Xbox One; Keep or Sell?


joanro

So I am seriously considering selling my Xbox One to buy a PlayStation 4. However, I keep telling myself I shouldn't because of the money I have put into it. I don't have many physical copies of games. In fact, I own about 4 games right now. I also own some digital games, including The Witcher 3 and Gears of War 4. I also have some accessories I have purchased, including a Turtle Beach X One headset. And finally, I still have about 5 months left of Xbox Live.

 

Okay, so my reasons for wanting a PS4 are as follows; more games I am interested in playing. There isn't much that I am interested in playing on the Xbox One this year. The game I most wanted to play on the One has been already released and even if I sell the One, I would still be able to play it on PC. I like fighting games and there are more of them on the PS4 than the One. Also, Street Fighter V. I mean I own it on the PC, but I imagine there are more people playing on PS4 than PC. I would love to be able to play it in my room without having to go to the computer. Another reason is I own both a PS3 and a Vita, so PS Plus would be more than worth it for me.

 

Decisions, decisions. So, would you sell it or just keep it if you were me?

For me, the Xbox One exclusives is not what I love about it. I could not care less about that. What I love about it, is the selection of games overall. I don't care that the games are coming out on other systems too, I still get to play it and on top of that, the system has many features that I absolutely adore. So for me, exclusives or no exclusives, the system has been fantastic. I have over 300 games for it, if that says anything. People often forget the digital only games too.

 

For me, exclusives do not make a system. Which is exactly why the Switch currently has me doubting it a lot.

 

I personally say don't sell it, but I am not sure if what I say matters in this regard.

Keep it, personally BC so far has really justified me keeping an Xbox One, even when the lack of exclusives have really been irritating me

The experience is no different on either console. But if you can just transfer digital purchases to PC, then I guess you could just sell the Xbone and get a PS4. Either get the "old" PS4 or spring for the "Pro". The Slim model is basically the same as the original PS4, just extremely ugly.

I don't necessary think exclusives are everything, but I think exclusives are definitely a big factor in deciding in what console to buy. For example, I love Gears of War. Other than being more familiar with Xbox and it's online service, Gears being solely on the Xbox One swayed my decision to purchase a One. If that game had been snagged by Sony(which probably wouldn't have happened), it definitely would have swayed my decision in the other direction.

To be honest, this isn't a feature I use very often. I do think it's a really neat feature, but BC is not something I have ever cared for too much.

Unfortunately, it only works for certain games. Specifically, first party games, like Forza Horizon 3, Recore, Gears of War 4, etc.,

 

So, I have decided to keep my One. Maybe, I'll just try to save some money, so I can buy a PS4 without having to sell my One. Thanks for the comments.
