Really? How do you gather that? Your suggesting a PS4 because it has more games confirmed than X1, if that’s the reason than I suggest PC because there are a lot more games than PS4 and a whole back catalogue and unlimited amount of apps to choose from. I bet most of them are VR and indie titles as well, something PC also has a lot of. Also 90% of games use controllers, only the RTS and MMOs are exclusive to Mouse and Keyboard since you can’t actually play them on a controller. Your knowledge on PC gaming doesn’t sound good at all.

 I suggested to stay with X1 since there’s hardly any difference between the two consoles. Your only suggestion is PS4 because of the amount of games confirmed... haha you don’t think Games are being made for PC and X1 as well? I don’t recommend owning both X1 and PC. If you have a PC than you don’t need either console since most of PS4 games comes to PC as well, example, SF5 and No Man Sky etc.

 Back to the OP.

 To avoid the hassle and you like using ESPN, just hold onto what you have because switching is not going to make a huge difference plus there are newer consoles around the corner which will most likely drop the current price even more on the older hardware so I suggest wait. The X1 is a great system with some great games coming out like ReCore, Sea Of Thieves, Gears 4 and Horizon 3 just to scrap the surface. Also X1 has a growing back catalogue of 360 games which means you wont need your 360 anymore and can still play your old games without paying for them again like the PS4.

I have been contemplating selling my Xbox One or trading it to get a Playstation 4. I can't deny that there are a lot of games that the PS4 has that I want to play plus I'm somewhat upset Microsoft is letting go of Kinect by removing things like Xbox Fitness. Sadly, I cannot have two consoles seeing how I'm a full-time professional with plenty of work to do plus in a committed relationship about to get married at the end of the year.

So there are a couple of issues before I do make that jump, though. First, I am a wire cutter and the fewer machines I have to watch TV, the better. The reason I enjoy my Xbox One is that I'm pretty casual, and it has the ESPN app and pretty much all the typical apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, and SlingTV, etc. I understand that PS4 does not have ESPN app except on the whole PS Vue I believe. But if I'm correct that PS TV thing charges to use, am I correct?

So let me know if it's worth it to make the switch for someone like me.

By the way Wii U owners, what apps does the Wii U have? I am also considering it if it has the apps I mentioned above.

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.

I am a happy ps vue user and I was against it at first. I thought it was a dumb idea that cost as much as having a tv service.

After awhile I tried the 7 day free trial on a whim and my family loved it over what we had (fios).  

First take: I actually checked my existing costs closer

So I then did the math (which I should of done from the begining instead of listening to game reviewers opining, honestly) and learned to my surprise it would save me alot of money. I called and cut my plan off and in the process got a better internet price and swapped over and have not looked back. It saves me roughly $70 a month, give or take.  

Second take: Quality

Another point at which I should have ignored sites (like I tend to do on game reviews) I learned the quality is good.  

Pros:

The menu blows away the speed (excruciatingly slow) of fios

The app blows away the app I had for tablet use from Fios (my wife, who uses it the most, loves it so much more)

It has all the channels I need and I like the tiers it offers

I love the unlimited dvr (i paid more for no dvr on fios)

I like the netflix type menu and search features (if I want sci fi, I search that and voila I get tons of upcoming sci fi I can save for DVR later)

My family loves having their own profiles of their stuff as it personalizes the experience 

It has had multiple improvements to it since I started not least of which was giving me a monthly price cut of $10

Cons:

Works on multiple devices simultaneously except two ps4's (which I was told was a licensing issue they're working on).  I did not have more then one cable box so it's not a huge deal but I do interestingly have two ps4's so I'd like that function.  I could always use a roku or amazon stick (which sony mailed me free btw, although I stupidly gave it away to someone) but it's the principle :).  

I only post this because I saw a lt of negativity about this service for awhile and I let it persuade me when I shouldn't have.  There is a free trial so I'd sugeest anyone interested at least try it.  If you're totally against it than ignore my post :).  

My last thought:

I wish MS would do a similar service to create competition and (hopefully) drive this type of service farther.  It's like netflix for tv and I like it a lot.  Having more options would be excellent. 

The push and pull Dynamic between two vocal minorities here is somewhat amusing.

Group A "We love you, join us"
Group B "Why not both? They're basically the same anyway"

 I suggested to stay with X1 since there’s hardly any difference between the two consoles.

Me too.  At first I was hesitant in subscribing to ps vue but after trying the basic one, I was hooked.  The best part is that the pricing include taxes and fees so no hidden fees that other companies don't tell you.
