PS4 is a great console. It has cool features. The gameplay and graphics are great too. But the issue is that I've always been a Xbox gamer. When I bought a PS4, I knew I was leaving behind all my Xbox friends and I bought a PS4 for the sake of being a 21st generation gamer (I MEAN COME ON! EVERYONE HAD THE NEW GEN CONSOLES!) After owning it for three weeks or so, I got bored because I had no friends to play with, and so I returned to playing on Xbox 360 again. My mom and dad are angry at the fact that I bought a new console, yet I don't use it. It just sits idle over there on top of my table and I keep looking at it with regret. I wish there was a way to turn back the time. I always wanted to buy Xbox one but the bragging of the shopkeepers persuaded me when they said "PS4 is a much better console. You'll regret buying an Xbox one. Blah blah blah." I feel so naïve for not following my own instincts and for listening to those shopkeepers and then buying a PS4. I wish I could sell the PS4. I really really want Xbox one and my achievements, my friends, my heart, all lies with Xbox. After buying a PS, I came to a conclusion that I can never be a PS gamer. No, it's not the controls. In fact I got used to the dualshock in like an hour or less. I got used to the interface too. But I miss the feeling that Xbox gave me. I always felt comfortable while using Xbox, and the sound of the achievements would always make me smile. It's not the same with PS4 though. I respect all the consoles and their developers, by the way. And as I said, PS4 is great but it's not my type. Please don't hate. Now the main question is this: WHAT SHOULD I DO?! It's barely been two months since I bought PS4! I can't just tell my parents that I don't want a PS4! They'll skin me alive! I just want a Xbox one!

It takes time to get into new stuff.
Just keep trying it time to time and eventually, you'll get the fire lit inside you to actually enjoy it.

Be sure to dwiddle into as much video game information about the PS4 as well as try making new friends and what not.

Its a normal behavior with people who're used to one thing or another.

It's easy. Make sure when your friends upgrade their consoles, it's a PS4. That way you guys can re-unite in the PS eco-system. Unless you all only play Halo. :p

Dont really understand what's keeping you from selling it.
just initiate a WTS thread in the PG marketplace and you are good to go. No reason for it to sit idle. Sell it, may have to add a bit more cash and Get XBOX one no reason to regret for such a minor reason too.
take it as an experience

Sell it & get xbox one. Obviously you'll take a hit by losing some money but if your body, mind, soul & spirit are craving for xbox, why waste time?

I feel ur pain bro.

I've owned both and for me, from a purely gaming perspective, they were exactly the same. Like everyone else has said, you've really only got a few options.

1. Keep it, use it and try and make new friends online.
2. Keep it, use it and wait for ur friends switch to PS (extremely unlikely),
3. Keep it, not use it, and play on ur 360 (such a waste),
4. Sell it and buy a new XB1 (waste some money),
5. Sell it (or trade it) and by a 2nd hand XB1.

I may be wrong here but if memory serves, PS4s are more expensive than XB1s, so you may not loose any/much money if selling/trading.

Something needs to be done...such a waste if its not being used...I don't think I'd enjoy playing on a ps3/360 after playing on a ps4/xb1.

Anyway, good luck!

Oh so people who dont like PS even after playing it do exist :D well Im such a PS lover that I love it even if its just sitting somewhere on my table. It looks beautiful. All I want is to have it whether I play much or not :D

I have been in love with PS since 1999. I dont know why but, I never liked xbox, though I do admit its controllers are better.

Ah !! I miss those good old days when I used to play PS3 all night long ignoring every living fuck.

Why people are recommending him something he can get rid of? "Get used to it. Wait for your friends to upgrade to ps4. Give it sometime." BS.

Just goto Marketplace section, make a WTS thread and GET RID OF THAT THING.

He tried but still couldn't give the love to that PS4 as same as X360... His parents also thrash him daily. His life has become miserable. The only option he has now is to GET RID OF THAT THING

Its not the end of the world.
Let him pick out what he wants.

All we could do is tell him different options.

It's kinda like when you leave school and go to college. You can't go back to the school again and you prefer NOT to drop out (as your parents will kill you) but you miss your friends.
