In a lot of ways the PS4 has caught up with and even surpassed the Xbox One in my home but the Xbox One is still my preferred gaming platform. As I often mention, there's one under every TV. Why?
-Better browser and apps so I can pretty much watch movies from torrent sites without any issues (download the Monument Browser app and you won't get pop ups!)
-Control my TV with voice commands. 3/4 of my TVs aren't really that smart. It's easy for me to just say "Turn to CNN" or "Volume up".
- Better cloud saves. It's common for me to start a game in my game room and then continue it in bed. I just turn the system off in one room, turn it on in another room and pick up right where I left off.
-Game Pass Ultimate. Tons of games I was definitely going to buy or I was on the fence about are right there to download. I was waiting on Bloodstained to get fixed for the Switch. Now it's virtually mine for the taking. Wasn't too fond of the new Devil May Cry 5 but I can play the whole game right now if I want.
-Better performance on lots of games. I'm not a "performance guy" but owning both consoles I always wanted the best version I could. The PS4 was my console for exclusives and 3rd party games. The Xbox was for whatever wasn't on PS4 (I'm not a PC gamer). Now the PS4 is for exclusives and the Xbox One X is for everything else.
-better media player. Pretty much anything I download from my PC to an external HDD will run on my Xbox One. Not so with the PS4 last time I checked. Imagine my disgust when I couldn't watch VR porn!
I know it's all about the games and if I only owned one PS4 and one Xbox One most of these factors wouldn't even matter. Most won't matter to most gamers. Hell the Switch doesn't do much besides play games and that's perfectly fine. But , in my home, every console has its worth and the Xbox One definitely has earned its place.
Everything connected in my game room right now:
-PC: browsing the web. Downloading shit.
-Switch: gaming on the go
-PS4: PlayStation exclusives. VR.
-Xbox One: Microsoft shit. Game Pass. 3rd party stuff.
-Wii U: Porn viewer.
-Oculus Go: VR porn viewer.
-PS3 and Xbox 360: My hundreds of 7th gen games.
A place for everything and everything in its place...
