Here's what you should buy instead of an Xbox or PlayStation
Don't buy a locked-down console when it's halfway through its life cycle; you have better options.
For the longest time, if you wanted to play console games like those on the Xbox or PlayStation, you had to buy the console that went along with them. Simple logic, but it's changed somewhat in recent years as flagship Xbox exclusives are now on PC and PlayStation, and PlayStation titles are being ported to the PC. Not that every game is getting this treatment, but enough of the big titles to make the thought process over what to buy need a different angle.
