The fact that they bought XBone's to play Destiny is laughable when PS4 is getting DLC exclusive almost a YEAR a head of time. That means content that came in the last expansion isn't available on XBone until December 2015. I might have the exclusivity time off but I know it's 6 months to a year minimum. Don't bother downgrading to XBone for your friends. Unless that's the sole reason you play games.
The Xbox is a great console. if you don't have to spend a lot of money and you can simply exchange then why not? Do you have tons of games of ps4 which will become useless to you? If the cost of switching is low, I would do it. It's not going to be just destiny. Any game in the future you want to play with your friends, you won't be able too.
By the way forza is a fret game, you don't need grand tourismo!
why is everyone saying that the OP will be downgrading if he switched. The two consoles are almost identical.

Because the PS4 actually is more powerful than the XBone, historically PS has the better exclusive titles, they had higher rated titles in 2014 than the XBone by a wide margin, and since the OP is talking Destiny PS has DLC exclusives that lock out Xbox users for up to a year compared to their PS counterparts.
AC:Unity was literally gimped on PS4 so that there was parity between the two systems. Ubisoft's denial of the fact is silly considering they had no problem stating it with AC: Black Flag. The PR statement appears purely there to reduce any negative feedback they might have received from the makers of the gimped system.
I bought an Xbox One over the holidays, no regrets at all. Great system, superior controller, really cool apps/media/TV integration. First time in years I've enjoyed console gaming this much.
I have both. Almost never turn on the PS4. They are both excellent systems but I just prefer the Xbox One. No matter what anyone tells you it is what "you" like and prefer. As for exclusives, it sounds like Sony may have shot themselves in the foot on some exclusives being they sold SOE. If they did not have an exclusivity agreement in place I really expect the new company to port of PS2, everquest next, and any other previous SOE game they think they can make money on. The xbox one seems to be growing in value to me and PS4 still doesn't have hardly any exclusives I want to play that have been released. There are some coming but none released....
Said the guy who told you to sell the PS4. PS4 is better in every way!

I own both consoles and honestly they both feel exactly the same. I know performance wise the ps4 holds up a bit better but honestly there are certain aspects of both consoles that are good and bad. I really like the achievement systems on the xbox one a bit better and I like the UI of the ps4 a bit better. If you really want to play it with your friends then yes I would recommend going and getting an xbox one, you won't really notice much of a difference other than people you know to play with.
Buy a Good PC and forget the console, play a game the way its ment to be played in 4k
Why? Each platform has a purpose and a target audience. A good PC is mor powerful, but its not the god of gaming.
And 4k is still irrelevant today.
First off, PC is the god of gaming. You simply cannot run the same stuff on a console as you can a PC. The speed, graphics, loading times, all better. All. PC gaming is also cheaper. Well, in North America. Steam sales further the savings vastly. Playing games in 60fps is fantastic, 30fps with higher graphics than console is amazing. Fuck, compare GTA V on Xbox One or PS4 vs PC. And thats without even taking mods into account. And that s just one game comparison. Now do it with The Witcher. And the gap is only going to continue to grow.
And 4k is just as irrelevant today as 860x640 once was, just as much as 1280x760 once was, just as much as 1600x900 once was, and just as much as 1920 x 1080 once was. See the pattern?
ps; I have ALL nintendo consoles, ALL xbox ones, 2 playstations, every single kind of gameboy, genesis and gamegear, vita, and more. I fucking love consoles. But I am not going to fucking lie and say that a PC isn't the god of gaming when it damn well is.
This is how stupid console developers are. They are creating a stupid problem that should not exist for gamers, but only becuase they are fighting for market share it becomes a problem.
The real loser if video games where simply adaptable to any console, and without restriction from the publisher/developer of the game on which console to be played on, then the loser would be the weaker console, which is the xbox.
PC gamers would never have this problem if one pc gamer had an outdated pc vs a super computer playing the same game.
One less problem for the master race.

It's odd I thought he asked if he should trade his PS4 for an Xone.....not if the PC was the God of gaming. Did I miss something.....
To the OP hold on to your PS4 and save up for an Xone. They are both great platforms and both have or will have exclusives worth owning them for.

Hahah I did get off on a tangent. But it wasn't me that originally went off topic.
Anyway, I am with this guy. Save up and get it. Trading in stuff sucks. You get ripped off in the long run, and getting both will give you access to some of the exclusives. Besides, how hardcore are they into Destiny too? Watch you switch, lose a bunch of cash, and then they quit a month later lol
I would like to point out its the Sony ponies who still are trying to justify their purchase of the PS4. Nobody cares what console you bought, they are almost identical in every way when you are 15 feet away playing a video game.
Now if you play your games 2 feet away side by side next to an xb1 and freeze the frames and take out a microscope you may be able to see a difference. You Sony Ponies really need to give it a rest.
As for the guy above who doesn't know how to use google stating Sony is more profitable then Microsoft I'll just put these here....
On mmo types it is easy to make friends. I think your friends are being silly, dont follow them. Mine are the opposite, every single of my friends bought PS4 and I`m on XO. If they made their mind up that fast and easy, It doesnt mean they wont do it again. So yeah, I wouldnt change my console because of my friends are playing on different platform.
I think consoles are what kind of exclusive games you like. I never liked GT series and been using Xbox since 2006, so yeah I`ll stick with my favs.
