This gen is really a shake up for me. I did not even get an Xbone last gen. I kept putting if off until it got to the point where waiting for the Series X/S was the best option. It's going to be BC with the Xbone titles so why get one now is what always ran across my mind? I plan to get both the PS4/Series X, but I'm going with the series x first. Gamepass and the backlog of 360/Xbone games are good enough for me. Not to mention the ecosystem Xbox has going with PC is really nice and appreciated. Heck I'd get alone for the fact I can play Panzer Dragoon Orta in such high fidelity.
Playstation used to be the go to platform for a lot of the more niche Japanese titles for me and many others as well. Now that seems to be changing with Sony's new policies. A lot of those devs are pushing to PC/Switch. Was reading an article earlier on how Uppers' localization was canceled for the PS4 and was going to be exclusive to Steam for NA/EU territories. A lot of the buzz is tied to Sony's new policies, but the devs never out right said anything in regards to it. SEGA is giving Xbox a lot support as well so we may even see other Japanese devs give it more of a chance this gen. On top of that MS has acquired some great studios to look forward to as well, assuming they do end up utilizing them.
Ultimately as a gamer I like having options so I will be getting both consoles at some point. Just a stark contrast from last gen for my opinions to say the least.
