At least choose between the enhanced versions.

My gut feeling says buy the PS4 in local GameStop stores near you.

Maybe buy the one that has the most games you like. No one knows your tastes better than you do.

PS4 has the best exclusives and a lot of them. You can't really go wrong there.
However gamepass for Xbox (or xbox and PC) is legitimately one of the best deals in gaming right now and it will tide you over until the new consoles launch next year.

Xbox 1 X currently the best console ever created that’s until the PS5 and Scarlett comes out next year

PS4 Slim if you like Sony exclusives.
Pro not worth it when PS5 releasing next year.
If you interested in Xbox I would suggest getting Xbox one X as it's much better and improved system over base Xbox one and S. It improves graphics significantly compared to base Xbox one and even Pro in some games plus Game pass offers 200+ games and all Xbox console exclusives at very cheap price.

I agree except for why buy a GC when the PS2 has an infinitely better and more varied library?

Ask me about my Stream Deck
If you decide on the PS4, just know they get really loud when the fan kicks up. If noise is a concern, make sure to consider that.

It's a simple choice of actual system at the moment.... If you want to say why I should really get the 1 X or PS4 pro, feel free to do so as wellAt least choose between the enhanced versions.
But almost all the PS4 exclusives seem to come to XB1 after awhile, anyway....
I'm sure there'd be plenty of games available for it to keep me goingby now

Sony PS4 Pro will give you a better first party exclusives. Xbox One X is the best console to play 3rd party games on.
I'd say going with a Pro, it has better exclusives and although 3rd party games won't look quite as good as the X versions, they will still look great.

All the exclusives are timed? When are all those PS games coming to Xbox again?

PS4 is the better machine, with better exclusives and has VR if you want to dabble.
But...
Xbox one x has an elite pad and gamepass.
IMO buy an xbox one X now and a PS5 at launch. Best of both worlds.

OK, you tell me which ones haven't & won't...? Games I'm interested in are all on both, as far as I know

Xbox One X is my current fave (I have all the consoles). It’s the most powerful and has backward compatibility.
If you have to choose between an original PS4 and original Xbox one then the PS4 was better in my experience.
PS4 has VR, Xbox has gamepass. PS4 has remote play on vita, Xbox has xcloud on mobile devices starting November.
I’d say look up the exclusives list to be sure. The PS4 controller feels better but the Xbox controller has replaceable batteries and is very responsive.

Microsofts first party output has been very weak this gen. One gears, one halo, sunset wasn't great, crackdown was a complete wet fart. Forza is the only mainstay exclusive franchise that keeps knocking it out of the park.
Meanwhile, Sony had Uncharted 4, HZD, God of War, Spiderman, Bloodborne, The order 1886, Infamous, i'm probably missing a few.
Yeah, you could argue subjectivity and all that jazz but it's pretty hard to argue that Microsoft have been weak this gen, even comparing Microsoft to Microsoft and taking Sony out of it, they've done a piss poor job on exclusives.

I am conflicted as I would suggest Xbox with backwards compatibility is brilliant but... Bloodborne is amazeballs.

I'd probably be thinking of a 1 S or PS4 slim, actually.... Sony has literally a couple of actual exclusives I'd like
While there's 2 or 3 on XB1 I'm interested in Games I'm most concerned about are on both, as I've said

I'm not just a fan of jrpgs, though... Almost all of those have come to Switch, too
Which are you talking about that are still staying exclusively on PS4 forever? 
BruceCM

Well, it'd probably be next year, in sales, when I can get either for £150-200
Then, I can wait until the PS5 & Scarlet are down to reasonable prices, rather than buying either at launch

Well if you are not fan of JRPG like Persona 5 then choose base on which system has western game exclusives you might enjoy.I'm not just a fan of jrpgs, though... Almost all of those have come to Switch, too

Name the last five games you played that you loved. It will help with the decision.

If you have no other factor, get a PS4, it has many notable exclusives, "real" exclusives mind you.
Especially if you plan on going to a base console, the XbOne makes no sense at the moment as it seems a good number of devs pretty much ignore it and release games that barely work on it (along the lower visual fidelity).
If you are looking for a "Pro" or "X" console - well the X is slightly better, especially if you have a 4K TV - however, it won't get you far if you intend on playing any of Sony's top tier exclusives, and if you game on a 1080p TV you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference (even on a 4K TV it's hard to tell at normal playing distance add to this that not all games run more smoothly on the xbox one X - even as a PlayStation player I can see that it can be a conundrum for some people. Personally I'm glad I have the PS4 Pro because Sony's games are pretty much it in therms of gaming for me.
If you look at the used market you'll see that the xbox consoles are going at much lower prices than their PlayStation counterparts - locally there is about a 75$ difference - I'm pretty sure you can deduct the general satisfaction of owners of consoles on both sites (there are less people selling their used PS4 than there are people looking for them, keeping the price relatively high - the opposite is true for the xbox one).

What? Not really.
There have been some third party games like Nier Automata which also launched on PC and eventually got to Xbox.
But for the most part most high profile Ps4 exclusives have remained exclusive with no signs of that changing:
Bloodborne ,God of War ,Spiderman ,Horizon ,Days Gone ,Uncharted 4, and the Lost Legacy , Gravity Rush 1 and 2 ,The last Guardian ,SotC remake , Until Dawn, TloU and Uncharted remaster (I guess they are more relevant if you didn't own a Ps3), etc
And there's still a bunch of third party japanese games, some of which are slowly coming to PC, which as of yet have no indication of an Xbox release:
Yakuza Wikami 1 and 2 , Yakuza 0 and 6 (and remastered 3,4 and 5 though so far only in Japan), Judgement ,Fist of The North Star; Lost paradise ,Nioh ,Persona 5 , Dragon Quest XI (soon on Switch too)

I am a fan of jrpgs, generally but not Persona, after trying several on Vita....
All of them I'd want are on XB1 as well by now, I knowHaving played Baldur's Gate, etc, on my phone, I won't get those at launch on console but they'd be on all for sales
Lols, it's the definitive edition for Switch & that's where I'll get that....
