Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Just swapped my PS4 for an Xbox One.

It sounds like you made a mistake buying the PS4 in the first place if you love the Xbox exclusives, although the first year of a consoles life-cycle is always rough! I hope you enjoy your new console a lot and you didn't lose too much money in the trade!

Why did you buy the PS4 in the first place then? If the Xbox has the exclusives you wanted why didn't you just get it first. I never understand this.

Nice purchase, looking forward to getting one if Quantum Break is any good.

Bought it to sell for $399AU to sell it at a profit (they go for $549AU). Couldn't find any buyers willing to pay $450 or more so I just decided to swap it for the Xbox.

You even made a thread about it. You're basically the reason why I'm a PS4 owner but I lost your thread when I wanted to thank you :)

It was a sweet deal!

Also, first impressions are pretty good overall. I'll be getting some actual games this week but I've played a bit of the Killer Instinct and Forza Horizon 2 demos. Both seem pretty great. The box itself and controller are uglier than the PS4 but the controller is pretty comfortable. Not sure if I like it better than the 360 controller yet, but it's close. Compared to the DS4 it's basically a draw.

Kinect seems pretty useless as it doesn't recognise my gestures or voice most of the time, so I'll probably end up unplugging it unless it's a really good alternative for a headset. I'll find out soon enough with all the great games coming. Looking forward to MCC, Sunset Overdrive and after playing Bayonetta/2, I'm really looking forward to Scalebound as well.

I'm very happy with my decision to swap, as at the end of the day it's all about the games and the Xbox One has the exclusives I want.

So why you didn't buy XOne first ? You didn't know about Forza, Halo, etc ?  You also owned a 360...

You lied, my opinion.

You owned a 360, you want the exclusives you like ---> you buy a PS4 ----> then you swapped your PS4 for an XOne ----> you must be either crazy or you're lieing.   I think you never had a PS4...

haha. So it wasnt because of games as you said in the OP. I would just remove that part of the OP because its obvious youre stealthing for nerdrage and its pointless along with the thread title, why can't it just be "Just got an Xbox One" or "Couldn't sell my PS4 for profit so I finally got an Xbox One" But I digress. Enjoy.

No, but I did try the games (the ones I couldn't get on PC) and they didn't appeal to me as much as the Xbox One games.

It's actually tough to find an Xbox One with Kinect here for less that $550AU. I paid $399 for the PS4 so in a way I got the better deal. The guy swapping with me was pretty pumped though. He won the Xbox One in a competition and was a PS gamer so he drove an hour to swap with me. He basically got his PS4 for free (minus fuel).

Thread title is borderline. I just got an X1 would have sufficed. The title is just put like so to try to bait the more extreme. Stomping on them at first sight instead of just changing the title seems like much more work, and does look questionable too. Bet if someone made a thread right this minute, titled, just traded my X1 for a PS4, it would be shut down immediately for some bogus reason. Don't make me prove myself right ;)



Thanks jlmurph!

You know that's a nasty accusation, right? It's also false. I've had people on here add me. PSN ID is: l0ck_nuts350
