We’re probably nearing the end of this generation, with rumours of the PS5 already starting to swirl and whilst we may still have a few years left until we get to the new generation of consoles, there’s no denying both companies are working on the next step. Owning multiple consoles is a trend that seems to increase the later we get through a generation and since PS4 is beating the Xbox One by a 2:1 sales margin, this article will focus more on why PS4 gamers should add the Xbox One to their collection of gaming systems. With that said, here’s why you should own both consoles in 2018.
1. Games
PS4 and Xbox One can both boast of having some great games on their respective systems. By general consensus, it is Sony’s machine that’s had the ‘better’ exclusives this generation (as per Metacritic average scores), but that doesn’t mean the Xbox One hasn’t had good games itself, far from it, in fact. Some great Xbox One games such as Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Cuphead, the Forza series, Sea of Thieves, Dead Rising 3, Halo 5, Gears of War 4, Ori and the Blind Forest and more are all unplayable on the PS4 console. There’s a few hidden gems in the Xbox One lineup that PS4 gamers shouldn’t shun completely. If you didn’t find these games compelling enough to buy an Xbox One earlier in the generation, there sure is a big enough library here that you shouldn’t miss out on.
