5 reasons why Sony is better than Microsoft

5 Shared content.

What do I mean by this? Well if you down load a game you expect all users to be able to play the full version wouldn't you? I mean you wouldn't buy a game twice for the same console would you? Well for some reason microsoft thinks this is a viable use for your money. Yes you cannot play the full versions of arcade games on other accounts except the one you downloaded it on. Yet on the PS3 buy Battlefield 3 premium once and all users now have premium and sharing full games no problem. Full games on all accounts on PS3 but not Xbox 360.
This should be their new logo.

4. Charging for Play for free!

Not a typo yes on xbox live you still have to pay for free to play games and it's not like companies haven't tried to circumvent this. Ok lets take Elder scrolls online (I know this is subscription paid but it only highlights it more). Steam pay for the game plus subscription, PS4 game plus subscription fee (no Playstation plus) Xbox one Game plus subscription Fee plus xbox live gold hmmmm sounds a little greedy don't cha think? Bethesda even tried to go around this but microsoft said no. Now world of tanks is being released with war frame with  the free to play mechanic yet still needs xbox gold. Playstation DC universe, Ace combat infinity and now Soul caliber lost souls just announced all play for free without Playstation plus.

3.More exclusive titles.

Ok xbox has halo, fable and forza (ok forza is better than gran tourismo). But  Playstation has Killzone, Gran tourismo, Ratchett and clank, Sly cooper and infamous. Yes not including the disgraceful kinect titles because they don't work. But seriously even counting them sony has almost the double of the amount of exclusives. I know fan boys are going to say but we got Dead rising 3 big deal what that compared to almost complete exclusivity from Namco Bandai.

2 Innovations that work.

Ok playstation move may not of been successful but it worked unlike kinect (Why are we being force fed this crap). No game worked properly on Kinect yet the move worked effortlessly (this is my own observations). Try to say xbox off and it would ask you to repeat it and flappy your arms like an epiletic chicken just to switch slide was so much fun. It didn't have Blu ray and went for HD DVD which floundered and died a slow painful death was as painful to watch, Let's not forget it was a £100 add on as well.



1 Greedy bastards.

Lets just be honest here Microsoft just seems to be greedy when it comes to the xbox, look at the list of things you need to pay xbox gold for/and to use but seems to be free or its own fee everywhere else. 

  1. Youtube
  2. Facebook
  3. Netflix
  4. Internet browser
  5. 4oD
  6. Demand 5
  7. Lovefilm
  8. Sky go
  9. Now tv
  10. Blink box
  11. Vevo
  12. Twitch
  13. NBA
  14. MLB
  15. Crackle
So really Sony is where it is at for value for your money.
