What should I purchase this holiday season?
I have a xbox360, with a small collection of games with gold. Nothing I'm too terribly attached to.
Use Xbox live for netflix, hbogo, amazon, hulu, youtube. But I'm getting an Amazon TV to jailbreak and will prob stream movies on that thing bc it's supposed to have a higher speed.
Are there any 1 console games I should be aware of? What's the status on the pros and cons of each console at this point?
Thanks for the advice.
PS4 has double the users of Xbox so multiplayer is better.
Also, PS4 has more and better exclusives. Xbox doesnt have an exclusive that can really sway the tide. At this point Ps4 is like the warriors and xbox is like the Dallas mavericks of exclusives.
I suppose of you want a purely american experience, Xbox is your console since I would say xbox owners are about 95% Americans.
Up to you..Xbox seem to have a more "Patriotic"touch.
Power is virtually the same...
Tbh the only thing you should look at are the exclusive les. Do a quick search and see what interests you. But for discussion purposes, PS4 has quite a few more. Some of which are extremely popular, like the Naughty Dog games.
the XboX controllers are too big for my tiny girly hands
I think PS4 has much better exclusives: for instance, The Last of Us, God of War 3, the upcoming God of War, Bloodborne, the entire Uncharted series, and there are some amazing looking exclusives like Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nioh, Uncharted Lost Legacy, and The Last of Us Part 2 upcoming in the next couple of years. The only really good XBox One exclusives are the Forza series if like driving games, and Gears of War. XBox One does have backward compatibility for lots of XBox 360 games, which PS4 doesn't: PS4 has lots of remasters with better textures and better framerates, but for non-remastered games your only option is ty streaming over Playstation Now. At a hardware level even the regular PS4 is significantly stronger than the XBox One, which means it usually gets better framerates and renders at higher resolutions. Or if you buy the PS4 Pro lots of games render at 1800p or 1440p. The XBox One S has support for 4k Blu Ray while no PS4 does if you actually watch movies on disc anymore.
Another strike against XBox One is every XBox One exclusive now comes to Windows through the Windows Store, so if you have a good computer you can get Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, etc on your PC.
If you do buy one, get it Christmas Eve or earlier. PS4 Slim has a price cut to $250 until then (it goes back up to $300 on Christmas day), and comes with Uncharted 4. I have seen XBox One S for $250 with Battlefield 1 lately also. PS4 Pro isn't likely to go on sale, but is what I'd go with if you're running on a 4k TV.
If there is one thing I miss about Xbox, it's the controller. I've never liked the PlayStation controllers.
just get both imo
They have a deal at Costco right now for the PS4 with Uncharted and a second controlled included for $250...
Cheap as ...
That's awesome considering the game and controller are $60 each.
I don't know about XBone, but lots of great PS4 games are cheap as right now. Wal-Mart has Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection for $16, God of War III for $14, Bloodborne for $18, The Last of Us for $18, and GameStop has Ratchet & Clank for $10.
Damn GameStop has the Slim + Uncharted 4 + a $25 Visa gift card for $250.
Newegg has the PS4 Slim + Uncharted 4 + Rocket League for $250. Not too bad if you're a resident of any state other than California, Tennessee, or New Jersey, since then you wouldn't pay sales tax.

That's crazy consoles get such great deals for Christmas. PC hardware usually sees big price es the second November ends.
In full disclosure, always been an Xbox guy. Gave the PS4 a real go for about a year this year. Was nice but just didn't do anything for me to say wow, I need to switch consoles. Had great exclusives but I still prefer the Xbox. Ended up selling the PS4.
Just my two cents.
Why? What was the big selling point for XBox One over PS4? Especially when XB1 renders games at lower resolutions and lower framerates most of the time? I was on the XBox side last generation since PS3 was such a mess the first 3 years. I remember XBox 360 games usually ran better and looked better until the last half of the PS3's lifetime when it finally started catching up. Plus XBox 360 was around $400 when I got mine while Sony was still a few months from their $600 release. But this generation PS4 seems worlds better unless you're a huge fan of Forza, Gears of War, or Dead Rising. XBone would only make sense to me for either those exclusives, for the 4k Blu Ray drive in the XBox One S, or if it got a price cut to say $50 below PS4 Slim prices. Oh, and the backwards compatibility is nice on XBone too. , I forgot that.
PC Autist Race
The system costs twice as much but gets twice the performance. Nowadays a good CPU lasts 6+ years and a good GPU 3+ years for 1080p gaming. Not like the old days 15 years ago when your top of the line cpu was low end within a year and a half, and similar for the gpu. PC gaming can be a money pit if you're a moron who always needs the newest hardware and lots of pc gamers are like that, but most of that money spent is the difference between ultra and high settings which almost no one could tell apart anyways.
Newegg has the PS4 Pro for $400 with a free copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider. That's a great game if you're into 3rd person shooters (it's easily my favorite game of 2016) and graphically it's pretty amazing.

That's probably the best deal I have seen on a PS4 Pro since it released.
Just got my PS4 Slim, and holy that opening to The Last of Us.
nice, you're finally getting on it? can't ROTR came out awhile back, sucks they withheld it for so long on PS4, I had a blast playing that on xbox last year. surprised how solid the new TRs are
Yeah both ROTR and TR 2013 are amazing. Is gameplay kind of similar in the four Uncharted games?nice, you're finally getting on it? can't ROTR came out awhile back, sucks they withheld it for so long on PS4, I had a blast playing that on xbox last year. surprised how solid the new TRs are
