I have a PS4 Pro already. Most of my college buddies have Xbox One. We mainly stay in touch by playing FIFA online against each other, and I’m very seriously considering getting a X1 just for FIFA. Someone tell me I shouldn’t buy a console for just one game.

You shouldn’t buy a console for just one game.*

*Coming from someone who bought a PS3 several years ago just to play The Last of Us.

If there’s any console to buy for just one game, it’s PS4 for Horizon Zero Dawn.

Honestly if you think you’ll get a lot of enjoyment out of it and you can comfortably afford it, I won’t stop you.

I bought a PS4 Pro when I already had a PS4 because I want those sweet sweet HDR graphics.

I’m currently contemplating buying an Xbone or a Steam Link so I can play Cuphead on my big TV.

BUY THE CONSOLE.

Don’t fret, buying an Xbox for just one game is completely aligned with Xbox tradition. It’s just that that one game used to be Halo.

I bought an Xbox 360 just for Forza 4, but several years later I traded it all in to get a PS4 just for Uncharted 4. I like the PS ecosystem better; I eventually bought some other games like Yakuza 6 and planning to get GT Sport.

PS4 has certain streaming apps like HULU while X1 has other streaming capabilities.

I want to play games.... and cut the TV cord so bad, but I am just missing the X1.

I traded my PS4 in for the Pro since Gamestop was having this ridiculous trade in offer that offset the cost of the upgrade, I only had to pay $12.

Now Walmart has a BF1 XB1S special edition for $200 that I’m very seriously considering

Or Forza. I bought my original Xbone for Forza 5.

Buy it. I’m getting ready to buy a PS4 because all of my buddies have PS4 and I’ve got an Xbox one. I was all set to get the bundle with the new CoD, except the system is green/camo... So I’m going to buy the system and the game separately. Should I get the PS4 pro or slim?

You’ve come to a bunch of enablers to talk you out of doing something foolish? You’ve come to the wrong spot my friend.

Buy the Xbone. I’ve got both and play both fairly regularly. Mostly Ghost Recon and some COD on PS4 with my buddies, Forza and Dirt Rally and some others on the Xbone.

I got the Pro just because it supports 4K and I have a 4K TV

Dude I did the same and then went and bought a ps4 a few years later specifically to play the remastered version too. So worth it though.

LOL. I almost did that same thing with a PS4.

$200 would have me seriously considering getting an xbone.

I want a Switch too, dammit. But then I’d probably get rid of my 3DS. No I wouldn’t who am I kidding...

Don’t buy a console for just one game.

There I did it.. Do I get anything?

I’m about to buy a PS4 and wheel just for the new Gran Turismo. It’s all I’d do with it.
