![]() ![]() But now since around Black Friday, Microsoft has come out with bundles for games like Sunset Overdrive, Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Assassin's Creed Unity for $350, which, if you were planning on buying the packaged game anyway, means the effective price of the console is about $290-300. Most famously, the Xbox One extracted itself from the Kinect, which allowed it to cut $100 off the price immediately, and ahead of the holiday, both systems were selling for $400. The Xbox One is now desperate to catch up with Sony, which has come with deep discounts to the console. Add in the compounding factor of Sony struggling in nearly every other aspect of its business, and PS4 isn't going to see a major price cut for quite a while. Sony, because the PS4 has sold outrageously well, has kept the price relatively high, $400 for its holiday bundles which include a game like GTA 5 or The Last of Us Remastered. What does this have to do with current price? Well, the tables have turned somewhat since a year ago. And now, the two systems have become more similar in ever both in price and functionality, which is why this decision is probably harder than it's ever been, and the reason this question is posed to me so often. Xbox One has been a battle two years running now, and though many articles like this one have been written in the past, the systems are constantly evolving, so the matchup isn't the same as it was say, last Christmas right after both consoles had just come out. No matter what the Wii U offers, its biggest downfall is that it lacks the capability to play so many of these huge third party titles. If you wanted to play Dragon Age, Far Cry, Shadow of Mordor, Wolfenstein, Destiny, Call of Duty, Madden or Assassin's Creed this year, you either have to own a PlayStation or Xbox. If you use it as your primary system only, you will miss out on 90% of major third party releases every year (plus Sony or Microsoft exclusives, obviously). With that said, I think in the grand scheme of gaming, the Wii U is still best as supplemental system to either PS4 or Xbox One. ![]()
