Some of us have been through all post atari console gens and at everyone there was an improvement in graphics the size of and sophistication of games...better controls,there was a variety of games unique to the current available consoles.
indeed selecting a console was difficult if you could only have one,do i stay loyal?do i try the ps with it's less comfortable(or seemingly so) pad design,will i miss mario zelda etc,regardless of choice you were guaranteed a unique experience on any system with games that made you want to buy one of them.
This is not the case this gen, it's 2016...er for now at least,and yet i have yet to get a next gen console,I had been waiting for the s model of either of the big 2...yes yes nintendo is also there but they are not really are an option are they?or maybe they are but more on that later.
So now the s models are out and i'd been looking into which to get and so i'd look at price,bundles,pad designs,specs and people opinions as well any faults with the 2 devices
what i found was that they both have been out what?four years and the library of games is...rather sparse,there are like a handfull maybe less games on either side that i would like to play unique to each system and some of them are rerelease/remasters
I thought ah screw it what the worst than can happen i use the purchased console alternatively as a blue ray player?but then i start reading the xb1s has trouble with that hdm/r whatever it's called on paramount and universal disks...heck even normal bluerays,then the ps4s might have those issues as well and bad battery life in the pad with an on pad light you can't turn off
there is WiiU which finally starts to look better with the other 2 having way too many shooters but it has crap 3rd party support and tendency to reuse certain chars way too much
also that fact that half the price of the WiiU is that awful gimmick controller...that's what i read,if they would just dump it like ms did the connect,a 150-200 wii might be an ok system to get...especially since nintendo still seems to value local MP(Split screen)
finally do i even need a new console? my new rig which i finally got a while back has an I5 3.5ghts quad core the best of it's gen and a gtx970 running on a ss drive(man it's worth it with those boot up times) , I'm thinking maybe i'll just get a steam account and game on my much more powerful pc after all i never thought steam was a bad idea as a digital platform just bs that retail copies had to be activated....
