Cryogenicide_X Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) I need some advice guys. I'm feeling really conflicted between Playstation and Xbox. I have always primarily been a Playstation gamer all my life and do prefer Playstation, there's things that I do love about the Xbox though. I only got the Xbox One a couple of months ago so I now own both and this is why I'm feeling this way. I just can't seem to just play whichever console I want, I don't know why. It's almost as if I feel it's one or the other, you pick one or the other sort of thing instead of just enjoying both. It would be stupid however to sell my Xbox just to get rid of this feeling because that's going to the extreme. I know all this sounds silly but it's been this way ever since last generation too. I don't know what to do because it's stopping me and interfering with my gaming because of feeling this way. Any advice?

Popular Post gazdavis11 Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Just play the games you enjoy, don’t even worry what console it’s on, treat it as having the best of both worlds Edited December 15, 2019 by gazdavis11 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, because that's what's making me feel conflicted through having both I guess. I'm pulled towards Playstation on one hand and then on the other hand towards Xbox and it's just confusion.

Popular Post AffectatiousDonk Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 Having multiple systems is great. You should look into getting a Switch as well. Choice is always best. Enjoy your gaming and don’t let the Sony ponies get you down. Keep up the good fight Xbox for life. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm incredibly biased when it comes to PS vs. XB, I'll side with PS every time (I can't think of a single XB game that has ever interested me). I will be getting a Switch eventually though, I'm still going to focus on PlayStation (since I'm a bit addicted to trophy hunting), but I'll pause that for a bit whenever a fun looking exclusive gets released for the Switch. So basically, I'd say stick with PS unless XB has an exclusive title you really want to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyjabria Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 The solution is to get a Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorajet Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 You've got the best of both worlds. Just enjoy the games! I jump from PC to the Console and it really doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christhedog3 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Just sounds like an example of too much choice dude. You can't pick what to do, so you pick one and wonder if you should've picked the other? I have that problem with my backlog sometimes, find an hour to play something, feel conflicted over what it'll be.... make one choice, feel like I'd have preferred a different game, and then look at that the hour is up! They're two good consoles, but way more important is the games on them. Play what you feel my man. Also yes... get the Switch. It's a beast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Accept that life doesn’t have to be binary and you don’t have to choose one side of just about anything. You CAN have both (or more!) and it’s okay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolltideroll157 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Just play both it’s not that deep lol all you need is playstation and Xbox or pc to experience all the great games out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-1138 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Sonytendo is the only true way. The Sickly Green Cancer Machine has been OBSOLETE since day one and you must DELETE any impure thoughts of the Box of X for the sake of your immortal soul. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Having both is fine. If it really bothers you though, pick the one you play the most and you feel you will get more out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrophyChief Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 There are many out there who can only afford or have access to only one gaming device. They find joy in that one. Some are fortunate in having multiple gaming devices too. I’ve chosen to stick with one due to time constraints and other factors. The one I have chosen allows me to have the best gaming experiences around in my opinion. Best of luck to you my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Property_Damage Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Its the problem with having multiple consoles no matter what brand it is, youre gonna tend to favor one over the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neputyunu Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I do not understand the problem. About what exactly do you like to get advices? I got an XBox One X a month ago, did use it for less than a week and I am already thinking about selling it. I think you should just focus on one platform. Except if you are interested in Nintendo. Nintendo is always fitting in as a secondary platform. I mean, what kind of monster does not like Pokemon?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has a PS4, Switch and Xbox One... and also has silly feelings with things like this... here's what I do. I made rules for each console. For example... PS4 gets single player games. Xbox gets multiplayer games (or single player games with premium online features I'd like to use). Switch gets indies/smaller games/less graphically intensive games. Obviously all three consoles have exclusives, and they go to their respective homes. This is ideal since there isn't really ever a need for me to really invest in PS+ or Nintendo Online (unless I find a deal or something and want to)... as Xbox Live Gold gets the job done w/ online multiplayer and Xbox Game Pass keeps things interesting. And my buddy I play games with the most online is on Xbox anyways. Long story short... keep both, enjoy their exclusives, and just try and draw some simple lines to decide which consoles to buy/play any other games on. Even if it's just buying games you're interested in for whichever system you can find it cheapest on. Don't be afraid to check eBay for used copies or Amazon or whatever, as well as the digital storefronts depending on your preferences.

ExHaseo Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 What I've always done, is buy every console, and play whatever I feel like at the time. This generation I ended up selling my Xbox, because there was simply nothing I wanted to play on it. They cancelled the games I wanted, and everything else is on PC. I do understand feeling weird playing other consoles though. When I was trophy hunting pretty hardcore, playing on other systems bugged me. I felt like I was wasting my time whenever I played a game without trophies. I felt like I needed to rush through it to get back to trophy hunting, because it felt like I wasn't getting anything out of it. Realizing how ridiculous that was is what helped me move past it again. Trophies are great, and I still occasionally go for plats, but games are still the same games without them. No matter what system, the experience isn't any different just because something is popping up telling me I did something. So it's best to just enjoy the experience. I wish I could help you out, but ultimately, no one can really help you with this but you. You've got think about it and figure out why you're feeling the way you are. You have to really be honest with yourself. Once you do, I'm sure you'll be able to move past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I didn't feel this way because it's interfering with my gaming and most the time I find I'm doing everything but gaming because of it.

Whatever floats their boat. There isn't a right or wrong way to do it. Both systems have great exclusives, and all manner of multi-platform titles. Just a matter of finding whatever rhythm/flow works best for you. I personally like giving myself some guidelines so I don't get too wrapped up in just thinking about which console to buy a game for... I mean, there are tons of other quirky things that ruin my gaming mojo but at least that isn't one of them anymore. I also try to divvy up the workload as much as I can. If I'm going to have two or three consoles anyways, might as well use each of them equally and not put too much wear and tear on any one system.
