I think the choice between xbox and playstation is difficult for someone who has never been a gamer. I have had every ps console except the 5 because I'm skint. Myself and hubby both love the PlayStation. My 2 teens love their xboxes. Honestly we have a stupid amount of consoles in this house. I have tried the xbox but it just doesn't grab me the way the playstation does. I suppose if I cared more about the graphics and all that technical stuff it might be a different situation.
