Post E3 Beginner's Guide to Gen 8.5

>MID TIER
Xbox One X
The price tag is actually a pretty good deal given the specs it's packing. You will get access to almost all big name games running smoother and looking better than on any other console, as well as a healthy host of western games exclusive to Microsoft platforms. The controller is the best of gen 8, the online is still leaps ahead of PSN, and the backwards compatibility is also a big advantage against the competition.
Price = $500

>MEDIUM-LOW TIER
PS4 Pro
You'll still be happy here, but you won't be playingbthe definitive version of pretty much anything unless it's exclusive to the console, most of which are heavily-eastern inspired games most westerners won't assimilate to as well. If you're big on Japanese games and only want to pay a few hundred, this will be fine, but otherwise you're better off paying the extra $100 and getting the Xbox.
Price = $400

>LOW TIER
Switch
The library just isn't there right now. I'm not saying you can't have fun with it, but what you have to choose from is sparse, the multiplat games are almost nonexistant or run terribly, and some of the functionality, such as how online chat is handled, is very questionable. Still worth it for the loyalists, but not the average joe.
Price = $300

>NOW YOU'RE IN FREE FALL TIER
PS4 Slim
Don't do this unless you need to save every last cent to your name. The longevity just isn't there. Sony will continue to support the console, but the future versions of the games you get will look and play worse and worse. Strongly reccomend you bite the bullet and spend more.
Price = $250

>ROCK BOTTOM TIER
Xbox One S
I guess if you want a 4K blu ray player that also happens to have games...? Because besides that you have all the same problems as the PS4 Slim option but with even worse game performance. It does have a better online and controller pad, but I don't expext this thing to even be supported by some devs after a year, despite Microsoft's statements to the contrary.
Price = $250

All of Xbox games are on PC so there is no reason to get that console over the PS4 which has shit tons of exclusive games.

Pretty good job, OP

Of course, because this is /v/, fanboys will fond a reason to get salty over your list

Without PC, Xbone X is better for most people.

Stop.

>>380223608
You didn't list any of the games not on PS4 but thhat are on Xbox. Over 20 of them were announced yesterday alone. Did you only watch the sony conference?

>>380224346
Do you faggots actually read the OP before getting triggered?

>the highest three tiers exclude Xbox entirely
>the cheapest tiers have PS4 beating Xbone
>sonybros still get furious at OP
Is there a worse fanbase?
Maybe Seattle Seahawk fans? That's the only thing even closely comparable I can think of.

Honestly pc + switch is the best choice

You don't understand. Sonybros are literally rabbid when it comes to their console's success.
Praose isn't enough. They demand complete remobal of cometitors from the industry.

>>380224853
They act just like young children it's sad, and this is coming from a PS4 owner

>Unless you're a massive weeb, the X1X beats out the PS4 Pro once the high ens PC is removes from the board. This way you get the best version of all AAA multiplats a console can provide as well as a healthy range of nintendo titles.

Sea Of Thieves, Super Lucky Tale, Crack Down 3

somehow this appeals to non-weebs more than:

Days Gone, God Of War, Spiderman, Uncharted, TLOU, Bloodborne, Nioh, Wipeout, Gran Turismo

Yeah.....nah LOL

>>380223073

Do you have a 4k TV? PS4 Pro. If not, PS4 will do you fine.

For PC, wait for a sale and get the best you can afford. Put in as many quite fans as you can. Heat is your enemy. Boot drive SSD (don't even think of using regular HD). You really can't go wrong as long as you pay attention to Amazon/Newegg reviews.

Switch and Xbox One? LOL

Don't get roped into all these arguments on what's the best. You know your game preference and budget. Think for yourself.

>>380223608
What is that PC only game?

I have my 1337 gaymen PC and a PS4. Couldn't give less of a fuck about the exclusives on Nintendo/Xbox. Not to mention I already beat BOTW on CEMU.

>>380225380

The dude is a massive Xbox faggot

See this:

>>MEDIUM-HIGH TIER
PS4 Pro + Switch
Similar to the super high tier only slightly cheaper, albeit with inferior multiplat performance and a lack of access to a lot of western big name games.

You forgot 2 generation backwards compatibility, cuphead, forza 7, halo, Ori, Ashen, Gears of War, State of Decay.

The games you meantioned do not appeal to normies, the vast majority of the market by far.

Look at pic related. Nobody cares about nloodborne. Nobody cares about Nier. Nobody cares about Persona.

The OP was pretty blunt that the best options make Xbox irrelevant.
Once you get rid of PC, which you shouldnt, scorpio beats out PS4. I'm sorry anon. It's true

>>380225663
>the dude is a massive Xbox faggot
>list clearly says Xbox is irrelevant for the highest tiers
Jesus Christ dude control your salt

>>380225864
This is what the core Xbox fanbase thinks about games like Forza 7, Cuphead, etc They don't give a fuck anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM8XrDbbEL4

The OP is biased for Xbox and there's nothing wrong calling him out on it.

>>380225663
PS4 + PC makes Xbone pointless. OP was pretty clear about that.

Without PC, which is a pretty big IF, XboneX is a better option for most normies. That's pretty obvious, anon. OP even states that weebs should stick to PS4 anyway. But weebs are a small minority.

>shits all over Xbox
>biased to Xbox

>>380226126
The only biased person here is you, dude.
OP is right. PS4 + PC is the way to go.
Without the PC, most normies are better ofd with Xbox.

>>380226226
>>shits all over Xbox
by saying PS4 is going to miss out on big western titles

He's full of shit mate.

Spiderman, Uncharted, The Last Of Us, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, Death Stranding, Days Gone, Wipeout, Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot

- Exclusive to PS4.

He's either biased for Xbox or just extremely miss informed or both.

>>380226126
PC + PS4 Pro > PC + X1X

X1X > PS4 Pro

It's not complicated anon

>>380226452
>uncharted
At least try anon

>>380226452
Nah, he was pretty clear that PS4 and PC are the naster race.

Post your PC with a timestamp anon. I'm curious to see if you even have one that can outperform scorpio. You are really sounding triggered over what OP describes as mid tier

>>380226126
>Xbox thinks Sea Of Thieves is shovelware and Forza 7 is boring

holy kek

>>380226452
>uncharted
>a crach fucking remake
>wipeout
Anon, stop

See here. >>380225864

Inform yourself.

>>380226462
>X1X > PS4 Pro

Games > No games

If you're going by Hardware spec PC > All

No reason for Xbox to be anywhere in that list. It literally doesn't have a single exclusive that PC can't run better.

Why arw sonybros butt blasted in here? List looks pretty biased to PS4 to me

>>380226840
That's the point doofas.
With the PC Xbox becomes irrelevant.

Without it tho it beats PS4, for normies at least, which OP was also clear about.

>>380226840
Thank you for proving OP's point

>>380226126
Microsoft somehow managed to make dudebros hate crackdown 3 and called it the downgrade it is

>If you have a PC you don't need a Xbox

>>380226846
>Why are sonybros butt blasted in here? List looks pretty biased to PS4 to me
They're mad because wvwn though OP prwtty clwarly stated that the PS4 and PC combo makes Xbone completely irrelevant and that the base model PS4 > base model X1, hw also stated that the one area where Xbox would be more appealing to normies is if there is no high end PC option on the table due to being a poorfag or underaged at which point just an Xbox One X is a better option than just a PS4 pro. And even then he clarified that of the gamer has an eastern preferwnce they should still get the PS4 Pro.

TL;DR the mere thought of a hyper specific scenario where Xbox beats out PS4 is enough to drive fanboys crazy.

>>380227329
REEEEE DELET XBOX IS SATANIC!
BUY DESTINY! IT HAS EXCLUSIVE MAPS ON PS4!!!!!!!!!!1!1111

>>380227329
But that's an accurate statement.
Without PC, X1X is better for most people.

Anyone with a brain stem tho knows you need a good PC. So why the hate?

>>380227592
Because sonybros are literally manchildren.

Why do Xturds who have obviously migrated to windows 10 already because the console is so shit still trying to keep it relevant? There is not a single reason for it to be a purchase option under any circumstances. Everything it can do can be done elsewhere or is outright not going to be console because exclusivity.

Nobody thison this board even half ironically suggested adopting the PS4 Over the XB1 since it ran multiplats better because its literally irrelevant in the face of PC gaming. Consoles are defined by their exclusives on here and the Xbox has none so there is not a single reason to purchase one.

>>380227675
>thwre is not a single reason to purchase one
Except price, which was OP's point

>>380227675
>there is not a single reason to spend $800+ instewd of $500 if all you want to do is play COD, fifa, and deatiny
I agree with you, but your argument falls flat with normies.
/v/ is not the majority gamer opinion

After EA, Bethesda and Ubisofts conference you'd be dumb to base which console your gonna get on which can run multiplats the best, multiplats are horrible right now, the only thing consoles have going for them is exclusives

>>380227912
Nobody cares about exclusives. See >>380225864

>>380227912
If PC is not on the table, then Xbox neats out playstation in exclusives unless you're a massive weabu fag

With PC, Xbox is pointless tho.

You van't have it both ways anon

>ps4 - 2 games
>xoxo - 0 games
>switch - 0 games

Why the fuck would you buy ANY of these. It's pretty clear PC is the future. We are getting all the japanese games. It's over. Consolefags lost

Multiplats so far run fine on Switch, and there's a decent amount of them. Disgaea runs great and is the definitive version , Puyo Tetris runs great, Yuka-Laylee runs fine, same with Snake Pass and Setsuna.
Dragon Quest doesn’t look as great, but it runs okay. At most the games just won't look as good.

Nobody gives a shit about high end PC gaming.
99.999% of people that play on PC have toasters and just play rocket league, dota, and LoL

>Exclusives which are the only reason to buy consoles don't matter if Xbox can run multiplats better than PS4 and Switch

How hasn't anybody called out OP on his massive Xbox fanboyism?

High end PC gaming is for faggots.

I want a dedicated gaming interface. Not some lazy Steam overlay dipshittery.
