Graphic fidelity vs Portability


I run into this problem too often.

PS4 if all things are equal. Obviously if one version has more than the other I'll go with that one.

Switch since it's the one I have at all times (my brother lets me borrow his PS4 if there's a game I wanna play but now that he lives 4 hours away it's harder to arrange that).

Steam
I like that Switch is portable but I still don't like the controls in portable mode. Or even the Pro if I need a good d-pad. Then again it's good for touch screen games like the Rayark rhythm games.

Entirely depends on the game. Anything that's clearly better on PS4 for reasons such as Doom or Witcher 3 the PS4 version and I dont think twice about it. Games where a decent sized TV really helps.

Something that's a platformer or 2D I tend to get on the Switch these days. My Switch Lite is by far the system I use the most. Things like Celeste, Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight.

DQXI was a unique example where the 2D mode alone made the switch version the superior choice for me anyways.

Always Switch, and in general I won't buy PS4 games right away in hopes of a Switch port coming later.

Switch. I always end up using the portability way more than I think I will.

I don't have a PS4 but if I did I would get it for the PS4....as long as we are talking about a game with strong graphics and not some indie shit

Depends on the game, but typically the only thing pulling me to PS4 is trophies

PS4 for the superior controller. Trophies can be nice too, depending on the game.

Really, though, the most important decision driver is that I hardly ever use the Switch in portable mode to begin with, so its big selling point doesn't matter to me.

PS4 because of performance. If the Switch version is equal in that category then I'd choose that.

Usually end up buying both versions of games I like though.

A lot of factors involved.

Is there multiplayer? If so, is it something my older sister would play? She only has a switch and an xbox one, so I'd get the Switch version probably.

How's the performance? DQB2 performs better on PS4, so I got it for PS4. But if performance is equal, then I get it for Switch.

Usually the PS4 because of storage. I've got a lot more space on my PS4 hard drive than my Switch memory card.

Switch for portability. The only PS4 games I play are exclusives or non-Switch games.

Switch and PS4 are both only for their respective exclusive games. Everything else goes on PC. I suppose for the rare cases where it really is just between these two platforms though I'd go with PS4.

Yeah PS4.

I see Nintendo as just a Nintendo game machine. Multiplats go to other consoles.
