Why I Bought A PS4 Despite Having An Xbox One

IM PLAYIN's Romnomnom discusses why he has finally decided to purchase both consoles.

[Snookies12]

Because there are awesome exclusives and a whole other community with a different console? That's generally what makes me want to buy new systems.

[NatureOfLogic_]

Simply put, PS4 is the best console available right now. PS4 is looking to dominate the competition when It comes to exclusives this year. Why wouldn't you want the console with superior multiplats and more exclusives. With PS4 you know you're getting a premium console experience. PS4 is the easy choice this year.

[towelie1288]

Lol hahahhahah. Opinions indeed

[UnHoly_One]

You sound like a Sony commercial.

[jockeynobler]

lol well said. xbone has halo, crackdown, quantum break ps have uncharted, lbp, killzone and infamous. both are good in their own way

[nowitzki2004]

Xbox one doesnt have any of those yet.

[Macdaddy71]

I am a die hard X1 gamer,, but I did buy a ps4, two reason!!!! To play the games I can only play on ps4 n to get the free monthly games from Sony n sells....
Take walking dead season 1 n 2 was on sell for $25 on x1 n $12 for both on ps4... I bought them on ps4 to get them cheaper,...if u are a die hard gamer owning both systems you will get a lot more for your money owning X1 n ps4.... You would be crazy not to buy both...l

[souldestroyer14]

You must of missed the telltale sale on xb1. I got walking dead season 1 and 2, game of thrones, tales of the borderlands and the wolf amount us with all of the season passes for 50 bucks

[Elimin8]

Because you wanted one??

[MSpence516]

It's your money, spend it how you like. No one needs to justify any purchase they chose to make. Only fanboys do this.

[christocolus]

spot on. bubble up.

[nowitzki2004]

I hope he didnt just realize there is great games on PS4.

[gameon1985]

I Bought A PS4 Despite Having An Xbox One...because I am a real gamer. However, I do prefer xbox One.

[Mechanism]

Literally, no one cares..

[MasterCornholio]

Calling single platform owners "fake gamers" doesn't put you in a positive light.

[whoyouwit04]

I think he/she means that's his personal reason for owning both (if he/she does owns them). If they would have said unlike some people then I would agree with you, but there is no where in his comment he/she calls any one fake.

[MasterCornholio]

@who

He did say that he's a real gamer because he bought a PS4 and an Xbox One. Which means that he is also claiming that people who aren't real gamers are those that only own one console.

He could have stated it in a different way.

For example, I own both because they both offer me games that I want to play.

And thats without insulting single platform owners.

[SaveFerris]

@gameon1985 didn't mention owning a WiiU. I'm not sure if @gameon1985 is really qualified to call themselves a 'real gamer'.

[cfeste]

No, but most single platform owners are biased.

[Master-H]

You're biased as shit, and always childishly stealth trolling ps stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if you were lying right now.

[cfeste]

Me too, i have PS4 but cannot stand the crap DS4 controller. Xbone controller is the best IMHO.

[nowitzki2004]

Come on dude all you had tto do is type

.

and everyone would know what you are talking about

[Tedakin]

Why I always own both consoles.... because Uncharted, God of War here.... Halo, Gears of War there....

[Chanogram]

Answer: Because you are a gamer, and have the means (money) to do so. All other reasons are pointless.

[WickedLester]

Because it's an exquisitely awesome console and if you're a serious gamer you have no reason NOT to own one.

[lemoncake]

If you don't own all three consoles you are going to miss out on some great games.

[urwifeminder]

Would rather a wii u than a ps4 pc xb1 is enough for me.

[playstation4epic]

obviously you are a fanboy

[nowitzki2004]

Ur name and pic dont make you look too good either lol

[playstation4epic]

i love playstation, grew up with it infact but im still an objective person and can see where ps4/ xbox one have their pros and cons

[Satyre28]

As an Xbox One owner since day one, i must say i am planning on buying a PS4 in the coming months. This is the generation that if you do not own both an X1 and a PS4 you are going to miss out on some amazing games. 2015 is shaping up to be one of the biggest and best gaming years ever, so many exclusives from both sides and they are all looking to be fantastic.

I am leaving out the Wiiu for the simple fact that the exclusives they offer simply do not interest me.

[uth11]

it was because of the light bar, wasn't it? It's ok to admit it!

[nowitzki2004]

That sexy touchpad. I always wanted something extra to touch.

[blakstarz]

Why not have the best of both worlds? I own both and they are awesome consoles in their own right.

[WeAreLegion]

I had a Wii U, PS4, and PC. I still bought an Xbox One for Sunset Overdrive. Shouldn't we be buying these systems because we like the games on them?

2015 is going to be ridiculous for all platforms. Buying any of the major three consoles or building a PC would be a sound financial investment right now. Nobody is going to be hurting for games this year.

[gamerfan0909]

You don't have to make a article about anything, dude. Fact of the matter is I went with both systems last gen, although I bought my PS3 way later in the gen, and I was fully satisfied. I could never imagine going 8 years and not playing Gears of War, Crackdown, Mass Effect when it first came out, Bioshock when it first came out, Alan Wake, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and a million other 360 games that I played and the online community on xbox live that I still play with til this day and I now consider some of them personal friends and have met outside of gaming.

Although that experience was amazing on Xbox I would've never been able to play games like Journey,Yakuza, Uncharted, The Last of Us, ect that pushed the lengths of what video game art really is. If you like playing games then owning multiple systems is a no brainer.

[LordDhampire]

So I can play games while my Xbox one takes an hour to install

[Speak_da_Truth]

If you have trouble navigating the Ps4 UI then I don't know what to say to you because Sony literally just laid out everything in your face its as easy as a UI can get but whatever.

[towelie1288]

I have both consoles and i enjoy both but i prefer the xbox one
But cant miss out on uncharted thats for sure. Everything else is a bonus
But with xbox i get my halo and thats ends it right there

[Ikki_Phoenix]

all your console can do anw...halo milking and gears and forza for the last 3 gens

[towelie1288]

Very childish immature comment kid

Grow up a little it wont hurt

[q8kik]

It's always nice to be able to say "I like Gow for both systems" :)

[DougLord]

I have an Xone, and I will eventually buy a PS4. Waiting for reviews on The Order, Bloodborn and No Mans Sky. But even if all of those suck, I will buy for KUF2.

[asmith2306]

I have a beefy PC, but am holding out for a PS4 slim version. That's when I drop the cash.

[Jarhead1776]

iOS, hands down, has the best games around!

[Shuckylad]

Surely most hardcore gamers will own or plan to own all the new gen consoles?
I'm lucky enough to own all 3 and enjoy them all.

[RosweeSon]

I'm a hardcore gamer, not interested in xbox one currently (never say never) but coming off the back of 9 years with a 360 time for a change and they are not doing anything exceptionally different from their last console so I can wait.

[tgunzz]

There are things that I don't plan on experiencing (smoking/drinking/drugs) in my lifetime, but awesome gaming is something that I will continue to maximize... I go with all 3 consoles every gen, because simply put they all complete my arcade experience (along with my beloved neo-geo). Game on.

[RosweeSon]

Because it clearly wasn't enough for you.

[strangeaeon]

Despite? Is there something I am missing here? Honestly, the ONLY reason I don't have both is because I dont have the time. God I wish I were a kid again sometimes.

[Ikki_Phoenix]

because its the better console duh ???
seriously some stupid articles that can be out there sometimes

[chaosx]

I got both , played all exclusives on the PS4 and kept the xb1 as the primary console. Between the 2 the xb1 is the better all round console in my opinion.
