Which system has the games you want to play, pick that one.

Also, if you are "seriously casual", why would you get a PS4 Pro when you could get a PS4 Slim?

why would a casual gamer buy a ps4 pro? buy the slim version, make sure it has a 1tb hard drive.

My Xbox one is still trucking after over 2 years.
No problems.
I prefer the Xbox controller. Specifically the Elite. It's awesome.
I don't like the ps controllers at all. They feel goofy.
At this point neither is better than the other. Buy what your friends have, get the one that has the games you like if any of them are exclusives (should be seeing less and less of these, developers don't want to only be able to reach 50% of the potential market).
Sooner or later we'll have cross platform game parties and then it really won't matter at all.

Yep, the xbox controller feels much more comfortable to me.

I had a love/hate relationship with achievements and Gamerscore...I remember playing games long after I was bored with them just to hit the 1000 points and dropping games I was still having fun with because I hit the 1000. Now I'm spending almost all my gaming time playing a game that's been out for 2 and a half years and have had the 1000/1250/1500 for it for a while.

I don't understand the point of gamerscores and achievements and trophies. You don't actually get anything for getting them, either in game or out. They're just there so you can brag to your online friends about the time you found all the collectibles in an RPG? Why would anyone care about that? Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

I've always said there's nothing to be ashamed of for playing video games, but there's also nothing to be proud of for excelling at them.

Console exclusivity is growing, not decreasing.

Sony has many flagship first party studios. I think Microsoft still has a couple and is probably trying to get more.

Exclusive titles is probably why Sony is winning the current console wars... and it seems to remain that way for the next year or two based on the upcoming release schedule.

Aside from Gears of War, which is a pretty stale franchise, what exclusives does Xbox even have these days? Forza I guess. I think Tomb Raider started out as an Xbox exclusive, but its on every system now.

PlayStation has Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank and the recently released Horizon Zero Dawn.

I've always said there's nothing to be ashamed of for playing video games, but there's also nothing to be proud of for excelling at them.

This doesn't apply anymore to me but there was a satisfaction to hearing that stupid little achievement sound for the last time when you knew you hit 1000/1000 on a game. Especially satisfying were really tough ones like COD4 (Mile High Club was a bitch).

Might be a stupid reason to play in your book. That's fine. I'm sure as hell not going to go to bat for it now because I don't really care about it anymore. But I'd argue regardless of why you are playing, it's all ultimately insignificant as we are talking about video games so if you are getting enjoyment out of it, for whatever reason, who really cares?

Halo...though I'm not sure how much of a cash cow that franchise has been for them since 343 took over development.

My hope would be Microsoft announces some exclusive stuff at E3 that's worth playing. If all we get is an hour of Scorpio talk followed by 10 minutes of Crackdown 3 and a teaser for a new Halo, I'll be extremely dissapointed

Do you really need 1tb? I upgraded to an S recently. 500gb for $250 on Amazon. Quieter and smaller than the original VCR looking thing.
