    Last time I reorganized my TV stand, I never got around to plugging the switch in. It's sitting there, but not connected to anything. I never told my wife, so I'm waiting to see how long it will be before she notices. It's about 2 months so far.

    She played it a ton at first, completing BotW. But it's pretty much just that, a BotW machine. I play mostly sports games, so I just mostly stick my XB1X. Will probably play some of The Show sooner or later, but Madden and Live will probably interrupt that. My wife went from BotW to beating HZD on the PS4 and then Assassin's Creed: Origins on the XB1X.

    Right now, I would sell both my PS4 and Switch. I don't think either are used enough to be worth it. And my wife just discovered the XB1 Gamepass, and is now find stuff to play there. I'm sure the new Tomb Raider will catch her when it comes out.

    I'm looking forward to being a one console home again, to be honest. I hate the look of multiple consoles in a front room. I love everything about the XB1X, and I have way more to play on it than I have time. We only had Nintendo consoles for Zelda, basically. We bought the Gamecube for Wind Waker, and my daughter is a massive Zelda fan. But she no longer lives at home and will be graduating college next May. She can buy whatever console she wants.

    I finally bought a PS4 so I could play The Show, and I can't say I've spent enough time with it to say it has been worth the money. I don't care for the dashboard, I hate the controller, and its big set piece games would be better TV shows or films than games, in my opinion. I've already spent more time with Madden 19 than I think I spent on all of the last two versions of The Show.

    The only upcoming PS4 game I am considering is Spiderman, and I have a bad, bad feeling about how it will turn out. It seems like a cheap and lesser version of the Arkham games. It looks like a better idea than what they actually produced. Might be a total blast, too. We'll see.

    But seriously, between every other sports game being equal or better, XBL being far more reliable and robust, exclusives like Halo, Forza, and Gears that I do love, the XB1X is really all I need. But for now, my wife enjoyed her time with HZD so much that she wants to pay another PS4 exclusive, but is kind of bouncing off Uncharted 4.

    But Gamepass? I came home the other day to her playing Viva Piñata again. Seriously, it's a fantastic addition. So many great old games, and so many current games make it one of the best instant library features I've ever seen in gaming.

      Today I took advantage of the first month of Game Pass for $3.00 deal when I signed up for the trial. On September 23rd I’ll decide whether to keep it or not.

      You mentioned not caring for the PS4 dashboard. I’d give PS4 the advantage there. Unless I’m missing something, it takes too many clicks to get to my games so that I can fire one up on the Xbox.

        I love game pass. I think it's a great value. I got the $60 for a year deal a month or two ago.

            I’ll definitely be checking it out. But right now, my first game of M19 [emoji16]

                Re: Xbox One

                As someone who owns PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and Switch, I can't see myself trading in/selling any of them until 2020 when the next Xbox and PlayStation get released.

                I'm currently playing Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition on Xbox One X and while there's no exclusives that I care about until 2019 for Xbox One X, still owning it for Game Pass and Backwards Compatibility has been great. In the last three months, I have been able to complete Dead Rising 3, Metro 2033 Redux, The Darkness 2, Rage, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Gears UE, Gears 2 and Gears 3. Darksiders 2 will be the ninth game between GP and BC.

                Then next summer (since it's always dead for new games), I'll subscribe to EA Access for a month to play Dante's Inferno and tryout Dead Space 1 and 2. Hoping Star Wars BF 2 goes on it by then so I can play all of these games for a $5 rental. LOL.

                Obviously, everyone does what they want with their own stuff but knowing myself, if I was to trade in/sell one of the consoles, it would just be a matter of time before I want to buy it again so im better off just riding the generation out and then trade in the consoles when next gen hits.

                  Yea I’m with you on this. I own all 3 now for various reasons as they all bring something different to the table. I’ve done what you talk about where I traded in my Pro before to get a switch, then not long after that Show itch as well as some other games was itching hard and re bought it again. I have all 3 systems and they are all great in their own right, only way I see trading in now is from current system to offset costs on an upgrade

                    Yeah, when there's an upgrade, I'll trade in the old console. Traded in PS4 for PS4 Pro. Sold Xbox One Slim for Xbox One X. Bought a Switch outright as I skipped Wii and Wii U. All three have their positives and negatives. For me, it all comes down to the games and I know that every console will have games that I will want to play on it so im better off just keeping all three.

                    I see GameStop giving $300 credit for PS4 Pro towards an Xbox One X despite it being almost two years old. Depending on the retail price for PS4 Pro/Xbox One X/Switch in two years from now, GameStop will most likely offer some good trade in value towards the next gen consoles.

                    Even though the next consoles are two years or so away, im already preparing for them as I don't want to do what I did in 2013 where I didn't have the money and had to wait until June 2014 and November 2015 for PS4/Xbox One respectively. My plan now that Best Buy GCU is done and my membership expires in two weeks, the games that I have pre-ordered for the rest of 2018, I'll trade in to GameStop and let the store credit add up.

                    A friend/co-worker has GCU until next September and is going to let me use it since he doesn't buy many games for my 2019 purchases starting with REmake2. I'm going to trade in every game to GameStop and by the time I get to 2020, at $20 credit for each game, I'll have over $500 as im expecting at least 20 games for 2019 that im buying. If I can get $30 credit for each game, I'll have $780. Add in PS4 Pro/Xbox One X and possibly Switch and I'll have probably $1200 if not more. Want to be ready day one instead of making the same mistake when PS4/Xbox One launched.

                    Just thinking about it all has me hyped and excited because the next two years are going to fly by and I want to be 100% ready. LOL.

                      I’m trying not to get into the habit again of buying every new game but, that “We Happy Few” looks weirdly cool.

                        Well thanks for all the input, I've decided to sell my switch since I only paid $254 for it and can get $250 for it, I have no games on it either and it collects dust.

                        I'll keep the PS4 and just pay the difference for the One X, get a free game and pick up Madden too, great deal imo.

                          That’s great! Did they include madden free with the purchase of the X or any new game?
