Nailed it.

I would be a full-on PC gamer if not for exclusive games.

I have not been particularly impressed with the PS4 as a whole, and the fact that it lacks backwards compatibility and doesn't play CD's kind of pisses me off. I will probably sell it after I've had a chance to play Spider-Man and get a XB1. The backwards compatibility is a big deal to me.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

I assume that it has the capability to play CDs though? And just doesn't use it for royalty reasons? At least that's how it was with the Wii.

Well if he want to have a gigantic library of old games he could buy a PS2 for himself... or a PC.

Or Sony could just implement BC so I can play my PS1-PS3 games on my PS4.

You had your thread on that =p

Not sure.  PS1 - PS3 could all play CDs.  I have no idea why that function was taken away on PS4.

If u care about bc that much then u should play on PC.giving bc priority over new games is backward thinking.

One of the main reasons I love PC gaming in general are two important things. Graphics and Library. X1X offers those two in the console space. Plus the Xbox Controller and Live service are great bonuses. It will only get better as more 1st party games arrive. In the mean time as a hardware perspective, its definitely the best thing on the market.

I would agree if the PS4 actually had a good library.  It kind of sucks.  I mean I read multiple threads on this site praising Shadow of Colossus, for example, when it was released on PS4.  If the PS4's library is so good, then why are so many people praising Shadow of Colossus?  Don't they have better games than this one that came out two generations ago?  Guess not.

There are a lot of great PS2 and PS3 games that I don't want to buy again.  If Sony expects me to buy them again on PS4, then I'll just sell the PS4 and play the older versions of the game.

The bolded makes your idea to exchange a PS4 for a  XBO hilarious, and the rest of the post is just cancerous.
