PS4 vs Xbox One COMMUNITY SIZE

[Jaak9]

Hi guys

I owned a PS4 and had to get rid of it earlier this year because of some financial difficulties.
I'm back on my feet and now and want to get back into console gaming.

Before you go on about exclusives and PC gaming. I finished BloodBorne NG++ and I have a fairly decent latop for DOTA2.

My main concern about the Xbox One is the size of the online community.

I played Advanced Warfare online on the PS4 and all the previous ones on PC online. Same as on PC, I usually saw mostly the same players online. This scares me as from what I read on MyGaming's forums, people like the PS4 for the raw power and higher resolutions etc etc.

How big is the Xbox one community in SA? Will I be fine with online games? (Mostly CoD).
Like I said, I have owned a PS4 and I'm pretty set on giving the Xbox One a shot. (I really like the media capabilities of the Xbox one, had lots of issues with my PS4 to watch movies etc. even through Plex)

PS4 community is bigger afaik

PS4 should be bigger since there are more consoles sold both in South Africa and the rest of the world.

The XBox One community is much cooler though. For instance we have a Forza 6 tournament here at MyGaming where we select a track and car type every week and then see who can set the best time. And in Forza Horizon 2 we have a South African club that's pretty awesome.

See, that's what I'm looking for. Also never played Forza. Watch a lot of videos. I'm a huge fan of racing games.

Can't wait for Need for Speed, the Crew Wild Run and to give forza a try.

As long as I can go online after work. Search for a game on BO3 and play without waiting 10-15min to find players.

I think that you'll find fps players much easier on the PS4 though. I may be wrong. I don't really play fps games online.

We have DriveClub

I agree, just looking at Destiny alone

We have DriveClub

You have the game but not the community. Or are you guys doing similar things in DriveClub?

I agree, just looking at Destiny alone

I must say that I have lots of friends who play Destiny on the XBox One all the time. Like [MENTION=11879]KofDelight[/MENTION] and [MENTION=693]Azimuth[/MENTION]. So I think that base is covered on the XBox One. I don't know about games like BO3 though. Maybe Azimuth will know better.

Destiny was my first game on the ps4.. found one guy from SA. And no local servers for pvp? Or has that changed?

Hmmm I have been summoned it seems.

We don't have local servers,but there are tons of PS4 players.
I have many friends that I've met from ZA in the Tower or in-game,then I just add them.

If you can get a fireteam of ZA players then your connection online will be more stable.
