A PS4 Owner Making the Switch to the Xbox one

Poli Games host Joseph, makes the Jump from the PlayStation 4 too
Microsoft's Xbox One S for over a month. Joe tries out games like Gears of
War 4, Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. Can
the Xbox One S sway this PlayStation fanboy over to the green side of the
aisle? What does the PS4 do better then the Xbox, and what does Microsoft
have over Sony? Can he find a middle ground?

[Aenea]

"there are no sides", exactly!

[mikeslemonade]

Xbox offers virtually no advantage to the PS4. He just downgraded his experience.

[darthv72]

Or... he has moved into the neutral zone where he can enjoy both experiences. No harm in doing that.

(have not watched the vid yet, just making a general statement)

[JamesBroski]

You should buy a console on the exclusives you want to play. Stop being a fanboy.

[3-4-5]

XB1 has one thing going for it that effects every game and that is the XB1 controller.

It's just factually more comfortable to hold and the clear winner for best controller ever.

So to say " no advantage "...I dunno...you sound mad that something besides the thing you like is also liked by other people.

Like you can't even handle it....pathetic.

[spicelicka]

That's a stupid thing to say. Both consoles have advantages or no one would've bought an Xbox. You can't play Gears of war, Forza, or Halo on PS4, just like you can't play UC4, Bloodborne, on Xbox1.

For online multiplayer Xbox has the best experience and the best lineup, for story based games PS4 is the best as expected.

Please don't spew fanboy BS if you have no credibility.

[joab777]

Except mods and it will be a huge issue if more games release with this support.

For example, there are entire new areas and storylines created by modders for free for Skyrim available now on Xbox. Not on PS4.

I love my PS4 and will get a Pro in a few hrs but I am actually angry about this b/c it makes no sense and goes against everything Sony has stood for this gen. It's absurd. Xbox has had Fallout 4 mods for months...wtf!!

[Aenea]

If you had watched the video it would be clear that he got the Xbox One S and used it for 30 days as his main console, afterwards he kept both his PS4 and the Xbox One S, even mentioned he will buy Titanfall 2 again on the PS4 so he can play it with his old PS4 friends and new Xbox One friends....

[Benchm4rk]

You downgrade everyone's experience on N4G with your comments. Go away

[rocketpanda]

Oh shut up! How is playing on another system a downgrade? Looks like he gained another system. You seem that people just give up on a console and 100% jump on to another. Silly fanboy child!

[mark_parch]

@ mikeslemonade
being able to play halo 5, forza horizon 3, gears of war 4, ori and the blind forest, sunset overdrive and dead rising 4 a year early are pretty good reasons, some people might also prefer the controller, the ability to play 4k blu rays and backwards compatability. also people might be looking forward to halo wars 2, sea of thieves, scalebound, crackdown 3, cuphead, below and state of decay 2. there's also the preview program where people have been playing games like ark and elite dangerous where they will be able to play astroneer soon. they are some advantages xbox has over ps4. some would argue it has a better online service as well

[MagicBeanz]

@ HaydoThePotato

Its got more down votes then up votes now so based on your logic are you going to call this site pro xbox now or does it only work one way?

[thisismyaccount]

Especially now with "Play Anywhere" ... i see no reason to get an XB1s. I don´t buy any discs anymore, so that UHD 4K BD is worthless to me (the only reason i can see for some folks out there). I´ve played and dropped too much $$$ on former XB1 exclusives on the PC and so far, not one has impressed me.

Among those that i´ve played FMH3 and Ryse were prolly the best offerings, QB, Gearsofwar4 were huge letdowns (if i only had done some research, prior getting gears4 .. who knew that, i was going to be a playing a "fuckboi" nathandrake type of guy instead of the iconic-bad-ass-mofo Marcus Fenix?!)

So much hype, and both uber IPs have sadly flopped (terms of sales QB and reviews Gears4). I´m sorry BUT The Coallition and the 343 Industries guys/girls are not good at making videogames. QB is such a farçe of a game, gives you options to choose A or B ... but then invalidates them by letting you "play" as the antagonist for a level or two and has the balls to ask you once again pick A or B.

Review Gears 4
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

If Forza Motorsport Horizon were an Exclusive, i would have gotten an XB1s. The only REAL exclusive the Xbox really has, in house exclusive and one that does not suck at all.

Microsoft has TWICE the gaming studios than Sony/Nintendo ... yet only delivers the same "shaite" annually?! Thankfully FMH3 is actually a fun racer.. but how come? Twice the numbers, yet ... all we get are Forzas/Halos/Gears ... SONY has yet to release a friggin Gran Turismo! game ... 1xKillzone x 2x Remasters ...in 3 years versus 3ish Halos (+wars), 3?xish Forzas and 2xish Gears.

They have to step up by a factor of 100%. Remedy´s QB is such a letdown ... i can not believe that QB was done by the same guys/girls the made Max Payne 1 and 2, what a mindfukc.

[cyber_daemonx]

@345, thats entirely subjective. If you don't like asymmetric sticks then forget it.

[ZeroX9876]

@mikeslemonade

Depends. If he played some of the sony exclusives and realized he prefer the MS ones, makes sense someone like this would switch to the X1. One of my friend literally wanted to buy an X1 alongside his High end PC and PS4 JUST because of halo 5. The no splitscreen made his decision easy, but it's just to show how much influence MS exclusives can have on some gamers choices.

[IamTylerDurden1]

The xbone controller is feature lacking compared to the DUALSHOCK 4. I think the DUALSHOCK 4 is easily the best controller this gen. The shorter sticks, easy to press shoulder buttons, great d-pad, share button, great feel, touchpad, speaker, micro bead grip on the back, and a 3.5 jack.

[MatrixxGT]

That's why I have both. There's things I like and dislike about both platforms.

[81BX]

Same... I have always prefered xbox but ps has been a great buy. Excellent systems and library

[Kurt Russell]

Xbox One S was my gateway onto the platform (currently owning a PS4 the rest of this gen). I have really enjoyed what I have played on it, particularly Horizon 3. Tomorrow I get my Ps4 Pro upgrade, this has been an expensive end of the year :P

[Da12RespectA]

Can't go wrong with both.

[XanderZane]

Not for me. I just play them both. Not just about the exclusives. It's about different genres, the controller, playing with friends, playing online and other different reasons for owning both systems.

[Nu]

Playstation is the movie experience Uncharted 4, Xbox is the Multiplayer Gears of War 4

[CoryHG]

The fact that BF1 runs at 720p on Xbox and 900p on PS4 says enough. Add the Pro into that, and it's ballgame. I haven't touched my xbox one in a few months and am on my ps4 daily. I think Forza is entertaining, but GOW blows and Halo was a letdown. Cancelled Fable project and no interesting new IPs.

[UntrainedN00B01]

Your actually wrong bf1 runs with a dynamic resolution on both ps4 and xb1 and xb1 has a slightly more stable frame rate. likewise I ain't used my ps4 other than to update it, once I got done with uc4 it offered me nothing else I was interested in. I use my Xb1 every day And prefer Xbox live over psn plus I don't trust Sony enough due to security issues with account being compromised. About the games you mentioned that's just your opinion but I actually enjoyed both GOW and Halo and having dedicated servers for online makes a difference

[Derpy]

Yeah, what's the point in making a switch, just keep your PS4 and get the Xbox too. I don't currently have an Xbox one, but I'm planning to get the Scorpio when it is released. I figured why waste money on a PS4 Pro when I can continue to enjoy PS4 exclusives on my current PS4 and add to my library Xbox exclusives while enjoying all future enhanced multi platform games on the Scorpo.

[SynestheticRoar]

Give mo 5000 dollars and I'll will make believe, I made the switch too.

[BizarroUltraman]

Its not a rare thing to see someone go from Playstation to Xbox or vice versa, happens all the time.

[SideNote]

Yes I went from ps to xb. No different when I went Sega to Nintendo In te good ol days 😜

[Benchm4rk]

Yep I recently got a friend at my work to pick up an Xbox One S. He has always owned PlayStation and never owned a single Xbox. He had never played a Gears or Halo game. Showed him the Gears 4 trailer and he really liked it. He bought the console and played through Gears 1 2 and 3 before picking up 4 and he loved them all. He is currently playing through all of the Halo games and he is really enjoying them too. His PlayStation is still his main console and now that I'm picking up a PS4 pro he is trying to get me to buy Watchdogs 2 on that so we can do some Co op stuff together. Good times to be had on both platforms.

[InTheZoneAC]

but it makes no sense

I was all in with nintendo and eventually made my way to playstation due to not caring about the direction nintendo was headed. And I've been getting back into nintendo the last few years but they're not at the top like they once were.

I could see xb to nintendo or xb to playstation but never playstation to xb or playstation to nintendo. These two compliment each other but one is simply the odd ball here.

[CrimsonWing69]

how are you liking it?

[XXanderXX]

Good for you , you enjoy .

[Fist4achin]

There's no need for drama, play them all!

[babadivad]

You must be new here.

[Fist4achin]

No. Been gaming probably longer than you have been alive. I've joined these boards over the past spring, but have been visiting for over the past couple of years.

[spaceg0st]

xbox360 To a ps4 guy here, bought an xbox one S (minecraft edition) recently... didn't really like it. Menus felt cluttered and sluggish. Controller felt cheap. Left me feeling glad i use my ps4 mainly.

edit: Just to clarify my comment about the xbox one S controller feeling cheap. I've always loved the 360 controller and have enjoyed my time with the DS4. I've also swapped sticks on my ds4 to turn them into xbox one sticks (more grip and better concave)... so i'm not fanboying one side or another. I enjoy the shape of the xbox one S controller but the plastic just feels lightweight and the clicking of the triggers feels somewhat hollow or thin. I like a little weight to my controllers and i expected this to be a little 'meatier.' I'm glad so many people like it, as to each his own... just with me and my larger man hands, i prefer my ds4. (jealous of the lack of an elite controller though... soon though.)

[Razrye2]

Same with me

[WickedLester]

Coming from an owner of both, the Xbox One's UI is trash. I'm sorry but how anyone can prefer that convoluted mess over the PS4's XMB UI is beyond me. Especially now that you can create custom folders on the XMB. The interface is darn near perfect.

[UnHoly_One]

I feel exactly the same only in reverse. lol

[iTechHeads]

The PS4s OS is not called "XMB". That's a PS3 term.

[lastking95]

Odd considering xb1 ui is proven on video to be faster.

[XanderZane]

Both UI for XB1 and PS4 were trash when the system launched. XB1 UI is much better now. Definitely faster and I can navigate it pretty quickly. I still like the XBox 360 UI better then all of them. The *Home* button is the best. Don't care much for the PS4 UI. It's been the same since the PS3 with slight modifications. Still can't pull up all my games on the screen quickly.

[sammarshall102]

How does a Xbox One feel cheap compared to a DS4 which people always complain about the rubber peeling and the triggers being messed up

Then there's the low battery life...

[iceman06]

The triggers and the peeling were fixed in the second iteration of the DS4. Plus, in a way, it does feel more sturdy. As for the battery, it averages about 6 1/2-7 hrs of constant gameplay (for me). So, after a session, I just plug up and let it charge in standby mode.

[stuna1]

Just admit it, you'll never like anything PlayStation related.

I do like certain games on Xbox1 due to my son having one, but I personally prefer PlayStation. There not that hard to give props to both.

[bloop]

In my 30+ years of gaming I think the DS4 is definitely one of the worst controllers, quality wise, that I've ever used. My 2 day one controllers are out of action. On my 3rd now for the last few months and that's even starting to feel a bit flimsy now. Best PS controller design so far, but by far the worst made. I still have PS2 controllers that have seen thousands more hours of use and are in better condition than my main DS4 now that's only in use a few months. That is my only gripe with the PS4. I can't speak for the X1 controllers as I don't have one yet.

[meche334]

Controller felt cheap??? What. The build quality is far superior than the ds4

[DashArrivals]

No. No it's not.

[Revvin]

I like the XBOX One interface, everything is right where I need it though the PS4 interface is very easy to use. The interface on the PS4 has got slower and slower though with each new update and its nowhere near as quick as it used to be doing a simple every day task like selecting a friend and clicking on their profile to set up a party. I'm hoping this improves with the PS4 Pro which I have arriving Thursday hopefully. I also prefer the XBOX One pad over the PS4, it feels more solid, has nicer triggers and battery life. It just feels more substantial than the Dualshock 4 though it lacks the nice extra features like the speaker and touchpad but I was really disappointed how quickly the thumbsticks wore down on my original DS4 but the one I bought last Christmas has worn much much better.

[Strikepackage Bravo]

Id rather have rumble in the triggers than that useless speaker and TouchPad. Not to mention all the 1st party variations you can get the XBOS controller in.

[SierraGuy]

Clear the cache and free up disk space to speed things up.

[Fishy Fingers]

Each too their own I say. But,

"Controller felt cheap" sorry, but no. The Xbox one and One S pad especially certainly do not feel cheap.

[starchild]

I agree. I have a PC and a PS4 and I find myself using the Xbox One controller more often than the Dualshock 4 on my PC even though I can easily use either one. I just find the ergonomics of the Xbox One controller to be more comfortable in my hands. It does also seem a bit more durable.

[BizarroUltraman]

Xbox One controller feels better than DS4 after long sessions. Def doesnt feel cheap and I made one Xbox Design labs. Pretty nice feel better than the original.

UI is subjective....each has its flaws.
And I dont know how glad you can be restricted to one console. I play them all except for PC and Wii U. Now thats gaming happyness.

[iTechHeads]

It's that horrible forced Windows 10 crap. It slows down and limits the whole OS. I don't know how people Xbox fans put up with it. To make things worse they do like monthly updates to the OS and manage to fix none of the real issues. Half of the 'updates' to the XB1 OS are features that either should have been there day 1 or have been on Xbox 360 for years. It's a disaster.

[Yohshida]

Ye Clubs, looking for Group and the ui Speed update currently in preview are things the 360 had....oh wait

[lastking95]

You lose all credibility with your controller statement. Evetyone can have their feelings and opinion about power, exclusives, support, ui, the companies but 1 non debateable thing is which feels more cheap made. Im sorry but no it's not debateable. The ds4 feels more cheap than the ds3 tbh lol. This is build quality not button or analog placement. No matter what part of the controller you're comparing where does the the ds4 come out on top? Triggers? Hell no. Rubber grip? F*** no. Covering?xb1s proven to be more durable (look it up) so where or how is the ds4 less cheap made?

[DashArrivals]

No he doesn't. He just not biased like most people here.

[Brisco]

A ps player says the xbox one Controller felt cheap.. right. If anything feels cheap it's the ds4 controller.

[ShadowKnight]

He's right about the Elite controller. I play most of my PC games with the elite controller except for strategy games and fps games. But I still prefer Sony diverse exclusives since I can play Microsoft games on my PC now. The only reason I keep my Xbox one is for the BC which I think it's Microsoft best feature imo.

[freshslicepizza]

rather expensive for most to buy a $400 ps4 pro just for its exclusives and a windows 10 capable pc that can play xbox one games decently. which explains why most software sales on the ps4 are for games like call of duty, battlefield, witcher 3 and fallout 4. good if that works for you but we all know what your true intentions are which explains why you bring up the pc in most xbox articles but dont in ps4 console exclusive game articles (such as no mans sky). weird how that works isn't it?

[ShadowKnight]

So what's my true intentions Moldybread??🤔

[DashArrivals]

Dude. It's one of the biggest points. PS4 has many more quality exclusives. Xbox really does not have any. Especially for people with a capable PC. I installed a 'cracked' version of Windows 10, just so I can play these games if I choose to. I recently played a cracked version of Ori And The Blind Forest by 'fitgirl'. I'm not ashamed to say it.
PC gaming owners who want a console... will now just choose PS4. It's a no-brainer. PS4 has exclusives. Xbox doesn't. I'm sorry. It's the truth.

[Yohshida]

Both have different exclusives

You get the better sp games on PlayStation

You get the better mp games on Xbox

Just depends what kind of gamer you are. For me, I play most of the time online with friends, so its a no brainer. But I still like me some sp Action for a day or two and play the ps4 exclusives.

[Pancit_Canton]

Should we feel sorry on his behalf or what? I don't really get this kinda article or why do you need emphasize that we need one.

[raggy-rocket]

Well I'm sure we can all expect these comments to be reasonable and sensible...

[AndreR]

i too will make the switch to nintendo switch =)

[Elda]

From XBO to Switch?...oh ok.

[xHeavYx]

"tries out games like Gears of
War 4, Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare"
Great exclusi.... oh wait

[Nodoze]

PSN doesn't hold a candle to XBL?? Because you can change your name?? Hmmm I smell a troll here.

[Pancit_Canton]

Plot twist.

His friend Joe is actually his left hand.

[Lennoxb63]

PSN doesn't hold a candle to XBL because MS servers are the fastest in the world right now.

@DashArrivals
Never said PSN was bad. It's just nowhere near XBL's level for a logical reason. MS houses the fastest server infrastructure on Earth. Why would PSN even be in the same conversation? PSN gets the job done and that's all that most people need. But to deny the fact that MS has a much better online service and give me 100 disagrees isn't going to change anything.

[DashArrivals]

Everyone says these things, but I AM TELLING YOU, the Playstation network is totally fine. I play online games all the time. It's fine and honestly, no one cares. It's not a factor IN ANYONE'S purchasing of the PS4. You Xbox people really need to stop spouting that crap, because we really don't care. We care most about exclusives and having a hell of a lot more of them and having a diverse library of games. That's what we care about. PSN works FINE.

[FGHFGHFGH]

Any proof MS has the fastest server infrastructure? Faster than Google? Even if they did, their servers are used for a lot more than just gaming. And when you play games like battlefield, you are using ea's servers anyway.

https://www.reddit.com/r/xb...

[UntrainedN00B01]

Psn works fine..... Just don't have any payment info stored......

[vega275]

I've made the jumo during the ps2 day's and never looked back.

[sammarshall102]

Great decision!

[Aenea]

So, when are you going to do the same as he did Sam?

Try out the other console for 30 days and then keep 'm both in the end? :)

[richyque]

Funny how you can play all those games listed on ps4 and in the case of GOW4 on pc. So why did he switch to xboxone?

[Specter229]

Because he didn't have to buy a fancy PC to enjoy them?

[starchild]

Oh please. I'm sick of you fake PC gamers. You're only PC gamers when it gives you an excuse to hate on the Xbox. Every other time I don't see you guys defending the PC or talking up the advantages of the PC.

In fact, people like you actively go out of your way to attack the PC and PC gamers.

Here are some of your (richyque's) recent comments:

"Its really easy to buy that $800 gpu when most of the "master race" torrent their games. Good on rockstar for making RDR2 console exclusive."

"There is no reason for R* not to bring RDR 2 to PC. Ha. Thats the biggest joke i hear all day, the reason console gamers get all the blockbusters games 1st is because we actually pay full price for the games and they know that more than 60% of pc gamers will torrent the game."

If you really had gaming PCs you'd be playing most of your games on PC, not playing distantly second-rate versions on your PS4. And you wouldn't be badmouthing PC gaming and hyping up the PS4 every chance you get.

So please cut the act. Most of you guys aren't playing games like Gears of War or Quantum Break on your imaginary PCs.

[richyque]

I cant play on port begging pc race games like > inFAMOUS: Second Son,Until Dawn,God of War III Remastered, GOW 4, N++,Dragon Quest Builders,persona 5, MLB 17 the show, Resogun,Uncharted 4,Ratchet & Clank, days gone, last of us, The Witness,Bloodborne, horizon, driveclub, detroit ETC.

I can list many more but the port begging race gets what im saying.

[Yohshida]

Not sure but n++ and the witness already are on PC

[lastking95]

Lol you've been exposed

[YAO-BLING]

SAID NO ONE EVER, LOL

[sammarshall102]

People have and will continue to do so. People like different things

[Aenea]

Yeah, indeed, he still likes his PS4 more tho, but is keeping the Xbox One S around.

You didn't actually watch the video huh? Just read the headline?

[EddieNX]

I did

[Paytaa]

I prefer my Xbox One to my PS4 and use it everyday. PS4 is still sick for the exclusives and I'll always continue buying Playstation for that reason.

[BizarroUltraman]

That my way of think too. I prefer Xbox but I cant miss out on Playstations great catalog, Ive been a supporter since PS1. Same with Nintnedo but no Wii U. I got my 3DS XL for Ninty games.

[Elda]

If you like only multi plat games with the exception of the same usual 3 to 4 a year console exclusives then choose an XBO.If you like a vast diverse library of console exclusives from the east & west then you go PS.

[Specter229]

Or you go both and enjoy it all.

[Shineon]

yeah gotta get them all!!! lol

[Strikepackage Bravo]

PS4 absolutely does NOT have a vast diverse library of console exclusives from the east and west. It has a bunch of weird Japanese crap no one plays, from the east, and a few Xbox live arcade games that are on Playstation this go round, from the west, its trash, why do people keep claiming that console has so much going for it in the games department when there is literally nothing worth playing on it this holiday that i cant play on an Xbox?

[Elda]

It's evident you're in complete denial this year alone PS4 has released well over 10 to 15 console exclusives with 2 more by the year end.There are at least 6 console exclusives being released in the first quarter of 2017 while XBO has no dates for any console exclusives.SMH & LMAO!

[Shineon]

man your just asking people to downvote you this is N4g say good things about playstation

[DashArrivals]

WHY are you lying? PS has so many more exclusives and more diverse game library than ANYTHING on XBOX... BY FAR... and it's not even close.

[VoodooProject]

PS4 feels old. Felt like they never updated it since the PS3. The Xbox One S UI feels fancy and the system has a 4k UHD Blu-ray drive. Wish PS4 had party chat as well.

[Paytaa]

PS4 does have party chat. Has had it since day one.

[DashArrivals]

THAT is simply NOT TRUE. PS4 was such an obvious advancement from the PS3 the moment I booted the PS4 up. NO one buys 4k Blu-rays. When was the last time the majority of people popped a blu-ray movie disc into their consoles? Why do you think nation wide chains of BLOCKBUSTER closed down?
PS4 does have party chat. Who are you?

[Benchm4rk]

"NO one buys 4k Blu-rays. When was the last time the majority of people popped a blu-ray movie disc into their consoles? "

Umm I bought one last week and watch it recently. Granted it was 2009 Star Trek and didn't really offer any visual advantage overy the standard Blu Ray but to say Noone buys them is completely false. The store I went to did have Star Trek Into the Darkness aswell but when I went to buy it it was gone. Girl at the register said it was sold and they were waiting on another copy. So now you know there are 2 people buying them lol.

[VoodooProject]

Because of vending machines like Redbox.

[Aenea]

Okay, sure buddy, saying that the PS4 feels old and then saying it has no party chat really gives all of us the feeling you don't actually own/tried one!

[Liqu1d]

"Wish PS4 had party chat as well"

Good job exposing yourself lol.

[welly300]

Well they need all the help they can get :) I've tried to like xbox but the ui is a pain.

[LoneBadger]

Just buy both. Two capable machines with excellent pros for both and equally as bad flaws.

[Phill-Spencer]

I'm sure for every ps4 owner switching to x1, there are 3 x1 owners switching to ps4^^

[Specter229]

I only clicked the article to read the war literature.

[Zarock]

Title should be an Idiot shot himself In the head.

[zb1ftw777]

Don't do that.

You have everything to live for !!

[zb1ftw777]

Good move.

[MADGameR]

He will sorely regret that as soon as PS4 Pro launches :D

[Strikepackage Bravo]

Ps4 pro is ps4 with another $400 price tag and nothing to show for it. Slightly improved graphics on A FEW games is not worth another 400bux. No one will have any reason to regret not buying that money grab...

[thejigisup]

There are plenty of people looking to buy a ps4 for the first time. There is an sku for everyone, I think the pro is very enticing for those new to this console generation that want the best machine out there. Personally I'm looking into giving my sister my ps4 and I'm going to purchase the pro and psvr this month. I don't know why you call it a money grab, I see the value and am more than willing to pay for a substantial upgrade.

[Aenea]

Then MS better stop with this Scorpio nonsense then too huh, since it will be the same price or higher and will not have much to show for it next year either since I highly doubt it will have that much better looking games!

[Sirk7x]

I have not for a minute regretted buying an Xbox One. I see the value in owning a PS4, but made my decision regarding a few choice factors, such as controller preference, Xbox Live, UI, and not wanting to miss out on the Halo franchise. Regardless of your console of preference, there's plenty to play for everyone.

[iTechHeads]

Who cares? LOL

'Joe tries out games like Gears of
War 4, Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. Can
the Xbox One S sway this PlayStation fanboy over to the green side of the
aisle?'

All those games are available on PS4 lol.(except Gears) If you're going to switch gaming platform to play the same exact games then what's the point?

[Aenea]

To test out how the other system feels?

That is the problem with a lot of the fans of consoles on either side, they're not willing to try out the other console. Every vocal fan around here should try the other console for 30 days and then be honest and tell what they thought of it...

[Benchm4rk]

Im a Day One Xbox One owner and I'm picking up a PS4 Pro this week. Even though I own a PS3 I've never played an Uncharted game or The Last of Us or a God of War game. Looking forward to playing through those games and I'll definitely give my impressions at a later date.

[UCForce]

Well, you can play both console.

[BigGamersSmallTalk]

Nice to see someone who hate so much distaste for Xbox One make the switch. Ideally, gamers should probably own all consoles (although not everyone can afford this). I use my PS4 strictly for the few exclusives, but obviously Xbox One is where I go for multiplats, those exclusives and anything online (Xbox Live).

[Lime123]

You like to play inferior multiplats?

[jznrpg]

Sony has Pro coming out VR and the best first party studios imo along with Nintendo. PlayStation and Nintendo for me.

[Skankinruby]

Now that's how you kill the mood for an entire evening

[DashArrivals]

This is fake and forced. It's obvious click bait video. Looks like it worked.

[Pantz]

Who cares??????

[jwillj2k4]

makes a jump to play 3rd party games

[LAWSON72]

I recently ditched Xbox and am going back to SP only gaming. I have a PC for Xbox exclusives I have to play. IMO the only reason to game on Xbox, or any system really, is if your friends are there and/or you play the exclusives a lot. Buy a system for its games and what those games offer on that system, whether it be content, tech improvements, or friends.

[whitesoxfalife1976]

i see everybody dont see the big picture of the vid, yes he did use 3rd party for his point and so to his point is to show how differently that same game plays on an xbox simple as that.

[jorellpogi]

No news here. If you can afford, then enjoy both consoles. I was planning of getting X1 this December but the PS4 Pro is very enticing to compliment my spanking new 4k 55" Sony Android TV.

Not for me, I am getting my new PS4 Pro this weekend :D

[Trekster_Gamer]

I own both !

Best of both worlds for me!

[Inzo]

Slow day?

Coming from a non biased gamer here who owns all 3 and has owned every console since NES/Sega Master system days..... as well a veteran games retailer.

The PS4 is the far superior console for user experience. The Xbox One is a solid console, however in comparison to the 360 even as user experience goes it is very poor in comparison. Menus/layout is cumbersome, however there are some solid exclusive titles, and the controller is awesome especially for shooters (feedback triggers etc)

Pro tip: Follow the games not the console. If you enjoy Halo, Gears and Forza stick with Xbox, if you enjoy Uncharted, Gran Turismo etc go with the PS4.

Love both for different reasons but i do primarily buy most of my third party games on PS4 due to not the graphics performance but the fact i can install a game in under a minute and get playing.

[ifrit_caress]

The PS4 has awesome games but the online community is not so good. If you are into single player games, then stick with PS4, for multiplayer games, XBONE.

I bought a One S last month. While it's great to play the games I couldn't before like dead rising and I adore gears. The system itself I think is trash. Not being able to play a game as it updates. Only updating one thing at a time. I know there's an option for a sleep mode but it should be an offer made on each power down not going into settings and messing about.

The UI is horrendous and over complicated. The marketplace is a joke. It's just all too slow. And I know it's well known they don't but jesus Microsoft it's 2016 put rechargeable batteries in all your controllers please.

I still look forward to trying out quantum break and a few others, but this will be far from my system of choice

[MagicBeanz]

More efforts to sell people on xbox.............no sale.

[Chris12]

More efforts to downplay Xbox.......no credibility

[xer0]

Wow - Dude sounds like an MS Fanboy.
Typically, they always say it's not about the consoles... then continue to heap praise on their platform of choice.

Really, he should be comparing Xbox One S to the PS4 Pro.., since they are both mid generation consoles.

[ClickbaitAF]

PS4Pro is a mid gen upgrade and X1S is just a slim version of the OG X1...

[xer0]

We both know that's not entirely accurate. Xbox One S is an upgrade.
4K streaming, ultra blu-ray drive and video game upscaling were introduced in Xbox One S.
Also, the power brick was eliminated.

If Xbox One S is not counted as a mid gen upgrade.., then you'll need to come back with a better argument.
The original Xbox One is not capable of anything 4K.

[nOoka]

bet ya anything that he's a xbox fan boy pretending to switch to xbox lol, 90 percent of that shit he's saying doesn't make sense and this video its pointless.

[RyanShutup]

Lol good luck with that guy who wrote this article.

[InTheZoneAC]

let me just leave games behind to play multiplatform games...right...LOL!

When I had a 360 and ps3, I just felt so disconnected on the 360 like I was missing out on so much. Only a couple games had my interest but it wasn't worth it. On playstation I'm just surrounded by support and content. Playing with friends on ps3 was natural while on 360 it felt like "paid" friends if that makes any sense lol

[gazgriff2k12]

A gamer no one gives two f**ks about!

[Spartacus10]

Still got the PS4 but I got an xbox one in protest to Sony being lazy this gen.
PS+ is shit compared to last gen (despite price increase), not as many exclusives coming out as last gen (even fewer new IP's), and taking ages to give people what they asked for in updates. Then they are wasting time and resources on stalled projects which have no potential like vita, PS Now and VR (I'll take the hate for this, but I know everyone really knows its just going to end up like PS Move - fancy tech, not enough software support, wont be around next gen).

Yeah MS cocked up at the start, but since then, they have outdone Sony in every department and as a gamer, I will reward them by buying games on their console rather than the one that is going backwards.

[Sm3000]

Is it not possible to like both?

Attn haydothepotato: I realized that a while ago and it rubs me the wrong way as well. Funny thing is, I'm team sony

Attn magicbeanz: no, his comment still stands true

[n1kki6]

Is it illegal to own multiple platforms?

[Babadook7]

I'm not surprised one person made the switch.

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

Considering only one game hes playing is an xbox one exclusives...I don't think so.

[FunAndGun]

I barely have enough time for one console, forget trying to add another library of games to my backlog.

[Darksonic22]

I want to make the move, though I have so many games on the PlayStation. My reason to move is due to the hacks that keep happening. Me and my partner share bank account but I used my old card I had as a student now and then for the overdraft if we're out of money, for an emergency. Anyway I woke up and found some items had been bought on my account, Never Winter Zen points, so I contact Paypal in which they investigate the issue, I go to PlayStation to say look my account has been hacked what do I do to get my money back.... So they ban me!!!! THEY BAN ME for getting robbed, oh and this happened to hundreds of people, we gathered many people on Twitter who went through the same thing. Sony wouldn't offer answers for ages, I called daily for 2 weeks and the first couple days they said it's because I chose to dispute with Paypal, well err yeah if a payment comes out from nowhere you go to your bank/paypal to check why right? Well Sony ban you for doing that, apparently you have to go to them so anyway I give them the money that Paypal gives to me and i'm still banned for 2 weeks, I keep telling them look you've got the money, I obeyed every instruction, I just got lied to mostly, fed up, pissed off. Anyway eventually I was unbanned, the hacks still happen a lot but I don't trust Sony, I don't like how it was dealt with, so it's the reason I'd rather go to the Xbox. Will Xbox do the same? Maybe, but i haven't had an issue like this with them.... Yet. but my faith in Sony has gone, I got banned for being robbed and the thief has free money with no action taken against them.

[mearl74]

We'll be here when you come back. See you in a bit.

[LastCenturyRob]

Y'know, a person can purchase a second or even third console...No one is forced to stay at just one.

[tdogg]

Well I own both. I play all single player games on ps4 and all multiplayer online games on xb1

[Indigon]

Poorer Japanse support is why I wouldn't follow his steps.

[Razzer]

To each their own. For myself, it is all about Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nioh, Nier.....etc. My console choice goes where my gaming interests take me as it has from the start of this gen.

Plus....I own a Windows 10 gaming PC. Xbox One is pretty irrelevant to me at this point.

[alfcrippinjr]

why would people be doing that unless they want a full media center in there living room
which Microsoft wanted from the start to put there unit in everyone living room.

i play the ps4 more then my xbox one
there hardly any games out for it

sony has a bigger library of games

[tigertron]

I have both, love both.

[mastershredder]

Cringe all the way around.

[Dannylew]

Probably when he realize what xbox is in reality... switch to ps4 pro or 5 .

Sometime people have to try things to better understand and appreciate what have and what is the best/good.

[IamTylerDurden1]

He should probably switch back come tomorrow (PS4 Pro).
