I can't wait tbh fed up of the stupid PlayStation controller and since giving my One to the kids I miss it....
So far I've only tried the 360 controller, and apart from the d-pad it's perfect. To the point where I even play PC shooters using it. Just sooo comfortable.
However I'm leaning back towards a PS4Pro this Black Friday, having looked at the upcoming titles for both. The trouble I have making this choice is...
* The XBox is clearly and undisputed the better console, in terms of hardware, and more modern.
* I've used a PS2/PS3 controller enough to know I don't mind them, even if I don't prefer them. Never tried the PS4 contoller tho, so it's a complete unknown.
* XBox gamers seem to be FPS focused. The console itself is routinely referred to as "Shooterbox". In the main (exceptions exist), non-shooters tend to sell very poorly on XBox, which further skews 1st/3rd party devs to make more shooters for it.
* XBox "exclusives" are 99% also available on PC, unlike PS4 "exclusives".
* PS4 exclusives are more varied in nature. Sure, some FPS, but also RPG, adventure, and experimental genre games. Probably as a result of being a Jap console vs a very western-centric console.
* PS4 Pro costs slightly less (see 1 tho).
* Will not be using a 4K screen, so console only needs to be powerful enough for 1080p/60FPS. Feel confident the PS4 Pro can deliver that, at least.
So barring a convincing argument against the above, I'll be buying a PS4 Pro and a snazzy X1 controller for the PC.
Then waiting until 2020 for PC hardware to become affordable (hoping against hope), allowing me to play the XBox "exclusives" on PC at that time.
