Personally, at launch? No. First iterations are almost always bonked at release. I will wait for a slim version for the PS5.

Xbox however, lol. Already have a decent PC.

At that price, yeah. You'd probably get more bang for your buck with Xbox Game Pass ($10 sub per month), but most of its best games are better on PC, so if you're looking to try out exclusives, PS4 is the way to go.

@CrumUnderMe: If you're into exclusives for the PS4, I guess. 150 bucks is pretty cheap.

If you just wanna play a few games just go with the basic ones, if you wanna go with the mid-gen upgrades i say better wait for the new gen since they aparently have full backwards compatibility.

If it's powerful hardware you want then get a PC or upgrade an existing one.

Hmmm... Probably not. Games don't run particularly well on PS4.

And if you have a PC you probably don't need an Xbox.

Although if there's a specific game you want to play on PS4 and you don't want to wait to see if it runs better on PS5 then go for it I guess.

@CrumUnderMe: Yes totally! If you find a console on the cheap, there are many great games that you’ve missed.

Probably the best time to pick one up!

Stick with PC, subscribe to Uplay, Origin, and Gamepass.

You can always do what I did and wait until the generation is 3-4 years old, buy a console for <200 dollars, and then play the three or four exclusives you actually should play.

The "high end" consoles are for the console fans, not for people looking to dip their toes into console gaming.

For 100-150 I'd say the PS4 pro is totally worth getting:

-Uncharted collection

-TLOU remastered

-God of War

If you haven't played these games, you should.

I would say the Switch is worth getting. You are missing almost nothing on Xbox One if you already have a gaming PC. The PS4 is probably also going to be worth picking up at the price point you posted. God of War and Bloodborne are great. I also enjoyed Uncharted 4 and Spiderman.

Misunderstood....

I'd wait for the new consoles but I did just see, I think from Amazon prime, a listing I had to look twice at. X1X for about 2 bills. :o

That's some sweet deal there and can't see how you could go wrong.
