I’m Trading My Xbox One for a PS4, and Here’s Why

GottaBeMobile: The Xbox One and PS4 have been out on the market for around eight and nine months, respectively. However, it hasn’t even been a full year yet, and I’m already thinking about switching sides.

[DEEBO]

I have both but most of time is on the ps4. They are bringing out the better games and multiplatform games are better on it.

But i wouldn't trade my x1 for a ps4 or ps4 for a x1.

Own both(if you can)is really the best option.

[equal_youth]

also you can stay out of this pathetic debacle that is called the console war. i don't like my x1 as much as my ps4 for obvious reasons and to speak after ms wants me to is just not my thing.

[XStation]

Those "obvious reasons" are probably not good reasons..

[afterMoth]

Main reason, caring about games instead of skype. The best gaming experiences are on the PS4.

Now if you want to skype with your Russian mail order bride then get an Xbox One, or PC or one of the many other devices that do skype.

[Rocky5]

@afterMoth
See when you have Skype & playing a game with your cousin or mates & you score or kill them its so much more satisfying seeing their face & giving them the finger shouting YEAH!!!!! up yours lol

immature but hey we're in the game to win.

What I'm saying is dont bitch about a feature the competition doesn't have, once you have it its hard to not go back.

In the end it's our opinion & were all entitled to it, but actively downplaying a feature that can also improve your gaming experience is wrong.

[CloudRap]

Its a fact that no one had more fun on the same game on ps4 than on x1 the only real advantage is a few pixels. Xb1 still has the more streamlined OS and a slightly (ds4 is fantastic too) controller. For me this fall its Halo MCC/AW on X1, and GTA5/Destiny on PS4. Both are great all of you idiots bashing it probably have never even used one the only people who can really comment are those who own both. Get on my level you brokeass fanboys.

[bouzebbal]

I have wii u and ps4. Dont see how 2 "similar" consoles can be the best option.

[equal_youth]

mainly to play the best of the best what mostly means exclusives like uncharted or sunset overdrive or quantum break. thats how it goes for me. maybe the halo collection to play all this glorious maps in split screen with friends.

edit: @ redwin: i agree on the article

[redwin]

I also have them both and I prefer my Xbox but I wouldn't sell my ps4. I think thi website neede some hits. This kind of article is like showing nudity in a bad B movie. Ridiculous reasons is all he can come up with. He threw a Hail Mary with thia "blog", it sounds desperate. If the ps4 had GT and he gave the reasons he gave, perhaps I would have believed him but he there is no GT otherwise I would have bough it. This guy is not even a gamer. He gave no specifics about the games everything he said was generic, car and tracks numbers and explained no distinctions between the Xbox One and the PS4. This guys argument holds no water .

[PurpleDragon96]

@Rocky5

Not a big fan of having the screen space for the game shrink and prefer to do this on a secondary screen, and PS4 users can still do just that with skype on a phone, tablet, or laptop. Hardly a must have feature, or even a particularly convenient one at that.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

He says hes not interested in X1 games because hes a sports game fan and PS4 has MLB series that he likes plus he thinks GT series is better.

That's how he feels and I respect that.

game On.

[donthate]

I am on Xbox One more, mostly because I like to play Titanfall, and the online is better.

Dedicated servers on Titanfall, but P2P on KillZone. Titanfall is more fun anyhow. Now that I got EA Access, I suspect this will continue.

Practically everything the PS4 has, the Xbox One does, or does better.

I don't play indie games, so that leaves a lot to be desired on PS4 (and Xbox One, just less).

That said, I am expecting great things to come to both soon!

[XBLSkull]

I also own both but am on the Xbox way more than my PS4. Literally the first time I've had my PS4 on since February is when last of us remaster came out last week, thats about 6 months that I really didn't need to own my PS4. Everything is just done better on the Xbox, minus a few framerate/resolution discrepancies.

[bandit905]

i disagree with @aftermoth, the best gaming experience isnt on a ps4 lmao, what are you smoking...but anyways, i use my x1 for the social/ steaming features and the exclusives, but for the
"best gaming experience" higher res,fps, and community mods i use a pc for that

[sonarus]

@Bandit.
I never really understood the logic of pc has most superior graphics and gaming experience therefore i would rather have Xbox. If you feel pc has most superior gaming experience then why don't you just play all your games on pc. Why not play Titanfall on pc and all the other ps4 games that are on pc? Why even bother with a console?

[bennissimo]

I played the heck out of Guacamelee over the last two weeks, and I'm getting back into Titanfall.

Prior to that, I was all over my PS4.

Having both consoles to satisfy the gaming itch is a far, far superior solution.

[BattleAxe]

If you've already spent the money on an Xbox One, then stick with it. PS4 doesn't have much more to offer over Xbox One at this point anyway. I also highly doubt that Phil Spencer is going to sit idly by, and let Sony dominate the console space unchallenged.

I predict that this whole thing with EA, and Sony's public denouncing of EA Access will not go over well. This probably goes back to when EA announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft at E3 2013. And I'm sure that EA making Titanfall an Xbox One Exclusive didn't sit well with Sony either.

Basically, I think that there is more going on behind the scenes between Microsoft and EA. Not only do I think that Titanfall 2 will be an Xbox One exclusive, but I believe that they will announce another big IP as an exclusive also. This could potentially turn the tide in Microsoft's favour in a big way. This is all speculation, but I think that E3 will be full of surprises next year. This industry is waiting and ready for a major re-shuffle.

[UltraNova]

Reading through this opinion piece you can get a pretty good picture as to how different people see things from each other...

For me its the story driven single player games that steal the show, that is why I prefer the Playstation platform (that is while we still get SP games..).

[Utalkin2me]

Multiplatform games say hi, and i don't have to say anything else.

[MazzingerZ]

I would keep it, there will always be good games to play on both, play the best of the best, rather than pretend to be hyped for certain games just because there's no more to play.

[pinkcrocodile75]

I don't understand the point of this article.

If the author wants to trade in his X1 for a PS4.. Great!, but why should I care?

He's made a statement, his decision is clear. The article would spike a better debate is he phrased it as a question instead.

This is worse than Jeremy Kyle or "Don't touch me you poor person" Oprah!

So he wants rid.. Fine... So what?

[Nicaragua]

Jeez, its not that complicated - he simply decided to write about his choice.

Clearly people are reading the article and commenting on it, so its not like he did something completely mental or without justification.

Writers write stuff, crazy but true.

[nicksetzer1]

@nicaragua no he wrote it to incite a fanboy war and get hits. There is no real reason anyone should care what he does otherwise.

[xHeavYx]

@Pink
If you don't care, why read the article and comment?

[BillmadeAGate]

I'm gonna have to agree with @nicksetzer this article is like most trash on n4g.. flamebait

[rawz]

So would you answer the question now - what are you doing in this article, what are you doing in N4G?

I agree that the article titles can be misleading sometimes. Although after regularly reading N4G it's not hard to spot a decent article.

Just because you don't like what you read, doesn't make the article trash.

[mcarsehat]

I'm trading in my interest for sympathy towards the twonk that is trading in a £450 console for about £150.

[pinkcrocodile75]

@heavy and @raw

I stupidly thought there may be some insight into choice or that it would be some genuine form of journalism and maybe, just maybe he would phrase the arguement in question form so a sensible debate could come from it.

However after reading it I realised that he was just writing an opinion piece.

I suggest that N4G should shove a banner over the image of these pieces saying "opinion" so that I, and many others can avoid them.

It's a bit like watching telly. 90% sh!te and 10% interesting news.

[Utalkin2me]

@nicksetzer1

You read it and commented, accomplished. Otherwise do not.

[memots]

i traded my xbo for a ps4 and a single fok was given.... except for the 200+ comments here ...,ooooh the irony

[RosweeSon]

Generally I'd agree having always owned more than one console but currently owning a 360 and a wii u, 3DS ps3/4 and a vita i just don't have time for another console, besides retiring my xbox in next week or 2 good ran out a whole back so just gonna enjoy some quality and cheap gaming on ps3/4 free games every month since launch (on ps4 anyway) winner, I'm not fully writing the xbox one off but as you say better games are on ps4 the multiplatform games are constantly looking better on ps4 over xbox one I'd rather get a PC at the moment and that's saying something, not gonna happen but that's the same as xbox one not buying one this year and I'll be suprised if I get one next year either maybe treat myself for Christmas 2015 but yeah no rush nothing says buy me for more money than the better ps4 where you'll get free games every month sure xbox one do this now but it's all an after thought and only being done to keep up with the Jones' competition, I'll wait for another price cut (maybe even another as there will likely be one this year) but nah not even considering it for over £349 without kinect no thanks, don't really want kinect but when I could have bought an xbox one with titanfall and kinect for barely £350/380 the new kinect less model is well over prices, sub £299 possibly but I'll wait til it's nearer £200/250 with a game or 2 free,, look at the very original xbox they reduced it massively redesigned the controller and chucked in 3 of the best games, yeah think ill wait this out on microsoft's next gen Attempt, I say attempt as if your previous console can do 90% of your features but better than your newer more technical next gen console then something clearly doesn't add up, I haven't seen anything since last year when the consoles were revealed that says Microsoft are trying hard, trying sure but hard not really, they offer free games now, wow sony have only been doing that for a couple of years, Microsoft are such blatant rip offs I'm suprised they get away with it.

[Dontworrybhappy]

Holy hell dude! I thought you said you didn't have enough time, but just look at those phat ass walls of text!? Holy crap!

[Angerfist]

tl;dr

[Mega24]

Fanboys are going to be fanboys, do anything to start a cyber fight. Keyboard warriors are like that.

[RosweeSon]

Why's everything a fight cant people just not have a conversation even if it's long winded just seems to take a looooong time for stuff to get through to some people (clearly biased fanboys?) Just because people's views are not the same as your own doesn't mean it's a personal challenge or they are slating your console it's just their person opinion in this case mine, I said myself I'm not writing the xbox off ( I think they may have a few £/€/$ in reserve) but it doesn't mean I'm starting a fight I'm just trying to get people to not be so blind with certain companies as they enjoy them so much, nothing wrong with that but when it's making you biased and willing to take any rubbish they throw at you that's a bit of a worry I'm just trying to save some people some cash help people make informed decisions as I've been gaming on every platform under the sun for over 25 years, and yes I've played my mates xbox one but when he's saying he's my overly impressed and my other xbox one mate is paying me to borrow my ps4 for a week think that says something, that and even the American people who you would think would be biased towards an American based games console again nothing wrong with supporting your own country but even they are not overly keen on xbox one hence why there's a massive shift and they are all buying ps4's if the Americans don't want xbox one when they get all the bells and whistles ,extra features than most in different regions) the why would I want one, granted I didn't just buy the ps4 because Americans were and everybody I else I bought because I wanted one so i got one, on launch day as I was happy with with they were offering and more importantly showing us of their future for the platform, im more happy in trusting sony over Microsoft and that's saying something coming from the ps 1/2 days

I will just repeat I am not fighting anyone just simply saying that shop around check out the competition what's the worst the could happen you might enjoy it, games are great on various different systems but xbox one is not up to scratch currently and to be honest I don't even know what they have planned other than releasing a white console, that will sort out this whole xbox fiasco, a new colour, nice one, at the least they've got there priorities sorted how can we pull the wool over everyone's eyes?? Hmmm you've already had a price cut one xbox one what more do you want from them before people will accept xbox one is just not as good a console as promised as ps4 while maybe not right this second but in the very best future and even now I'd say it's a much better system it's cheaper and I've been getting free games since launch day, not waiting for the next price cut as microsoft will likely have another one in time for Christmas if not very early 2015, hey ho I'll be busy on my ps4 not taking you outside to kick your face in, it's not my style I'm a bit more civilised and just have a conversation , yeah conversation not argument or personal attack.

[TardcoreGamer]

Does the x1's controller make your hands cramp up? or is it just me.
I own all controllers btw (xb360 ds3 ds4)and recently purchased the x1 and I'm having trouble with hand cramps when using it for extended periods. An otherwise great controller.

[TardcoreGamer]

for clarification, I didn't buy the Xbox One console. Just the controller itself.

[jnemesh]

I didn't buy an X1 or the controller, but I played with the console on display at the local Fred Meyer. My impression was that it was MUCH LESS comfortable to use than the 360 controller. I also noticed that if you shook the controller, the triggers and/or bumper buttons actually rattled because they weren't tightly fitted!

The construction of the controller felt cheap to me. I also disliked the glossy finish on the triggers and bumpers...in short, it just didn't feel "right".

Conversely, my DS4 feels like a revelation! The D-pad is FINALLY a good one, very responsive, with a definite "click" feeling when you press down. I don't get the thumb fatigue I did with either the DS3 or 360 controller when using the D-pad on the DS4.

Also, the analog sticks feel tighter and more precise. I am not having the peeling issue that some are complaining about, either. The triggers feel tight, and I love both the shape and the texture of the triggers and bumpers.

The angle and size of the handgrips has changed too. They are wider apart, as are the analog sticks...I no longer hit my thumbs together when playing dual stick shooters...and the grips fit my larger size hands nicely.

The touchpad is a very nice addition as well...ESPECIALLY for text input. I am hoping more games start supporting it, as it really expands the number of inputs available on the controller!

In fact, my only real gripes are fairly minor. One, I wish the batter life was better...not a huge deal to me, because I am close enough where I can just plug in if the battery gets low...but a concern for others, I am sure...and the size and positioning of the "Share" and "Options" buttons make them harder to find.

Overall, though, I think this is the best controller I have used to date, and I am VERY happy with it!

[Magicite]

Not everyone can afford both just yet. Hell, not everyone can afford even a single.

[danny818]

im trading my ps4 for the xbox one. Only because im gonna get the white ps4 in the holidays. I think both systems are really good, idk why xbox gets so much hate

[chrisarsenalsavart]

Love my ps4 to death but I m really enjoying my x1 and WIIU. I can understand why not everyone can afford that but some fanboys should try that just to remove that mind control that a brand has over them.

[XxExacutionerxX]

I would love to use the Xbox One controller on the PS4. I'm sorry but the PS4 controller didnt win this gen for me.

[DeadlyOreo]

Why are you apologising? The PS4 controller did win it this gen for me.

Opinions are fun.

[TheRedButterfly]

X360 > XO > DS4 > Wii U Gamepad > Wii Wand > DS3

I could go on, but I don't feel like going all the way back to the NES, so I'll stop at 7th gen.

[ramiuk1]

i still cant think of a reason for a xb1 yet,i thought i wanted titanfall but after playing it for while i was bored and DR3 etc not my kind of thing and although they changed Top guy ,i still think MS is unsurre of there direction.

My ps4 will never be sold or swapped for what is imo by far inferior.
sunset overdrive looks fun but not £350 fun

[chrisarsenalsavart]

X1 is not that inferior. Great games are coming for it.
Some people here think x1 is as powerful as a WIIU. After playing RYSE I knew that machine means business.
I still think ps4 is more powerful but that never been the main factor in console gaming
Ex :ps2<GameCube<x1
And guess which one had the best game library?

[SmielmaN]

Chris:
The Sony one.

[BallsEye]

I have both as well (waiting for nerdstalker Ps4marksthespotnotx to diss me n say photos of my consoles I showed are made at friend's place..) but I do spend most of time on XO. Just preffer the game choice there. Having lot's of fun still in Dead Rising, Titanfall, Project Spark, Ryse MP and some Forza. I just keep on playing these games. My ps4 stays untouched since I've finished KZ2 (except there's only infamous from AAA exclusives and it's just not my kind of game). It comes down to preference.

As for the article...who the F cares that you trade in your XO?! Who approve this kind of garbage articles? This is NEWS for gamers. NEWS! DO we need a crap opinion article every day about how bad XO is? Let the disagrees begin. Not suprised at all.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Apparently this is waay more than announcing King Of Wushu MMO coming to X1. To further expand the X1 game library.

Or Diablo III hitting 1080p on X1 since 1080p is still the most important thing on earth to gaming to allot of people still.

Like I stated above I respect the guys decision but this piece is no different than going to a personal blog and reading all the same reasons.

[ziggurcat]

"My ps4 stays untouched since I've finished KZ2 except there's only infamous from AAA exclusives and it's just not my kind of game)."

killzone 2 is on PS4, now? that's proof right there that you don't actually own a PS4. something also tells me that it doesn't matter what game is out on PS4, you would still say that it's not "your kind of game."

"who the F cares that you trade in your XO?!"

would you say the same thing if it was the other way around? i doubt you would.

"DO we need a crap opinion article every day about how bad XO is?"

if you actually read the article, the author's reasons are because of the games (he prefers sports games, and there's not enough of them on xbone *for him*), not the actual console. the author doesn't say anything along the lines of the xbone being bad at all.

[N8]

I have both as well. My friend has an x1 and said he has nothing to play. I told him to get a ps4 and he looked at me like I had two heads. Some people are just one console gamers.

[JustInTlME]

Like DEESO says, just own both... thats the best solution. I have like every console, including mutliples of each.....just save money. I'm not at all rich, haha.

[Pogmathoin]

Deebo, well said, I own both, and still use 360/PS3 more..... I play games, not participate in some 'war' for obsessive depraved fanboys.

[smellslikeralph]

Love both my ps4/x1. These stupid console wars are getting old

[ITPython]

The only reason I would even fork over the cash to buy a XB1 is for the exclusives. But it would need a LOT of them, as the PS4 is the console to play multiplats on so the XB1's exclusives are the only selling point for me.

So far there is not a single released XB1 exclusive that interests me, and by the time 2016 rolls around there MIGHT be 2 or 3, maybe. But it's going to need a lot more than that to make me a convert, at least 10-15 and a console price of around $300 is where it becomes something that is worth the purchase for me.

[Syntax-Error]

Well i'm trading in my PS4 to get my money back because THERES NO NEXT GEN GAMES coming out until 2015. I didnt buy a NEXT GEN CONSOLE to play last gen remasters. Why release NEXT GEN consoles in 2013 when there's no games in 2014?

[MightyNoX]

Not really. The Xbox 360 had true exclusives that would not wind up on the PC.

The Bone keeps bleeding exclusives over to either the PC or the Ps4 (see Titanfall), it's simply not a worthy investment.

Plus, now that consoles need a subcription, you'll see less and less multi-console owners.

PS4+PC
PS4+Wii U
Wii U + PC

Any of those would be a winning combination for this gen.

[RedDevils]

The best option is a PS4 and PC combo

[gamer1138]

This would be the worst time to trade in. Why not wait till SSOD, Forza and Halo MCC have come out. Play them to death then if you really feel the need to get rid of the xbox one, do it in febuary towards a PS4 with The Order.

Also, the guy comparing GT to Forza and saying GT has never been bigger. I'm pretty sure recent figures showed GT6 was the worst performing GT in many years. As for the number of cars...sure if you want o be racing in PS2 level models. In fact, why has he even brought up GT? It's not on PS4!

The guy in the comments section sums it up. The author is bored and thinks the grass will be greener.

[mochachino]

Article said he's mostly likes sports games and likes the PS4 controller better. He's a not a big fan of Halo.

To each their own but if he's just playing multiplats and likes the DS4 better there's no reason to keep an xone.

My question is why didn't he just get an PS4 at first, probably was a loyal 360 owner and didn't really think about.

[Immorals]

Real question is why upgrade your console for sports games? The difference is minimal, and you can use the ds4 on a ps3

[ChuckTheIceMan]

I don't know how anyone could like the ds4 over the xb1 controller. Honestly I like my xbox one, I use for TV, some games like Titanfall and I'll play halo 5, maybe a few others. But most of my multiplatform games will be played on the ps4 as most of the people I play with only own a ps4. If more of my friends played on xb1 I might play some multiplatforms on the xb1. The big gripe I have about the ps4 is the controller. The grips on the first gen controllers are eroding where your thumb sits the most and on both the newer and older they are way too slippery! Also the L3 and R3 click actions on the DS4 are not as good as the xb1, they feel a little spongy in comparison, and the triggers on the xb1 controller are much better. Don't even get me started on battery life! This is my opinion of course and we all know about opinions, however I played the destiny beta on both systems and I would love to be able to use my xb1 controller on the ps4 instead of the DS4.

[Dinkis]

@captaincool31 idk why all the disagrees. All of my friends ps4 control sticks have the rubber coming right off it. I some cases only 2 months of playing it. http://www.playstationlifes...

[Magnes]

@immorals Sony added the ability to use the DS4 on ps3

[Chevalier]

Even if GT6 is the worst selling it still outsold the both Forza 5 and Forza Horizon. Also if you look at the trends Forza 3 had more sales then Forza 4 did and Forza Horizon sold only a third of what Forza 4 did. Other then the high point of Forza 3 it's dropped drastically in sales from game to game.

[memots]

gt6 is a great game, it simply came out a year to late. Ps4 was out and on everyones mind.

[spicelicka]

Why the hell do we care what this is doing with his gaming systems? Like seriously what makes his decision so important that we need to read an article on it.

[HaydenJameSmith]

Yeah exactly, there is very little on the PS4 that interests me (in my opinion) so I prefer X1. I own both for the record but the point is everyone is different, this guys opinion piece has little relevance to us and our choices in what consoles to buy... so I don't know why it has been approved. No one cares.

[Magnes]

Why do we care you perfer xb1 over ps4 but you commented anyway. So your opinion is valid his isn't . The fact you don't like the article means the rest of us arent allowed to read it. By all means dismiss me too and anything else you don't feel is valid.

[DeadlyOreo]

Sounds like he's gutted that this article's title isn't the other way around.

[HaydenJameSmith]

@Magnes

You completely missed the point, never said my opinion was valid or his wasn't I just don't care and this shouldn't effect anyone choice in what console to buy so therefore its a pointless opinion piece (of a guy just saying he prefers the PS4 cause of the controller and Sports/driving games). I said everyone is different and are untitled to own whatever they want but why does this guy need to plaster his opinion on the internet it has nothing to do with anything. This is just flame bait for the console war...

The fact I don't like the article is cause it's completely pointless and how are you any better, when your acting like what you claim to be the way I am acting...

@DeadlOreo

I would say the same thing if it were the X1, but i'd be a little biased cause it'd my opinion too... but still doesn't mean I would condone it, cause no one really wants to listen to this.

[TheRedButterfly]

Approved? Try #1 story on the front page. - _ -

[SmielmaN]

You typing a few paragraphs on your opinion of a topic where you say something like "why does his opinion have to be put on the internet" is probably the funniest, ignorantly hypocritical statement you can make. You sir must have a massive ego and zero common sense. May you one day be able to pull your head from your backside. Good luck.

[Spotie]

You didn't NEED to. You read it- or didn't, more likely- of your own volition.

Silly of you to complain when you made the choice, don't you think?

[spicelicka]

Nope I didn't read it, I did skim over it to check if it had any substance and it didn't. Its not silly to complain because these types of articles have been showing up all over this site where i come to read real news. Now I have to scroll through a dozen useless articles to get to a good one. Its not much of a choice when things show up in your face all the time.

I don't go around complaining on every article, but after months of perseverance this one got to me. Im not saying its the worst article, bit the approach the author took, specially the headline, is very self-centered.

[falviousuk]

Another one of these intruding my xbox heres why pointless bits of info.

Oh right you want some hits for your website.

[G20WLY]

Sorry...what's intruding your box?? :/

[falviousuk]

ummm that really doesn't make any sense, i believe osx auto corrected some of my comment and made that awful mess

[G20WLY]

^It's okay, most of your comments read like that anyway, so nobody would have been phased. ;^)

[LuditPRIME]

This person is well in his rights to swap. But to write an article to justify it is laughable. Nobody cares. It's quite shameful and really.

[marlinfan10]

Who cares? Youre one out of millions and millions of gamers. We dont all write articles about which console we want

[cruzngta]

Its simple...hes tired of 792p and 720p. Welcome to PS4 and the wonderful world of 1080p my friend. Just kidding... if you can have both that is really the best option - just gets expensive. I just have PS4 now and I am happy and looking forward to their amazing exclusives.

[LordMaim]

You can't troll and then say "just kidding" and expect to get by.

[xDHAV0K24x]

cool story bro! Enjoy ur games!

[Muigi]

You made the right choice hahahaha!!!!

[Letthewookiewin]

Because Sony has the better line up and system. Especially in early 2015.

[Jury]

Smart move

[Software_Lover]

Who really cares?

[funkybudda]

Just another reason to swap Xbox One to PS4, the awesome lineup of F2P games:

http://n4g.com/news/1561923...

[OpieWinston]

By that logic you should trade in your console for a Steam machine...if you want good F2P games.

Anyone who swaps a console for another when they can save up and just own both is crazy.

[y7jzdgy]

Awesome! I'll sell my PC and buy a PS4!

[BillytheBarbarian]

That's like trading meat for beef. Have fun with that.

[user7402931]

no, its like trading dvd for bluray

[WeAreLegion]

Beef is meat.

[BillytheBarbarian]

Exactly.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Here's why nobody cares.

Because nobody does.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

[ScorpiusX]

Got Me a day one Xbox one and love it . Am now looking forward to buying me a white sunset overdrive xbox one with no intention of trading either .love the systems they have delivered everything I want and they look to continue doing so. As for the other console never will get one , why when the PS3 is all around better than the PS4 besides it will be supported for a long time so why buy the new model at all. M2C

[Allsystemgamer]

How the hell is the ps3 better than the ps4?

[ScorpiusX]

Cause it's fully load with everything and I don't have to wait for anything and it does 1080 so I miss nothing and will revive support for a long time . Besides my consumer buying power is invested in the Xbox one for now and long haul.

[Ron_Danger]

What's the word for when someone does the same action over and over and expects a different outcome??

[ScorpiusX]

The word is insanity, besides it has nothing to do with insanity ,it's about just being able to buy it . No more no less.

@CapraDemon Am a content consumer whose happy with the product he has bought and supports , now if am to be labeled I would prefer the term fanatic or fanatical. Sounds much better.

[kingvendrick]

@castillo no, CapraDemon is pretty much spot on saying fanboy. Come on it's pretty obvious lol.

[DirtyLary]

Trading in is such a ripoff to yourself. At least try to sell it for a mere 10-15% loss.

[towelie1288]

I have both systems and I love it but I prefer the X1 controller vastly of the DS4.
But the DS4 is huge improvement over the DS3 , but for shooters it's goes to the X1 controller soundly
But overall both systems are great and great games for both that I cannot miss out on.

[TheWatercooler]

Best decision you will ever make!

[TheFallenAngel]

My brother is thinking about doing the same. He said the install times are painfully slow and the UI is really sluggish. He also said he is having problems connecting to live. He said he loved his 360 but the xbone is a let down. He also said that the only reason he hasn't done it yet it's because of halo.

[CramShaft]

What else did your brother say?

OT: What a waste of money. Spend $500 on a XB1, trade it in for $250 and then buy a PS4 for $400. Why not save the extra $250 you'd need and have both. There will be great games on both machines regardless of personal preference.

[TheFallenAngel]

He said he doesn't care about resolutions being better on ps4. He said that the UI is really bad. And that he has to wait hrs to play a game because installs. I think he might be exaggerating there.

[OpieWinston]

The websites name is "Gottabemobile"
Says a lot about the content...I'm not reading this trash.

Any moron who trades in their console...especially this early in the gen needs to be slapped in the face.

[brotherlymoses]

Click bait!
He has the lamest excuses
1. He was complaning about Maddens 25 graphics
-it's the same on all consoles
2. lack of baseball game????
-that was known from the start
3.he says he's not intrested in sunset overdrivre, quantum break. And halo 5
-da fuq? Most day one buyers want halo or are at least intrested in something, if not then why buy it?
4.says forza 5 is a bust while Grandtrismo is booming? And gt6 is the best yet?
-really? GT6 is the best? Never go full retarded
5.more blah blah about the controller being cheap blah blah

Overall, I believe it's just a Fanboy trying to get some clicks acting like he really wants to trade in an x1 for a ps4, when he probably just has a ps4.

[Chevalier]

He made a mistake and it's better to change now while he can sell it for more rather then wait. Also 2k Games didn't make an announcement about cancelling baseball till this January 2 months AFTER the new consoles were released.

[smellslikeralph]

I have both and enjoy both. I'm keeping keeping both because each console will get different exclusives such as gears that I enjoy

This I will say the install times on Xbox one are awfully slow

[D-riders]

im confused by your article because for the reasons you listed. it seems you should have bought a ps4. not switching sides so you say but because its better meets your needs.

[Artista]

That's fine, sometimes you have to make mistakes to realize what's right for you. He tried the Xbox ONE, turns out he'd rather a PS4. . that's fine. Thanks for sharing.

I prefer the Xbox ONE controller to DS4. I think it's a better controller. I will buy it for my PC build so I can use it for multiplatform games.

and then get myself a PS4 for console exclusive games. That's the plan.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

It's your choice...but your choice / opinion isn't news.

[reaperofsouls]

because ps4 is an upgrade

[RosweeSon]

If your here for war join the armed forces I'm just here to share my advice take on what you will but I'll be happily playing my gaming current and next gen on the cheap why pay over the odds shop around and get yourself a deal ;)

Agreed with the person above tho these constant articles about peoples personal opinions should have their own section way waaaay away from the news section all it does it starts my console is better than yours, a lot of people talking absolute rubbish with their twisted logic and completely fanboy biased opinions, and time after time like a fool I get sucked in I just hate people talking absolute bullshit, get your facts straight or jog on!

Artista a great controller is all good but you'll need some games to use it with dual shock 4 is not a bad controller dual shock 3 wasn't a bad controller hence why it never changed since dual shock 1 but the xbox 360 controller was a fantastic controller no doubt , i just think sony seemed to forget that the people playing ps1/2 and then even ps3 with the old shape dual shocks, well there hands have likely grown over the years, right over the top of there head not any more it might not be the best controller in the world, it's hard to beat a SNES or GameCube controller after all ( they have been the foundations for how many consoles since, certainly the Snes pad with it's d-pad shoulder buttons and four face buttons as well as start and select) but dual shock 4 is not a terrible controller by any stretch pretty comfy now that they grown the pad to fit mine hands and surely everyone else who's been gaming for a while, but yeah it's not the controller that's gonna sell your console.

[Peternorth]

Let me file this under The Universe Don't Give A Shit About You. Own all 3 and happy I do wouldn't trade in none of them but you know what they say about opinions.

[TheEternalGamer]

good choice. Xbox One has no games coming for it besides what Scalebound? which still needs some gameplay for it. Sunset Overdrive is overhyped and will flop and then make its way to PS4 just like Plants Vs Zombies and Titanfall. PS4 has everything going for it.

-Powerful Hardware
- PS Plus
- More Games
- More Exclusives
- More Quality Exclusives
- Indies
- Free To Play
- Better Software
- More Gamer Oriented
- Better Hardware, more reliable

etc....

Xbox One just doesn't have anything to offer us gamers. Halo is pretty much over. Halo 4 sucked. Gears Of Wars Judgement sucked. Fable Legends doesn't look like a Fable game. Forza Horizon 2 is unneccesary because we have The Crew now with its open world racing aspect and a much bigger map then Forza. Forza 5 is milking consumers it took out a lot of tracks and cars from previous Forza Games. and selling them back as DLC/Day One DLC as well. Kinect is not meant for the hardcore gamers and it has mediocre titles for it making it a gimmick. etc....

Xbox One has nothing going for it right now. PS4 and Wii U is all you need this generation. Plus PC if you want to mod games and stuff like that. Xbox One won't probably have a reason to buy until like 2020 or something like that. not a whole lot of games coming for it. most of them are overhyped mediocrity, or just the same exclusives we usually see from Microsoft.

i'm sorry if i offended anyone's personal opinion, that's fine if you like Xbox one, i'm just stating the facts of what is seen so far. sorry if you don't like it or anything. i still respect your opinion :)

[funkybudda]

Agree 100%, I know its tough just when Xbox One fans had something to boast about (better software update, REALLY!?), then TLOU remastered awesome reviews just dropped like a bomb on them. Then you get the article on F2P games with some close to AAA production quality, and they now have nothing to counter. Sometimes you just to admit defeat when it happens, just man up. What's worst is those pulling out the "PC" card trying to make PS4 look bad. I really dont care for the "PC" thing, as I consider that a different gaming ecosystem. What PC cant replace or compete with is all the real AAA exclusives that Sony owns and will NEVER be released on PC.

[BillmadeAGate]

Your obviously still a blind fanboy ^-^.. we care not about hardware specs cause that makes u sound like a " pc elites" we care for games an Xbox is getting a few good ones this fall. Of course there's going to be better exclusive on ps (especially in 2015) but for this fall it's Xbox chance to show off some great new ips so just stop hating an enjoy the games =p

[CloudRap]

I think your profile pic saids it all........ next

[cruzngta]

Agree with you bro. PS4 does have everything going for it. I really hope we do get Sunset OD though. Ted Price couldnt resist that money from MS up front and figured we own the IP, they bit and paid and now I can let PS4 have aversion at a later date and make even more money... its all about da cash!!! Cant say I blame him but them having the rights to the IP makes sense that they are thinking down the line to port it to other platforms which is always a good business decision for making more money and I am sure he sees how much of a lead PS4 has saleswise. It would stupid for them not to do it. Just like Plants vs Zombies with all dlc now coming to PS4 in 1080p. I am sure Sunset OD would be 1080p as well if it comes to PS4 instead of the 900p on XB1. Thats funny cuz thats the rez of PVZ on both respectively. Maybe history will repeat itself.

[Kiwi66]

I'm pretty sure there is more than just Scalebound coming to xb1 ... oh why bother your just a sony fanboy

[TheEternalGamer]

perhaps you didn't read my comment or missed the part where i said its the only game coming to the Xbox One because the rest are overhyped such as sunset overdrive. We still need to see more gameplay on Scalebound though. As well as i also stated Sunset Overdrive will probably be making its way to PS4 since Xbox One has a small install base compared to the PS4. over 9 million so far and Xbox one has 5 million i believe as of now. don't believe me? Look at the pattern.

Titanfall 2 coming to PS4, Titanfall 1 possibly coming to PS4, Plants Vs Zombies coming to PS4, etc. we will see this pattern and their will be little to nothing what Xbox one offers gamers. Halo is over, Halo 4 killed it. Gears Of War Judgement was horrible. etc. Fable Legends looks nothing like a fable game. Forza 5 is milking consumers has less tracks and cars then previous Forza games. and we have THe Crew coming to Ps4 and Xbox One with a bigger map etc so no need for Forza Horizon. Xbox One is left with nothing basically. sorry. if you still like Halo or Gears thats your opinion but everything else is factual pretty much.

Also how can i be a fanboy if i owned an Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1, Sega Saturn, Sega Game Gear, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Original Xbox, Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation 3, Original Wii, (I borrowed an Xbox 360 from a friend/neighbor because it did had a few games such as Halo, Gears, Fable, etc but not enough for me to go out and buy one myself), PlayStation Portable & PSP Go, PS Vita, PlayStation 4, and soon i will own a Wii U.

I started gaming since the 5th generation since i was 5 or 6 i was born in 1990, i got those 2 atari consoles from my dad when i was a kid. never experienced the NES, SNES, Genesis, or GameBoy. That's why you will see me be more for PlayStation since that's where i began as a child. Doesn't mean i hate or despise anything else. i still love Nintendo which is my secondary platform, i still use my Retro consoles even to this day, Xbox One just has nothing for me. their is no need to get mad at the fact that Xbox One has no games too me. If you think Xbox One has a lot of games for you then good for you but to me and most other gamers out there, their isn't any. that's why you see us on the PS4, Wii U and PC side even over Xbox One. Like i said if you like Xbox one more power too you, no need to get offended over another guy's thoughts on the internet just shows how insecure you guys are :)

[Kiwi66]

So your opinion is fact since when as there are those who own an xb1 who will disagree with you about how the xb1 has nothing going for it .
Me personally don't really care as i enjoy all systems since i began gaming in 1977 age 11

[TheEternalGamer]

yes i am aware of that. and you are free to give me your response if you disagree with me and my opinion. i never claimed my opinion being factual.

me to i enjoy all systems and i began gaming in 1995or 1996 at ages 5 or 6 pretty much. but i also have more consoles from before my time too. :)

[Goku781]

Everyone with an Xbox One would be better off trading it in.

[NeoGamer232]

Same can be said for the PS4 then...

The ultimate gaming destination is Steam on a PC. It is the true place for Indies and always has the most definitive editions of games.

Take away the Indie games and the PS4 is a barren open wasteland of nothingness until 2015...

[CrowbaitBob]

Really, cuz I have an Xbox One. So how exactly would I be better off trading it in?

Before you answer consider the fact that I also own a PS4, Vita, PS3, 360, and a plenty capable gaming PC. I also am really excited to play the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One.

So, again, how would I be better off trading in my Xbox One?

[jmac53]

I traded in my PS2 for an Xbox mostly because of Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Halo online. Was so happy with the Xbox that I decided to go with the 360 and now it's back to Playstation with the PS4.

[scotmacb]

Xbox one is getting better everyday i love mine this guy deserves a ps4 for the crap he's saying better pad lol yeah right theres no gt on ps4 yet forza has the best handling fact can you even watch youtube on ps4 xbox one is ahead in my opinion

[wynams]

author of article is genius (finally came to senses at least)

[IrishSt0ner]

I'm buying a PS4 in 2015, and I'm not trading in my X1. I have had an awesome time with X1, the authors reasoning is entirely subjective.

Forza 5 being boring, for example, is the way all Forza's are for me, great for a simulation racing fix, but no long gaming sessions from it... been that way since FORZA 1.

I'm actually starting to enjoy all the hate X1 gets, it's way past the point of obvious truth (short-falls), and is now like people don't even understand how any idoit could own a console other than PS4 LOL.

[pyrocloud7]

You have chosen wisely.

[Hardcore_gamerxbox]

That's coming from someone has never owned Xbox one just trying to make Xbox one look bad typical Sony fan boys

[Destiny1080]

ps4 is a generation ahead of the x1 with its more powerful gpu and gddr5 memory. x1 uses slow ddr3 memory which is no longer used in gpus because of its low bandwidth. its gpu is up to 400% weaker then the ps4

[hiawa23]

No way that is correct. A generation behind, 400% is crazy talk.

[CrowbaitBob]

@Destiny1080

Your comment is so full of fanboy ignorance it is up to 400% weaker than simply not commenting at all.

"ddr3 memory which is no longer used in gpus because of its low bandwidth"

GPUs have never used DDR3. DDR3 is currently the standard in PC system memory.

[Hardcore_gamerxbox]

If I had ps4 I would trade it for Xbox one and my reasons are Xbox one got better games so far better online more apps and less crappy F2P games and less racist on Xbox one

[hiawa23]

Got both, play the Xbox 1 much more than the 4,actually prefer its setup, keeping both for each exclusives, fine with the power of both consoles, so if the 1 isn't working for you, by all means dump it, no one should care about this but you.

[S2Killinit]

well, if you have to have one, then by all means PS4 is the better option imo.

[NeoGamer232]

That comment was loaded with facts... NOT!

[S2Killinit]

and therefore the "imo"

[Revengeance]

He wised up and went with the better console. Every sensible gamer knows the PS4 is the better console with MORE AND BETTER games. Even the multiplats are better on here, and not just graphics wise but content wise as well.

I'm still wondering why there are people on here trying to spread false claims to put the PS4 in a bad light only to make themselves look like fools in the end.

[system22]

a bunch of indie games doesn't mean better. it certainly means more. i have both consoles. i love the ps4, but to say it has better games is simply your own opinion. if you are referring to more games with 1080p sure... but its all relative. for me i'm on the x1 more. i have more friends on xbl, xbl has better social functionality/flexibility to me and the ps4 doesn't have any good sim racing game (personal favorite genre) or really actually... many titles i even want to play... and the titles that are worth playing, you could have or probably already played on the ps3 (yup, already re-did tomb raider, redoing TLOU and second son was... not bad but not mind blowing).

to chalk "better" up to resolution is myopic and small if thats what you mean by better. otherwise i personally feel the x1 has better games right now for me personally. maybe 2015 i will feel differently and spend more time on the ps4 instead but until then... better is debatable and merely opinion.

[system22]

stupid. so sell your x1, eat a bunch of depreciation and limit your options in available games and features by switching to the other console... or... take all of that depreciation money from hardware and software you would eat and put it towards the other console.

now you have both consoles, more games, more options and fewer reasons to troll.

[Elda]

Congratulations!

[jamsam360]

Woopdi f**king doo! Who cares!

[Dehnus]

I remember this title from somewhere, has it been writer before on another page? Also awfully clickbaity again.

[Mkai28]

In his article he says, it's all about the games. Yet Xbox has Quantum Break, Forza Horizon 2, Halo Anniversary, and Sunset Overdrive coming out. Then he says he's mainly a sports gamer and wants to get the PS4 for MLB: The Show..(not interested in those games) Then why say, it's all about the games?

Me personally, Xbox one may have the better line up this year and getting rid of it now doesn't make since..

[Flames76]

Who gives a damn you pathetic excuse for a writer?Everybody has to write a stupid ass article these days on nothing but BS.Nobody cares what your doing you moron.People like you gives gamers a bad name about like sony fanboys

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

I've held the xbox one controller, and yes it felt great! great job on it.
However i had 2 problems with it! the trigger buttons are too freaking close,
i hated the feedback on the trigger buttons, and as it felt great to hold,
it felt cheap at the same time. I've played FM5 for the first time! i'm a huge fan of racing games and plus i like cars. Played it several times, and i'm sorry, but the game just felt so boring! looking at the cars was awesome, but when the game began, it was just yecch! i did not have fun with it whatsoever.
I left playing the X1 with a frown on my face! looking at what other games it offers that's coming soon does not grab my attention! this was my 3rd attempt to get into xbox brand, from the first xbox, xbox 360, and now X1, but failed.
So going with the playstation brand was the best choice for me!
don't get me wrong, xbox is not bad by any means, the games that's coming out
doesn't impress me. And i'm not big into all that TV TV TV TV stuff either. I have a cable box that does that already. IMO

Edit: why is ppl upset about him switching over from X1 to PS4? it's his decision.
Live with it! it'll be the same if a person said they switching from PS4 to X1. You can't get upset with them because they're making a mistake. That's their choice! live with it. #dealwithit

[Justindark]

I'm trading my ps4 for a ps2 and a vita.

[N8]

My X1 collects dust while my ps4 is on all the time. I will be fixing that though as all my sports games will be on X1 I have to share the wealth I spoil my ps4. I'm being a fanboy in my own home.

[Sadist3]

News flash, ain't nothing over here on the playstation side either when it comes to games. Might as well play the PS3 or 360 because so far this generation sux. Almost a year in and no games yet. All we're getting are remakes of games we already played before.

[tommygunzII]

He won't regret it.

[Grave]

I'm a PC gamer who owned both consoles last gen. I gamed way more on my PS3 than my X360 and ended up actually trading my X360 to go towards my recent PS4 purchase. I still have no intention of buying an X1. For me there just isn't enough there to justify another console purchase and another sub service.

[marioJP87]

Won't be trading my X1 for a Ps4, seeing as I have both consoles.

[Condemnedman]

Only on this site would a shite story like that make front page.

[bobkirb12]

I have both and honestly enjoy them equally. They each have their pros and cons but that is why I have both ...to counteract the cons.

[troylazlow]

this is a dumb article

[spoonard]

I onlt own my X1 for any Fable games and the new Crackdown. No other games on the platform interest me so far.

[horndog]

I say go trade up. Goodbye my friend. Happy gaming and you didn't need an article, sounds like your asking for permission.

[re2_apocalypse]

The best game's this year and next are on Playstation

[chaosx]

Why not have both? Prices are dropping and then you don't miss out on the exclusives .

For me still prefer the XB1 controller for FPS , but the ds4 was great for last of us.

[CrowbaitBob]

This. Variety makes so much more sense than trading in. Unless of course you're strapped for cash and can get a dollar for dollar trade on your console.

[PoodlePuncher]

I have both and have to say I like the controller quite a bit more on the Xbox One. Can't stand the DS4's joysticks, the outer ring drives me crazy, they wear down really fast, and it's just not as smooth of a feel as the xbox one's controller. Also like the way the One's controller fits in your hands too.

Media features on Xbox One are also pretty cool once you get used to them. The Xbox SmartGlass app now is actually really cool. I can control my entire entertainment center with my cell phone, which I really like. I'll finally admit the Xbox Live service also seems a lot better than PSN. Have had a lot less issues with Xbox Live than PSN. PSN even crashes whenever anything popular is released on it, don't think the same happens for Xbox Live, at least not as often. Xbox One's consistent updates are also a big plus.

It's just a shame the graphics are so much worse. People try to minimize it, but it is a pretty big difference. Resolution is a pretty big deal, you know this if you're a PC gamer. Difference is a lot more noticeable on monitors, seeing as most "1080p TV's" typically have a lower native resolution that gets upscaled.

In the end both systems have their strengths and weaknesses. There is no answer to which console is better because they both offer something unique. I'm actually kind of glad they're not as similar as the 360 and PS3 were, provides more variety if you own both systems.

This is my OPINION. Everyone has their own. I don't think it's good to be loyal to a brand though, because all the companies want is your money, they're not your best buddy. Every system, including PC, is really equal in the long run to me. Even PC I would say is equal to the consoles. May have crazy good graphics but it can be a hassle.

[EvilWay]

I said the same thing about my PS4 when I traded it in for my Xbox One.

My reasons:

1. Xbox One has the games I want to play (Halo, Gears, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, etc.)
2. I don't care about inferior hardware, when there is legit nothing to play on the PS4
3. XBL is superior in my opinion. Also why would I give up on all the time I put into my gamer-score, etc..
4. Controller is better (Xbox One)
5. Most of my friends play on Xbox

[bu3ouf91]

The only thing I hate about Xbox is the UI !!

[EvilWay]

I am not a fan of it either, but I would rather it be that instead of the PS4's which is pretty slow and has nothing there

[OfficerDewey]

Nothing to play on PS4 is laughable. I don't really talk hate about xbox but sum fanbois are delusional as hell. Don't trade any of your systems.

[EvilWay]

What is there to play? Last of Us? Played it on my PS3, indies? no thanks. Explain what I am missing out on?

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

your argument is that xb1 has more games you want? fine. but then you go on to say sony doesn't have any games when your number one reason for getting an xbox one is for games that aren't even released yet lolz

you either never had a ps4 to begin with(ms fanboy) or you're just really stupid with your money(or both). i'm thinking it's the first reason since you know about upcoming xb1 games but didn't bother to do some research into the ps4's? give me a break~ not to mention your 2nd reason is incredibly shoddy considering it conflicts with your first one lolz you must be having loads of fun with those games that aren't even released yet~

[trouble_bubble]

@evilway
Your post history disagrees with you.

Sold it? Nah, you previously said you gave said PS4 to your cousin and your XBone has been gethering dust for 2 MONTHS. You're back on 360, lol! Your words.
http://n4g.com/comments/red...

You now say PS4 has no games for you while the other week you said you will buy a PS4 again "..to play BloodBorne and others." Which is it? None of your choice XBox games are out yet either.

You said "..both consoles will have a lot of must have exclusives that I don't want to miss out of like I did last generation (missed out on most of PS3)." Well, looks like your above list is already making the same mistakes. You've already forgotten your own words. Cya Bloodborne.

[TimeSkipLuffy]

you played the best game of last gen: The Last of Us!
And that should be reason enough to go with PS4 because if there will be a prequel or sequel it will only happen on PS4! :D

[CrowbaitBob]

If you purchase a console in its first year and then trade it in that same year you're doing it wrong.

You have to be extremely dim to not realize the first year is going to be sparse as far as game releases are concerned. You have noone to blame but yourself.

[bu3ouf91]

For my opinion most gamers hit Windows 8 UI on Xbox One the reason that makes me stick with PlayStation 4, i tried Windows 8 as default os for my Desktop but it was complicated and useless unlike Windows 7 and older versions.

[gamer7804]

Summary for those who don't want to further click bait:

"Baseball/Sports" The reason.

[Javinator]

Its obvious the author is a Sony fanboy.
I hate reading these stupid opinion articles by wannaba "editors" who write crap from their basement.

[FayZ_]

i prefer the xbox one over ps4, the graphics are the same if you ignore the xbones launch 720p games mess, but most of my friends have a ps4 since it was cheaper first, looks better too. only reason why i own both, if xbone never had kinect & was cheaper at the start then it wouldve won.

[DeezR]

If don't exist, if i invested in google 15 years ago i would been a biljonair. You can't see the future neither do i. Or do you have a portal to another realm of this spectrum? So stop the bullshit.

N4G thx for still bringing gasoline to the the fire. The consoles released 9 months ago, the only difference between the consoles are the games now. Same Price, respectfully the same hardware, playstation plus and xboxlive.

Just buy what makes you happy.

[OfficerDewey]

The cgi trailers of Halo 5 , scalebound and crackdown look fantastic but truly don't got nothing on UC4 trailer which was using IN GAME engine.. IMO but Xbox's future seems unfocused.. Still might get one for Halo MCC but thats a big maybe. Fucking batteries, are you funkin serious.. Even wii u gamepad comes with a charger. Give me a $50 dollar GC with a bundle and i'll be fine.. Maybe.

[DeezR]

All y; all fanboy-ism idiots, there are only 2 reasons why you buy a console

1. Your friends playing on that console.
2. If you don't have friends, you buy the console with the better games.

Al that small talk is bullshit

[Petebloodyonion]

Honestly this has to be the lamest article ever and find it sad that it's trolling at the top of n4g.

This article scream loud CLICK BAIT OR CYBER FIGHT

Let's see:
I bought the Xbox one day one but don't like 1st party games
Ok why invest in the 100$ more expensive console if you'r there only for multiplatform games?

It lack a good baseball game?
Again MLB is known to be a good Sony franchise
bring back again to first aspect?

And I could go on and on.

[edsmack]

VG Chartz has the most articles that are such garbage. Who cares if your trading Xbox One For a PS4.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

So a website called "GottaBeMobile" is telling us that we should trade in our Xbox One.

I smell the work of David Manning.

[Jazzuri]

These types of articles just aren't necessary!

Happily purchased an Xbox one at launch and a PS4.
Here is our list of games purchased so far...

XBOX ONE - Games we own
forza 5
ryse
dead rising 3
tomb raider
assassins creed IV
titan fall
pvz garden warfare
wolfenstein
max the curse of the brotherhood
Watch Dogs
Fifa 14
Killer Instinct

PS4 - Games We Own
Infamous second son
Outlast

Unbiased take...

We game on a 1080p projector on a 3M screen seated 3-4 meters away and the differences in multiplats are barely visible so not sure what all the fuss is about between the two consoles...? It really comes down to first party titles and each system has their own strengths in this space.

Arguing over which console is better/more powerful is somewhat ridiculous as neither is the Rolls Royce it should have been.

If you want more power get a PC.

If it's the difference between what each OS offers then the xbox ones multitasking system definitely outshines the ps4's by a long shot. Mostly those who do not own both systems will disagree with this comment as they are not factually based.

When you consider most people game on < 60inch screens sitting 3-4 meters away? It's utter nonsense if they claim to see a difference between 900P & 1080P. Frame rates are a different story.

So if you can afford both get both - especially if you want to experience all the first party titles on offer.

Otherwise just enjoy the games you have on the system you have and stop bitching about one or the other.

Trade in your xbox one for a ps4 if that's what suits you or vise versa but is there really a need to write an article about it...? No not really.

Even though we barely make use of our PS4 at the moment we won't sell it or trade it in as the games we are mostly interested in are yet to come.

Gaming monogamy does not favor the individual anywhere near as much as the corporation you so dearly defend.

Polygamy is the practice or condition of owning more than one console

The opposite of polygamy is monogamy

Bigamy is the crime of being a fanboy for one system and a fanboy of its competitor at the same time

Digamy is what you call a second fanboy manifestation, after the death or divorce of you're first console

Polygamy all the way....

If you're fortunate enough to own both, buy them, if you can only afford one, just know you're getting a great system regardless of which one you buy.

[JediDiah]

I KNOW,I will play Halo Master Chief Collection till Halo 5 hits...... THEN trade it for Uncharted 4! Muahahaha!

[fonduktoe]

I own both consoles and I am the most reasonable and well adjusted person in human history blah blah blah...these comment sections would be half as long if the great double console owner heroes didn't post on every article that is clearly meant to rile up fanboys.

For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction...

"Consider the flying motion of birds. A bird flies by use of its wings. The wings of a bird push air downwards. Since forces result from mutual interactions, the air must also be pushing the bird upwards. The size of the force on the air equals the size of the force on the bird; the direction of the force on the air (downwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the bird (upwards). For every action, there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction. Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for birds to fly"

If not for counter arguments the bird would truly fall.

*Looks at topic title*

And just WHO in the hell are you? But most of all.. why the fuck should we even care?? Congratulations. Want a medal? Want some kind of recognition? Why don't you put a self imposed accomplishment on your wall about it to let others know? I HATE articles like this! So just go tell it to someone who cares. This article makes NO sense! Just "someone" who wants to tell it like it is because he thinks his Xbox one didn't please him enough to where he must write an article about it. >_>

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

honestly, the best option, if you have the money, is to get both. there are going to be games on both consoles that you should be playing if you like videogames. you may prefer one over the other but i don't think you can legitimately hate all the games for another console.

[CrObInStInE]

And this is why I won't read the article. If you are trading in your Xbox One for a PS4... And can't go out and buy a ps4... Maybe stop writing articles that make you no funds.

[supergrobi1]

And when the Master Chief Collection will be released, he buys another XBox One.

[Malacath]

Switching sides as fanboys call it is just sad and pathetic.

Brand loyalty gets you nowhere. At the end of the day the console manufacturers don't care about you they just want your money.

As for which console has best exclusives that's just opinion.

Both consoles have their exclusives. If you only own one console you miss out of exclusives on the other. So rather than moan and be a total sad pathetic fanboy idiot by switching sides you should just get both consoles.

I owned an xbox one first. But when playstion got an exclusive I wanted(infamous) I didn't switch sides I just bought a ps4. Now I own both.

All those fanboys who switch will regret it when the console they ditched gets an exclusive they want. And yes that will happen. Just because there isn't an exclusive out now they want doesn't mean there wont be one in future.

[Alsybub]

Totally agree. I've pre-ordered the white PS4 Destiny bundle. Not really for the game but for the white console. I live in the UK and we aren't getting the white PS4 but if I order from Amazon USA not only is it the white one but it's £55 ($92) cheaper than in the UK and that includes shipping and taxes. I would only ever have bought a US PS4 anyway because I own a lot of US blurays that I currently play on my import PS3. Win - win for me.

I've simply been waiting for a reason to buy one and that's good enough reason for me.

[Dorwrath]

Have both, prefer to play on my XB1 because it has more of the games I enjoy playing. TLOU and KSF were great but thats all that has interested me on the PS4 so far. Excluding indie with I'm not interested in there is a lack of PS4 titles at the moment, heres looking to 2015.

[urwifeminder]

Goodbye and good luck , sounds like a trade in the wrong direction for me though what ever floats your boat enjoy.

[Alsybub]

I'm buying a PS4 and keeping my Xbox here's why:

Choice.

Besides, I couldn't stand the financial loss of trading. It actually would feel less cost effective to trade than keep both.

[TimeSkipLuffy]

Naughty Dog! :D

[Gears_President]

That clickbait. As of two weeks ago I own both. Why should I limit myself? You can keep your fanboy card.

[lfc_4eva]

Go ahead and trade your XB1 for a PS4.

It'll really have zero impact upon the world.

[Picnic]

"Quantum Break, Fable Legends, Halo 5, and Sunset Overdrive just don’t really interest me".

Well you probably made an reasonable choice. But why did you buy the Xbox One in the first place. Ryse is a bit of fun but with little substance.

[Onixg5mer]

Switching from the Darkside and make sure you don't go rogue

[poor_cus_of_games]

I have both but I definitely prefer the ps4. Faster, better ui. Also much faster at installing and loading games. You can't beat that background processing. Also I prefer the ds4. The x1 pad feels cheap and creaks a lot for some reason.

[TimeSkipLuffy]

My main console is PS4.
I like the x1 pad thumb sticks better than the ones with the PS4. They seems like more quality to me.

But why I choose PS4 over X1 is simply the upcoming games. When I look back what games have been released on PS3 over the years I have to favor the PS4.
I don't need to look what have been released until now. It's also important what games will be released in the future. If I have 1 or 2 exclusive games more on X1 now that looks AAA that does not mean this will be the case in 3 years.

Some of the best games were released exclusively on PS. Especially japanese games :3 And I am a hardcore fan of One Piece. Therefore only BigN or PS :D

I'm lucky I have all consoles and handhelds though.

[poor_cus_of_games]

For 99p I got 2 sets of thumb stick covers for my ds4 one set is like the x1 sticks and the other are more like the ds3 sticks. They are really good quality. But yeah I've got most handhelds too. I don't wanna miss out lol.

[Iffyrhyme]

You want to trade it for a baseball game....

[victorMaje]

Bottom line, whatever you do, aim for a great gaming experience, whether on X1 or PS4.
Long live play!
