So I figured "why not" since I had wanted a Switch since it was announced, and I only paid $200 for the PS4 slim on Black Friday 2016. So it ended up being a series of random circumstances that led to the move.

    My main reason for wanting the PS4 was the Show and Gran Turismo, but the last few months I've just had more fun with XB's arcadey exclusives. (Also, I played the GT Sport beta and was underwhelmed...I played TONS of GT5 and GT6.) The Switch trade in deal gets you $150 for the XB1 as well, so it came down to Forza vs. the Show and since I've played the Show for 10 years, I chose the change of pace.

    Hopefully The Show (and Gran Turismo for that matter) on PS5 will be groundbreaking.
    I don't understand selling and buying systems just based upon certain games. Don't you think another PS4 game will come along down the road and you'll just want that and feel like you need to get a PS4 again?

    Just buy both systems and be done with it is how I feel. But to each their own of course.

      At this point I play the Switch 90% of my gaming. Graphics just don't do it all for me anymore.

          It's Rapid Packed Math (RPM), yea I heard of it. The question is if devs are going to take advantage of it. Good news is it seems so. Wolfenstien 2 (MachineGames) and Far Cry 5 (Ubisoft) will be coding it. It'll improve the PS4 but won't be superior to the Xone.

          It is a PS4 Pro only feature.

                I mainly love sports and racing games, and most of the PS4 top games on the horizon are more "serious" single player action/adventure games. It might do me some good to skip the Show for awhile, and GT Sport is going in a direction that just doesn't excite me. I grew to really enjoy Driveclub, but I've had my fill of it...wish there had been a sequel.

                Sure, I'd love to keep the PS4 just to see what happens between now and the PS5, but 3 systems won't fly in my house, if you know what I mean.

                  If anyone gets a PS4 5.0 beta code "for a friend" can you send it my way? I can't get emails from Sony even though I know I'm in the beta, so I can't ever get my codes

                    XCOM 2 pretty good? Never played those.

                    So I buy the humblebundle and get a download code for the game?

                      For 3 more bucks you can get XCOM 2 from PSN until 8/22. You get more than just XCOM for that 20 bucks right?

                        Although Sony isn't scheduled to be at Gamescom, they do have a number of playing booths that will be available with possible news and unnamed 2017 releases. We still should be getting more hands on previews from many of the gaming sites.

                        The following are game confirmations that will be there next week.

                          I heard a little bit about this but I am not really sure what it means and how can something be more powerful with just a update and not new hardware? Can any one explain this whole thing to me?

                              Hardware is always only as powerful as the software written for it. As programmers find new ways to program the software they can get more out of the hardware. It's why a game programmed for the PS2 at launch looks like crap compared to a game programmed for the PS2 several years later.
