Now that most people know that in about half a year the successors will come from both console companies and are also downward compatible, who is so stupid and is still buying the current consoles? I mean the console manufacturers and electrical goods sellers should go down with the prices and sell the current consoles for less than 100 euro or so. What do you think about that? Would you still buy the Ps4 Pro or Xbox One X if you don't have any of the current consoles?
So I would generally not buy a console except the Xbox Series X and the one X simply because of the design of the ps5 you don't know yet and the 4 pro is very loud and (in my opinion) very ugly
They are not sold at the same price as at Release.
The PS4 Pro initially cost, for example, 400 euro, now it is sold for "only" 350.
If you look at the price development, you will also see that the price is still not as high, but again.
Until mid-March the PS4 was sold for 240-290 euro.
Then the Corona crisis came.
As a result of the crisis, a large number of people had to stay at home or were unable to pursue their hobbies, a large number of them actually bought a game console.
Due to this sudden demand, prices have risen so extremely again.
This does not only affect the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, but all consoles, including the older versions.
And the fact that a new console is coming out at the end of the year does not help the people who are now stuck at home and bored.
On Idealo you can always see the price development of the consoles well.
Here for example for the PS4 Pro:

Another influence is always exclusive titles.
These always convince players to buy a console.
The first part of the Final Fantasy VII remake came out in April.
This will be available for the Playstation alone for one year.
So if you don't want to wait until the end of the year, you have to buy a Playstation 4 (Pro) to play the remake.
The PS4 is barely audible, I had completely different experiences with Xbox.
And design, well, it's a matter of opinion, but for me performance is far more important. I finally look at the screen when I play and not at the console.
You can't really compare the two because both have strengths.
I already have 2x PS4 and I only paid around 60 euro for each…
Reason: they were sold defective - the HDMI socket was defective…
So I bought a cheap hot air station and fixed both of them…
So now I have 2 working for a total of 120 euro and a 50 euro hot air station, with which I can repair more.
If you can, you can save significantly.
of course I would never buy something new, I don't use consoles enough for that - I'm PC Zokker
But Xbox is Dan in front of me just because of the design.
There are always very cheap promotions, such as PS4 by (significantly) under 200, PS4 Pro under 300 and also X1X under 300. Lately felt less, guess, the demand has just increased significantly in Corona times.
The prices can't go arbitrarily low, after all, it is hardware that is already sold very cheap if you look at the entire package. I my powerful APU + BluRay drive + controller for 100 euro would be unrealistic.
As far as the volume of the last Triple-A titles is concerned, the PS4 is referred to as the airport… Let's hope this improves
Well, I can only speak from my own experience.
Fortunately, everyone can do as he wants, because others have nothing to talk into.
And I think no matter whether Xbox, PS4 or Switch, you can be happy with any console.
