    No I want both consoles. I havent been able to source an XB1 as yet, but I assure you, as soon as I find one, I'll be buying it. I'm on a waiting list for one, but stock seems short on both consoles, so I'm not holding my breath for this month.

    Both consoles have strengths and weaknesses, but until fairly recently there was muddled info on them. Now everything is more finallised its become clear to me IMO that both consoles will be awesome. Previously I was pro PS4, but as I say, more info has come out, MS have changed certain strategies and now both consoles are very enticing.

    Yeah, I was extremely pro PS4 a couple of months ago, but I'm happy to see the changes and admit that its almost impossible to choose based on the hardware now. I always hoped the decision was going to be really hard because as gamers, we need that competition to drive the consoles on over the next few years. So I openly admit to having my mind changed as more info has come out. People who speak to me regularly will tell you (if they kep count!) of how many 180's Ive done in the last month or so! LOL

    To be clear though, my whole point isnt just Pro Sony with regards to the 0.4%. I consider that to be a high standard of manufacturing which is why I hope MS achieve the same (or better). As NO manufacturing process is 100% perfect. But I may have jumped down peoples throats in the manner I tried to explain that. So apologies if I offended people with my manner.

    Edit: Although that said, I will just toss in a "Bite me Shifty" at the end here.

    Re: PS4 Hardware faulty

    This whole thing is a non issue. There are always faulty production units and there will be for the XB one as well. People like to blow things out of proportion and and sensationalise things to stir the pot. There is never 100% success is manufacturing even under the best of conditions. IGN are one of the worst offenders when it comes to drumming up sensationalist articles to generate traffic.

    Considering the consoles out in the wild pre-release were mainly in the hands of journalists etc it probably would've been a good idea to have playtested them a little bit before despatch
