X1 for exclusives.
PS4 for everything else.
Which is weirdly the exact opposite of last gen.

Xbox one: exclusives and multiplayer due to friends.
Ps4: exclusives
Wii u: ninty 1st party
Pc: multiplats, indies and obviously pc exclusives.

The plebs? With the PS4 outselling the XB1 every month, and it seemingly becoming the multiplayer platform of this generation, wouldn't you expect a majority of your friends to be on PS4 if they were to jump into current-gen?
I think the universal friendslists between 360/XB1 are a huge stimulus in this regard. Xbox 360 held the MP community last generation and it's not difficult to see why people upgrade to the XB1, the console that keeps them in touch with the friendslist they built up over the last generation. It's a valuable asset.

This, almost.
I'll add though some games like Destiny complicate things. Being a multiplayer game I'll end up where most of my friends are, which looks like it might be Xbone.
A few smaller indie titles I also like to buy on PS4/Vita too. I enjoy playing games on my Vita so cross-buy is a big selling point for me.
PS4 - Exclusives and Multi-plats
XBO - Exclusives and possibly some shooters.
My mates who have XBO's are pretty much shooterbro's so I may buy the new COD if they get it but otherwise I'll get all the stuff I want for the PS4. Of the 9 games I have on pre-order only 2 are on the XBO (SO & H:MCC).

I do something similar.
My friends are pretty much split between the Xbox One and PS4 (of those that have upgraded and none have both). So I tend to go to sites like Digital Foundry or follow game news to see which version is slightly better than the other and then I go for that one.
At the moment most of my multiplatform games are on the PS4 and the Xbox One is for exclusives (last generation it was the 360 that was used for multiplatform titles and the PS3 for exclusives).
I think the only multiplatform games I have on the Xbox One are FIFA 14 (it came with my console) and Strider (it was on sale and Digital Foundry said both versions pretty much the same but the Xbox One may have had a very minor advantage due to some bug on the PS4 or something).

Xbox One - Exclusives.
Playstation 4 - Exclusives.
But I will say, I kind of split the multi-platforms between the two consoles depending on which looks the best on what console.

For starters, most of my friends are from 2old4forza. We are Forza fans. My local friends are similarly heavily into Forza. If I had bought only one console, I would have picked up an Xbox One because for me Forza was an essential purchase.
Why is it so hard to understand that for some people, the Xbox exclusives mean more than the extra oomph of the PS4? I'm fortunate, I was able to buy both and so tend to pick up most multiformat titles on PS4 - but I can see me picking up certain multiplayer games on XB1 in the future.

Where do the trio console owners fall into this? The people want dat gamepad action.
Recently added the xbox one to my collection, only got it because i already have Halo: MCC and sunset overdrive pre ordered otherwise a majority of my time is spent making a gaming PC and playing on my PS4 which has most of my time
TL;DR Multiplats and Sonys 1st party studios for the PS4
exclusives on XB1

PS4 for Multiplats and exclusives as its generally always the best version at the moment.
Wii U for nintendo first party goodness.
Xbox one for exclusives only atm.
I have only bought one retail game on xbox one and that is Forza 5, I borrowed Ryse off my friend and ill probably get dead rising when it hits the bargain bin. Didnt think much of the demo.
Titanfall came free with the console but i haven't touched that in weeks now. Think im at level 48 or something.
Very much enjoyed Max and super time force though.
Nothing on my Xbox list until sunset overdrive and then master chief collection as i never did start halo 4 properly.

Exactly the same situation here.
Got also a Wii U for exclusives but i will get rid of it soon because it's simply an overkill for me to own 3 consoles. I can't find the time to fully use them all.
Default PS4. Usually the games have higher fidelity. My friends list is almost exclusivly PSN and I've been a PlayStation fan since I started gaming in the late 90ies, so there is a certain affinity.
Bought Xbox One for exclusives.
If I don't get a game on Day One, and there is a digital foundry comparison, I'll check though which version is better. (So yeah, usually it's always PS4 for multiplats)

The only way to game, really.
Yeah, that can't be very good friends; I made sure that my friends knew PS4 was more powerful and less expensive well in advance. I would have felt bad not advising them against buying the weaker and more expensive system, and I also told them about Microsoft's unsuccessful attempt to take away game ownership from us. Not a single one bought an Xbone.

If it's a multiplayer game definitely Xbox one.

What is better about the ' ecosystem ' ?
Same, I'm activly advising my friends who mostly play multiplat games to only buy a PS4.
What a saint.

Same here. Like XBL and the XBO controller better.

At least he informs his friends and don't let them make uninformed decisions.
To Whipped Spartan, what do you like better about XBL? Because that seems like such a weird statement.

What does this gif represent?
I can't imagine any kind of good friend recommending purchasing either of these systems at launch (I own both.) Note: I don't make my purchasing decisions based on "Microsoft's unsuccessful attempt to take away game ownership from us"
MMaRsu
Member
Did he say at launch though? I recommended all my friends that if and when they buy a next gen system, they should buy a PS4 if mostly they are going to play CoD, Fifa and other multiplats.

Seems like a rhetorical question.
Exclusives = both
PS4 for third party single player
For multiplayer games, pick whichever you have a subscription to and/or have more friends playing on.

When PS3 and 360 were my main it was opposite with 360 getting all the multiplats.

Well...
If a game is multi-platform and on PC then PC.
If a game is multi-platform but NOT on PC then PS4.
Xbox One just get exclusives to Xbox One.

Wait what? The quality of your friendship is determined based on the console they purchase?

I advised most of my friends to buy a Vita when it launched.
No regrets.

Exclusives on both, Multiplats shared depending on the type of game. However with that, I still feel like I lean more heavily with the PS4 for those. I guess if it's a single player game that doesn't need that much online attention, I'll play it on the Xbox just to have something to play on it.

No but letting uninformed friends buy the more expensive, weaker console is not cool.

What!? You strong arming your friends to buy the console you love is uninformed. Being a true informed friend would suggest to buy BOTH consoles because they both have strengths and weaknesses.
MMaRsu
Member
Hm.. Not really. If friends only buy a next gen console to play multiplats why would I tell them to get an underperforming and underpowered console that is also more expensive? That actually makes zero sense.
There are hardly any ' strengths' in the Xbone in The Netherlands. Actually the console isn't even out yet. And I haven't forgotten MS DRM bullshit they tried to pull on us. They don't deserve the sales imo.
Although maybe I'll pick up a used Xbone further down the road, to play some of those awesome exclusives.
God forbid people have a preference outside of graphical power right? I should have told my friends they were stupid for preferring the Xbox controller and exclusives.
To be fair as this thread progressed the number of people primarily buying PS4 versions of multi plats in this thread took a lead over XBONE. It was just that first page that initially struck me as odd given the sales disparity in the US and especially the world. It definitely does show however that a good number of XBONE sales have and will come from brand/platform loyalty/familiarity which I'm guessing has to make MS happy.
Edit obviously those type of sales will happen with any system I should say. Just with the shift this gen they become noticeable on one platform just like they were noticeable early last gen with that shift as well.

Actually my friends don't have those preferences outside of controller preference and the fact they are 'used ' to Xbox 360.

My friends know what they're getting into. Calling people uninformed because they buy the Xbox One is nothing less than dumb and short-sighted.
If there isn't a huge performance difference then I'll go for what I consider the superior controller (XBO)
If there is significant performance issues (I'm talking Skyrim PS3 style unplayability, not 180p worth of resolution) then I'll go with PS4
Also depends on where my friends are for games like FIFA and Destiny (in both cases PS4)
