Should I get an Xbox One S?

That for obvious reason is a personal choice but I have never regretted my Xbox purchases.

Hi there,

In my opinion you would be better off saving a little extra and going for the X model, the performance improvement alone is well worth the price!

As Others have said, the choice is yours to make, even if on the xbox forum nobody will answer "NO" to such a question.

As a gamer, the only doubt is the motivation...trying to save money and getting a new system are hardly compatible in my opinion, since if you like it you're going to get as much as possible out of it, which usually means buying...buying...and buying even
more.

I would personally suggest to stick with whatever has more games available to you or if you're willing to buy games you haven't played before on a new console.

This is just my small suggestion, so take it as you will.

I would say why can't you have both consoles that way you can have the best of both worlds? I have an Xbox One that I purchase most of my games on bit also a PS4 for the exclusives.

A big benefit of Xbox One is EA Access and Game Pass that will both give you can get a very big selection of games to play at very reasonable price.

Short answer: Yes

Long answer: Heck Yes!

The thumbstick placements on a PS controller is the worst placement in the history of controllers so I’d change just for that.

Play the console you feel most comfortable with. Yes, playstation has alot of exclusives but with xbox you have access to backwards compatibility, game pass, cross platform play and many other great options.

They are both consoles but it really just boils down to your preference and definately don't rely on a game store to give you great input. Most of those guys are made up of fanboys and will only direct you to their personal choice.

Hi there,

As Smwutches and others have said, it's going to be your call. Here are few questions to help you with your decision...

Do you play more solo games, or co-op/multiplayer games? If co-op/multiplayer more, what console do your friends play on?

If you've always been a PlayStation person, what is making you look to get an Xbox now?

With a new job, are you spending more or less time playing on a console?

How does getting an Xbox One save you money, assuming you don't have any games currently?

If you are trying to save money, you need to look at purchases as falling into one of two categories -
Needs (things you need in order to survive-shelter, food, etc.) and
Wants (things that can make your life better, but is not required to live-theater/movie/concert tickets, new TV when your current one works fine, etc.). Wants are things people save up for and spend their 'extra' money on after all the Needs
(bills) are taken care of.

Both consoles have their good things, don't get me wrong. I'm just not following the logic of saving money by purchasing a new console.
