Agreed. I've had fun with plug-n-play units I picked up for a quarter at a yard sale. The a1up units are far from perfect but they are cute and play the games we all know and love.
In regards to the xbox...Really, because I feel that the PS4 interface is the inferior one.... it's like "my first gui" no personality at all. In addition, you can arrange all the games and apps on the unit for quick launch like you can in win 10... I prefer that over what Sony did. The graphics on both are about the same, but yes, Spiderman looks (and plays) particularly amazing. Too bad about the gamepad. At least Sony has improved this version of enough to where I don't have permeant gaming claw after extended play.
Also with the purchase of a psvr I am officially "that guy". You know, the one that buys all three systems for a generation, plus all the weird add-ons for said systems... can't say it isn't worth the effort considering any time there is a sale on anything it doesn't matter if it's platform specific, I'll be able to play it.
