I'd put together a decent gaming PC... but I won't do that either.

As for consoles, I already have a baker's dozen hooked up to my home theater. I'm not really too keen to add anything expensive to the setup. I have a Switch and PS4 and I'm all set for current gen ATM.

Right now, my wallet’s plate is full until x-mas, but early next year, I’ll be sure to get it. I prefer the first party outings from Sony and Nintendo, but considering MS’s push for enhanced retro compatibility, the fact that the X doubles as a UHD player, and considering I’m coming late in the gen to finally game on X-Box, which means there are now enough good exclusives that interest me, and with my TV starving for 4K content, and... It costs much less than what my next PC will cost me (which I keep pushing the purchase back xD)...

I’ll be getting the X in the coming months.

Probably right in time for Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

If i didnt have them already and had to make a choice, i would get a second hand PS4 and a Switch over an Xbox One X.
But since I do already have them (PS4 Pro + Switch), I'd rather buy games for the PS4 and Switch over an Xbox One X.

The sad reality is that the Xbox One X is going to be the first console/console upgrade since the Snes that I did not buy on day one, there just isn't a pull for me at all with the whole "it's 4k guys" thing, and the fact that all of the consoles games I can buy for PC, for less just makes it seem like an entirely pointless purchase, so I've not preordered one, and won't be picking one up any time soon, or in the foreseeable future.

If my launch console ever dies (which is unlikely since it's only ever really used to play videos off of the NAS server), i *might* just replace it with an Xbox One X depending on the pricing at that entirely arbitrary point, but only if an Xbox One S isn't available new at that time too.

The depressing thing about this is that I can probably see myself treating the next Xbox console release in the same way, and skipping it entirely and sticking with PlayStation and Nintendo.

Microsoft have slowly diluted the Xbox brand to a point where it's tasteless and unappetizing, where as it's competition just keep on perfecting their formula and making their offerings tastier with each passing year.

I got a PC for games so ps4 pro all way., and even with a PC i only got 2 indies games from microsoft exlusivity so ^^

WHY would anybody choose the Xbox one x over a PS4 pro or even a standard PS4?
Sony console is lightyears the better console to own. It’s games we want and it’s games that Sony’s console has much more of than Microsoft’s and it’s also still pumping them out while Microsoft just sits there doing nothing.

Feel good thread of the year!

So nice of you to ask. Yes, I would buy a PC rather than a PS4 Pro. Dunno why I would call it Xbox One X though.

I'm sure you're still referring to me with that last part, but rest assured, no changes in preference regarding resolution here, friend. Scorpio is about a lot more than true 4k, don't fall for the PR :) Either way, I'm glad you at least have an idea about what you think my opinion is, even if it's misguided. That's better than the adorable fishing you used to do in every single Scorpio thread lol.

Neither. If I'd ever get a Playstation or XBox, I'd take the cheapest version. There doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between the cheap and the expensive models.

So the difference between X1X to PS4Pro is higher than from PS4 to X1??? Seems just like that MS PR person saying X1X wouldn't compete with Pro, because it was so above that PS4Pro would be competing with X1S.

And you could potentially be buying a 4K TV in the next 4 years... so if you don't have any 8th gen console a X1X or PS4Pro would be a better choice (if money allows), but for most the upgrade isn't worthwhile unfortunatelly (even if they have 4k set).

Errr no... Nintendo > PS >>>>>> PC > X1 in representation here.

Well, Sony have said in all PR that PS4 is beating their expectations and X1X have had 2 batches of pre-order filled and there is backorder, so it be a success.
