Caporegime
I love the consoles' ability to download stuff in low power mode. You can just queue up several games, put it to sleep and it will continue downloading overnight or whenever.
There was always going to be a tipping point and we have pretty much reached it. I have a 980GTX in my PC and it plays everything I want to play on my 27" Dell at Ultra 1440 resolution. I need no more and sure 60 frames would be nice but as I have not had it or used it, I am not someone who plays in anyway with skill and who is therefore easily pleased I see no point spending 1K on a GPU even though for me it's easier than most to splurge 1K on a toy, I don't feel the need.
Fancied a change.@Housey I saw you bought a new GPU and 144hz Gsync monitor recently. What made you change your mind from your post here?
Surely it all depends on what your friends have? Playing with friends will vastly outweigh any exclusive. I've got both, while I'd like to play many Ps4 exclusives, I just haven't gotten round to playing any. I managed to get the pro on release day and I've put in around 10 hours into it, ultimate dust collector. Rest of the time I'm on the xbox with friends.
That being said, if all your friends play on the PC, then get a ps4. Great single player games.
PS4 exclusives wipe the floor with the XB1 ones, but the elite controller means that I get all multi platform games on the Xbox.
I have every console for the ps1 era up and am a massive Xbox fan boy but the ps4 exclusives do wipe the floor with Xbox this one I whole heartedly agree with. If I had to advise someone to get a console it would be a ps4 for this gen and the games but if you want backwards compatibility better looking games and want that extra power an Xbox one x is the way forward. And I have a switch too and it’s not powerful enough to replace either but it’s first party games are very well made
Hey,
Due to the increasing cost of GPUs (£1200 for a 2800Ti? LOL no thanks) I've decided to make the jump to console gaming. But the last console I bought was a PS1 (really) so I have no idea about what to get and to be honest really anything about modern consoles.
My understanding is that it's between a PS4 and a XBox One (which are the same price) and then there's the PS4 Pro and the XBox One X (which still run the same games????).
Budget isn't really an issue, my TV is not 4K and I've not intention of getting a new one. I like sports sims (Golf / Ice Hockey / Football) and the usual action AAA's (COD lol).... what's my best option?
I'm in two minds on getting rid of my gaming pc, had one since early 00's. Moving house later this year been promised a 65" 4k TV to go with my PS4 pro.
Only games I would miss is total war series.
Anyone gone from a PC gamer to a console gamer and not regretted it. Quite like my graphics but surely a nice 65" 4k TV would still make games look pretty good.
a nice 65" 4k TV costs bare minimum £1500 and that is 6-9 months after launch. at launch bare minimum is around £2K.
i use both. if you are playing anything competitive it has to be on pc. for single player games then it has to be xbox one x for 4k. ps4 pro is a middle ground but it does better due to better exclusives and the fact it's a better seller. more people buy sony consoles.
i would never get rid of my gaming pc. pc games are still cheaper and better in every regard. plus you can go up to 240 hz now on pc monitors. nvidia offering freesync support.

My Xbox One has harldy been touched, i could get away with selling it as new if played it that little, Sony killed microsoft in this generation so PS4 all the way... but as rightly said abover the Switch is the one must own!
Looking at the Sony xf90 65" looks nice. Not a competitive player never entered any competitions.
I enjoy games that are fun and am currently being absorbed in good games sat on the sofa.
Will miss pc gaming with total war but that's it really, shame thought I'd never say that about being part of the master race. Could still come back to it in a few years once pricing and innovation get better.
i have the XF90 best gaming tv there is IMO
Good to know which one have you got?
I'll be going from a cheap 40" hd TV to a 65" so I hope I'll notice the difference.
