If Someone Wanted To Buy A Console Now, What Would You Recommend And Why?

@foxhound_fox:

Yeah recommending a system with BC is what I was thinking too. If Nintendo would get thier shit together with the VC on Switch it could be a haven for classic games.

So...

• PS4 Pro
  • Pros
    • Largest library compared to its competitors (it has both western and eastern games).
    • Can play VR games.
  • Cons
    • Not future proof. Games will probably remastered than be playable on the next gen console.
• XBX
  • Pros
    • Some games bought for the console can be played both on PC and an Xbox.
    • Future proof games. Games bought now could be played on the next gen console.
    • Strongest current console.
    • Most stable online connectivity and probably is the best among the competitors.
  • Cons
    • Lacks eastern games support
    • Can be found redundant by gamers because of its no games exclusivity.
• Switch
  • Pros
    • Hybrid. Can be possibly played anywhere because it can be played as mobile.
    • First party games are usually great compared to its competitor.
    • Greatly attracts 3rd party indie developers compared to its competitors.
  • Cons
    • Currently has the fewest library.
    • Online sucks and you have to pay for it,
    • Lacks 3rd party AAA support.
    • Joycon sucks. You have to buy the PRO controller to fully enjoy the NS.

same answer I always give, get what your friends are playing on

As a person that recently built a PC that is just slightly bigger than, but 100x more powerful than an Xbox One, I would suggest doing that.

Save your pennies. It’s worth it. Or just buy a Switch.

PS4 Pro, not even close. Great balance in tech, online, multiplats and exclusives.

Close second PS4 Slim, tech isn't bad and it has the rest of the benefits.

For me the Switch is next, for the unique gaming.

Xbox is last. No exclusives mean I have choices to do without and I won't miss out on anything.

SNES or PS2
