to be honest, i can't even be mad anymore. I've got my PS4 every since it first came out, and through out all these years, the UI is still slow, 8GB of memory and they can't spare one GB or even less, since its really basic stuff.... i hate Apple but one thing they are good at is optimisation, nobody else seems to know what that word mean, someone sends me a message, two hours later (...not really), that i'm finally able to open up my messages, to know what it is.... what am i supposed to do with "folders"? Can't tell you how much i've been thinking buying an xbox, but i've paid for a lot of games, to switch means i'd have to play all of them already.

      Obviously because PS4 has been sold like cakes since the beginning and there are almost no units available, and basically Microsoft is giving away XBOX ONE,Im gonna get a xbox one myself.... nobody buys PS4 because we already have one, waiting for PS4 Pro, Its gonna be best gaming console ever as always.

            Sorry people, just right now what matter are the facts, and xbox one is outselling Ps4, just let them enjoy their success, anyway in the future will be the ps4 time, but do not expect a post like this for the Ps4 success.

            Btw PCMasterRace will allways be the best option

              The one S is only now caught up to the original ps4s specs and size, still no where near the amount of ps4s sold to date so have fun feeling good for at least this and bf1 Xbox fans :P

                  Xbox is for the typical first person shooter (fps) people.

                            Spin by Xbox...PS4 sales went down because people were waiting for the Slim and Pro. Just wait for the Nov and Dec reports and you will see.

                                Well, I suppose the reason for that is that people who already own PS4 got bored of it, so they bought an Xbox.
                                You are not going to buy yet another PS4, am i rite?

                                  Initial worldwide release is what really counts since it still has its full price to which PS4 raked the dough in 2011/2012? Xbone didnt even come close. And now mostlikely their waiting for the next gen PS console and saving some bucks.

                                    The real question would be next month's data which is for November, it would include the sales of the PS4 Pro which just got released. I've said this numerous times, why would anyone buy a PS4 Slim when they can pay $100 more and get a superior console in every way.

                                      I will buy very powerful PC instead of gaming console. But PS4 is better than Xbox.
