Opinions on the 3 big consoles

Firstly the xbox one



First thing i will say is it not a fan of the look of the system it is just a black box reminds me of a VCR. The controller i quite liked i thought it would be really hard for a fighting game like killer instinct but i got used to it.

Setting it up was simple put in my wep key set up account logged in and i was sorted. I really hate the User interface though too similar to xbox 360 which i also did not like it could be so much simpler and uncluttered and while it may be designed for kinect (which i did not get) they should have done a version for controllers. Still downloading stuff is much easier and also you can start playing a game before it  has finished downloading providing enough has downloaded.

The 500gb harddrive it comes with i doubt would be enough as out of the box you only have about 370gb available. Thankfully you can use a external usb harddrive.

Second the ps4


So the look of the console is a lot better then the xbox one and it is much smaller the user interface is a bit like the ps3 but i think it could be a lot better.

Again like with the xbox one it was very straightforward to set up online

The controller i really liked it feels so comfortable in the hand though the touch pad/button is a bit to close to the d-pad i have accidentally tapped it a few times.Like with the xbox one it has a 500gb hardrive though you can buy a internal 2.5" hardrive and replace it easily (it is possible with the xbox one but it is not easy)

Thirdly the Wii-u



This is the smallest console reminds me of a more rounded wii of course you have the tablet style controller which i actually found comfortable though not really as practical for games like bayonetta 2. The UI is a lot more straightforward then the other consoles but having the second screen touch pad is very handy.

Setting up online was easy enough aswell though had a few issues registering for club nintendo

Now as far as storage goes with the system you can get 8gb or 32gb which if you are planning to go digital it is not enough but you can use Sd cards or external hardrives. However i found with the wii u if you going for physical media you do not have the insane updates that the other consoles have.


That is my initial summary however here is where i go on a bit of a rant. You buy consoles for games and to be honest exclusive wise they are a bit lacking while i would say the wii-u had the edge it had been out for longer but even then with the wii u i was expecting a lot more.With the xbox one and ps4 it does feel like a drought for exclusive games and i really hope more comes out soon.
