I have a PS4 Pro. Would it be worth getting an Xbox 1 X?

Are there enough exclusives? And are the graphics better?

Most Xbox games have PC ports. I've found the best setup is having the PS4 Pro with a gaming PC and a Switch. There are a handful of xbox exclusives but not nearly enough to justify owning both of the current gen consoles unless you just have the cash to burn.

It’s a graphically superior console, but I don’t think you absolutely have to have it. The pro does a decent job. I never felt the need to upgrade to a pro since I already have an X and MS is my preferred platform, and you seem to be my opposite so unless you’ve got money to burn I think you’re fine.

Could be worth it, unless you're on a tight budget, or you're playing on a 1080P display, and I'm guessing you're not.

If you're a sucker for old games like I am, you'll really appreciate the backwards compatibility. The games will perform much better on the X. Being able to play UHD Blu Rays is another thing I love about the console; I get annoyed by the compression from streaming services.

As far as graphics, sometimes it's a good deal better than the Pro, and sometimes it's not as much of a difference depending on the game. Look online for some comparisons of your favorite multiplatform games.

Not at all.

Unless you are just the world's craziest RDR2 fan.

We're also probably about a year and change away from PS5 and the next Xbox dropping, you may also want to factor that into your decision making.

Also keep in mind that you will likely be facing the same issue with the next generation as this one

Next xbox will likely be more powerful and offer better game services than playstation, Next Playstation will have the better exclusives and overall library (plus catch up with the backwards compatibility)

Bingo.

Got an X and yes 4K is pretty, but I would wait at this point.

Might get some good pricing around E3 though.

What a dumb image.

PC, PS and Wii/WiiU/Switch have been the trifecta for years.

LOL, sorry it triggered you. Thanks for the DV

It is for the xCloud initiative, which could be quite the game changer.

They have been working on the thing since xbox 360 days, so they need to release it or move on.

It is something Sony cannot compete with on scale, so we will see what the answer will be from them should Microsoft get off their asses and finish it.

Sony response will probably be, "We still support physical media"

This close to the next console generation? Why?

Not sure why you wouldn't just wait for the new consoles next year. No point in spending $400+ on a new console that'll be outdated in a single year. Especially when you have something that already runs things very well.

Even doubling so with confirmation that all of your PS4 games will work on PS5. Switching this late in the generation seems weird unless you really want to play Gears, Halo, Forza etc.

Its marketing from Microsoft making fun of Sony for refusing to let cross platform play happen. In this case they're specifically talking about Minecraft which Microsoft owns but sells on every platform, but Sony refuses to let Minecraft on PS4 have crossplay for some reason.

XBox's library is the bigger joke.

It didn't but it is just dumb.

Edt: I'm a PC guy. You consolers can fight over being 2nd class but Xboxers are the most laughable group.

They boost about the 1X but PlayStation has a damn strong library. The best games in the industry over the last 2yrs are the PS exclusives.

Just here for rational discussion but sometimes it is very hard.

You ppl are so weird.

I play on every platform. My issue is with the irrational things ppl say like Xbox has something to offer over any other platform ATM.

Meh. I've got a PS4, Xbox one and a gaming PC. I don't really care who has what.

Not allowing crossplay however is bad for everyone.
