Looking to upgrade my console, tell me what I should get and why
[b]#################################[/b]
Hey everyone, I really appreciate all of the feedback! It was great to hear a lot of real opinions, suggestions, and information about both systems. It was a lot of reading last night / this morning to catch up on everything, but I feel WAY more informed than before.
I made this post to get some information to help me make a good decision on a new console and I think with all of your help it did. Didn't make this to troll/start a huge debate on here, but I guess it comes with the territory on a forum where people are passionate about their gaming systems.
[b]I made a random decision yesterday and pre-ordered the TTK PS4. I have enough store credit from previous trade ins at GameStop to make it affordable. Also will be trading in my 360 for an additional $100 off. So it looks like I will be starting from scratch, but I have enough friends on the PS+ network to make it fun.[/b]
Again, I really appreciate all of the feedback/suggestions/opinions from you guys. It was a great read and I think I learned all I needed to make the right decision for myself.
Also, thanks for all of the congratulations on me becoming a dad. Although I am still about 6 months out from having that new little one in my arms, I couldn't be more excited about it.
Thanks again, guardians.

I've had a Xbox 360 for a few years now and most of my friends either have a Xbox One or a PS4 (it's about a 50/50 split). I recently found out that I am going to be a dad (due late January 2016) and because of this and all of the future late nights that come with that in my future, I got permission from the wife to upgrade, so help me figure out what to get.
Since I am already a Microsoft user, obviously going with the Xbox One seems like the easiest one to upgrade to, but I'm open to suggestions.
For the Xbox, I am already familiar with the Xbox Live stuff and I'm already paying the yearly online fee, no need to cancel service etc.
If I upgrade to the Xbox One, do I need to start over with new characters or would my character carry over?
Is the Xbox One backwards compatible with my current 360 games (Destiny, Halo Series, GTA5) or do I have to buy new games no matter what?
Any other benefits to sticking with Microsoft?
As for the PS4, I don't have too much knowledge about this system. I've heard it's got better graphics, but I've also heard the online servers are unreliable leaving you unable to play often? Is it worth it? What other reasons make it worth switching?

1 ReplyXbox one from a all around standpoint. If you want a new consol just for destiny get a ps4 because it has exclusive content. But here is why i would go with xbox one in a heartbeat. 1.Games with gold i know playstation has something like this but i will tell you whatbi know. On my xbox i get 2 free games a month with 4-6 games 40-60% off. You also earn credit twards money when you hook up your account to bing rewards so i get $5 a month. 2. Exclusive content. in MY OPINION playstation has no games i want. If you like their exclusives great all the power to you. I would rather play halo and all the great exclusives that come with it. 3. Backwards compatability This is something only xbox will have as of now. This means you can play all your old 360 games on it but thats not all. You can actually play with your friend who is playing on a 360 too. This is a HUGE factor in my opinion. 4.Price the xbox one is currently being sold for $350 with a game and a free live trial included. Microsoft i currently doing a trade in deal with many stores. For instance i traded in my 360 (this works for a ps3 too) and got $175 for it. So i basicly got a xbox one for $175 and it will be able to play 360 games.
