Forums - Gaming Discussion - Now Loading: Would You Rather Buy a Xbox One X or PS4 Pro?

I ended up buying a Pro because Gamestop was having a good trade in deal and I'm happy with it. That being said I don't think it's necessary by any means.

I have an Xbox One S and there's no way I'm trading it in to get the X. I honestly think it's silly to spend $500 on a console that doesn't have any games you can't play on a $280 system. But of course people will have different opinions.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

interesting responses on this thread. Apparently only visitors to this site skip all multiplatform games. So, this set of responses would be called a small targeted response size or anecdotal. If people were really honest, why would anyone buy a PS4 pro if they were an "average" gamer? Clearly, based on software sales, the average gamer plays multi platform games. In that case, you would get the XB1X. Better multiplatform game performance, and a UHD drive...

But, the average gamer buys the cheapest most "popular" system, so they wouldn't buy either of these. But now, the enthusiast advanced gamers seem to be saying the no longer want the best console, only the one they bought for that reason three years ago.



It is near the end of the end....

Pro. True the X has better graphics, but I want games!

LOL there was a perfectly placed ad when I saw this post that had a Honda Civic drive to the middle of the picture on the bottom, I thought you were like a master of Internets or something.

Well, games are the reason why people buy consoles. Multi platform games might look marginally better on Xbox One X, though the PS Pro has the same games, in addition to their wider range of first party titles.

Also the average gamer probably won't even notice amuch of a difference between the two consoles in multiplats. Pricing and marketing are a bigger factor imo.

The UHD drive though, is a good addition for value the XB1 X.

Or you know, people might have moved onto better things.. its natural.

Once you experience PC gaming (high end/mid range), it be like driving a Ferrari.. and going back to consoles be like driving a Ford. There's a reason why there's enthusiasts in hobbies. Some people want better things.

Bolded.

You aren't wrong you know.

I started playing Overwatch on Xbox One when it was released.
Then started playing it on PC (As I couldn't on release as I was in the middle of upgrades.) a few months later.

I literally cannot go back to the Xbox version. Not even on the Xbox One X, it is terrible. The controller is akin to being stuck in a wheelchair and the resolution (1080P) is like Vaseline is smeared all over my screen. Just can't do it.

Gamers go where the games are, and that place is PlayStation.

You know this guy is 100% right (me). High quality exclusives is equally a big factor to that.
