It's getting Ni No Kuni Remastered, isn't it? So, it'll be bound to get the sequel at some point
DQXI I've already said I'll get on Switch, so that's not going to help....

I’d really love to see the contracts that are squeezing Square.It's getting Ni No Kuni Remastered, isn't it? So, it'll be bound to get the sequel at some point
There is no way Square doesn’t see the money they are losing, but something written back then, holds them hard.

Is it? Some say it isn’t and some say it is so I’m not sure anymore. But my point is thinking about the future, when game like Grandblue Fantasy Rlink comes out....It's getting Ni No Kuni Remastered, isn't it? So, it'll be bound to get the sequel at some point
What are chances Xbox is going get this game. As far as I can tell Grandblue Fantasy Versus is not coming on Xbox.
I don’t think there is a “contract” same with Persona 5. I’m guessing both Atlus and Square figured there is just no audience for Persona and Dragon Quest on Xbox.

Not quite, if I hear about enough PS4 exclusives I'm actually interested in playing....
As for cost of console, pre-owned PS4 pros are a bit more than xbox one S but then they have the days of play sales, so about the same

Well you do you.Not quite, if I hear about enough PS4 exclusives I'm actually interested in playing....
There are more games on both systems then you could play before you die.
At some point it literally just becomes about preference. You can’t go wrong with either, but some will make you always feel like you chose wrong.

Why?
I’m always. Big fan of these suggestions. What is he going to play after hour 50?

Forza Horizon 4 offers more gameplay then all you said above.
You “beat” all those games and I’m still playing Horizon. What makes you come back to them?

Xbox technically has more niche exclusives now, just not “current gen” if that matters.

I am pretty sure it matters, and I was talking specifically about the anime niche.
With the better controller, more interesting exclusives to you and lower price, how does this thread even exist then?There seems to be more XB1 exclusives I'm actually interested in playing, though....

Everyone's been duped.
100 million consoles sold and there's only 50 hours worth of games to be had.
This is the biggest scandal since Elizabeth Holmes' Theranos.

So was I? Xbox got a bunch of anime default games because PS decided not to compete.
Are you plating Azuras Wrath on your PS4?
Yoshi
Headmaster of Console Warrior Jugendstrafanstalt
I am not playing Azura's Wrath at all. And I do not have a PS4 (do have an Xbox One though). I could play Azura's Wrath either way though, even without an Xbox One, because it is a last gen game and I do happen to have an Xbox 360 (the product that was advertised specifically for me in 2013, because I use my consoles offline).

But you aren’t playing it on your PS4?
I mean look at everyone’s exclusive list of games I must buy for my PS4? They are mostly PS3 remakes.
Unless there is somehow a difference I’m not seeing here.

Sounds like the type of game you "beat" and don't go back to. What do you do after hour 10?!
Yoshi
Headmaster of Console Warrior Jugendstrafanstalt
Since I do not have a PS4, this would be impossible for me, even if PS4 was bc. And I would not be interested to anyway.
Is that so? I usually hear about God of War, Uncharted 4, Gran Turismo Sport, Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, Driveclub, Spider Man, Astro Bot (though, granted, I only hear about this all the time, because everyone who knows me knows I would love it). I am not personally interested in any of these outside of GoW and Astro Bot, but there are plenty well regarded PS4 exclusives in many different genres.

This is my favourite argument right here,
It sold almost 100 million, so it will continue to sell that and blaaahhhhhh
They've only sold so many consoles because people keep replacing them due to how noisy they are.
You get to 50 hours, the console gets noisy, you need to replace it. Rinse, repeat.

Buy the PS4. It cheaper and has a bunch of good exclusives. I would also say the main thing you wanna know is whether you like single player exclusives or multiplayer. Single player, go PS4, multiplayer go Xbox.
That being said, gamepass is probably the best bang for your buck this year in terms of sheer quantity of first party exclusives. Plus you'll get the new exclusives on day 1 for "free" given that you're subscribed at the time.
I don't know as much about PSNow because I'm not subscribed, I usually just buy Sony's exclusives. If they are single player, I buy when they go on discount. I imagine they have a larger selection of games, though the exclusives probably aren't as....new?
Both systems are great in their own right. If price is a factor, more so than performance, go with the base models. If you're going base model though, that would veer me more towards the PS4. If you gonna cash to burn, go buy the X, it's amazing and will continue to be supported early into next gen i assume.

Maaaaan you just reminded me, I got Lost Odyssey downloaded on my Xbox and I haven't even opened it up. I kinda wanna get FFXII though.

It’s very final fantasy. You should fire it up, but only when you have the time for it.
Not sure there is a PS4 equivalent to it. Maybe somebody would like to enlighten me.

I did play it on the 360. I can't remember why I never finished it. I liked what I played though. Reminded me of FFVIII

This is why crossplay is becoming more and more interesting. You can like the games you like without having to follow them into the same ecosystem, with boring games you don’t like.

You definetly should, both Lost Odyssesy and Tales of Vasperia were best JRPG on 360.

Right. Is there are more games that you can play on your XB1 then your PS4
That is a fact. You can spin it however you like.
If a console is about the games, then let games be the fact.
In sheer numbers it’s not close.
And with Gamepass that number seems to get bigger. Not smaller.

I hate to be 'that' guy... But you are pushing him towards the Xbox awfully strongly?

The Right answer is, none of the above, spend the money (add a little more if you have to ) on a tent and camping equipment, take up a new hobby this summer, camping, if you have a gf, or a close friend, go camping with them at least ten times this summer... If you ever get the urge to play video games, do not worry you have tons of games for the PS3 or/and the 360 that are backlogged, take care of those, play those games, then go camping on weekends to the coolest campgrounds within 200-300 miles radius from your place. come back here and thank my later on in Autumn/Winter.

there is nothing wrong with video games, per se... but there are quite few reasons I don't think the OP needs to bother with a "next/current" gen console, one reason being, the next gen is around the corner, he might as well skip it, there's no shame, he wont be missing much, two: there is just too many games out there to play, my guess would be he has a at least half a years worth of backlog form whatever console he owns now, he may argue he wants "next gen" looking and felling games, sad thing is, within a year, he will still feel behind the curve even with an xbox one x etc.
If he really wants to play games like RDR2 etc. Again, he's already too late, might as well wait until next gen to come out, and buy a XBOX or a PS4 dirt cheap then. etc.

Jokes aside I completely agree with you. One console can provide a lifetimes worth of games. Marketing departments attempt to tell us otherwise. Even though I actually AM a gamespass subscriber, I'm almost against it as it creates an aura of 'fear of missing out' if you don't manage to play a game before it leaves the service. I'd much rather buy a game and take my time over the course of X months to finish it.

BC is a nice feature, but it is ill-guided to compare contemporary systems based on game counts using last gen and pre-last gen games. Xbox One is a great console, well worth owning, and there certainly are a ton of great games in bc, but chances are people looking for a new console to buy now will not do that primarily to buy games from the 2005-2012 years. Mega Drive was not a better choice than SNES just for the fact that you could buy an accessory to play all Master System games on it (and SNES did not suddenly come out as the better choice just because the Super Game Boy came out - even though that was actually a contemporary system).

Depends on your preferences and if you play online what your friends have.
Both are good in their own way.
Early PS4 were more powerful than early Xbox1. Late Xbox1 are more powerful than late PS4.
You pick.
I pick PS4 since I personally like their exclusives. You pick what makes sense to you, and we are all gamers after all.

if looking at base models then get PS4
if looking at all models then get the Xbox 1X
or if you simply dont care about Sony cinematic exclusives then go for the xbox and get gamepass
