Playstation and it’s not even close. Better overall exclusives. Sales are still strong, although the switch is selling a ton right now.

Console sales

PC for performance, but out out the consoles it PS for the exclusives. If you want to play with friends it what they own.

Would guess it's the PS4. Simply basing this on the reason I feel others and myself bought a PS4 and then PS4 Pro. The PS having the best library and exclusives of all 3 consoles.

I think Switch has a lot of potential and some great games already, but PS4 is overall better at the moment.

PS4 easy. Not only did it get great exclusives, but it had great advertisement and took advantage like Xbox of Nintendo’s Wii U failure. I feel like I’m getting harassed by their commercials cause I see them on TV, YouTube....part of the reason I won’t touch a PS console to be honest just out of spite

I always felt Xbox was decent (in this generation) but like.....so generic. Nothing pulls me towards Xbox. The exclusives are okay but overall, I liked the 360 era a lot more.

The Switch is picking up a lot of steam lately. The core library is small, but just about every one of the games is a blockbuster title and highly enjoyable to just sit down and play. Since a lot of people didn’t play the Wii U, Nintendo made the decision to take a lot of ports from that era and start throwing them into the Switch’s library, which I don’t blame them. The Wii U had a GREAT first party library but everything else sucked donkey dick.

I personally think it would be unfair to put the Switch up against the Xbox since it has like 3 different types and has been out significantly longer.

Don’t get an Xbox. I casual game while my son plays a lot. He convinced me to sell the PS4 and get an Xbox one because that’s what all his friends have. I did thinking well it can’t be that much different. Wrong! This thing sucks arse and the controller is retarded. Well at least he’s happy though, and I’m getting a PC soon for my games.

Of the many criticisms applicable to the Xbone, this is not one of them.

I've kind of seen a lot of the people I know switch to pc and not touch console as much.

It's Playstation when it's a console though. I used to have all Xbox friends, not it seems PS4 is all they play.

All I see myself having in the future is a pc.

Completely depends on the games you want to play. 100%.

PC has basically everything. Soo yea, like master race and all that.

However the consoles do a lot and have a lot.

I have all three.

True, PS4 has some nice exclusives, but you have to be the type to like those single player games. If you do, get the PS4.

However for your mainstream multiplayer games, everyone I know and their Uncle is on Xbox and that is what we play. Plus I like Forza and that shits all over GT.

But I have PC/PS4/Xbox.

Strictly from sales PS4 is at about 73 million to Xbox's 36 million.

I play the most on PC but not by a lot, I still enjoy the great PS4 exclusives and the PS4 Pro offers a better 4K HDR experience for a lot of titles so I'll go that direction sometimes, just depends.

Depends on what your parameters are.

The biggest is mobile.

Naturally, the biggest video-game market right now is the mobile which accounts for 43%.


PC and the consoles combined are neck and neck.

As we can see, PC gaming accounts for 28% of the total game market in 2017, whereas consoles (this includes all consoles) accounts for 29%

Forza alone is why I sold my Playstation 4 for an XBox One S. I thought other features were easier to navigate on Playstation 4 though. Did you play Gran Turismo Sport?
