Tales of the Unexpected

To start, a full disclaimer type note about this post. Firstly, it's something I've never spoken about to anyone (ominous opening huh??). Secondly, I've always had a very open mind towards things that can't be explained. I have members of my family who are absolutely convinced one way or the other when it comes to these matters, but I've always kind of sat on the fence. I've written this post more as an observation of what I believe I witnessed, rather than as a statement of fact. I don't expect to convince you, dear reader and follower of Monkey matters, I just wanted to share!

Truly Next-Gen Gaming?

Ok so before I start, and for full disclosure, I'm an XBox One owner in this generation. Last generation I bought (and still own) a 360, a PS3 and a Wii, so I'm in no way a fanboy to any of the consoles. Although no doubt I'll still get called one as I own an XBox One! I've owned the XB1 for almost 2 months now and wanted to share my thoughts on what I feel makes the difference between the current generation and the last generation. Obviously my slant is going to be Microsoft heavy as this is what I own, and I don't feel that it's fair to talk about Sony when I don't own a PS4, although some of the points here do apply to both manufacturers.

The obvious biggest battle is once again between Sony and Microsoft. And as things stand at the moment, Sony seem to have the headstart in terms of console sales. Sales rates on both systems are continuing to surpass the last generation with healthy sales on both consoles and games. There are obvious differences in price here, but then there are obvious differences in what comes in the box.
