Owning both of those platforms already certainly does minimize the necessity of a PS4. While we can agree that there likely isn't enough reason for you to purchase a PS4, I believe we can agree that people coming in from 7th have good reason to get a PS4 over an XB1. That said, they share a large percentage of their libraries already, so it's not a very wide margin for PS4's favor. |
Not really because this thread is only comparing 2016.... which is a huge year for PS4 and a good year for Xbox One.
IMO the XB1 has a better lineup then PS4 before 2016, they now offer backward compability and most of the time the console is cheaper then PS4.
It would also be much cheaper to buy 1 or 2 year old games then jumping in now just to buy the new release games. Even if they buy a PS4 in 2016, I would advice them to buy discounted game like Witcher 3, Batman, Fallout 4, Bloodbone, etc and ignore new release until they get a price drop.
If you own or wanted to play old Xbox 360 games, I would say get a XB1. If you live in North America or UK, both consoles are pretty much neck to neck.
