Forza for XBox if you're really into racing. Imo Gears Of War and Halo are not really that much of games. Extremely overrated if you ask me.

For Playstation basically almost every exclusive they have. They are just generally phenomenal for me.

For Switch you really need to be into RPGs to keep it. If I had money to, I would easily buy a Switch just to play BOTW and Pokémon

NOPE. You can get a series S for that price, are you mental? Approaching the 350 mark you can almost get a series X, the latest, most powerful Xbox console. You aren’t selling a last gen PlayStation for that xD

For reference I sold my last gen Xbox one X for 220 last year, and that console is 4 times more powerful than the ps4!

I have a ps5 and my roommate has a xsx and we switch consols from time to time to be able to catch up with exclusives.

I just feel more comfortable with Xbox controller on long gaming sessions but if you don't have that time dualsense will give you an amazing experience.

PlayStation subscription is good for catching up with old exclusives but not new ones. Xbox subscription is good for playing current games and also current exclusives with time.

Also with xsx you can play almost any game you mentioned that you fond of. I recently played Conker's Bad Fur Day and Castlevania Lords of Shadow on my friends Xbox for example.

One thing PS5 has is it's exclusives which are really making everyone's choice harder like you noted on your post. Last of Us, Returnal, Spiderman, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Sifu etc.

From what you said about yourself I think Xbox would be a great choice for you. But if you're still thinking about other exclusives that I haven't mentioned in the last paragraph go for PlayStation. Gaming is all about enjoying ourselves. I think either way your choice would be the right choice. Have fun friend.

the PS5 has the best exclusives for sure as well as a big back catalog of amazing PS4 games for dirt cheap. PS5 exclusive games are rarely on any significant sale though. PS5 would be good if you're pretty sure you want to play the Sony exclusives. You could such with PS4 games until PS5 games come down in price and still have several years of amazing games to play.

Xbox's big draw is game pass. You know what Xbox offers. If you're happy with the games but just want a much better experience then it's a safe choice. Especially if you like any of the backward compatible games that go on sale all the time.

Another good option would be to buy a PS4 Pro used and play a bunch of PS4 games while waiting for a good time to upgrade. As I said above, the back catalog of cheap and excellent games can keep you stayed for a very long time if you're interested. You might even consider pairing this with a Series S and get a better Xbox experience without jumping straight to a $500 console.

I think if I were to only have one console I would choose the series X because of game pass and my love of 360 era games. I have a gaming PC though, though, so my Series X feels largely irrelevant now. A PC and a PS5 will let you play the best of everything for many years to come.

Exactly, with a weak pc you already have access to this type of product, I live in Brazil and the consoles are extremely expensive, you can't buy a console for an exclusive tale, apart from the fact that the pc has a whole library of games that you'll only have them there, so you'll have the two mentioned, and another bunch of games, for me it's just profit.

My primary console is a Xbox series X and it serves as the primary entertainment center for my home. Almost any streaming service has a native app, gamepass has plenty of content both new and old that there's something for everyone.

For a console outside of that it would be hard to justify. I have a switch but it doesn't get used that often.

Should have got the series x but ps5 is pretty dope, ngl. I play everything and once again Sony is taking the lead on console wars. As far as graphics, don't trip. Performance, if you have an X dont trip. Everything else, Sony has it in the bag. Dont switch though, play both. Sometimes its all about online community and exclusives with specific games. If you're a serious console gamer you need both.
