5 Reasons Why You Need to Trade in Your Xbox One Right Now

Canadian online gamers:

I know it sounds crazy, but maybe it is time to start thinking about selling or trading in your Xbox One? The PS4 is still sticking it to the Xbox One and there are no real signs of this sinking ship correcting itself. Here are a few reasons you might want to consider trading in that big ol’ black box.

[Snookies12]

Fudge that, just keep it and save to buy a PS4 along with it... No way I would trade in a system within a year or two of buying it, that's just a waste of money and you'll surely regret it when interesting exclusives start popping up on whatever system you thought you wouldn't need anymore.

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

Actually, I was going to sell my Xbox One because I wasn't using it much. I lost interest. The Titanfall hype was what convinced me to get one(My first Xbox Console eveer), but I'm bored of Titanfall already. I have nothing to play on it, but Masterchief Collection came to the rescue.

I decided to keep it and Wait for MCC. This will be my chance to get into that series. I was dying for it. Also, Sunset look really cool.

[CYCLEGAMER]

If you got bored with your Xbox, you would have definitely been bored with the ps4. Sounds to me like you invested into next gen to soon

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

@MELMAN

I have never been an Xbox Fan. I am a Sony and Nintendo guy. And believe when I say, I have never had a bore time with my PS4 because it is my console of choice, where I play 1st and 3rd party games.

It is understandable. When you own multiple consoles, there will always be one which get less love.

[user7402931]

Yes every xone owner I know is doing it

[redwin]

I'm bored at the moment and I own both: the ps4 and the xbone. About Destiny. I'm not getting it because I'm getting the new halo and I rather get that. There is no sinking ship, Nokia is just Xbox's new hand held device.

[Rockstar]

Seriously considering the bone for the MC collection.

I'll take the wait and see approach.

[mcstorm]

XiNarutoUzumaki it depends on what type of game your into but look at getting Horizon 2. If PG put the work into this game like the did the last one this will be a must have game. For me Horizon was by far the best racing games of last gen and a berth of fresh air to the racing gore.

But I do see where your coming from though. I own a Xbox one and I have bf4, Forza 5, KI, FIFA and titanfall on my Xbox one. I still play Forza a lot as I love racing games but I've not touched bf4 or FIFA since Xmas time. On the other hand I have around 15 maybe more games on the Wiiu and I have played the hell out them all.

For me at this moment in time the ps4 has nothing I'm interested in but do like the look of driver club. I can't wait for halo collection and Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox one and the Wiiu has quite a few games I'm interested in too but the biggest let down so far for me is the 3rd party support. I'm not excited for any 3rd party game on any consoles at this moment in time and I do think this could be a trend that follows this gen as I know quite a lot of people who feel the same way.

[ShinMaster]

Even if I had an Xbox One, I don't think I'd trade it in.

[CaptainObvious878]

@MELMAN

I think you're a little confused.

http://www.listwar.com/rele...

You'll notice the PS4 currently has 2 more retail games that aren't available on the xbone, so that 'indie' excuse ain't going to work here either.

I don't know why people like you keep trying to perpetuate this nonsense that the PS4 has no games when you're countered with facts every time. Why do you do it?

Why do you continue to make yourself look so silly?

[aceitman]

@CaptainObvious878 on the exclusive list plantz vs zombies modern warfare is not x1 exclusive its coming out in august http://www.ign.com/articles...
so make that 3 more retail games than x1

[ABizzel1]

5 reasons you should keep you XBO.

1. Exclusives
2. XBL friends and community
3. M$ money will support the XBO with exclusive content and services.
4. The Cloud......we'll see with Crackdown -_-
5. Preference

Those are reason enough to keep your XBO if that's what you want to do. Personally I recommended the PS4 to everyone, but the XBO is still a good console.

[Pain]

If i had a XBOXone and i don't but if i did i woulnt trade it in cuz some games make it worth it kinda ish..

I remember way back when i bought XBOX 1 for Halo and only Halo but got to play my first Edler Scrolls game and bloody hell been playing all there games since then granted on ps3 and then on PC but would have never gotten into them or got to experience them if i didn't keep my Xbox 1.

So bleh... but to each there own

[DafunkyRebel]

@MELMAN Nah NO ONE is bored of the PS4 dude, right now they are filled to the brim with online games like Blacklight, Battlefield 4, Final Fantasy XIV ARR, and even Watch Dogs.

[joab777]

Aside from Dark Souls 2 I have been playing my PS4 everyday since launch. Battlefield 4, Assassins Creed 4 and Killzone are beautiful and great games. Also Infamous may be one of the best looking console games to date (though lacking like so many open world games in content and quite repetitive...im talking to u far cry and assassins creed). And wolfenstein is a treat.

But what doesnt go mentioned often and what has taken up much of my time is DCUO & now FF14. Yes, they r on ps3 but FF14 is simply stunning on the PS4. Its looks and runs just like the PC. Lanetside and eventually H1Z1 are coming also. Throw in Warframe and War Thunder and there are so many great games u never need to leave home to play.

The PS4 has gone above and beyond my expectations and it hasn't even done anything yet. Im playing Destiny right now, tried the hardline beta and next week The Last of Us remastered is releasing. Project morpheus and Now are coming and today I played the destiny beta via remote play on my vita. I feel spoiled...and thats why Sony is winning.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

I didn't bother to read this article, but just by the title and opening, I would be pretty offended if I was an XBOX fan. Seems like a troll article to be telling people to trade in their console just because it's not selling as good as the PS4.

[UltraNova]

Its early 7th Gen all over again but the heat is on the other camp...its getting really boring around here!

Just get a bloody ps4 and let it go already.

[MasterCornholio]

@Melman26

That isn't necessarily true since both of them don't have the same library of games. For example if I owned both I would get bored of my XB1 before my PS4 because I'm currently playing FF14 on my PS4 which is an MMO in case you didn't know. And like most MMOs they can provide years worth of gameplay. Just look at all those people that got hooked on an MMO for years (World of Warcraft in my case).

[VealParmHero]

Maybe it's just me, but I'm pretty bored with both new consoles right now. They just sit there. TLoU remastered should get me going for a while though, and there's some nice games on the way this fall.

[DragonKnight]

I'm disappointed that a Canadian wrote something like this. It's incredibly shortsighted in some points, and irrelevant in others.

The only reason to ever trade in consoles is A)You need the money for something more important, or B)You're simply not using it that much and would like to put the money towards something you will use.

All of the reasons the author listed are not reasons to trade in an Xbox One. Especially the layoffs and graphics arguments.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

@Naruto

See you on the Master Chief collection my Ninja:)

[lelo]

To the author of this article.
If the Xbox One is failing, then what about the WiiU and Vita ?

This so called article or opinion piece is simply click bait.

[SpinalRemains138]

They're failing too. WiiU has picked up a bit as of late, but all 3, (One, WiiU, Vita) are seriously lagging to what they were hoped to do. Xbox One especially. A new generation and there's literally no excitement for it at all.

When it is 7 months into the lifespan and there are still day 1 editions for sale........something is radically wrong.

[Spotie]

What other products are doing doesn't have an impact on what the XB1 is doing. I won't say any of them are failing, per se, but they all could and SHOULD be doing better.

That said, I would not trade in an XB1 if I had one. It doesn't make any sense. Even though I'm no fan of Microsoft, and wouldn't buy the XB1 as it stands now, it would be stupid to trade one in, especially if I plan on getting one later on anyway.

[madworld]

for me that is more then enough after i saw this video I decide to ps4

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[k3rn3ll]

Exactly. Its poor writing too. Its ok to write opinions but with u write long diatribes with little to no facts to back your opinion, makes it seem like a middle schooler is writing. "Ps4 has more exclusive content than xbox," ok where did you come up with that? I havent seen a single article to support that.

Then to say that if Sunset Overdrive, halo MCC, Forza horizon 2 dont satisfy you you should get rid of it? Thats just crazy! Ok if you dont like any of the exclusives that will come out in this 3 month window your wasting your money? So you should eat a 200$ loss just to get rid of it. Yup thats intelligent .

[Infamazdre]

5 reasons I'll never trade it, 1.this article 2. Halo 3.Gears 4.Sunset Overdrive 5.Quantum Break and everything else from 3rd party to exclusive so this editor can suck it you trade in your Xbox sucka

[Hanuman]

Halo 5 alone, is a reason for me to pick up an XO in the near future. Trading in a console this early in it's lifecycle, sounds like a really dumb thing to do.

[k3rn3ll]

And one of his points is for money. Your losing money by trading it in. Article is a joke. Shameless "journalism." If you can even call it journalism

[Infamazdre]

This article is pure bs of course the ps4 is ooutselling the Xbox it was cheaper up until June. Smh us gamers who go to ign GameSpot n4g ect Ya we know ps4 is more powerful and in my opinion less appealing but for the majority most ppeople are going to buy the ps4 and for casuals there not going to buy a system $100 more. The ps4 is selling so well for that reason alone the casuals. The moms that told there kids no to an Xbox because it was to expensive. Things will change it would be more drastic if the Xbox undercut the ps4 by say maybe $20 or so, they matched them so catching up will be up to the games people actually want. BTW whoever wrote this article is a douche

[shadowsmoke36]

Your joking right?Just because it the same price and it has basically copied ps plus and got rid of connect don't make it a better system. It is still a weaker system and all the freedom that xbox had last generation is over things should be more evenly done as it should have been last generation. But dlc is going to start to turn as well. All this xbox is getting more power is a pipe dream as ps4 will increase as well. Neither can compete with pc but this isn't about competing with pc. Facts of the matter is no head start by microsoft, no huge price difference like the 360 had over the ps3a 200 difference by the way, no gimping one system just to make the other one seem equal. I left one more out and that was easier for developers to work with. All you have to deal with is Lies even though they both do but to lie repeatedly before the system is even out and force people into their ways was to much for most people. The games should be what matters most. But microsoft fans debunked that last generation nice try though. This article is a joke I do agree with that and I would never trade in a system to eat a loss. Microsoft clearly ran out of ideas and I saw that after games with gold copied ps plus to the T and the change of direction with apps like netflix proved it as well. But the killer was Their E3 where they clearly had nothing and just wanted to see what Sony was going to do So they could get in on the action or copy as they did kingdom hearts 3 which was originally for ps4 but no more then 5 days later went multi plat. Trust me Sony had those theaters to show off something but when they saw Microsoft basically trying to find a way to steal another exclusive.

[thenickel]

It's Kinect not connect and for crying out loud quit trolling at every turn!

[CaptainObvious878]

There's still plenty of great exclusives coming out. If you've already bought one you're better off holding onto it instead of trading it in. You'll only be losing money.

[solar]

if i owned an XB1 or PS4 id own it for as long as i could. money issues not withstanding. both pieces of hardware dont cost you money if they sit there not being played.

[Magicite]

Why would anyone buy it in first place.

[LogicStomper]

Because they're not ignorant consumers who pledge loyalty to one company and go online to trash-talk the other. Yes I'm looking at someone here and it won't take a genius to figure out who.

[NewZealander]

Lol like hell im trading it in, halo and gears are two reasons alone to own a X1, sure i could move to ps4 but i would be denying myself the chance to play two of the best franchises around, and that's not gonna happen!

i just sold my ps3 cos it spent most of last gen collecting dust.

[guyman]

If you're trying to say that the 360 had better exclusives than the ps3, then you're heavily in denial

[LogicStomper]

@guyman

He's trying to say that the PS3 games he had did not interest him as much as other games on other consoles.

Also to add, 'better exclusives' is a personal opinion, so to say that PS3 exclusives are TRULY better than Xbox exclusives or vice versa is ignorance.

[kryteris]

a friend of mine resold within a year 3 ps3. And made a profit until the slim was released. Of course we probably wont see a drastic change this round unless the gank the bluray.

[TruthInsider]

All those points are vaild, the damage control from Xbots is ludicrous. 
Dx12, the cloud, Titanfall, pricecuts, free games, sunset Overdrive, E3, ditching Kinect, reversal of policies, Upclock of CPU, upclock of GPU, remove paywall, add PS+ like free games etc... 
Can you not see what a mess this thing is? 
They tried everything and failed. 
This is not even including the looney bin at misterxmedia with the 5-6TF stacked GPU, 16 core CPU, 128MB ESRAM, DDR4 RAM, 4k games etc.

You Xbots clutch at any straw and us PS4 owners are just watching, laughing at you all embarrassing yourselves.

Face facts, Microsoft sold you a data mining trojan horse masquerading as a games console and got caught out, now they having to change it all to look like it was designed as a games console but because it given crap parts to make way for the real money making data mining parts it is left wanting. 
You fell for it hook line & sinker, i'd be embarrassed and ashamed if i had given Microsoft my money.

THEY TRIED TO TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS TOO!!!

[rubyserg]

Calm down idiot, they're trying to appeal to the crowd with what they wanted to be on the Xbox One. They've been adding all that junk from the customers telling them to add it. So kid, hop off that Sony dildo and enjoy your preferred system while others enjoy THEIRS.

[Gunstar75]

I hope you feel better now you've got that lot off your chest!!

it must be so satisfying being a Brony

[jamsam360]

@Phil_75 Why you got to sound like a complete DICK? Calm down you like your PS4, I like my Xbox One! Get over this competition Crap!

[Spenok]

Exactly. Why would you sell something for less than half of what you paid for it when just like you said, there eventually WILL be something exclusive to the console you will want to play sometime down the line.

I don't even have one, and right now there is nothing I want the system for. However I have been thinking about purchasing it for the simple fact there WILL be something sooner or later. They just need to stop making their games for PC as well so I can have a reason to buy one. I mean the deal only got sweeter for me when they removed Kinect, so I'm THAT much closer to buying one. I just don't have that reason yet.

But who knows, I just may sometime soon.

[reaperofsouls]

Just don't buy one in the first place!

[geddesmond]

@Melman26

How could you get bored of your PS4 with games like FF14, Warframe and infamous on your PS4. My PS4 has been on for hours every day since buying it and FF14 has so much content after more than 2 months playing it online. I still have a long way to go before I do everything and I still can't wait to get home from work everyday to play it. Does that sound like being bored?

[josephayal]

i want an xbox one

[JBSleek]

1. The first argument is stupid and clearly shows you are not a journalist. Yes 18,000 jobs will be laid off in the upcoming year with 2/3 coming from the recent purchase of Nokia. Outside of the recent departure of the TV studio Xbox is fine.

2. Destiny is unproven. Also this is the reason you should own both a Xbox One and PS4.

3. Trade in value isn't a good argument to get rid of a console this early.

4. Yes Xbox One graphics will not match PS4 and it doesn't have to. If you have compelling games and services people will buy them.

5. I guess I can agree yet it seems their main priority is bringing great games and that is starting this fall with what I consider the best exclusive lineup of all other consoles.

At the end of the day get both consoles if you can. 2015 is gonna be great and owning both consoles will be huge in the future. As well as a Wii U can't go wrong with Zelda and Mario.

[HyperBear]

100 Agree!! I can't believe this came from a site called "Canadian" online gamers, actually makes me question a lot of their reasoning and motives.

Bottom Line: Keep your Xbox One and enjoy it, DO NOT Trade it in and get a PS4, especially not because of the reasons this author mentioned.

[Digital_Anomaly]

What does the country of origin have to do with anything? You know what... maybe you're right. All Canadians know about are hockey, poutine, beer, maple syrup and getting nasty with their socks on... THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED!

At the end of the day it's JUST AN OPINION KIDS. Try not to get your panties burnin' so hard, you'll singe your meat curtains!

[HyperBear]

@Colts_15

Maybe if you actually clicked on my name and seen where I'm from and where I live, guess what...I'm Canadian!!! And I'm just appalled at this article/opinion piece cause it actually makes absolutely no sense and actually is sad that it game from a so-called "Canadian" publication, cause usually our journalists don't make up ridiculous articles like this.

Granted, as you said, It's just an opinion. But sometimes opinions actually have to make sense and have some credibility towards them, or else they turn out like this article did and just become a flamebait for the fanboy wars.

[lsujester]

Colts- Canadians getting nasty wearing socks? WTF is wrong those people? :)

[UnitedGamer]

@Colts....I can't believe you work for that site and actually posted this crap. Please tell me you were not the one who wrote this? and please tell me you don't find any of the points in this article to be valid?

Cause if you truly believe everything that's in this article, you might need to see a doctor. Still can't believe you submitted this crap though...

[Axios2]

Well said; also

1. Sony has closed s 3 studios, and their credit rating is JUNK as per Fitch and Moody's rating. Sony has lost Billions EVERY year for 6 straight years despite selling numerous properties and shares to try and post a profit.

2. Destiny is on X1

3. lol

4. PS2, PS3 all couldn't compete with OX and 360 in mutltiplatform games and they still survived.

5. See 1

[lifeisgamesok]

Great post. 2 more games for Xbox One people are leaving out this year

1. D4 (still showing a 2014 release time frame)
2. Ori and the Blind Forest

[imt558]

@lifeisgamesok

Quote :

2. Ori and the Blind Forest

Khm....i smell PC version. Ori is NOT Xbone exclusive.

[kantenkopf]

Also he forgot, that the build quality of the Xbox One is far ahead from the PS4. The console as well as the DS4 feel cheap, even cheaper than an Acer Laptop. And I'm not a fanboy, since I am a PlayStation gamer since the PS1 came out and I had the PS4. To be more accurate I had three of them, the last one two weeks ago, and every console was broken.

As well as the whole remastered crap going on, horrible UI if you have more than five games, no FW updates incoming. I could go on all day.

The Xbox One is the superior console when it comes to Features, PS4 is the place to be for gamers who want more than just shooters and mainstream games.

Anyway I'm sick of consoles at the moment, waiting for new revisions and joining the PC "master race".

And btw 1000% agree.

[SpinalRemains138]

You're joking right? Build quality superior on XOne?

That's absurd. This is MS 3rd attempt at a console and the power brick is still there, on the cord! The machine is twice the size of what it should be, solely because they wish to avoid what happened last Gen with the RRoD.

Stop with the build quality. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

[Artista]

lol.. I'm also waiting for hardware revisions, especially the PS4. It is too noisy for me at the moment. . some say it sounds like a jet engine ^_^. Plus, the games I want to play ain't out till next year anyways.

The Xbox is whisper quiet but Large. I don't mind that tho' so long as it doesn't sound like jet engine. I prefer the controller over PS4s

I'm still playing the waiting game. . my Wii U is good enough for me right now.

[q8kik]

suuure ....

[SmielmaN]

Artista: my PS4 is quiet. Troll harder next time

[gamerhecz]

@spinalremains138 I kinda actually like the power brick on the outside. Less chance of it over heating. I have both and my ps4 heats up way more than xbox one. And half of the console is a vent, so props to that and you say its twice the size it should be? Yeah cause you definitely know the specifications of a console, they made the xbox one big for a reason.

[HugoDrax]

@SmielmaN
"Artista: my PS4 is quiet. Troll harder next time"

Sorry! the PS4 is quiet, but it is far from WHISPER QUIET like the XB1. The XB1 is dead silent, you don't hear anything. No matter what task the console is performing, it is dead silent.

That is fact! I own both. @Artista isn't trolling.

[Doge]

Trade it in for what exactly? I already have a PS4, Wii U, and a pretty powerful PC.

[choujij]

In that case, for more games and accessories. :P

[Mexxan]

This article is ranting shire talk. Now I am the biggest moaner of how my X1 is just gathering dust - all I play on is my '4 and Wii U. But this guy is chatting pure rubbish.

[ScorpiusX]

Let me put in a much simpler response No , but thank u for your concern .

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

I didn't get my Xb1 to be my main console, I have a PS4 for that. My Xb1 is for exclusives only.

[JBSleek]

My experience is the exact opposite. PS4 for exclusives and Xbox One for the rest.

[nix]

quite a surprising choice considering this gen PS4 has better multiplatform games. isn't this gen suppose to be ps4 for their exclusive games (which is going to be huge looking back at how ps3's collection was) and multiplatform games? xbox one for their exclusives.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

Interesting. I'd thought it would have been PS4 and XB1 for exclusives and the PC for the rest for you. Not that I'm surprised that's your current experience though.

[PsylentKiller]

That was my mindset starting out. I have about 16 games for the Xbox One including the three free games with Gold. I have about 19 games on PS4. About 16 were free with PS+. I think it's AC4, Flower, and Chess. Oh and I bought Trine 2 before it was free.

I like the Xbox controller better. But playing the Destiny beta these past couple of days has got me used to playing a FPS with the DS4. I think I may start to buy more games for the PS4. Maybe I'll go where the exclusive content is but with Destiny, I love the game so much, I am most likely going to buy it for both systems.

[TomahawkX]

If you have both current-gen consoles then the 3+ exclusives make it worth owning the other box, just like the wii u, unless money is an issue than I would definitely keep both.

If you can only have 1 console then it comes down to which exclusives do you want more.

[HaveSumNuts]

Gotta say all I really want an XB1 for is Quantum Break but PS4 on the other hand has Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 and Last of Us which I must have.

[thexmanone]

I would sell your PS4, Its only a matter of time until Sony folds. They only have some many buildings they can sell.

[saint_seya]

Meanwhile Sony hiring for studios, MS firing 18k people.. The logics of a X-box fanboy..
Also selling twice as much is probably bad for sony right? selling more software is bad for sony, i mean, that is terrible for sony.. Crushing X-box one in every possible way is bad for Sony.. SONY IS DOOM... Sell your ps4 right now /s

[JBSleek]

You both are stupid fanboys who lack logic on both sides

[mhunterjr]

Wait, so I should trade over my Xbox because more people have a ps4? Should I have traded in my ps3 because more people had a wii?

[saint_seya]

Shoulda have had a ps3 in the first place...
I can trade my imaginare plane for a boat.. is that a good trade?

[Volkama]

You found someone willing to trade a real boat for an imaginary plane? Omg take the deal before they change their mind!

[mysteryraz11]

keep it if you want I got a ps4 though

[mrpsychoticstalker]

I didn't really waste my time reading this article, but thanks for the good effort.

There's nothing on the PS4 that attracts me (opinion)

I game xbox since the beginning and will continue to do, I also owned ps1 ps2 ps3 and still sticked to xbox.

Only reason I bought a ps3 was because of God of War. It's probably the only reason why I would buy the ps 4 if there's ever another God of War.

But of course, no trading necessary.

[Tedakin]

There are no signs of it correcting itself, except for it doubling its sales in one month and heading towards surpassing Wii U to become the second place console.

[MonstaTruk]

"Sell high"

Couldn't have said it any better myself...

[typittt69]

Garbage article.

[a411411]

i agree with most of his statements. paying 500$ plus tax and have the inferior system. developers struggling to reach 1080p on whats considered a next gen console. This year is 5 months over i don't believe any of the exclusives Microsoft have this year will sway people from the multiplatform games like cod/destiny etc. Next year exclusives will hit the mark for Sony and Microsoft will not top the amount of exclusives (Good Exclusives) Sony will have for the lifespan of the PS4. #Opinion

[BlakHavoc]

It's probably best you have both but if you could only afford 1 I'd go with the ps4, it'll simply be the better console to play this gen because it'll have a larger install base. X1 won't crash and burn like this guy believes but I don't think much will help it's case. People think the 7th and 8th installments of halo will help which is funny to me, but sunset and forza won't do much either. The fact that they're losing in the US is alarming, if they can't dominate the US & UK they'll lose this gen by a huge margin.

[SideNote]

I really want Microsoft to announce what us xbox one owners have to look forward too, because im so close to trading mine to play The last of us, lbp 3, and the order. I'm tired of waiting now.

[gamertk421]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[jholden3249]

My primary console is Wii U, and my secondary console is PS4. I still went ahead and bought an Xbox One- guess you could call it my tertiary console. And while my X1 sees less play time than any of my other consoles (or handhelds, for that matter), I still wouldn't want to sell it.

I bought an Xbox for exclusives only. Obviously games will be few and far between, but that's ok. I'm in favor of MORE games and options, not less. And selling a console would mean LESS.

[saint_seya]

Stupid article.. the reason why people bought a x-box one is because they like the games that know will be on x-box one. Forza, halo, gears, fable etc.
People dont need to be told what to buy or what to do with the things they bought.
Thats why i laught when the "no games" argument starts on ps4, the hype will die and all.. people buy what they want.. most people wants a ps4, a lot wants an x-box one, and also a lot want wii u.. noone can tell me or others what to buy.. and if someone buys something is because they want it.

[IAM]

Id like to buy your mother.

[Jag-T1000]

Are you stupid! No way I trade in my Xbox One.

[Demoa]

how about no. the ps4 is a borefest with no games and terrible fanbase

[ZerobyZero]

actually the ps4 has more games that XBOX ONE

[fuertespedos10]

Im not playing destiny. He said everyone is playing it so I felt out. Thank you Canada you hurt my feelings. Nah destiny is no good.

[Legacy212]

Funny I just sold my ps4 lol

[Geekman]

What pretencious moron would trade in a console with a year or two of its lifetime?

And this article is complete crap. I'm still thinking it could be satire. "Destiny is the only game people are talking about." What is WRONG with you? People were just swarming over Doom, and before that Smash Bros! The Xbox One is getting Doom AND Destiny! AND HALO! Lack if exclusive content is no reason to rade in your Xbox! Heck, I don't even own an Xbox One but I recognize crap articles when I see it!

[marioJP87]

Nah, i sometimes forget i have a PS4 because I am always on my xbox one. Thanks to Titanfall. I am just waiting for something to play on my PS4. I can't even play infamous longer than 10 minutes anymore.

[kingdom18]

How on earth do articles like these get approved?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I'll give you one guess and even a clue... it has nothing to do with logic.

[Dontworrybhappy]

Ahhhh no. I'm playing my X1 more often than my PS4 at the moment. The only game I'm looking forward to playing on PS4 this year is TLOU. Maybe 2015 will be better for Playstation. Actually probably will be awesome by the looks of it already.

[UKzZBULLET]

I started playing destiny beta on my ps4 but that's it play the Xbox one more.

[OpieWinston]

Worst reasons I've ever read...

Was the whole Destiny thing supposed to be a joke?

This is really making me ashamed to be Canadian...morons like this fool.

[typittt69]

My thoughts exactly. That guy is un tabarnak d'imbécile

[TheTwelve]

Definitely sell high if you must own one console and you own an X1. It won't be long until there will be another X1 pricecut and then the sell-high days will be past.

[Redspeed93]

This is one of the dumbest articles I've ever read. The write is the definition of an biased, ignorant fanboy.

[Thomaticus]

Its okay to have two consoles. One is going to get more time over the other, and thats okay. I rather have both consoles than forcing myself to choose one over the other.

[UKzZBULLET]

This guy does not have a cule. Is he even a gamer??? Xbox one is not a failure I am sick of this Xbox hate... Just buy both so that way you won't miss out ( like I have ) sell you're Xbox one is this guy mad.

[madworld]

see this video and you decide to ps4 like what i did I cancel my Xbone and pre ordered my shiny ps4

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[OC_MurphysLaw]

To the author..... LOL...no.

[The_devils_chum]

Theres no way i would ever own a xbox one but if i did the 5 reasons i would most deffinately trade it in would be.
1. Weaker console with little hope for improvement.
2. Theres no secret sauce.
3. DX DUD
4. Cloud vaporized
5. Within a few years sony will have a much much better game library similar to the ps2 days.

[OpieWinston]

1. You clearly don't know what Software optimization is, and that's pretty evident from PAST hate rants. You don't understand the first thing about how gaming development works.
2. How would you know there's no "Secret Sauce"... I don't buy into the delusion but if there was a "Secret Sauce" it'd be Secret and since you clearly go down on Sony we know you don't have any ties with MS.
3. You clearly don't play PC games, because Direct X is probably the most optimized API out there.
4. Considering MS hasn't shown enough on Cloud, I wouldn't count it out. Wait for Crackdown.
5. You're clearly delusional bud...PS4 is going to have a similar library to PS3... Strong Story Driven cinematic games all around with a few other titles in the middle.
Man you don't know ANYTHING about either console and company do you?

[FayZ_]

so what indies are so great if ps4 is the option?

[Gamer777]

Most of the authors points don't make much sense.
1. Sony had lays off to restructure and make the company more efficient. MS has excess employees due to purchasing Nokia. Also the layoffs aren't in the games division, if some where it would be minor.
2. Destiny isn't even fully released yet and its' a multiplat on 4 systems.
3.Trading a 500/400 dollar console, that is less than a year old for $ 215.00 is not a good deal.
4. Graphics on all current gen consoles will improve.
5. MS is pushing 1st party harder now to compete with Sony's strong lineup of franchises. This is good for gamers. We are still less than a year into the XB1 life cycle and you think its doomed ?

[urwifeminder]

No way would I trade my xboxone unless it was for xboxtwo ,a ps4 is just not something I want at all .

[Flames76]

Another slow day for the sony fanoys.They are just getting pathetic now.They know sony is a sinking ship and wants microsoft to go down with them.Sorry not gonna happen.Now please stop these pathetic posts and get a life.Hey we didnt tell you to buy a PS4 which had no games for it.Got something for all the sony fanboys enjoy

http://digitalcrack.wordpre...

[AO1JMM]

Click bait and I suggest everyone doen vote the site.

[DougLord]

You need to trade in your PS4 so you can buy an X bone to play MCC and Sunset Overdrive. Aren't you sick of having nothing to play?

This article should be banned for trolling.

[tommygunzII]

It's like trying to get a victim to leave an abusive relationship. They didn't heed our warnings and made the choice, let them live with it.

Point #6 - Most Xbox games can be played on PC.

[coffinxnails]

such a terrible article.

Are you really telling me one of the reasons to get rid of my xbone Is because more people will be playing destiny on the ps4? Even with the smaller playerbase it will be physically impossible for me to play with EVERY person that owns it on the xbone.

I hope this resolution dick waving dies out over the next year or so because it's getting old. If you REALLY care about graphics that much just get a PC because I hate to break it to you but both the ps4 and xbone look like ass compared to a mid range PC build.

Also be careful what you wish for sony fan boys bragging about how many more people have ps4 right now. all this bragging is going to attract the attention of all the 12 year old racist call of duty kids into your world.

To those of you that prefer ps4 over xbone im happy that you found a console that you enjoy. Let's just keep it civil.

[jts1891]

Why does n4g keep approving these click bait articles that have no basis in fact? The X1 is not a 'sinking ship'. It's selling better than the 360 did in the same time frame. Were the PS3 and 360 failures because the Wii outsold them both by a wide margin? No? Then why is the X1 a failure when the PS4 is outselling it?

[theRell]

lol No. And this is why no one pays attention to Canada.

[JediDiah]

I rather keep the One that has both Destiny AND Halo on it.

[stripe814]

why trade it in if you can sell it on ebay, craigslist, and kijiji..fraction higher than trade in value..

[ShaqSoda]

Those reason's dont do it for me.
1. Layoffs: 12000 of the 18000 were to Nokia Phones.
2. Xbox has Destiny too, exclusive content is timed.
3. $215 for my $500 console, $60 member ship, and $60 games?
4. The graphics aren't that big of a difference, and I believe the Xbox One's graphics will hit 1080p for every game in the future with new updates.
5. Yes the ps4 is more popular but that's not a reason to switch to it.

Anyways I am going to buy a ps4 when I save up money and keep my xbox one.

[Eejanaika]

I own both and im not trading in either. these n4g posts are pretty lame

[GoPanthers999]

This flame bait rubbish article needs to be taken down as trolling. Thanks.

[Goku781]

1. XBox One is viewed as toxic, with bad reputation.
2. Majority of players have moved over to PS4 for their console of choice
3. MS is known for not supporting their hardware as long as Sony.
4. Xbox One does not have a clear vision, identity, or future even with in MS at the time.
5. Xbox One is struggling just trying to produce graphics close to the PS4 and expect people to pay the same price for sub standards.

Its not worth it.

[Artemidorus]

Never read so much garbage on this site for a while. I can give you ten reasons Not to buy a PlayStation 4

[hiawa23]

Meh, I am enjoying my X1 more than my PS4, no way would I trade it in. Interesting, odd topic, even by N4G standards..

[hiawa23]

Sinking ship is going overboard. Nonsense..

[Gears_President]

Seems that your opinion is misguided. Trading a system in this early in its life cycle cant be a viable course of action, especially when its getting the amount of support that its getting M$oft. Not to mention its core games have yet to be released. Ill keep mine sir, thanks.

[TheBoy]

With Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive and my most anticipated title, Master Chief Collection releasing this year, why would I trade in my XB1? I'm more inclined to trade in my PS4 as none of the exclusives releasing this year and early next year interest me.

In fact, this article has inspired me to trade in my PS4. PC, Wii U and XB1 is all I need for 2014. Wake me when Uncharted 4 releases so my dust collector, sorry, PS4 will be used again.

[press-start]

catching feelings lol

[Trekster_Gamer]

just another flamebait article not even worth the read. I didn't even click on the link still extremely happy with my xbox one!

[masterfox]

agree.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Sony fanboys are the worst.

[chaosx]

Have both , this is the beginning of the console cycle , both are going to have awesome games released…. why trade the xb1? save up and get a PS4 . Why miss out on any games.

[Gamer666]

I find it appalling what gets posted in the gaming media.

No gaming media site should post crap like this about any console.

I just added canadianonlinegamer to my no visit list.

I have all three consoles this gen and they are all fine.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Follow the obvious pattern.

Agenda driven articles attacking Xbox are ALWAYS on the front page of this site. Always.

These articles almost always come from sites you've never heard of or rarely visit.

This is David Manning all over again. And the proof is in the who is records.

Don't fall for the click bait. The good news is a major search engine is about to punish click baiters with a drastic change to their search engine algorithm. Soon all of the shill post click baiting garbage you see posted on N4G will be flushed down the Internet toilet where it belongs. Some people are even making a case against this very site.

[Malacath]

If you trade in xbox one in for ps4 just for lack of games you will be disappointed.

The ps4 doesnt have much either. I own both playstations and both xboxes and I find I still use my xbox360 and ps3 a lot because I have nothing to play on the new consoles.

[typittt69]

I wouldn't trade my xb1 for a ps4 and i wouldn't trade my ps4 for an xb1.

[sega gaga]

If you are a true gamer, the only thing you care about is the games you want to play. And don't give a damn about 99% of the game news & blogs because it has become one big hell hole
that ain't worth putting time in these days.

[outsider1624]

what about my ps3 guys? should i sell it for a Ps4! i've had it since 2010. It's been 4 years now and i've owned around 30+ games.

I've found two buyers 15k (INR)for games and 15k(INR) just for the console

[OfficerDewey]

Xbox fans had a rough week, you can tell on every comment.It's like they have nothing to play. To read, ps4 has no games and ori the bling forest is 2014 title, show xbox fans are a confused bunch. P. Spencer said in e3 conference these are the games for 2015. Starting it with Ori and blind forest. Every week there seems to be a new game on PS4 . Crimsonland last week. Destiny beta is awesome!! Can't wait for my xbox friend to try it next week. --Never trade in any systems.

[SideNote]

Although, I can think of 5 great reasons not too.This is just my opinion, but the reason i haven't got a ps4.
1) The xbox ones multitasking features. Being able to jump from game to game, Netflix etc and back with ease.
2) The 1080 kinect camera that also see's in the dark and has amazing voice recognition.
3) Snap features, enabling skype while you play etc.
4) Microsofts game icons, Halo, Gears of War, Banjo Kazooie, Conker, perfect Dark, and Forza.(Which i guarantee all will see new games)
5) Xbox One is getting better and better, and who knows its true potential.

[gravelchalice]

It's a pretty biased article that doesn't pay any attention to xbox positives but it does raise a few good points. Neither console has many great games yet, they'll both have lots in 18 months.

[Sh0ckWav3]

What a dumb article.

[RosweeSon]

This is why I just didn't buy one, not saying never just definately not this year and quite probably not next year I'll wait til they've knocked more more off the price (sooner than you'd think, prob chrimbo) and the launch games will be half price and they might actually have 2/3 games then worth purchasing the system for, not just average games proper top notch ones, happy to wait this out whilst I play everything else except PC ;)

[chuckyj1]

Wish people would STFU and simply buy the system they like. Doesn't matter if X1 is a sinking ship. If an individual likes the following game franchises:
Forza, Forza Horizon, Gears of War, Fable, Halo, crackdown, Killer Instinct, and Rare games (Which, may start making good ones again now that Kinect is less of a focus).

That alone seems like more than enough reasons to own X1.

Same goes for PS4. There is a large number of exclusives that make it worth owning.

To each their own.

[LightDiego]

Stupid article, just that.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Erm mo thanks, there is games on both consoles I want to play...
I will be honest and say its been about a month since I last played Xbox One, but big deal it cost a weeks wages. Why the hell would I sell a console before the games Im actually interested in even came out?

[CptFlashHeart]

I had 6 Xbones die on me for various reasons and after a long drawn out argument with MS I got the retailer to refund me after 6 months and bought a PS4 instead. Much happier camper now, and that's after owning 360 for 7 years. Xbone will be good, there's no denying that but right now it sucks in every area for me. I wouldn't recommend trading it in just yet but after all my problems I refused to try another.

(Just in case you all think I'm lying - here's one of the DOA consoles)

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[y7jzdgy]

Yeah I had 5 die on me (RRoD) but didn't pay out of pocket for any of them MS covered everything. Not to mention sent me a lot of freebies for my inconvenience. Which makes me kind of suspicious of your story. You make it seem like MS made you pay for the repairs or something like that. So what was your problem exactly? I'm asking because as you can see I too had some issues with broken 360's but I still love Xbox no change there.

[Father__Merrin]

reasons to keep xbox

1, cloud support
2, direct X 12
3, aaa blockbusters

[JorboTron]

This is ridiculous. Trade in a console in its infancy this fall and 2015 there will be lots of reasons to own an xbox one. It doesn't matter if it's being outsold hardware wise. Attach rates are still really good for the one. Last gen Sony and Microsoft got outsold by the wii, they really should of bowed out while they had the chance /s

[VectorSigma]

what part of my personal opinion do you freaks don't understand? Seriously pout a tampon in and stop the bleeding bots last I checked someone can have an opinion if you didn't like the article why the hell did you read it knowing what was going to be said? You people get upset when some one gives their opinion about a product then turn around and bash another product and guess what it's your OPINION! See how that works.

[y7jzdgy]

Really? If you post an opinion on the Internet expect it to criticized with other opinions. I can't believe I had to say that to someone. *sigh*

[SaffronCurse]

Those reasons are pretty stupid. Keep your consoles, people.

[Revengeance]

I wouldn't trade one in right now if I had it, but it's still struggling. I'm barely finding any games I want for it.

[Hardcore_gamerxbox]

I'll give you one reason u shouldn't trade your Xbox one for indie station 4 you get more AAA games on Xbox one than ps4 and seriously Sony fans need to get a life stope bashing Xbox one all the time

[killcole]

"Microsoft is laying off folks and Sony isn't".
Microsoft are also far better off financially than Sony.
I thinks somebody's websites hits have took a down turn recently. Drum up a nice bit of flame bait for traffic.

[MarcoGT]

I've been think of doing the same with ps4, fuck all to play on it at the moment but I'll keep it for future awesomeness.

[Keregan]

Lol the whole 5 reasons are homemade bull shit....next

[SliceOfTruth888]

Lol who wrote this a 6th grader?

[danthegamerfiend]

I know I will be flamed for this comment but honestly this article should be about, 5 reasons why the wii-u is better then the xbone and ps4. I give you guys my opinon.

1 BIG exclusive games (mario kart)
2 and more exclusive games that are already out (super mario wii u, donkey kong, super mario 3d wii u)
3. backwards compability( super smash bros!!!!)
4. free online play with similar ecosystem to xbone (mii universe)
5. I can play my games on a touch screen pad without bugging anyone else. You would surpised as i was on usefully it actually is.

And the thing only costed me $200!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a xbone and i find the games that are out for both next gen consoles are rather stale. No killer app like halo was for orginal xbox. I believe the wiiu has that killer app with mario kart.

[horndog]

That's funny. I was just thinking of going to get a second this weekend for the play room. Think I will. Thought about getting a ps4 but I already have tons of indies on my phone.

[RexDD]

Flame bait. Next.

[inf3cted1]

I have more reasons to trade in my PSVita right now. Maybe you should make an article about that...

[neomahi]

When I started out last gen, I was so impressed with the Xbox I chose over the PS2, that I got an Xbox 360 and my friends all had one. I bought into HD DVD as well thinking it was going to be the format to come out on top. I bashed the PS3 every chance I got too. And then, tax season came around and my buddy got a PS3 and begged me to go check it out. I caved under enough pressure and in the end was impressed and from then on didn't care what anyone else said. I saw Virtual Fighter 5. That was it. I'd played Gears of War already but I only saw VAY and Super Rub-A-Dub and I could see what had lied ahead. I plopped down $500 and said "Give me a PS3".

I could see the future better than most. I had Bluray and gave up on HD DVD. I took a lot of guff from my friends and others in conversation. I watched reviews and cross - comparison roll in and got slapped down every time but, I didn't care. What I had made me happy and as I showed my friends the PS3, all that misconception disappeared and they gave up their 360 and got a PS3. They didn't care. Uncharted came out, God of War III came out, now we see Beyond Two Souls, The Last of Us, Puppeteer, Uncharted 3, InFamous and InFamous 2. That impression made it all the easier to adopt the PS4 with a strong focus on first-party. PS3 humbled Sony and forced them not to rely on third - party but to also strengthen that relationship. Nintendo had a falling out two generations in a row with N64 and GameCube but got cooky with Wii. Still, with a strong first-party, I have a PS4 and a Wii U.

Sony started out weak with PS3 but ultimately outsold Xbox 360 placing Microsoft dead last in the last gen. Microsoft could do the same if Sony gets arrogant enough.As for games on both systems, Microsoft has the bulk bought and paid for. GameStop will always market Xbox as the console to own and the bulk of their staff have always been pro Xbox. My GameStop manager evangelize Xbox One over PS4 still. Third - party is the same. Microsoft will continue to buy off EA and Activision pushing consoles to keep parity. The only differences you'll see in games are first-party which, like last gen, Sony will dominate.

The point is, PS3 was the step - child last gen, and for the most part, Sony changed their tune and came out on top. Microsoft could do the same, although their hardware technically isn't superior, not that the 360 was either.

What is going to cause problems with Microsoft, other than losing their home turf, are in the same vain losing to a huge market in Asia where Sony announced its launching against Microsoft. China surveys show PS4 is crushing Xbox One so, I guess better luck with Xbox Zwei. But, don't count them out just yet. Sony dripped to $299 and released Uncharted 2 and turned the tide and sent Sony flying in a better direction. While it didn't smash the competition like PSX and PS2 did, it managed to defy all odds and put Microsofts Xbox 360 in dead last again beat out only by the Wii.

[ironwolf]

Reason #6

Too poverty stricken to afford both. Maybe it would be best to sell everything and buy a sandwich.

[reaperofsouls]

only 5 reasons?

[josephayal]

nice article

[phantomxll]

Really? If anyone trades in their Xbox because of this article you are a fool. It hasnt even been a year yet!!!

[ThatOneGuyThere]

"Biggest New IP of All Time" <- what does that even mean?

[RaptgamersUnited]

I've been waiting for a new Killer Instinct forever... Now I have it! is it worth 500 hell no but If I were to trade it in it would be for a PC now a day's. I own both systems and love my PS4.
But I see a transition on the horizon that no console gamer will be able to ignore. PC gaming will be King as you see already. Sony has got there shit together again and PS4 will be the only gaming console to game on for great IP's. Destiny I saw the game already no big deal just like Watch Dogs a sub par next-gen game. With companies like Naughty Dog and Dice really pushing the envelope Xbox has it's work cut out for itself.
And this is coming from a long time Xbox fanatic.

[PingasoFromHell]

5 reasons why to trade your playstation 4

1. Few extra features
2. Not much AAA games
3. You can get a lot for it right now
4. Not so great servers for a generation that depends on online gameplay
5. Sony most likely will go bankrupt in the next 3 years

That's a good article

[Artemidorus]

Just found out Xbox One is getting 3d Blu Ray yet ANOTHER reason why you should not trade it in.
