I'm thinking of buying a console, but I can't choose between a PS4 and a Switch. I've been tempted to buy a PS4 because of the exclusives, but the Switch for me seems cheaper by a slim margin and also has a good library of exclusives. Both even have JRPG shit I might be enticed to buy someday.
Should I wait for an updated Switch with better hardware, or maybe even the PS5 or simply flip a coin for it?
I bought a PS4 recently, probably 6 months ago, and I haven't regretted it. Look at what kinda games you want though. There's a lot of action/RPG's/Puzzle type stuff on PS4.

both have good shit. for jrpg games don’t bother with a PS4, rarely any good exclusives I would actually suggest you to buy a ps3 and cfw that shit and get a switch for the same price of a ps4

Assuming you already play on PC, don't get a PS4. Get a Switch. PS4 only has like two worthwhile exclusives (Bloodborne and Gravity Rush 2). Even if you don't already play on PC, still don't get a PS4. Just build a mid-range PC if you're too poor to build a high end one.

I'm also interested in playing the old games I missed out on the PS3 and 2, like the God of War series. I know buying an Xbox is pretty redundant at this point (and I've seen its performance at my neighbor's).

i'd just get both at different times. just pick one up that has games you want to play now, and the other when you're able to afford it again, which might possibly have better hardware if you're really that strapped for cash and can only pick one, i'd lean ps4 mainly due to me being a p5fag, but it's really up to what kind of games you'd play more of on what console.

So I've noticed. I'm leaning towards the amount of single player games PS4 has. Switch seems to have the same, but with a stronger focus on Nintendo releases. Normally I'd buy a Nintendo console at its peak like what I did for the 3DS, but the whole docking gimmick for TVs vs its apparent lag/lower hardware vs the PS4 is making me think twice.
I've considered it, but seems like it would be better to buy a 2nd hand PS4 for the older PS games.

Bit of an RPG fan and a mild JRPG fan. So far PS4 seems to be the better couch console based on the posts here. What's the best niche title for the PS anyway? Gravity Rush seems to be one of the most brought up in general threads.

Persona 5 is my personal favorite as far as PS4 only titles go.
