Why You Need to Buy a PS4 Right Now

By Andreas Fanos on May 22, 2018

You’re done with school now and are planning to have fun over the summer. There is no secret that there is a growing disparity of kids going out and playing, instead opting to stay indoors. This trend has certainly been caused by the advancement of technology in the decade. Everyone knows that the growing debate is between PlayStation and Xbox. It is, in today’s time between the two biggest consoles-Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4. I am here to tell you, especially college students that you need to purchase a PS4 over an Xbox or Nintendo Switch, and I will tell you why.

College consists of a lot of work, depending on your schedule, the number of credits you are taking, and if you have a job on campus or off. There can be some free time on the weekend so students can relax, but between homework, and work it can be stressful still. Playing video games is a terrific way to destress and all while having some fun. There are plenty of reasons why you should buy a PlayStation 4 right now.

One of the hottest games out, well known PlayStation exclusive “God of War,” got a change with Norse mythology as Kratos returns and this time with a son. He embarks on a journey to take his wife’s ashes to the highest mountain in all of the land, but things turn south along the way. According to an article by Forbes, the game has sold 3.1 million copies in just 3 days and is the fastest selling exclusive ever. It states, “That makes it the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive this generation, besting the likes of Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, and The Last of Us.” “The Last of Us” is one of my favorite games of all-time. The change in the narrative, world, and gameplay has not hurt its sales. If you are a fan of Kratos or of the series and are hoping to dive in, you should buy this game and more importantly, buy a PS4. The game is different where playing the prior games won’t matter much.

Another reason to buy the PS4 is the other great exclusives that will arrive on the system such as “Spider-Man,” “Days Gone,” and “Detroit: Become Human.” These are just a handful of the biggest exclusives to arrive in due time. PlayStation’s exclusives outdo the Xbox’s by a mile and with many more selections. It doesn’t hurt that PlayStation has the better graphics compared to its rival in the Xbox One, the games are gorgeous and run terrific.

Sony has also made big strides in the VR department and Microsoft has not made any with the Xbox One. VR is the next big element of gaming and PlayStation is taking huge advantage of it with plenty of games and the headset. These are some of the reasons why you need to buy a PS4 and ditch the Xbox One.
