I have used all three machines and like them all, just for different reasons. I may end up doing the same thing with this generation of consoles. I did not buy them all at the same time. So the decision for me is which one am I going to buy right away and which will I wait to see if they can make it worth it to buy that one as well. Intro Graphic By: whatsittoyou Have A PS4 or Xbox One Delivered to Your Door The PS4 were released November 15, 2013 in most major markets. The Xbox One was released everywhere on November 22, 2013. If you are thinking about waiting until release day to get one of the consoles, you may want to reconsider. In article in the Wall Street Journal a Sony executive said with the PS4 "demand may well outstrip supply". They got a phenomenal response after their successful showing at E3 2013. UPDATE The PS4 is currently available again on Amazon, but I don't know for how long. They sold out quickly of the last batch that they had, so I recommend that if you want one you should order it now. Since it seems they were right about demand being higher then their supply.

Now it sells both products amongst many other things so I don't see there being a previous bias on the visitors to that site. Therefore it is probably one of the best results to go by. The PS4 (38,994) absolutely

The real results are shown when people are putting their money where there mouth is. The reports are that the PS4 is outselling Xbox by 2 to1 at both Gamestop and on Amazon. While not quite as overwhelming as the voting, Sony still has a huge lead. DRM Latest News At E3 we got the definitive answers about DRM (digital rights management) from both Sony and Microsoft. Sony announced at E3 that they will support used games. They will not have any limitations on who you can trade it too or how many times. If Microsoft does not change their stance before the release date, they may lose the console war just on this issue alone.

Both makers are likely to announce more about the games (including exclusives) at Gamescom. Gamescom is being held August 21-25 2013.
