7 reasons you should buy a PlayStation 4 instead of the Nintendo Switch

nintendo switch vs playstation 4

Let's say you want to buy a modern video game console, and you have $300 to play with: What should you buy?

For $300, you can buy a PlayStation 4 or a Nintendo Switch — both cost exactly $300, and offer unique gaming experiences.

If you're on the fence, though, here are 7 reasons you should buy a PlayStation 4 instead of the Nintendo Switch:

1. The PlayStation 4 has a larger library of games. There are about 1,800 PlayStation 4 games you can buy, compared to around 1,200 Nintendo Switch games.

2. You can buy a PlayStation 4 — the PS4 Pro — that supports visuals for your 4K HDR TV. The Nintendo Switch only supports visuals up to 1080p HD.

It's a small thing, but if you own a 4K HDR TV and want to get the most out of it, the PlayStation 4 has games that support this stunning visual format, including "Horizon Zero Dawn" and "God of War."

3. Both consoles have incredible exclusive games, but the PlayStation 4 has more of them.

The Nintendo Switch has several must-have exclusive games, such as "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," "Super Mario Odyssey," and "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe."

But the PlayStation 4 benefits by having been around longer, and has built up a larger library of incredible exclusive titles, including "God of War," "Bloodborne," "Horizon Zero Dawn," "Uncharted 4," "Shadow of the Colossus," "The Last of Us," and the "MLB: The Show" series, among others.

As it stands right now, the PlayStation 4 has roughly double the number of exclusive games compared to the Nintendo Switch.

The Nintendo Switch has plenty of great-looking exclusives on the way, like "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate," "Metroid Prime 4," and a bevy of new Pokémon games, but the PlayStation 4 also has the exclusive Spider-Man game coming out soon, the next game from Hideo Kojima called "Death Stranding," and plenty of other great-looking exclusives like "The Last of Us Part II" and "Ghost of Tsushima."
