Ya I have seen this a lot , I guess I will just keep the XSX for now. Thanks for the response!

Performance wise, both machines are pretty much the same. They both have areas where they outperform the other. The difference is negligible.

So it is mostly a case of which games and hardware suit you best. Yes, at the minute, Sony has a better lineup of exclusives. That will change starting this year. Microsoft have purchased a lot of big studios over the last few years, and you will really start to see their exclusive library explode in these next couple of years.

My honest opinion, keep the Series X. Save up for a PS5. There will always be exclusives on the other side that you want. No matter which team you pick.

Edit, got my consoles mixed up at the end there.

I have both, and honestly I never touch the Series X.. PS5 is way better

I'd usually say it depends on the games but the XBox One plays all the same games as Series X.

I'd say go with PS5 to expand your library now and then upgrade to Series X later to make your Xbox games look better

PS5

Buy whatever you want, not what someone else wants you to buy

I wonder why people can't be bothered to use the search function to see all of the other same questions.

ok. quite a random question, but is there any way to use the xbox wireless headset thing on a ps5 through any external hardware? can always buy a new headset but i have been enjoying this one.

Depends on what you like to play, PlayStation currently has the best exclusive games, especially when it comes to the single player experience. Xbox is promising exclusive games this year but they also promised that last year and didn't deliver and pissed a lot of their fans off. Xbox does have the advantage in multi-player games and then there's Game Pass which is what a lot of people love. So it comes down to what you want to play. Do you want single player exclusive bangers or multi-player experiences and a lot of indies on game pass. Game Pass also gets all of Microsoft first party exclusives too. PlayStation plus is okay too though just no Sony day and date exclusives

If you’re selling your console, you can factory reset it from settings. It will delete everything from the console but your accounts will still exist.

PC can do everything and Xbox can and more. Get the PlayStation.

The size isn't a big deal. I have enough space on my desk. But i like the simple design of the xbox more.

Ps5 for me but in Slim version. Current ps5 is hideous

I’ve recently switched form PS to Xbox series X and wont be going back to PS. Even with all my mates having a PS this haven’t stopped us playing together and I just love the game pass and currently don’t miss a single thing from the PS.

My advice would be think of what you want… if you want great exclusives go for the PS (although Xbox have some decent stuff coming soon) and if you just want a great work horse with game pass the Xbox is the choice

Xbox because game pass just exists, better controllers, better storage, more exclusives and a better cost.

Blah blah blah Buy wtf you want

If you delete an online account it's gone. Don't do it.

I own both but only play pc. My kids took over my consoles. Love both though.

I am a dad and I own both the PS5 and XBox Series X. I initially got the PS5 on launch date. My intention was to buy a series S when Bethesda was acquisitiond by Microsoft and realising that I have a 4k TV and that I probably wouldn't play the S due to the limited specs of the series S. To your question it depends on how you value PlayStation exclusives, unlike XBox game pass PlayStation don't release their XBox games on their service. I've not paid for a single game for the XBox apart from gamepass. But be prepared to shell out over £50-£70 per game.

I use my PC like an Xbox and I have a PS5. My kids are grown and out of the house but I remember well waking up early on the weekends for some peace and quiet game time before the house wakes up.

You have to assess the libraries. For me, I want access to the most and best games. The PS5/PC combo gives that to me. Just researching the GOTY nominees over the past 12 years shows that Sony has 1-3 nominees (and often winners) every year. Microsoft studios are rarely ever nominated.

If getting a PC is not on your radar, then I'd keep the Series X and get a PS5. The PS5 PS Plus collection will give you about 17 bangers up front. The PS Plus Premium will get you about 800 games for $120 per year ($90 on holiday sale!). This includes almost all of the exclusives. The new games (like Ragnarok, for example) usually take about a year before they're added.

It couples well with Xbox Game Pass. I've probably played about 10 games on Game Pass this year. Mainly Halo, TMNT Shredders Revenge and a bunch of Indy titles. It costs more for less games but a lot of those games are day one releases. Unfortunately it costs more per year on Xbox ($180) than it does on PC ($120).

I don't like subscription services but 800 games for the cost of 2 and 450 games for the cost of 3 are both good deals.

I STRONGLY recommend getting the disk version of the ps5 (or any console, really). It will actually be cheaper than the digital version in the long run. Being at the mercy of waiting for a game to go on sale is no fun. Especially when the game is still more expensive than its physical version is year round. You can often find $5 - $10 copies of physical games that are $60 digitally. Just 2 of those will pay for your $100 disk drive. Borrowing/trading/selling used copies with friends/colleagues will save you tons over the console's life span.

Anyway, good luck with it.

I would personally say you're pretty safe to sell the Series S and get a PS5.
Right now the PS5 honestly doesn't have that many exclusives, the big ones I'd say are Demon's Souls, God of War Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West.
For a heavy gamer I'd say it isn't worth it, they'd blow through those in a couple of weeks.
For someone playing only a few hours a week though, these titles should hold you over until more releases like Hogwarts and FF7R2 as you'd mentioned, as well as FF16.
If you can afford it and you want to play, I say go for it. You gotta spoil yourself a little sometimes, you know?

Gt6 was ok but I wouldnt play through it again it took me what felt like forever to get the 2j racecar and for 1 fucken race

Me too dude. I have both consoles and 2 children, one of them is 6 so I know your pain. I’ve invested in hardware for flight sim 2020 on Xbox too I get maybe an hour a day, if that.
