Forums - Gaming Discussion - Changing lead platforms for the first time since 1998.

With most mid and high end Tv's from 2017 and beyond (not even including chromecast, firetv and apple tv) being able to do far more than Xbox or PlayStation on the multimedia side the only thing that will matter to consoles in the very near future are videogames. That's why your expectation of people leaving the ps camp is only based on emotion that's not supporting the truth. Especially when most people don't experience those issues.

You know what I think will happen. All those services will seem good on the surface but they don't provide any real value in the long run since it will never be your own. It might make gaming become stale and for the top games you'd still have to buy the few or just watch trailer for the really good PlayStation exclusives.

Damn you've committed the no1 sin on VGC, though you have valid reasons to be upset. Xbox's first party needs some work but it seems to be on the right track with the recent additions. You say lead platform so I'll assume you're probably going to buy ps5 down the line when it's cheap to play the exclusives, what I usually do for my non-main consoles (you shouldn't deny yourself of games/franchises you like). Hope you have a better experience with Xbox.

number one sin is liking xbox, people should know this

Yeah, I will always own every console in a generation, as long as I can afford it. Going forward though, Xbox will be the console I lean on for 3rd party games, media, and productivity. 

I still have PS4 Pro and Switch. I will be getting all VR content on PSVR, I will continue to buy PS Exclusive games, and Switch Exclusives, but I am done paying 3rd party royalties to Sony and Nintendo if they are not going to support their platforms. When my Refrigerator is better at web browsing and media playback than my Console and my TV, there is a serious problem in my book.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

This is also why Switch literally doesn't have any of those features and judging by sales nobody in the real world gives a s**t.

PlayStation has finally drove me away. 

For the last 1 1/2 they have completely abandoned PS4. They have stopped supporting any of their services (outside of PlayStation Vue), PSN is down more and more every month, and the OS is getting worse and worse. What the hell are we paying for with PS+?

I've literally experienced none of these :/. 

Me neither, in fact it's never been down once when I've played it since having a ps4 :/



i don't get what's the point of this topic? are we supposed to mourn the loss of you on multiplat games?

changing lead platforms implies that some developer swapped the platform they code for, not that some rando user will play multiplats somewhere else, that is a non topic



Bye, then. PS is my main home. PSN is rarely ever down for me and i have no problems with the OS. Playstation has a more broad array of console exclusives for me, as well.

If Switch can manage to reach 3DS numbers I will agree. I doubt it though. Just like Handhelds died due to Sony and Nintendos inability to offer the most basic features, I see PlayStation falling off a cliff as well. Nintendo already killed off their Home/Handheld business, and have went to a Hybrid catch all platform, to get whats left of their userbase on a single platform.

Microsoft is the only current console company looking at the long term health of consoles. Sony and Nintendo will be replaced by Apple and Google in due time, if they don't expand their platforms.
