Youre actually agreeing with me, PS4 alone isnt as good as more options. You have a gaming PC for that reason.

Also, the OP said he plays maybe 5 to 10 hours a week. Thats an avid gamer in my opinion. He could finish all the notable PS4 games in a few months at that rate. Unless hes a fan of niche Japanese stuff.

So, because I'm a dork, I've done the math on this using the main+extras times from Howlongtobeat. I've included the notable remasters since he didn't have a PS3.

NDC = 30 hours

Bloodborne = 45 hours

Uncharted 4 = 17 hours

R&C = 11.5 hours

Infamous SS = 14 hours

TLOU:R = 17.5 hours

GOWIII:R = 10.5 hours

Until Dawn = 9 hours

The Witness = 25.5 hours

Driveclub = 35 hours

SFV = 2.5 hours

MLB 2016  = 39 hours

 

Assuming that he plays 7.5 hours a week, plays all of those games and nothing else, it would take him about 8 months to play all of them.

 

Of course, games will be coming out in that 6 month stretch as well. But it would still likely take him less than a year to get all caught up on "notable" PS4 games.

I'd like to reiterate that I agree with you that he probably shouldn't get rid of his Xbox One, but I totally understand him just not having the time to support two consoles.

This is an excellent assessment haha. I have 14 games right now (not including all the monthly free downloads on Live). Of the 14 games, I finished Dead Rising 3, Ryse, and Defense Grid 3 (I bought my Xbox Day One Edition on release day). I'm playing the Master Chief Collection now cuz I never got to play the originals, I'm barely in the beginning of Halo 2. I have some RPGs in my lineup. No sports games and 3 family games cuz the fiancee is not a gamer, doesn't care for gaming and I promise her I would find something for her to use so she would let me buy it. So the 3 casual are Fantasia, Just Dance, and Zumba. 

I used to love JRPGs and third person adventure games. Still, do actually. I do like the Xbox but I think the JRPGs are calling me hence the itch to want to switch. Will I have time to play them? I'll be lucky if the fiancee lets me. But I really want to play the Final Fantasy 7 Remake so unless it comes ou to Xbox One I think I'm leaning towards switching. I might get a Roku (I tried to get a Roku TV but the fiancee wanted the dang Samsung TV from Costco which does have incredible image quality).

I don't have a SlingTV subscription, and so far what I have read from Vue doesn't really grabs my attention. The one thing I did like of SlingTV when I did the free trial was  being able to watch some shows that already aired. Does Vue have that too? Is there like a DVR option with the PS4 and the Vue app?
