Stux posted:agreed the poor should just not have entertainment. Who said that? Why are you putting words in my mouth because I have both a PS4 and Xbone? I think you're clueless. I said both consoles now around about $600 total (Xbone + PS4) and estimate that new consoles are probably about 5-600. I don't think you capable of having an actual discussion about this, so I guess go enjoy your one system?

Super No Vacancy posted:what do you hope to gain from this conversation I don't know. It just seems weird that people are still arguing about getting a PS over Xbone or whatever. I mean, teens or kids I can understand, but really adults, don't you just grab both? I mean, why tear down one because you have the other? No sure I guess! I have the Bone and I like it a lot, including Gamepass. I bought it after my PS4 due to exclusives, but if I didn't own both and won the lottery one day, I would buy both. Wouldn't anyone? I mean, why limit yourself to one system AND then complain about the other systems?

its not even hurting for rent, you can be making rent fine and be able to afford a console purchase but have a second one be a waste of money, this isnt a complicated concept

Any one system has more games than you'd ever play. Having multiple systems is a fairly extravagant luxary. Instead of spending $300 plus whatever on a second system and games, you could spend that money on buying games for your primary system. I buy everything because I'm an idiot, but you shouldn't look down on people who only are interested in one system. People can act like jerks over it, this is true. But just ignore it.

With GP, I barely get to try out games before they are removed due to license or whatever (and my limited time). But I like exclusives on both systems and as such I have both. I like Nintendo too, but don't have time to work in a third system right now, but will when the time is right. Zerot posted:I buy everything because I'm an idiot, but you shouldn't look down on people who only are interested in one system. People can act like jerks over it, this is true. But just ignore it. I'm an idiot too buddy. As for looking down on people, no way, that's not my point, sorry if it came off that way. I guess I just don't get why adults be like that. I mean, when I was 12 I acted like Stux here, but I've grown way out of that. It's crazy that grown men (and women? people?) still fight over which system is best. My point was, if you wanted two systems, just get two systems. Even Stux here claims he has a Nintendo, PC, AND PS4! That's 3 freaking systems! Look at Donald J. Trump on SA!

Imagine having a PS4 and end of generation buying an Xbox One knowing it has no games. Or imagine being an "enthusiast" and buying an Xbox SEX at launch when you should know better.

Even most people who buy both don't get both at launch. Sometimes you want to get one now and wait for the other to be on sale. This is a smart move when at this point Playstation and Xbox have over 80% the same library. There are many reasons why not to buy both immediately, including incurring a $1200+ expense in one month. Or you just don't have enough time to play both in the same time period, so why not wait for the other console and it's games to be cheaper? If you waited until two years in you probably pay $500 for a $600 console and what was originally $600 worth of games. Plus you play your console you chose until then.

XtraSmiley posted:It's so interesting to me the Xbone and PS threads where people debate and discuss which console to buy. And no, most people don't buy both consoles. I got a PS4 for Christmas and played it for a few years, and then I traded it in to Gamestop during a promotion and got an Xbox One X, which I've enjoyed playing. People are discussing the upcoming console launches because it's an interesting topic to talk about.

You have so little imagination you can't even extrapolate between your position, and not being able to make rent. You keep saying "adults" like adults can't be in precarious financial situations, or think spending $300 on a second console is unnecessary. Grow up, look around you at other people. What a dick.

Especially like someone said, were still in the pandemic and stuff like buying brand new consoles are looking iffy at best when real life is so unstable. We all know launches are usually light and it takes awhile before things settle in. Us talking about this is only right.

I feel it too sometimes. The answer to this isn't "just get two systems." The real answer is that people should just kinda chill out and enjoy our shared fun hobby. The good thing about that is you can make it better by trying to be thoughtful and considerate and try to assume that people are decent until evidenced otherwise. I realize that is corny and I don't mean this to be part of a pile-on.

You're right, I'm going to chill and enjoy my piles of game consoles (PS4 and Xbone). I'll double down on, if you're a person who is having a tough time making rent, you shouldn't buy either of the new systems! Sorry if that sounds elitist to you (not sorry). This was more a comment on why people seem to have a hard time picking between the two and not just getting both. After all, it seems most people do get a Nintendo and Xbone/PS4, but maybe b/c they are so different. But that doesn't explain getting a PC and Xbone/PS4, they are very similar after all. And sorry, I hadn't read the recent pages of posts here, but before it was a lot of Xbone hate from.. PS4 owners? I guess? I'm glad now it's just comments on "which one should I get". It just seems weird, enjoy what you have and grab both (if you can). Not a big deal.

I never said anyone was "bad with money", you can't make points without name calling so now you have to put words in my mouth. Speaking of self-awareness, that seems rather ironic!

I've never checked it out, but I have GP and I believe (not 100% sure) that MS puts their in house studio new games on there day 1. I'm not sure Sony does that, but even if they did, a lot of the games I like on PS are not Sony IPs, (although they might be 2nd party). Also, much like video streaming, it's getting to the point where there is a lot of different ones, I'd like everything to be available in one spot! Also, I thought PS Now was streaming only, I didn't realize until I just looked at it they did downloads too. I may have to investigate it more now. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Since you asked, PS Now lets you download its PS2 and PS4 games to a PS4. You can also stream them. Its PS3 games are streaming-only. Between all platforms there's something like 800-1000 titles on the service, not sure how much regional variance there is. You are correct that no games go on PS Now "day one", mostly because the games Sony first parties put out typically don't fit into that economic model (they are largely single player affairs, don't do microtransactions etc.).
