I agree that the consoles have problems. I have an X1 and my roommate has a ps4. I also have a pc and a WiiU.
The problems you are having I have not had at all. Most people I know who do have problems with their consoles don't keep good care of them. And I'm not implying you don't, but I've actually only met 2 people who've had X1 issues; 1 of them bought theirs from a pawn shop, and the other smoked copious amounts very near his x1, blowing his smoke pretty much directly into his x1. Everyone I know who cares for their electronics very rarely has any of them break, whether that be cords shorting, contacts breaking, or entire consoles FUBAR.
As far as games go I'm a gamer, it's my hobby and I invest in it. As long as they both have games worth playing, there's no point comparing them because I will play them all. I will say this, exclusivity needs to die. Making people own a PC, WiiU, X1, and a PS4 just to play all the games is fucking ludicrous. But as for my opinion, the X1 has a better stable of games.. not only that but soon I'll be able to stream those games to my PC which is really going to help me out a lot actually. Comparing them both without mentioning Nintendo or the PC platform is silly though. Cause if I could only have one console and my PC, it would be a WiiU hands down. And if I could only have one thing to game on, it'd be a PC hands down.
The controller things can be pretty opinionated, but I would argue the X1 controller is objectively better than the ps4 controller.. simply because of the location of the joysticks. Unless I'm playing fighting games, there's nothing the ds4 does better than the x1. And racing games with a controller are worlds better with an X1 controller because of it's enhanced feedback in the triggers. It is subjective, but I've honestly never actually met someone who preferred dual shock controllers who was any good at video games lol so maybe that's why I feel that way. By and large everyone I know prefers either Gamecube controllers or xbox 360 (now Xbox 1) controllers. Maybe it's because most of the people I know who owned Xboxs also owned Playstations, but not the other way around, and really that came down to Halo and Gears of war which at the time was when I was just becoming a teenager.. we all saw guns with chainsaws and read the halo books so.. didn't have much of a choice :P.
Anyway, you decided to be that guy as you said, so I decided to be that guy back :P I hope you don't this post as offensive.
