Xbox One is the best console if you don't care about exclusive new games - The Verge

[VAMatt]

I'll tell ya, as an owner of a PS4 Pro, XB1, and Switch, I agree with his underlying point. I play more on my PS4 Pro though, because its simply the most powerful system that I own.

With that said....

I play shooters on XB exclusively, as the controller is much better than the DS4. And you can even take it up another notch if you invest in an Elite controller. The Switch controllers all feel like kids toys in comparison to the XB (or even the DS4). There's also the terrible battery life of the DS4 to consider, but I've learned to live with it.

I make sure to always check my "free" games from XBL every month because there's usually at least one good one per month. I mostly stopped checking for the "free" games from PS+ cuz there's hardly any worth worrying about. Switch obviously has nothing to offer in this regard yet. (I'll note that PS+ games are better than they used to be. That's something at least.)

The XB UI is better. I will say though that the 10 different versions they've rolled out since launch have annoyed me a bit. PS has definitely been more consistent. Switch....I guess I don't have a strong opinion about it yet.

BC - well, I don't really use it much. But, it is nice to know that it is there, and maybe once a year I pop something old in and play. The fact that PS has not implemented this has really frustrated me though, as there are a lot of PS3 games that I'd like to play. Switch won't be able to play old physical media obviously, and VC type stuff remains to be seen.

On the flipside......

The PS4 library is clearly much better than XBone. It doesn't come in to play a whole lot for me, as I'm not into JRPGs. But still, there are probably 2-3 PS exclusives per year that I care about, vs. 1-2 on XB. Switch may have the most exclusives that I want, but the 3rd party library is so weak that its really not comparable.

And that's really all I can think of where the PS4 wins, at least for me.
