Get an xbox one x. Most powerful console, can play UHD 4k bluray (no other console at the moment can). Xbox play anywhere which means if you have a gaming PC you can play the same game on both, no need to buy multiple copies.
Can also use my xbox controller on PC and apparently the controller can now play games on apple too.

Also, **** getting a new console, history has shown there are barely any games to enjoy and it isnt until the 3rd year you get the best games that utilize the hardware. Forget paying markup for a new console, just enjoy current gen, when prices drop, thats the time to get a new one. This will work out especially if you dont play much (just get a new in box console from craigslist, i did).
FYI, the PS4 Pro supports 4k and HDR, also.

I've got Xbox and PS4, they're both equal in perceivable performance.

Bottom line, it all falls down to how much of an experience you want (which PC cannot be beat....but a console rules when you want to sit on the couch and play) and what games you want to play (some games are Xbox only, others PS4 only, etc.)

Xbox. I’ll never touch another PlayStation again after the crap my PS3 did. What’s the new cod based on? I like WWII but that’s about it.


Pick your poison.

Its the new Modern Warfare. And its epic. The beta was an absolute blast, I hate all the recent futuristic crap, this does away with all that and goes back to its roots. The gunsmith feature allows you to swap about everything on your gun and each item makes a difference both positive and negative. Scopes, barrels, grips, stocks, magazine upgrades (higher caliber like 458 socom but with a slower fire rate and lower caliber for faster fire rate). Etc etc

What was wrong with your PS3? I'm still rocking my 80GB fat PS3 that my wife bought new for me. I'm surprised it's still kicking after all these years to be honest with you.

Since having my first daughter nearly 3.5 years ago, I've pretty much stopped playing online games. The only thing that sounds interesting and I'm waiting on it to become more mainstream (unless it already is?) is VR. I think being submerged into the game will be far more exciting than just staring at the screen.

They were prone to cracks in the solder joints because of no lead (children's toy...law...blah). I had sent my 80GB fat in for warranty due to that. Known as the red screen of death.

It cannot play 4k Ultra HD, those blu rays look like this:

Its incredible on my LG OLED.
The hardware in the XB 1 X is better. Play anywhere feature is great too. I cant wait to get MS Flight Simulator 2020, will mainly play it on PC, and when I get lazy can play it on the X as well.

I've been thinking of getting a X, this might push it to happen sooner than later.

I've been toying with the idea of getting an One X for this reason. I don't game much anymore and my 360 has been sitting for months without being turned on. However, if the X will play all my 360 games and get me 4k BR capability...

Just have to present a strong business case to my CEO and CFO.

VR is getting more mainstream but it's expensive to get into. Good friend of mine has a nice setup for VR, uses it mostly for racing as he does the iracing or whatever the more realistic simulator racing is. He has tons of money invested in his computer, VR and steering wheel/seat setup. I've tried it out both for racing and some shooter games. Its incredible, the racing stuff really is awesome especially with a good wheel setup. The corkscrew at laguna seca literally makes me feel sick going down it lol.

That being said I could play xbox for hours on end with no problems, VR I can only do 15-20 minutes without taking a break, it may just be me but it really messes with your senses. I tried doing some donuts in a mustang and felt like I was going to throw up
