I haven't bought a console since the Wii. With xbox vs Playstation battles, do people often switch consoles, have both or stick to their favorite? It almost seems similar to iOS vs Android in some ways.
- muststopmyths 7y agonot really. Microsoft screwed the pooch this generation with Xbox One but in the previous generation most console gamers had both the 360 and PS3. Most console gamers now probably have a Switch and a PS4 in this generation. It's all about the exclusives, regardless of what outsiders like to think about gamers. If you play a wide variety of games, you are more likely to have a PS4 though. They just have a bigger slate of exclusives.
- donatj 7y agoI hear PS4 outsold Xbox One by a mile but it's strange because I only know people who either have the Xbox One or both. I don't know anyone who has just a PS4. I know it's a small sample size, and not representative it's just a interesting. I personally have both, and I prefer the Xbox One. We actually have two so I can game with my wife. The UI feels less like a toy, setting up groups and games is still much easier with Xbox Live than anything PlayStation has ever offered.
- marcofatica 7y agomaybe it's a regional thing? everyone I know has a ps4 and I only know one or two people with an xbox
- gundmc 7y agoHistorically it wasn't uncommon to switch, but there was also not much continuity between generations. You would keep your account and friends list, but would be restarting your library from scratch on a new console. Both Microsoft and Sony are pushing for backwards compatibility which will give users a strong incentive not to switch since they can maintain a large part of their library.
