@keenborder Still haven't answered my question lol.

 

Why do you need a new Console? Why not a PC?

[keenborder]

I think you should just get a PC. Steam has more games than all the consoles combined. Sure, some of them aren't very good games, but not all console games are great either. I find it ironic that you have a Steam profile picture

[TheBestUserName]

It's hilarious to me that some idiots don't seem to understand the vocabulary they're using.  "Just get a PC."  The OP *has* a PC.  A "PC" is a personal computer, and he already stated he has a laptop. 

 

If you people that don't know your computer terminology really mean a DESKTOP, then you should say so.  

 

But even still... he doesn't want another computer.  He wants a console and that's why he came to the console sub-forum.  All you idiots saying he should GET A PC should bugger off.  Scamper back to your "PC Gaming" sub-forum if you can't give any REAL advise and want to be a fanboy instead. 

 

Grow up.  Stop being idiots and help the OP make a decision.  

 

OP, have you looked at any lists of exclusive games for each of the three systems?  They're all compelling.  I might suggest taking a look at what Nintendo has to offer.

Nothing Sony showed this year impressed me too much.  Their cool stuff appears a few years out right now, and Microsoft is too busying providing us with the best looking pixels ever.  Personally my eyes are set on the Nintendo NX.  Apparently new Zelda blew some pants off, and major devs/publishers are showing interest in it. 

 

Otherwise, as others have said.  Go for the console with exclusives that interest you the most.  Only mistake is to ignore your own interests.

Finally I have decided to check the exclusives from all the three companies and the company with best exclusives(which meets my interests) would be chosen for my next gen console.

I tend to only purchase or upgrade consoles because of exclusives, the Zelda's and the Last of Us's of this world mean i will never be a 100% PC gamer

Should I buy a ps4 or xbox one or xbox one S in 2017. I am on a budget so scorpio is not in my list.

For a start can I say that the people posting parts lists are being dicks. Clearly that's not what you asked and you said it yourself you have a "gaming laptop". So I'm going to assume that you're happy with that and just want a gaming box that's a bit more TV friendly. Mostly for the exclusives and just the general convenience. Which is fair enough. So I'll lay the options out here for you:

 

XBOne S:

Advantages: Cross-buy and Cross-play with PC

Disadvantages: Not as many exclusives as the alternatives

 

Project Scorpio:

Advantages: Higher performance + everything the XBOne does

Disadvantages: Cost, extra power is useless if you don't have a 4K set, VR Support

 

PS4 Original:

Advantages: Plenty of exclusive content, VR support

Disadvantages: No 4K support at all, not even for media streaming

 

PS4 Neo:

Advantages: Same as PS4 but with better VR and 4K media support

Disadvantages: Rumoured specs are nowhere near the Scorpio

 

Wii U:

Advantages: Lots of exclusive content including Zelda, cheap, off-TV play

Disadvantages: No third party support, Low specs, no media playback and is being phased out

 

Nintendo NX:

We know Zelda is coming to it and we know it'll be more capable than the Wii U. But that's about all we know.

 

Steam Link (or any small machine that can run Steam):
Advantages: Very cheap, gives you access to all your PC games

Disadvantages: Is limited by your network setup and how good your PC is

This is the best approach. Pick whichever platform focuses on your areas of interest and has the games you will most enjoy. For example, I bought the Xbox One simply b/c I love to play Halo.

Why don't you come back in 2017 and ask. Right now this is flame bait and a waste of time.

why not xbox one

Better to just bring up the real reason why no one suggested the xbox one. There are no exclusives, thus you might as well get pc and upgrade it as you wish.

 

If you liked any of the exclusives on ps4, then that is another option. Getting an xbone just don't seem as sensible after all things are considered. As for power, both microsoft and sony are creating 4k ready versions, so that is also a moot point. When you add that into the equations, you are still only paying more money for a shinier xbox with games that can all be played on pc.

Why are people not mentioning the Nintendo NX?

-Nintendo hardware hasn't been relevant for several generations, 

 

-The Nx Is an unknown value, it might still be some handheld hybrid at this point

 

-we don't know if Nintendo will leave it out to dry for the first two years like Wii u

 

There are more than enough reasons for me to be weary of the next Nintendo

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't serious in any of my posts here
