Which console to buy with which games?

My friend is coming soon and I want to buy him an XBOX and wine PS4.

He already owns a Nintendo Switch, but I thought he was looking forward to new consoles where he could play games that were not available on the switch.

Unfortunately, I do not know myself so well. I do not know if I should buy him an XBOX One S or XBOX One X and in the PS4 Pro I do not know which model to choose.

It would also be nice if someone could help me with the games. I definitely wanted to buy him Assassin's Creed, Forza (?), Battefield, GTA etc. But I do not know what game to get for which console. I know Halo is "only" available for the XBOX, but much of the game is available for both consoles.

So if you want to give him a console or even 2 Dan the ps 4 pro and the Xbox one x are the most up to date and do not do anything wrong. As far as the games are concerned, you have to ask your buddy what he likes best

Buying both is a waste of money. PS4 Pro has the better games, XBox One X the higher performance. But it depends on the individual taste, which you prefer.

In the consoles, I would take the latest. That would be the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro. But I doubt if it is worthwhile now to buy a PS, because soon the PS5 appears. But it still takes. Why do not you buy him the birthday Xbox and later just the PS5? Because of the games you have to give us more detailed information. Of course we could recommend something to you, but in my opinion makes no sense. In the end, it must affect his taste, or not?

So it is not a "buddy", but my friend, with whom I have been together for over 3 years! I can ask him bad questions, because he always (unfortunately) see through me and it should be a surprise.

Sure, there are enough games. If you've never gambled playstation, there's plenty to do and a lot of choice. Who knows how many games will be available on the release of ps5? Maybe not so much.

How long does it take until the PS5 comes out, you do not know that, right?

I think your suggestion is very good! Concerning the Games: He totally likes any kind of car race, Dragonball (he still talks about Dragonball Z Tenkaichi 3, what he used to play on his PLayStation), he also likes ego shooter games, he once mentioned a game which (think I) God of war was called and hmm FIFA he does not like.

P.S. Your profile picture is mega!

The ps5 probably comes in 2020 is not yet a fixed date. Apparently, money does not matter to you. But I personally would advise you to order the titles you have in mind maybe on rebuy. There they are used, tested and quite cheap, if the games are not for him, then it does not hurt as if you buy each game for 30 euro up again. And as I said I would really buy only one of the two consoles. The difference to the playstation and xbox is nothing as long as the difference to the switch

Thank you very much first! Dragonball I can recommend to him Xenoverse 2 and Fighterz. Also with Xenoverse comes a new story, which then begins with Xenoverse 3. Otherwise, I can recommend Need for Speed. Black Ops 4 is also a lot of fun, but it's a matter of taste. The PS5 is most likely this year, nobody knows that exactly. I recommend you not to buy the PS4 Pro, because it would be a shame for you if a short time later a new PS console is there. I also think that he will get along well in time with the Xbox One X and he has a switch, too. I would recommend you to wait.

Not only will the ps5 be released in the next few years, the new Xbox has been announced for sometime around Christmas 2020.

If I may give you some advice (ie the questioner)

Get him the Ps4 Pro, as you said, God of War.

Since he is busy first.

In addition, I would sometimes ask his buddies if they may know what he would prefer.

Since he had schonmal Playstation I go out times that ne Xbox is nothing for him.
