Will you be buying The Sims 4 on console?

Probably not because if it is just the base game and if you already have it and all the DLC, I do not see no point in me starting on the console. This is good for those waiting to play on the console, I am kind of spoiled on the PC with all the DLC. :) Another thing it controls may be stripped down.

I won't go down that road again. No console version of Sims4 for me. I like the pc versions of the Sims game just fine. And no way am I going to pay twice for the pleasure. Why can't EA just stay on point and improve the game we already paid for? :|

I agree, I brought Sims 3 on console and could not get into it, I prefer PC. I hope those getting the console version have fun with it. :)

Definitely, although I kinda wish it would've been like Bustin' Out but I'll enjoy it regardless.

Yes! I will be getting it.

No. If The Sims 4 for XBox will be as buggy as the Sims 3 for Wii was, I wouldn't bother. It was fun, but they really could have tested it more.

At one time I would have bought it but now I'm so disenchanted with TS4 on the computer (and the computer versions have always been more fun to me) that I don't think I will waste my money on the Xbox version. There's stil aspects in the computer version I wish were implemented into the game. Why not focus on that? I remember when I was so excited ts4 was coming out and spent $100+ on the "special" pack just to fast forward three years down the road and not much has changed

I have an xbox one, but no, I will not be buying the game for it. All my simming is for the pc.

The Sims 4 is already a console-quality The Sims title. I don't even want to imagine how bad a The Sims 4 on consoles would be.

I actually much prefer consoles. PC gaming is too expensive, and The Sims is the only PC franchise I care about... But The Sims games on consoles are not very good. They're so watered down. They aren't any kind of alternative IMO.

I'd imagine it to be virtually the same experience, given it seems they may be able to port DLC to the base game itself on console:

Pre-order and get The Sims™ 4 Perfect Patio Stuff featuring hot tubs, more fashion, and bonus décor!*"

But analog controls for a Sims game is horrendous. The game, as its formatted on PC, is meant to be played with keyboard and mouse. Pointing and clicking with an analog is a downright annoyance.

Personally, I think PC gaming is cheaper. The cost to build one and then buy a desk, monitor, etc. for the first time can be pricey. However, what you end up buying tends to be as powerful or more powerful than what consoles have, and has more practical use, so you are getting more value for your money. This helps later on, when years pass and consoles are going obsolete, and your PC is still ahead. Also, the PC has a massive library of games to play which are always going on sale for great deal, whereas console games tend to take longer to drop in price. As someone who has both PC and console, I just find PC to be the cheaper, more beneficial route to take.

Exactly, PC gaming will always be better than console, for the basic reason that you have a whole PC library at your fingertips. You don't need to purchase games multiple times, because companies only allow you to play old games by rebuying them. Especially simple "HD upscaled" games. An old PC game can be upscaled to HD for free.

If you have all the DLC on the PC will it be cost effective for me to also have it on the console as well? For me I do not see it as cost effective as I already own the base game and all the DLC, it would be a waste of money being it may not exactly play like the PC version and I see the game being limited and there is no guarantee that EA will add all the DLC. This however will be great for those that have yet to invest in the great but for me it is not in my best interest, I rather wait and see how it plays out.

For me, it is a no. I see no reason or benefit in buying this game again for the console. I will stick to the PC game.
