If you have a 4K tv it is a no brainer. No other consoles offer a good 4K experience

How many articles with that exact title does it take to convince you?

I have a Pro already, I just need to pick myself up an X!

All the reason you need to buy a Pro over he X. Games.

I don't want a XboxoneX or a PSpro. I'm good with my PS4 and Xbox one. I see both as a waste of money, and would rather spend my money on upcoming games.

Xboxone really offers nothing that I want that I can't get with the PS4 anyway. I'm not into paying that much for a slight graphical upgrade.

1. Better graphics
2. Better controller
3. Better online service

4. Better/Worse Ganes depending on what you like

Keep up the PR, Marketing and agenda to persuade non xbox fans to purchase an xbox console.

Lmfaoo I love the Xbox fan boys lol xB one x is coming in at end of this console generation , PS5 is right around the corner , and Xbox will fall behind a year or so , when PS5 will be enjoying Superior performance and new games , while u guys are stuck on last gen. I'll being enjoying 4k at 60fps HDR , this I love PS5 is around the corner , and if Microsoft dates the come out with next gen Xbox only a year later there will be alot of pissed off people , my pro will get 2 to 3 years which is enough to enjoy EXCLUSIVE FF7 LOL AND SPIDER MAN AND GOD OF WAR AND ETC. SO MANY EXCLUSIVES . SONY GOT THERE 70MILLION SOLD CONSOLES THEY ARE NO WHERE NEAR WOREIED ALSO SONY WILL NEVER DIE BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE FOR XBOX IN JAPAN ON. SONY AND NINTENDO AND WILL KEEP VERY GOOD JAPANESE COMPANIES MAKING EXCLUSIVES ... BESIDES EVEN MICRISOFT EXCLUSIVES ARE JUMPING SHIP TO SONY

ill wait till it has bigger hard drive a cheaper price and some actual games

2018/2019 is looking amazing for playstation

Another Forbes article touting the Xbox One X over the PS Pro. "It's the only console you can play Forza, Halo and Gears of War on". The PS4 is the only console on which you can play over 21 exclusives this year alone including Uncharted: Lost Legacy, 2 Yakuza games, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Nioh, Nier: Automata, Persona 5 and more. The Xbox One cannot even be spoken of in the same breath when it comes to exclusives. Most of the other reasons given in the article are subjective In fact, where gaming is concerned, there is really only one area where the Xbox One X excels - it is more powerful - for now.

It is good that the Xbox One X is out there and gamers have another choice but to assert that it is better overall than the PS4 Pro is a stretch. The number of exclusive games available on the PS4 alone makes the console more desirable to many gamers.

The #1 reason to buy an X1X is if you like to have spider webs in your tv cabinet.

Two simple reasons to get PS4 PRO.... Games and Price.... Counting pixels from one foot away doesnt count...

Oh cmon Microsoft, just have normal ads like everyone else. They should be fined for this, as if Forbes actually cares about this.

An artical written by a fanboy enough said

so if a xbox gamer was to switch, wouldnt a ps fan recommend past games to or just recommend games that show and play better on the x? if you never had that system should you only play new games? i just bought a switch, i only played it twice, but hey why not try it, right

and we all have opinions, i have a ps4, and what you all think and say are system sellers are not to me

Hey Forbes, the Xbox one s was the first upgraded console, but now the only other one in production.
The x is the third iteration this gen... the only reason to get an x, is if that is all you buy and you want only a Microsoft console.
“The best version” was argued for 3 years thus canceling out “the best version”.
Even Phil stated, several times, games matter over pixels... until the x released of course.
Sony can easily release another upgraded console. If three consoles upgrades are ok for one group, there would be no arguing over it.

Coming from the same guy who tweeted:

'I'm digging the Xbox One X, but it's held back by a lack of any killer app and a hefty price-tag'

Yeah, MS didn't pay anyone to post this...

Eric Kain a true fanboy showing the x colors..

Better looking console, the only place to play halo, forza, gears, I'll leave the most powerful out because he overlapped with the last and truest reason why anyone with an x one bought it. BRAGGING RIGHTS.

As a guy on multiple gaming forums this is THE one reason everyone falls back on. Multiplied and exaggerated. I see the games in motion and think eh, while fanboys like eurogamer and Erik and forum goers everywhere paint a picture of Atari vs a maxed out 2000 dollar PC. It's nowhere near the case.

Also I've never seen so many gamers in my life be so excited (they really arent) to go backwards in a library. The BC factor doesn't make a 360 game look like a just released game.

Since Eric names the 3 exclusive games worth playing someone needs to mention the shit ton of exclusives that can't be played on the Xbox. Yes we have way more than 3 tired franchises in the past and foreseeable future. Excellent AAA games not Indies.

I give Phil credit though he understands life the mindset of the x gamer the last 4 years. It's been painful, hardly any exclusives and underpowered. So he gave them all they really need, BRAGGING RIGHTS. They personally don't care if they get checkers and long as long as it's the best version on console.

Just an opinion piece like Erik....

This article is laughable😂
Y does forbes care who buys which console again?
1: 4k blu ray, sure if u into that. Not a deal breaker imo.
2: Power, that's obvious now n main talk of XBOX (Nice title)
3: Better looking? Is that a real reason? (Title)
4: Forza, Halo & Gears? How much was this system n u name only 3 exclusives?
5: A controller? 😐 (preference)
6: Live vs PSN? again (preference)
7: B/C? Good deal all consoles should have it 👍
8: Game Pass? If that's ya thing kewl.
9: Bragging rights? 1 & 2 repeated unbelievable lol.
It'll always b system wars cause of views like this. At the end of the day it's preference. Enjoy ya R&R n console/consoles u wanted n bought. Whoever don't like it, tell em 2 kiss ya a**

Game on

"These days, it's hard to find a console not worth buying which just makes picking and choosing a console that much more difficult."

What?? Absolutely not, for me the Xbone/x isn't worth buying, there's nothing i care about it. I don't need 4K (no TV) and i don't see any exclusive i'd like to play, that's why i sold my old one. Why would i waste $500?

"This will continue to be a factor in coming years, as Xbox One X versions of popular games like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed outpace Sony's machine."

In coming years? Mh... right. Because a more powerful PS won't come out. Sony is happy with the actual PS4 (well.. they would be right ;P ) and it will be forever that. And donkeys fly. Understood.
I know people will tell me "but when? in 2 years? in 3 years??" and i tell them: the journalist, if we can call him that, said "in coming years". That could mean 2, 3, 4, 5, or more. But in coming years, i see more powerful consoles coming out, so...

"3. The Xbox One X is a better-looking console."

What?!? It's like a PS2 without the sort of stripes on the sides... i wouldn't say better-looking. Compact yes, nothing more.

"4. It's the only console you can play Forza, Halo and Gears of War on."

IF you like those games. Or if you don't have a PC. And i wouldn't put it as a point in favor, since it's too much subjective. Of course if you're crazy about one of those game, you won't buy a PS4 or a Switch...

"5. The Xbox One has a better gamepad. As with games, taste in controllers largely boils down to individual preference."

Exactly, it boils down to individual preferences. You can't try to sell a console saying something that for you is ok but for others is not. I understand the higher resolution (about X), the more quiet factor (less or more, about the X) and those things. But not subjective points, it's a nonsense! I have the pad for my PC because it's the only thing i kept from my old One and no, for me it's not better for example. And it's not for many other gamers. So another things i'd put as a note, like "and some player prefer this gamepad to the others".

"Xbox Live is still better than PSN."

Well, this could be. Since i don't play much online. But when i do, i've never met any problem with my PS and when i download a game is very fast (due to my provider too, probably). So i don't really know.

"BC"

Right... let's spend $500 to play old games. If people are happy for that, everyone is happy ;)

"9. Bragging Rights."

After this.... i think i know why when i read it was a Forbes article my senses were tingling. Really... so, a 9 points list where you have 5-6 of them just put there because of personal tastes and this last point because the writer wanted to joke (i hope). He seemed to try so hard to sell a product he had no idea what to say about, for showing it was better. Besides the usual graphics etc. Well... ok.

The answer is still NO. Without fun games, a powerful machine is nothing but metal scrap.

Is anyone really falling for this non gaming site article. Don't get triggered, next week they will do a new article saying the opposite

And 99 reasons to buy a PS4 over an xbone

Can't imagine an article like this setting well with the fanboys, any reason, just one alone why you should get an Xbox one x over a PlayStation will be met with disagrees on n4g..

The main reason to pick up any PS4 over Xbox GAMES.

If I can play The Last of US 2, Spider Man, God of War, Bloodborne 2, Ni no kuni 2, Days Gone, Zelda, Mario or Metroid on Xbox then I would definitely buy an Xbox one x right now without caring to spend almost $600.

Otherwise the Xbox is not a good deal for me. I can already play multiplatform games on my console or PC. No need for Xbox.

If I can't not play compelling exclusive XBO games on the X like I can play compelling PS4 exclusives on my Pro then there's absolutely zero reasons for me to buy an X.I really don't care about playing old dated looking games in higher resolution & I can play all my multi-plats on my Pro & they look great displayed on my 4k hdr tv.

1 reason to buy a PS4 over an Xbox1X. Games

Are any of those reasons actual upcoming exclusives that I can't get off Steam?

Forbes say 9 reasons to buy x1x i can't phantom One reasons to buy x1x Not a fking reason to buy it No exclusive.
Power but No exclusive games equal no sales .
This MY PERSONAL reason only .

Why not both? ;)

Number #1 reason:
the best MP games in the industry!

The Pro has a handful of nice exclusives, which look just fine on the standard PS4. The X enhances old games and 3rd party games better than the Pro. A few games or hundreds of better looking games?

M$ is soooooooo going to efff you over if you buy into XB1X.
It's already past the mid point of this gen.
Sony will be announcing the PS5 within the next year or 2 and no doubt will be twice the power of the xbonex1.
Any decent exclusives MS is working on for the X1X is YEARS down the road and what is going to happen is MS will save their Exclusives to launch with the XBONEX2 so they can attempt to catch pack up to Sony. MS are QUICKLY going to abandon the Xbone1x when the PS5 is announced.

https://youtu.be/dSGgODCqpF...

I can give you twice as many reasons not to buy either

meanwhile, nintendo is sitting at the top looking down on both sides talking about "we have games...you have no games!"...exclusive this, exclusive that." all day long..... in case anyone forgot....the top 2 consoles last month were the switch AND the snes mini (which only has 30 OLD games).

In Target as I type & lots of folks are grabbing PS4 slims & a few grabbing the XBOS.

Xbox x would have been a must have if it had games from the ground up but for the life of me, I do not know why anyone would nuy this knowing you can the same games on an S model for under £200. Stupid m0ve by ms if you ask me.

Microsoft, I'm going to write this again and again despite all these repetitive 'online jobs' you endorse and pay for.

Microsoft, none of those 9 reasons include exclusive games. People purchase consoles because of their exclusive licenses. Let me give you an example: Last of Us 2, Nioh, Horizon Zero Down with Frozen Wilds, Insomniac's Spiderman, Days Gone, Naughty Dog's Uncharted Legacy. These games among many other exclusive titles gives the reasons why many stick to the PS4.

Why should I play these two years old games on a console when I can play them on a PC. There is no reason to add a new console if there is no significant new material to get excited for. Microsoft, you are late since this generation is ending. Next time stop being so stingy and invest in exclusive titles and studios instead of closing studios of potential good game developers.

Sorry, but these articles shows how desperate you are Microsoft. No one will purchase 600 dollars to play two years old third party games with better resolution and frame rate. Microsoft, ask yourself why Sony is printing money right now.

See?

Lots of angry people with aimless anger.

Who is to blame for the article? Xbox fanboys, Microsoft, Forbes? Pick one....and stop looking like chickens with their heads cut off...it shows your poor attempts at damage control.

great console, but... i had this conversation with one of my mates. he got the X and he has played old titles to see the difference, but now, he hasnt turned it on for several days.
if you want power get the X
if you want slightly less power but a broad range of games get the pro.

im on team SwitchPS4, but you have to admit these sony only fans in the comment section are too funny.........I remember on here when Xbox One and ps4 drop, the sony fans would brag about the increase power, the xbox fans would say its all about the games

current day 11/23/17 sony fans say its all about the games now, and xbox fans bragging about their console

both hypocrites, but the force stronger with sony fans, they are saying any and everything to defend the ps4, you look through this comment section you will see some of the greatest comments used to defend the ps4 lol

Microsoft deserve everything for creating that great system, it have everything needed hdmi 2.1, 4k bluray, 6 teraflops and etc........how can you say anything bad about it, this is what I wanted from ps4 pro, anyone who say different just lying to themselves, or should I say cognitive dissonance

this is what all the people in here have who defend the ps4, cognitive dissonance........worse part some of these people forget what they use to say when ps4 had more power than xbox one and how much better it makes games and etc.......and now with xbox one x have more power are they trying to say the extra power cant make games better? or is it ps4 that can make games better??

This is not Forbes. It's just a random schlub who blogs on their contributor network. Forbes doesn't officially cover video games.

No thanks....Sony has waaaayy too many great exclusives available, and coming in the near future, to miss out on. Meanwhile, there is nothing on the xbox one x that the pc doesn't already do better. Now that's truth in advertising.

the hype for xbox one x died pretty quickly....

Microsoft stealth marketing dollars at work... Sneaky sneaky.

Is MS PR day over on N4G? I had a great thanksgiving. Hope everyone had a great holiday.

Had my xbox x for a few days what i find wierd for a software driven company... they cant create a ui thats interesting or user freindly. Ill say one thing its so quiet you dont need to turn up the tv like you do with ps4.

I can think of 150 reasons not to.

Forbes huh? Wonder how much this shill got paid.

But... but... but what about the 99 reasons not to?

I think people forget that not everyone likes the Sony exclusives. I own both systems and have as many exclusives on each. Last of us, Hzd. Forza7, killer instinct, state of decay. But I have and play more 3rd party games and so will play them on the X. Sony at the moment for their exclusives and the X for all others.
I hate bloodhound and persona etc so not a system seller to me.

Read this and bought a PS4 Pro, sorry MS, your "advert" failed to impress me :)

Sure, the XBOX ONE X is an awesome console... When it comes to specs... But those PS4 exclusives make the PS4 a much better investment IMO in the long run when wanting to buy a console.

i can give you 10 without thinking,.. why not to buy it

Why do no 'reasons to own both consoles' stories ever pop up?

Does Forbes get paid for these articles by M$ ? Just seem like propaganda to me.
9 reasons why I never waste 530 € (in no particular order)

1) I lose my entire friend list that I play with.
2) I lose all my PS Plus games since october 2008
3) I lose my VR and 20+ games
4) I lose over 126 games (all digital) that I bought
5) I lose ALL progress and saves in the aforementioned games :(
6) I lose ALOT money buying a slightly better console/all games I want to play /replay that I now own.
7) I lose myself-respect joining the Xbotters that move from "play games not pixels" to "look we have X more pixels than the Pro"
8) I (would) lose my friends respect being the only X-box'er in our friendship circuit
9) I'd lose my ability to remote play my games on my precious Vita ;)

So I rather let M$ lose one thing. A sale to me...

My point is, this is the reality for me and pretty much everyone I know, and I know ALOT of people. So reading all these clickbait articles is actually insulting to all us adults that can make up our own mind what we play and what we play on. PS or Xbox, up to the customer in the end. ;)

i just wonder the reason for us to keep seeing this kind of shit? like lets talk about games no? how about that? and how about this forbes shit thing way is it in n4g? forbes? for real?

Forbes need to stick to whose the richest people in the world LMAO

and i can give you 9 reasons to buy a pc over an xbox and keep a ps4 and pc instread

Nice try, I would stick with my amazing PS4 💙

I don't understand people to be honest the exclusive deal i mean we all know sony has more because well they have been at it longer building up a good line of first party games.
Recore
Quantum Break
Halo Wars 2 (Best RTS on console)
Halo Series and yes i still enjoy the story
Gears
Forza
and more are coming that were announced earlier yes but to say that xbox has none is kinda wrong. Between multi plats, new xbox games, and old games (I love how people downplay this but when i think to myself hey i wish games like dead space series existed these days i can still play them that's a big deal rather than i am bored of all the new action action action games). Obviously people are gong to prefer one console over the other for some reason mine personally is i like the xbox controller better, i like xbox live better and yes i've had PSN before, i want to be able to play some of my old series whenever i want but again this is just me. :D

Why was this approved, admins? Not allowed to put website name in the title of an opinion. Oh... because it's Forbes, I get it.
