4/xbox 1, All games are copied from the disk to the HDD. The disk is just used to verify you still own the game after that. |

My advice would be get a PC... I played on consoles until last year and seriously regret not starting earlier.
Of the two I would get a PS4, I own a Xbox ONE and hate everything about it, the UI sucks compared to the 360 and it constantly has disk read errors when trying to watch Blu-Ray movies (the only thing I use it for) |

It generally breaks the direction that your friends went.
But in the event of a tie... there are a LOT more PS4's out there than XB1's. And the PS4 is generally considered to be the more powerful machine. |

So here's my question, I live in the middle of nowhere and have to use Verizon Wi-Fi. Thus, I have a limited bandwidth. On my 360, it's good enough for me to get online and play call of duty. I just have to be careful with what I download.
Will the Xbox one eat up my data? Is ps4 friendlier? |

Whether it is for game updates or OS/system updates. The X1 does have a way to track data usage (http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/network-settings) but between all the updates required for these new consoles and the increased bandwidth needed for MP gaming, neither console seems like an option for you with your current internet option. |

Today's consoles have frequent OS/software updates. MP games require more bandwidth/use more data than games in the past. So with your current internet service and your limited data allocation, a X1/PS4 would not be a good fit for you. |

But - as soon as you go online and attempt to connect to live: 1. A system update may be required. You may choose to remain offline. 2. If the XBOX OS is up to date, a game update may be required. You may choose to NOT update the game, but will not be able to be online with it. I'm on the preview program for XB1 and so have lost my feel for XBOX OS updates. I think they come out essentially once a month. Generally games have updates on day 1. |
