THIS Made Me Finally Switch to Playstation | Nostalgia Nerd

Firstly... the "Switch" in the title isn't a Nintendo reference, no matter how much I wanted it to be. No, I'm afraid this is firmly about Xbox vs PS4, Xbox vs. Playstation... it's a battle of the ages. I've owned an Xbox since they first appeared. For me, the original Xbox arrived at the right time; a time when I was looking for a casual gaming platform. From there, I've stuck with them for my "current generation" needs. But recently, something has been upsetting me (likely just my lack of tolerance, or sheer stupidity), and I wanted to see if the competition had the same issue. This video is therefore about my life as an Xbox Fanboy (apologies for that phrase), and how I've seen a new light, a light that resembles a floating P in the sky.... Sony Playstation.

For those who can't be arsed with all the click bait titles, it's about the Xbox Dashboard evolution, or devolution in my eyes. Has the Xbox dashboard devolved?

I'll be honest. I don't do "fanboy" business or console rivalry... that just seems absurd. They all have their merits.
For me, it's just nice to be able to finally accept Playstation into my life.

7:29 - I don't use Xbox but I think what you describe may be another instance of what I see as a growing trend in user interfaces:
Basically, they don't serve *us* any more, they exist to promote content.
So the things you use most (games you own, Youtube channels you've subscribed to, Netflix or Amazon shows you actually watch, etc.) get sidelined in favor of the things they want to promote.
I hate it.

Reason I go with PS these days are the console exclusives. They're growing a mighty fine games library.

What's wrong with a pc, switch and ps4 combo?






Nothing

The search function in the PlayStation Store has just been improved.

[Ben-Rogue]

Just an FYI. You can manage downloads from the "Notifications" menu... It's a dumb place to put it, but Sony isn't perfect. As for Microsoft, they lost their damn minds with Windows 8 and have been bouncing of their padded cell walls ever since

0:14 You know she knows nothing about games when you see her do this..

I personally think the blades design on the Xbox 360 was the easiest and best design.

I usually stick with Nintendo, but I do own a PS3 and it's a phenomenal system!

You know what got me into PlayStation originally? The price...yup, that's it. I wanted one of the next gen systems (at the time it was PS1 and Saturn)..PlayStation was $299 and Saturn was $399....$100 price difference meant a game and second controller...so I went with the PlayStation, controller and Battle Arena Toshinden. I had been a fan of fighting games all my life, it was a great two player experience and it didn't need a memory card. Perfect 1st game purchase...granted, there wasn't really all that much to choose from at launch....

To prioritize a download pause the ones you don't wanna prioritize

[feamatar]

i started on x360, long after the blades were gone, but tbh the blades were the best user interface they had. i switched to ps4 because of the exclusives. i have dreamcast, ps2 fat, x360 slim, ps4 slim, all wonderful machines.

Remember when you could listen to your music and play at the same time 😢 when it updates it deleted 200 music files

My first console was the PS2, loved it. But something happened to it and I only had the DS. Later got the 360 in 2010 (it was for my brother birthday, but I played on it the most), then I got a Xbox one for Christmas (2015 Christmas), through 2 years of having it, I lost my feeling of exciting. No exclusive, boring interface, and holy shit was download speed really slow and I wanted to switch to ps4 so I could play the PlayStation exclusive. So my brother (same one who got a Xbox 360 for his birthday) bought me a ps4 pro for Christmas and I was really happy. Loved it and play on it most of the time, great to have a PlayStation console again.

[EmanuelFrias]

I feel the XMB was and is a truly balanced interface.

[GTArajgaming]

Playstation never really changes its interface, the insane library of games, the design choices for the system and everything about it are good ( FYI you can plug your 3.5mm headphones into the controller to re-route sound....and it's gorgeous!)

I do have an xbox original and a 360 but the 360 is....loud and very slow now ( xbox original isn't and only has a jammed DVD drive that needs a tap to open), it was nice at first but as the updates went on and the system slowed....I already have loading screens to wade through...I don't need more.

[MeerkatChris]

I've had an Xbox One for a few months now, switching between that and the PS4, and I STILL cannot wrap my head around it's menus... I'm 99% sure there are still a ton of menus left unexplored to me!

I'm definitely with you in reminiscing on the 360's easier design choices 😆

Each gen has it's winners. PS2, X360, now PS4.
