PS4 or Xbox One?

I have been debating on getting another game console to help occupy my mind on things other than the internet like facebook & youtube.
I use to own a xbox360 & would play warfare games, almost got ptsd from the aftermath of those lol, they left a lasting impression on me I did not like. However this time around I’m thinking of staying away from those ‘war’ & ‘combat’ type games & stick with car racing games I love racing games.

Was also thinking maybe hold off a little longer & see if a new generation console might be coming out soon… Do you think there could be a new gen. console in the near future?

I’m not sure when new consoles are coming out, but I have an Xbox 1. I just don’t know what game to get next. I used to play Destiny and Destiny 2. The first one was better, but no one plays it anymore.

It seems ps4 has a couple or 3 pretty good exclusives, but Xbox one X is more powerfull (also more expensive) and can reach 4k on most games, xbox also has game pass to play games cheaply. both are very similar. For racing you have Forza horizon 3 and 4 that’s coming soon. Or you can also try the Nintendo Switch that has more ‘nice’ games.

Ive had a PS3, I used to play it for hours, I wasted my time with it because the only thing I won with that was a little entertainment, but after 15 minutes of playing it I got bored again, I think is better to get fun in real life.

Playstation has more games. More games are exclusive to PS. Xbox has a few exclusives as well but there are far fewer games available to only Xbox.

For me it builds down to, do you like Halo? I do, therefore I have an xbox 1.

i might be wrong but the consoles might be getting phased out for streaming services online

Doubtfully. Most computers dont have the hardware to do gaming. Those who do, are very expencive, and they get better all the time, and you need better and better equipment to play the increasingly high tech games. A console is way cheaper than a gaming computer.

If you like racing games the best get an xbox one. Forza Horizon 4 is coming out tomorrow and it looks fantastic.

I have both ps4 and xbox one, and if you like racing games, xbox one is the way to go. PS4 has some great exclusives like god of war and spider-man, but for racing, xbox is king.

Nothing wrong with video games. It’s a hobby just like anything else, and of coures you should play in moderation. With that out of the way, both consoles are great. Unless there is an exclusive game (pretty rare,) that is must have for you, it really doesn’t matter.
They both have the “suped-up” version (Xbox One X, PS4 Pro,) which is completely uncessary unless you have a 4k monitor/TV and want to game and/or watch Netflix in 4K. Otherwise you can find a Xbox One or PS4 on craigslist or used at gamestop for like $200-300. Have fun!

We have an Xbox 1 but may get a PS4 just to have a bit more variety. I don’t play console games but my by does. He’s always liked Xbox better.

I would choose the PS4. I prefer the PS4 exclusives. To me the power of the console doesn’t mean anything of there aren’t great games to be played on it.

I’ve always considered consoles to be a more casual and simple way of gaming. It’s nice when you just want to relax and waste time. But if you’re really involved in your game, a computer will run it better and allow you to play it better.

I have a PS4 and a Wii-U but don’t really use them much. Sometimes I will buy a game and play it for a short time until I get bored.

I unwisely bought a Nintendo Switch and a few games, as a 35 year old man. I guiltily finished Super Mario Odyssey on it, but I can’t bare to spend time on Skyrim or Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I feel like I’m not being productive. My peers have teenagers in the house and I am sitting here wifeless and childless, and incomeless. It doesn’t make much logical sense to be frittering away my middle age like this.
