I just thought to myself:
[quote][b]"Self, why do you stick your head in those console war threads? You know the terribleness you're going to see."[/b][/quote]
After coming out of the most recent "better exclusives" thread I realized why. I don't follow gaming news much and I'm looking to see what I may have missed. For example, I highly enjoyed Dark Souls and discovered Bloodbourne in a thread similar to that one.
So, [b]instead of a "which console is better" thread, how about a "why the console you chose was better for you" thread.[/b]
The only reason I bought a PS4 was my Xbox 360 was on loan (haven't gotten it back yet :( ) when Destiny came out so I got it for the PS3 instead. I wanted to upgrade to one of the newer systems during Black Friday and went with the PS4 since I'd get Destiny for free and be able to keep my progress (it's all I was playing at the time).
I'm not saying I made the wrong decision but it was the wrong reason. Until recently the PS4 mostly collected dust because my friends list with full of people on the PS3 and... you need "friends" to enjoy Destiny.
I'm playing the PS4 more now mostly because my brother got one, but he would have gotten and Xbone if I had one.
For those of you who had a better reason than "Destiny bro" [b]what game(s)/feature(s) made you choose one over the other?[/b]
Was it something along the lines of "my bro(s) bro"?
PC gamers, feel free to chime in as well! Let us console fanboys know how inferior our decision to play this generation's equivalent to "kick the can" is. ;) The list of PC games is daunting, but I wouldn't mind hearing about some "must plays" that I missed out on in my 10 year PC gaming hiatus.
After rereading this a couple times I'm realizing there are probably a ton of games for the Wii U I'd like to play, I just don't know what they are. [b]Any Wii Users out there have a list of "must plays"?[/b] Bayonetta 2 comes to mind (along with the Nintedo staples like "Smash Bros bro").
[b]Edit:[/b] Thanks for the replies! Found some new games to look forward to and learned a pretty major technical difference between the Xbone and 4 (Xbone's external HD vs 4's upgradeable internal).

Edited by Capt Explodabob: 2/26/2015 7:26:16 AMI switched from Playstation to Xbox back in 2008 because -- in my opinion -- there is an obvious decline from PS1 and PS2 to PS3 and PS4 as far as Sony goes. Exclusives also play a massive part in my preference of Xbox. Truth be told, I always wanted an Xbox instead of a PS2 as a kid. But let's be honest -- Halo. I could have just stopped there. The BETA was the best.
