Are you glad you want for Xbox One?

If you picked it over the PS4 are you glad and did you make the right choice and why did you choose XB1? Only thing I miss with the PS4 is the battery free controller with the charger cable.

I reckon the prices will drop early next year for the new consoles anyway.
There's pros and cons for both consoles, much prefer the xbox controller but not a fan of the chat adapter requirement. Plus was sick of issues with PSN being down.
I have both but bought Xbox One first and it's my main console. Don't regret it at all.
FYI the PS4 controller battery life is awful.
Cool is there exclusives for PS4 you like? For me the only one would have been Drive club so was not worth it for one game.
I'm thinking the same tbh.
My PS4 has become somewhat redundant, don't know if it will come back into favour, Uncharted 4 will be a big draw though
I'm settled with the X1.
In a way I'm sad to say I agree with this.
I just seem to be enjoying the X1 more than I ever did the PS4
However i found my mates stopped playing the COD games that I like most mainly due to the poor online playability when playing in parties or some giving up on the franchise after Ghosts. So they moved on to Destiny which isn't my kind of game and the mate who like me got Advanced Warfare wasn't impressed by the bad lag and also buggy software when trying to play in a party. Further I found playing ghosts and Advanced warfare (in classic mode) online on my own to be disappointing mainly due to the lag which I perceived to be due to the lack of promised dedicated servers and low numbers of people playing these games. Saying that I like the EA deal where can play various games for only £20.
So on the Black Friday weekend I got a PS4 and find the online experience to be better than the Xbox One - this seems to be because more people have bought this console so a much higher chance of playing people closer to me. Graphically the PS4 is noticeably better too when stop and look around or at the start of the game tho the difference isn't noticable when in gun fights. I also prefer that the PS4 download patches/updates seem much smaller than those on the Xbox plus of course it's got the only decent baseball game. However i feel the PS4 isn't built as well as the Xbox One - for example the charger lead and free earphone quality.
Overall I'm preferring the PS4 at the moment but I'm keeping my Xbox One.
I'm gonna have a crack at Halo 5 this afternoon, and I'm sure some killer exclusives will make it worthwhile in the end.
For the past year and into the future most of gaming outside of retro is being spent on 360 and X1, 360 is great as similar to the PS2 there's so many hidden and obscure gems, such a monsterous library that covers all genres and right now is a great time to pick them up. I find both consoles compliment each other so well but if I were to add another console into the mix then it would be too much imho.
Sure I'll miss out on some Nintendo exclusives (surprisingly that's not been difficult this year as none of them really took my fancy outside of Bayonetta 2) and upcoming Sony exclusives but that's life, you can't always have everything.
Ive been playing Advanced Warfare since release and had absolutely zero lag on my xbone.
I had the PS4 to start with but i disliked it. Just felt stale to use like the PS3 did. Hated the design, the controller was bog awful so sold it and got an xbone and love it.
Random quits to the dashboard during games meaning I have to do entire levels again, games just refusing to load when I start them up, the dashboard freezing meaning I have to hard reset the console, Apps just not working as they are supposed or, error codes that request you input them on xbox.com only to be told that error code doesn't even exist (well it ****ing does it's on my TV screen)
It's beyond unacceptable when I've had more errors in a month on Xbox 1 then I have in a year on PS4
Frame rate can have a bit of a bigger impact if you have played a game at the higher fps rate (As I found with the PS3/Vita port of Resogun recently, Feels slow compared to the 60fps PS4 version i'm used to) but again for the most part when your just playing a game I doubt most are going to notice if its 60 or 30 fps.
End of the day if a game is good & plays well then it shouldn't matter if it looks slightly better on another system.
I've had my PS4 for a couple of weeks now and graphically there's not a lot in it. It could be because I'm too used to the XB1 but I prefer the Xbox One UI to the PS4 and it's missing some features the xbox one have. But overall I am liking both consoles.
