I'm going back to Sony I think. Shame cos the 360 is a great console.
What rank you up to now Arsenes?
Yeah I'm hearing a lot of xbox ones are having issues again. That and the fact I'm not into the whole kinect thing are making me consider the ps4. Up to 60 ish. Think I need a break from it though playing Halo 3&4 last few days
This was the article which made my mind up...

I've got one and it's amazing. The strength of it really surprised me, everything actually works like they said it would.
What issues are people even having?
Penguin already out with the Xbox One propaganda
Funny how nobody mentions the issues PS4 uers have been having, biased...
Both consoles have problems at launch, like the launch of all tech. Everyone blew the ps4 launch issues way out of proportion, just as will be done now about the one.
I'll do a review on here later once I've had a bit more.
I'm waiting a few months till excitement dies down and people can honestly say which is better,
Anyone watching the south park episodes about the ps4/xboxone war
I've only seen the first part but have the new one to watch later.

Don't worry about it. You can't afford either.

I can tell you know my friend - both are the same, it will just come down to what exclusives you prefer. But to the OP i would suggest waiting, as one thing i have noticed about both launches are the lack of any real killer titles.
Wait until Summer next year imo, looking back I have bought both the PS2 and 360 on day 1 and what i noticed is in both cases i got console + game deals and in both cases i got 1 game i sort of wanted and 1 game that looked ok but i couldnt say 100% "i wanted", the really good games started to come out 6-12 months after launch.
FOI
PS2 games: Timesplitters and SSX
X360 games: Project Gotham 3
The above is true.
With the ONE I have Forza, Ghosts and Fifa 14. Out of those, Forza is the only 'MUST-HAVE'. Fifa next gen is a really, really great game and if you really like the series (like me) you gotta get it, huge step up. Ghosts is OK, nothing special.
Next year however? Mirrors edge 2, Titan Fall, Watch Dogs, Halo 5 to name but a few.

Mine is arriving tomorrow, Amazon reneged on their pre-Christmas guarantee for my console I went on the prowl and found that not only do GAME have them in stock, but also that if you order by 1pm it's free next day delivery. I've also gotten a better deal by doing so.
Thanks Amazon, now I'm getting an XB1 three weeks earlier than expected, and all because you're useless
Awesome, Azzy. We should make an XB1 thread for news and stuff, a few others here have em.
Let's do that, the XB1 is awesome. Kinect works 100% perfectly, which I'm amazed by. Bravo Microsoft.
im getting mine after christmas, didnt want to get one of the early ones and suffer having a broken console!
knowing my luck ill receive one of those anyway
Tbh other than the higher pricetag because of the Kinect, the Xbox One looks more appealing to me.
I'm gonna wait till next year before I buy the Xbox One, probably around spring. At least by then there will be good few games out, and all the bugs would have been fixed. Looking forward to Titanfall.
Less than 1% of consoles have had hardware issues, and those unfortunate gamers are being recompensed by Microsoft by:
1. Having a new console sent to them BEFORE you send it back, rather than wait 3 weeks for a replacement to arrive; and
2. A free download of one of the launch games - I think FIFA, Forza or Ryse? I can't remember exactly.
The XB1 is definitely worth the price, I can't begin to describe how fantastic it is. It's gaming made easy, it's entertainment central, it's family-friendly. Brilliant.
I have 5 games now, I will play those until late Feb when Thief comes out, then play that for a fortnight before Titanfall is released. A big couple of months.
Azzy
So you really rate the new FIFA on the one, have you given it a good amount of playing time?
FIFA 14 on ps3/Xbox 360 was absolute crap.
I hated the FIFA 14 demo on 360. Loathed it. I wasn't going to buy the full game on the back of it.
I was then given a copy of the game by a friend who works at Rockstar. It was okay, but I preferred 13.
14 on the XB1 is miles better than 14 on the 360, and for me, more enjoyable than 13. Some of the mechanics aren't quite right (Chris Brunt's right foot being good shocked me!), but overall, it is a significant improvement on the 360 version.
I've played about 20 games so far, using Barcelona, Albion, Leverkusen and Monaco. FUT I went off last year after trading for a few months and building up a team full of blue TOTY cards, so I don't think I'll bother playing FUT.
Fifa on this console is insanely good.
