What next gen console do you personally own? I'm curious is all. PS4 according to the news outsells the Xbox One 2:1

I haven't bought my next gen console yet. Have been an Xbox fan since the original, but if it's true PS4 is 2:1 over Xbox, I may have to look at sony harder.

Sorry, Wii U imo is not Next Gen, nor is it doing well.
 
Here is a question: why does it matter which product sells more if the games you want are on one of the consoles? Justin Bieber sells more than your favorite artist. Does that mean you are going to reconsider the kind of music you enjoy? Which console you own should be a decision of which offers you what you want (games, graphical power, apps, features, etc), not based on which has sold more units in the first 8 months of a 8 or so year life cycle.


For what it's worth, I have owned both, but sold my PS4 when the Xbox One launched. There simply aren't any exclusives on it that I care about (yet). I fully plan to purchase another when they get some games I can't play on the Xbox.
 
Haha, console. Lets see...
PS4 (bought at launch)
Vita (bought at launch)
PS3
PS2
PSP
3DS
DS
N64
GameBoy Color
GameBoy Pocket
Sega Genesis

Oh, and a gaming PC.

You sold your PS4 7 days after it launched? I can understand not having many titles then...

None were announced that I was interested in. And 8 months later, still not a single exclusive I regret not getting to play. There is nothing just on the PS4 I care enough to buy another for. And, since I could make a profit selling my PS4 (I hadn't even opened it), I went ahead and did it. I didn't even sell it for a ton of money. I listed it at $475 when it was very hard to get a hold of (and in IL, that is like $30 over retail after taxes).

What's with the quotes around "personally"? Are you worried that people are going to start responding with counts of consoles they publicly own?

To answer your question as far as the next gen goes, zero. And it appears it will stay that way for some time. Between a lack of exclusives I would actually play and upcoming real life events, I have zero interest in the next gen consoles.
 
both. i won my ps4 through taco bell though. had i not won one, i wouldn't have the ps4 yet since there really are no games for it.
 
Bone, as Sony doesn't make games I care for, except MLB The Show, which I'm not going to spend $460 + tax to play.
 
I seem to have a knack for collecting consoles. Only major one that I haven't purchased to date is the Wii U. Seem to go back and forth between the PS4 and XB1 and there are a lot of games coming out that will keep me busy.
 
I have an Xbox One but the selection of games is a bit small right now so I am just waiting for more to be released.
 
PS4.

It has been worth it alone for MLB The Show 14. I'm almost ashamed to admit, but I've probably sunk over 200 hours into it since buying it together with NBA2k14, and I'm still playing daily. That's worth it to me.

WiiU is an 8th gen console true story. It has also outsold the Xbone.

The 360, PS3, and Wii have outsold all of the new consoles. They must be 8th gen, by that logic.

The guy's wrong to claim which generation the console belongs in, but sales are equally as relevant to the matter.
 
Capability wise, it's not even close...true story.


Also the XB1 has sold 550,000 units a month on average since release. The wiiu can only boast about 325,000 units a month average. If the XB1 was out at the same time as the wiiu and kept the same momentum, we would be at 11.5million xb1 consoles sold. I don't even wanna imagine how many ps4 systems that would end up being if it could keep the same momentum for 21 months.

Neither are those of the Xbox One. So far, the only "current" console with anything to brag about sales-wise is the PS4 (plus the 3DS, if we're counting that).

Hasn't the Xbox One outsold what each the 360 and PS4 did, in the first six months of their retail lives?

Well said. And I'm in the same boat... I had a PS4 on launch day, realized that I didn't see any games on the horizon that interested me, and then returned it when I couldn't manage to profit on it. I have no doubt that I will own one, once there are exclusives that I want to play.

The Xbox One library suits my interests much more at this time.

It's all about the games.

Maybe it did at first, but for the last three or four months it's been lagging well behind the PS4. And even if it did outsell the 360 and PS3, that's not actually that impressive of an achievement considering the PS2 still ruled the roost for a good year or so after the 360 launched, while the PS3's launch was a complete mess thanks to its ludicrous price and being overshadowed by the Wii.
 
Please don't turn this into a "which console is better" thread, as it'll be probably locked. This is about console ownership, which I'm curious about, regardless if you got the console you have because you think it's better, or because it harmonizes better with your Feng Shui house.

Bah... I mistyped... I meant "the 360 and PS3".
