That's such a massive difference, who is going to spring for the X? With regular PS4 to Pro it's a $100 difference, so people will say oh I might as well get the better version. But with Xbone it's like fuck, I might as well get a PC is I'm doing this.

It's $189

Def saw the 180 price tag at least one place, but most have it 189 for cyber monday. And the PS4 is the better console, unless you're getting X but it's not worth 500 unless your well off. If you live with any kind of budget, the PS4 is the best.

The Xbox one x is better than the majority of pcs people use

The majority of PC's people use aren't even capable of games so that's not really saying much. As far as average gaming PC it's for a GPU that's the equivalent of an upper low-mid range GPU and a CPU so weak you'd have to go back many generations to find one on par with it. It's really not all that powerful at all.

What makes the PS4 better? The only console exclusives I'm aware of is Street Fighter V, Uncharted, and Horizon.

X1 at least has Halo that I've been wanting to play (but then again, SFV may have more gameplay value).

Microsoft themselves have said they expect to sell more of the S then the X. The X is for the hardcore gamer with a 4k tv that wants the best resolution of 3rd party games. From what the Sony community have said the jump from PS4 to PS4 Pro is nothing like the jump from the OG X1 to the X1X.

Well, you're clearly not aware of much. PS4 has hundreds of console exclusive games. Xbone has Halo and Forza.

Because you're comparing a dedicated gaming platform to a platform that isn't inherently for gaming but has a gaming division and trying to use the non gaming parts to make the dedicated platform seems on par with the division of the other platform.

Not really this, you just can't make a PC that has the same parts the X has inside of it for $500. In 2 years you probably can but as of today the X is priced correctly for what it does.

If you can find cards not affected by mining and favor in the cost of even a few years of mining you could top it now pretty easily.

Nioh, Nier Automata, Bloodborne, The Last Guardian, Infamous Second Son, Gravity Rush 2, Until Dawn

Upcoming stuff like The Last of Us 2, Spider-Man, God of War

I was a 360 fan but its pretty clear at this point that Sony is much more interested in creating a diverse catalog of quality exclusives than Microsoft

Not really this, you just can't make a PC that has the same parts the X has inside of it for $500. In 2 years you probably can but as of today the X is priced correctly for what it does.

Because its not a 1 to 1 comparison. A PC does a hell of a lot more than a OneX. A PC doesnt just game. Youre right, you cant make a OneX-like PC for $500. But then again, absolutely no one would want a PC that limited. You can however buy an RX580 graphics card for $280 and put that inside your PC. That should probably be the realistic comparison. The RX580 GPU vs the OneX. Not an entire PC vs OneX. The entire PC costs more because it does a hell of a lot more.


Right which is why the X should be directly compared to the Pro for a valid comparison. It's too muddy when you try and compare a console to a PC because there are many factors like the X having a bluray drive.

They stopped making the original consoles a while ago, only way you'd get one is buying second hand so for the sake of argument there's the basic version and the 4K version of those consoles.
