They haven't clarified if it would be all PlayStation 4 games yet either, according to Wikipedia.Yeah, they only thing confirmed is BC with PS4 games. Your PS4 library is safe, but don't throw away your PS3, PS2 or PS1 just yet.

This is pretty interesting to me because I'm kinda the same as you, yet opposite; I have a PC and PS4 because I saw no reason to own an Xbox when I have access to XBL games through Windows. So I have a PS4 for exclusives and some fighters.For me, the PC is my primary platform, and I recently picked up an Xbox One X last fall to be a companion platform for it, since an Xbox One naturally has more integration with a PC than a PlayStation 4. I'm loving it, and I feel Microsoft has really turned the console around.
Very cool. Again, it's all personal preference. For me, while there are some Sony exclusives that I'd be interested in, it's more of a casual interest and not something I feel the need to drop hundreds of dollars on to see if I'd like them. Here's a list of the franchises I'm currently playing, in no particular order:This is pretty interesting to me because I'm kinda the same as you, yet opposite; I have a PC and PS4 because I saw no reason to own an Xbox when I have access to XBL games through Windows.

No, as it hasn't been announced yet. My expectation will be around the cost of an Xbox One X, perhaps a little more.Anyone know how much the series x will be?
Hmm I see. I'm sure we'll get a price soon. Hopefully at E3.No, as it hasn't been announced yet. My expectation will be around the cost of an Xbox One X, perhaps a little more.
Yeah. I'm expecting late Spring to early Summer, we'll get a host of details on both next generation consoles.Hmm I see. I'm sure we'll get a price soon. Hopefully at E3.
That's pretty awesome, but I definitely don't have that kind of disposable income. One system upgrade would be the max for me.I have all of them. I have multiple Xbox One's and PS4's (one for every room in the house). I have a spider man PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X in the living room. The multiple systems ensue that guests are properly equipped with entertainment when they visit. I also take advantage of them while playing consoles in my room.
I'm a bit glutinous (75 inch tv in living room, 70 inch in bedroom, 50 inch for all other rooms, dual consoles on all tv's).
I say if you can get them all, do so. I'm not one to be without. And this is the reason why I'm not a console fan, I'm a fan good games no matter where they are from.
I'm aware. At the moment, I'm actually leaning toward not upgrading at all outside of a possible SSD for my PS4 just to speed it up.there is no reason to buy xox u can uograde in 7 months to x1sx and its fully backward compatible with xox.
If you intend to purchase an Xbox Series X at launch, then no, I'd say it's not worth it to get an Xbox One X. If you are not going to get next-gen at launch, then it may indeed be worth it.The question is, however, is it work upgrading the system when, less than 9 months from now, the XB Series X will release, essentially replacing the 1X. Is it worth $300 for 9 months?
Yeah, I mean I keep going back and forth. The truth is, I'm not going to trade my old XB1 in for a measly $75. A good blu-ray player costs $50-100, and an Amazon Fire Stick is $40, so I can keep my original XB1 as a media center and even let my kids use it.

For now, if you're undecided and keep going back and forth, the answer is not to buy anything and save your money until you are sure.

The thing is, as was the purpose of this thread, is that the PS4 Pro is the more prudent decision because, currently, the PS5 hasn't confirmed full backward compatibility to PS4, let alone PS1/2/3. That, combined with Sony's own admission that the first generation of PS5 games will likely have PS4 releases, means if I upgrade to a PS4 Pro, then I would basically use $400 to milk an additional year or so out of my PS4. It's still really only a very incremental upgrade though. Speed and power, but that's about the end of it. I actually wonder if just changing my current HDD to a SSD would help maintain the speed at a fraction of the cost.
The XB1X, however, is so far and away more powerful than the base XB1 that it makes more sense to upgrade that system. The question is, however, is it worth upgrading the system when, less than 9 months from now, the XB Series X will release, essentially replacing the 1X. Is it worth $300 for 9 months? That's essentially $33 per month to upgrade the system. Likewise, I wouldn't even trade in my base model XB1 because the amount I get back for it ($75) makes it more worthwhile to keep it as a living room media/streaming center.
So I'm still trying to decide if I should upgrade one system or the other, or even upgrade at all. There are pros and cons to all 3 decisions.
Thanks for the input. That is exactly what I've been thinking, and because of that, I'm likely not even going to upgrade. The $300 price tag on the 1X with Fallen Order is an absolute steal, but with the Series X so close and my time so limited, it's best for me to just save my money and not upgrade at all. When the systems come out, I'll have put away enough to buy the Series X and with the money saved from not upgrading now, that's $300 toward the PS5 as well.Not many games seem to have as much of an improvement like the Xbox One X does. They still look great, but not Xbox One X great. In fact, there seem to be more Xbox One X enhanced games than PS4 Pro Enhanced. I noticed very little change with Spider Man and Horizon Zero Dawn which was disappointing. On last cool feature for the Xbox is it even enhances old Xbox original games and 360 games by letting them run at their full potential.
My reason for the Pro choice:
You more than likely have a larger library of games on your PS4. There is however, a really good deal on the Xbox One X right now for $299.00 which is 100.00 less than the PS4 Pro right now. But, that's my 2 cents.
Cool, do you have a Switch too? Speaking of I hear they're near to impossible for find now for some reason, I get why we're all in but it broke a record in Japan the other day. I hear you can find Switch lites but not so much the regular one. And of course scalpers are milking as much as they can get online.I have all of them.

Indeed, i have 2 Switch consoles. I gave one to my son, who at first was not interested in it. Now he can't put it down. Yeah, I heard about the shortages and that's unfortunate. People suck when it comes to shortages. Price gouging and whatnot. Just look at all the stuff going on due to the coronavirus.Cool, do you have a Switch too?

I know man, it's amazing what people will price gouge now days literally anything it seems. I know it's horrible. Few weeks back a store got in trouble for trying to sell an 8 ounce hand sanitizer purell for $100 bucks....Indeed, i have 2 Switch consoles.

Good Lord! I've seen stuff on amazon such as pancake mix that normally sells for around 6.00 for a 5 pound bag go for $45.00. It's insane. Now I'm wondering how all this will affect the PS5/XSX? There will no doubt be shortages due to what's going on.I know man, it's amazing what people will price gouge now days literally anything it seems. I know it's horrible.

I'm more interested to see if the next generation consoles will be delayed overall.Good Lord!

Yeah dude who knows, isn't one of them supposed to come out at the end of the year?Good Lord!

The Xbox Series X is supposed to launch this holiday, but of course, we'll see.Yeah dude who knows, isn't one of them supposed to come out at the end of the year?
@Juxtapose if I'm any of the big three with anything new coming out I would push it back at least 6 months to a year, as much as it sucks I think I'd rather do that and release it when things are back to normal or close to it at least than now.
I hope they delay it tbh, if things don't get much better by then.The Xbox Series X is supposed to launch this holiday, but of course, we'll see.
With what's going to happen to the gloabl economy overall, a delay might be prudent to allow people to build up some more cash.
We'll see!
