Well poo poo, PS4s are cheaper than I thought... Could now be the fourth gaming system I buy just for a MH title.

This was also my cousin's excuse for having an Xbone, because that's where all his friends were. And like, that's fair, but I can't think of a single Bone exclusive I give more than a wholly superficial poo poo about, plus the launch was a fiasco.

Anyway, I'm still praying for 11th-hour announcement of crossplay between PS4 and PC to hype the PC release, because I'm buying it day one on PS4, and I'm worried about a goon exodus to the PC version when it finally materializes. My PC can handle it, but I don't want to double-dip.

I'm fine with waiting for the PC version. I started playing through MH4u and I'm enjoying it a lot (I'd only played MHgen before, this is so much better). Soon I'll make it all the way to G-rank and get murdered.

I haven't had a console for 7 years. Did PlayStation really supplant Xbox as the console of choice or is this just because I'm in the MH thread?

The 360 was a right time/right place situation that landed them in the top spot. Microsoft came out with an idiotic stance at E3 2013 and, while they reversed everything they said, there was enough damage done that PS4 won. Sony has since made a lot of right moves in regards to exclusives that MS really doesn't know how to do.

It's both. PS4 has now sold just over twice the number of bones so it's a clear winner there, and there's also a number of PS4 console warriors here which is disproportionate even for that figure

If all your friends are on the bone then I guess that might be the right choice for you but in terms of the games you're getting access to, PS4 is the far better choice. And it you're buying for monster hunter specifically, capcom is already showing signs of playing favorites so you're almost certainly going to get the better experience on PS4. You can expect a much smaller public community and virtually nonexistent goon community on the bone for monster hunter as well, so the presence of your friends would need to make a pretty big difference for a bone to be a good idea at this point. I don't think there's any signs of it gaining any traction at this point. the PS4 has only continued to pull ahead this year.

I’m gunna go against the crowd and say if your friends are all playing on XBone, then get an XBone. Less goons to play with, but if you think your friends will be playing for a while anyways may as well go with that. There'll probably be a handful of xbone goons anyways.

I wonder if it'd be worth it to upgrade to a PS4 Pro if I can pretty easily sell my current PS4 to make back about half the cost.

I'd been considering upgrading my PC this year but honestly, with all the five-year-old parts I'd need to upgrade, that's basically just going to be a full rebuild and that's going to cost way more than just getting a PS4 Pro and buying more console versions instead of PC ports for a while.

If you get it on PS4 you can remote play it onto a vita and have the optimal MH experience of poo poo controls on a tiny screen.

My RL friends have short attention spans and rarely play the same game for more than a month, whereas there will be goons playing MHW till the release of MHW2 and beyond no doubt.

Sony demonstrates a lot more self-awareness than MS. They needed to especially after the infamous "Five-hundred ninety-nine U.S. dollars" bit from the PS3 launch.

In fact, I'd say a crippling lack of self-awareness is MS' downfall this generation. They assumed that they had everything in hand after dominating the previous generation that they could just do whatever they wanted (Kinect, inability to trade games, etc.) and everybody would happily accept it.

Not worth it imo, the framerate option doesn't hit 60 fps in fights consistently and the game already has framerate pacing issues anyway. The other two options are just more vegetation/sharper hills vs more resolution. Just save the money for your PC build.

People making GBS threads on the Bone, but the XboneX will probably be the best looking/running console version. ( I don't own and will not buy one though. ) If it was going to be a month or two later I would have bought it for PC, but just going to stick with the PS4.
