This is a weird conclusion to come to. It's the best console for 98% of games.

lol what? Xbox One doesn't even get 50% of games, not to mention the two dozen games with PS4 Pro patches but not Xbox One X patches, or the hundreds of games which aren't patched on either console so they generally run better on a vanilla PS4 than an Xbox One X.

i mean, yeah, xbox one is lacking in such high-quality titles as life of black tiger and dragooned (brought to you by former goon the d, famous for the smash hit known as the demon rush), so really, i don't even know why anyone would bother buying one at all at this point.

I really don't know why I bought a Bonx: Multiplats running a at slightly higher resolution is nice, but really not that much of a differentiating factor compared to my PS4 Pro. It's really lacking in the exclusives department, while PS4 is getting great titles left and right. I'm really not looking forward to Crackdown 2, Gears of War x or Forza Horizon 40.

i havent played god of war yet but the idea that theres more than 2 or maybe 3 actually legitimately unmissable and amazing sony exclusives is nuts to me

if we stop pretending that knack 2 is a must-have then it really comes down to feature set and controller preferences which is pretty much entirely subjective to you

Except PS4 does "core features set" much better as well: The Xbox menu is atrocious, with all the worst ideas (separate guide) brought forward from the 360. Creating screenshots, something I like to do, means pressing a button on PS4, going through the guide on Xbonx. Everything seems cumbersome and unintuitive. And the menu on this "true 4k" console is running at 1080p.

I can easily list more than three great PS4 exclusives just off the top of my head:

Infamous Second Son/First Light
The Last Guardian
Uncharted 4
Uncharted Lost Legacy
Horizon Zero Dawn
God of War

People are also raving about games like Bloodborne, Everybody's Golf, Shadow of the Colossus or Yakuza 6.

When are we Xboners getting some potent exclusives?

I’d say if you don’t feel that way about more than 3 not-on-Xbox titles you probably aren’t into this whole gaming thing (which is probably good). Yeah there’s some bad stuff in that pile for sure but the library is deep as hell, covering tons of genres (exclusively in some cases).

Yeah I guess if you just totally ignore exclusives, i.e. the entire point of buying one console over the other, then it's a wonder the XB1 isn't doing better.

For the record it would be great if the XB1 did have some desirable exclusives since competition is the only thing that keeps console manufacturers honest. Game Pass is a great idea and it only exists because MS is the underdog here.

The real test of the Game Pass strategy is when the new Forza Horizon, which represents the better half of their only functional franchise, comes to it in the fall. SoD is obviously a second tier series and even MS must have known what SoT was actually shaping up to be.

this is a possibility ive been considering lately because i used to own all systems to play all games but i recently sold my ps4 as part of a decluttering/downsizing thing after i gazed upon my ps4 collection and realized id only played bloodborne all the way through and really none of this matters

That used to be true until this generation. Even the Dreamcast and Wii U had more games that made those consoles worthy of a buy. The Xbox one just has the "big" 3 that haven't been that big in awhile.

Xbox you press two buttons to record or you can just say it out loud.

I guess your point of the menu being 1080p is true but I really don't care if my menu is in 4k.

And I'll lol in anyone's face if they think Sony's online and UI is better than Microsoft. The PS4 UI has you scrolling for days, is laggy, and is so spread out that its a huge pain in the rear end.

Yea I like the guide sidebar. Basically renders the home screen obsolete, though I wish they'd left the pins on its front instead of hiding them in a tab.

Not really. Much easier to get to where I want to go on the PS4. It's also not laggy in the least, but that may be due to the fact I have an SSD in mine.

Cortana/ Xbox works with a headset, and the buttons are Home then Y, I don't think that's super loving difficult or different than Sony's tiny little button nudged out next to DS4's gigantic trackpad.

Also I can see my captures on the app, and several 3rd party sites without having to dump it on youtube or facebook where it will look like garbage.

The problem is the fact it's so intrusive. With the PS4, I can just take a couple of screenshots without having to open any kind of menu. That's convenient.

Didn't know about the headset thing, but mine is connected to a PC with an optical in so I can use the same wireless one for my PS4 and Xbox.

I don't know if anyone reads this thread for recommendations on the online game store, but I got The Sims 4 and Darkest Dungeon on xbox one a few weeks ago and they are both super good. Sims 4 is the first mainline sims game that feels like an actual sequel to me. Darkest Dungeon is essentially an RNG simulator but it establishes and maintains a consistent emotional tone really well.
