I would prefer as little of an OS as possible. The 20 sec cold boot start from the ps4 pro is already kinda long. All I use is start game and the capture gallery, while occasionally checking something in the internet browser which works fine with a quick double tap of the ps button.  Netflix is on the tv nowadays. PS store works pretty fast here. I only use it to check the VR games and add the monthly ps+ games to my library.

I am getting more tempted to buy an X, with 3 FH games. The bundles here suck though. There's a $600 Fallout 76 or Battlefield V or NBA 2K19 or PUBG bundle, no Forza one. $600 standalone as well, $200 more than I paid at launch for ps4, $100 more than at launch for ps4 pro. (Spiderman pro bundle is also still $500) A $499 FH 4 bundle would tempt me yet it seems price cuts for the pro versions are not on the horizon?

Anyway no hurry. Too many other games to play right now. Plus the difference between checkerboard 4K and real 4K is lost on me from the couch. It's just that the X promises to run FH4 at 60fps in 1080p, which would be nice.

I wouldn't say it is odd. Certain platforms fit better in certain areas of my home.

I.E. Loungeroom is my Xbox One X.
Computer Room is obviously my PC's.
Bedroom is the Playstation.

And there is a reason why those devices are in those areas.

Xbox One X is a media powerhouse, so it fits better with my theater system.
My PC's are powerful, but loud and hot... So better off in a separate room.
The Playstation 4 has more "lazier" games that I like and faster install times so I can drop a game in and start gaming faster. (Bedtime is a premium for me.)

Some days I might just wanna sit in the computer room, sometimes just lay in bed and play the Playstation... Or sit in the loungeroom with friends on the Xbox One X.

And I really don't play any console exclusives, not because they aren't good... But they just don't interest me, but that's just me.

People need to stop thinking that PS+ is paying for servers. They're not charging you because they can't afford good servers without it. They're charging you because they can.

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+?

Microsoft on the other hand has completely revamped the XBO this year. The OS has made massive strides, and is now well ahead of the PS4 OS. They upgraded Edge on XBO, and it now functions almost 1 to 1 with PC (just needs Mouse Support). With that upgrade they brought the ability to download Files, Photos, Music, Videos, Zips, Rars, etc., and they are all accessable right on XBO via the File Explorer and through multiple apps on the Xbox Store.

Their Video store offers 4K HDR content, and just joined Video Anywhere. They are offering Cross Play, which I could care less about, but at least they are not hunkering down in their cave. XBO is gainging more productivity and quality of life apps and features every week. 

Then we have B/C, Xbox Play Anywhere, and Game Pass. Game Pass, for $10 a month gives access to all 1st party games with new releases available on day one. It is absolutely ridiculous value. 

PlayStation has been my main Computing and Entertainment device since 1998. I have bought played, watched, learned, ran business, and more through PlayStation. I have always bought all of my media, and 3rd party games through Sony, even when things were rough, because Sony always delivered new features, innovation, and continual improvement of the products I purchased. That has changed in the last few years. My Bravia's have incradible Picture Quality, but the OS is the worst I have ever used. PS Vita was dropped, and Xperia's are absolute garbage. Now PlayStation and PlayStation Services are going to trash.

For the first time in 20 years, I am changing my main platform. Microsoft has won me over after 17 years of hard work. They have become open, started listening to consumers, and partners. They are building a Platform, that can continually grow, and reach across the entire spectrum of electronics. They have a vision, and they have been open to the public with where they want to go. This is the company that I want to support. So starting this month my $450 a month entertainment budget is moving to Microsoft.

Perhapps Sony can win me back with PS5, but I am not betting on it. I have watched them piss away potential for to long. At this point I am see them closing themselves off, and killing PlayStation, just like they have every other successful product they have ever made. They will refuse to expand PlayStation's  feature set to offer standard functionallity in todays devices, and people will slowly but surely abandon ship.

Yes, the AAA single player games are great, but the rest is terrible. It will catch up to them.

He's talking about Xbox 1 X, not PC.

Also the talk of exclusives are subjective in terms of their quality. PC has exclusives of it';s own that aren't on console and it isn't just 8 either, Pem can tell you that.

Consoles are also their own form of DRM when you look at the big picture, and millions of people are fine using Steam, Uplay, Origin, Epic and Battle.net. THe spyware part is absolutely bogus though. Claiming that those clients are infested with spyware is insane.

My PC is just over 1k by itself and has been doing fine for itself so far at 1440p max settings and going well above 60fps. 4k is not the rule. Also PC isn't completely full of shoddy ports either. 

Man I have no idea why PS Store is so buggy and slow to me. But it is a shitty thing. I just don't get pissed because I look at it just once a week for deals and use it for like under 10 min.

Well you can wait for Black Friday, considering it been 1 year since launch I imagine they will have some good deals this holiday and FH may be part of it. Well and X1X won't do real 4K for most games, but I agree with you that depending on the configuration you won't find much difference. Even DF have said that the use of checkerboard 4K on Pro was quite well done.

I don't have a PS4, and I've not touched my Xbox One in ages since I got the Switch.

Consoles have DRM, but there is still an option to have a physical DRM free version with almost all console games. PC lacks that option for most of its library. I was talking about Windows being spyware, not Steam/Uplay/Origin. And Windows is definitely spyware/nagware.
