To Discuss...:
Inviting Mark Sta Ana & Charlie Adams (& mentioning alison adams & loulou santa ana for info... this is a private post seen only by those copied in).
So... Charlie is talking about a console on his xmas wishlist.
Initially he would be happy with an XBox 360 - mainly to run FIFA14.
However with the new consoles coming out we need to consider them too.
Of the new ones I tend to agree with the thinking and conclusions in this Engadget piece (they favour PS4 as cheaper & more powerful and dedicated to gaming).
It also aligns with my general dislike of Microsoft and we can and will be able to do plenty of "connected media" things via alternative methods/devices so the "Xbox as media-hub" thing is actually unattractive to me (who wants MSFT as their gateway to media consumption?).
There is a also the consideration of which network (Sony vs XBox) Cherlie's mates are on (now, and into the future).
Possibly staying on a previous gen. Xbox 360 provides good short-term value while the market shakes out (game titles, adoption rates/popularity etc.)
So opinions sought... have at it please!
