Have the best of both worlds? He will literally miss the upcoming gow game, I dont see your point

Wow this sub is a microsoft cult. He clearly states he likes ps games more and you guys are repeating “Xbox more powerful, xbox better games” like drones that you are

Wow delusion is strong with this one. “Better frame pacing, better fps on xbox,, BETTER COOLING” AHAHHAHA. Literally 90% of the ps5 size is dedicated to cooling. I would say your right if you were talking about resolution but ps5 generally has better fps than xbox. Your comment is straight up microsoft shilling. And no, non of xbox exclusives can match to ps exclusives. Microsoft has a history of killing the studios they buy and activision, bethesda are shitty studios anyway. Take your L

Don't listen to the fanboy comments. Get what ever console has the games you want to play. That's all that matters.

The last of us 1 + 2, God of War 1 + 2, Horizon 1 + 2, Days Gone, Ratchet and Clank, Returnal, Death Stranded, Demon Souls, Kena, Astro Playroom.... Oh and the dualsense 🙂

I don't blame you.

I have both. If it's for exclusives the get the PS5 but, if you are like me, I rarely play a game through twice. I always go back to my series x. Always. It is my primary entertainment. Everytime I go to buy a game I can usually play it on gamepass. That said I love the PS exclusives but if I had to pick one system I would pick my xbox series x and I play on everything. Comp, switch, ps5, series x, steam deck. I just returned to the Xbox after a month away because it always has something great.

Edit- typing error

Why switching over when you have the best of both worlds? Sure, PS5 games have and will get more exclusives, but unlike PlayStation, Xbox has more better deals and retro games. I don't own either the next gen consoles, but I do have both PS4 and Xbox One S. But I digress. It's really up to you though, but be careful about how much you're spending.

Unless you swap used for used and its for exclusives… it’s really not worth it. Just it being opened loses a lot of value.

Wouldn‘t do it unless you really need the ps5 exclusives

The xbox is the better console and gamepass is a better value than ps+

Xbox series x won't give you access to anything your PC doesn't already have and the game pass ultimate is $15 for Xbox, not $10 like it is for PC.

I have PC and PS5 with an Xbox collecting dust.

Both....

I wouldn’t recommend it personally. The Xbox on paper is technically more powerful and better cooled then the ps5. We’ve already seen a lot of games that have come out on both platforms running better on series x. Whether that be in frame pacing, frame rate consistency, graphic fidelity or resolution the series x is in the lead. On top of that game pass and cross platform play are unparalleled on Xbox, especially with the integration of discord to run natively on series x.

While I agree play station has some strong exclusives like God of War and Horizon, I would argue that Microsoft’s exclusives and recent acquisitions of activision blizzard are much stronger going forward.

I’d say keep the Xbox, save up for a steam deck and just play the Sony exclusives there. Plus you’ll be able to play wherever you want.

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Good decision. Sell the Xbox as used in your local marketplace (Kijiji, Facebook, Craig, ect.)

Then the ps5 will seem even more affordable. The next gen games exclusive to ps5 make the swap 100% worth it. The Xbox is the cheapo console, okay for its game library but isn't "platinum" level as ps5 offers.

I did exactly that, switched from PC to PS almost seven years ago and now I’m a proud Xbox Series X user. And I feel like I’ve made right choice.

• First of all, getting used to new controller has took me like a week, maybe even less. And let me tell you, holding a ps controller feels weird now. I think Xbox controllers are much better, ergonomically.
• Xbox has also coming up with strong exclusives, especially if you’re into RPGs. Starfield, Avowed, Fables remake, Outer Worlds 2 and possibly future Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. Personally, I’m planning to have the both consoles but if I have to choose one, it would be Xbox.
• Game pass.

Only downside is the UI. It’s a mess compared to PS UI but it’s not a big deal.

I’d grab a series S and gamepass and see how it goes. You might hate gamepass and the Xbox controller and if that’s the case after a couple months, you’re not really out a bunch of money because you can just sell the series S

Keep your ps4 because there are still games for it

Edit: to add, even picking up a second hand series S is great to see how you like it. So many of my friends just play Warzone / COD and they always have COD, and then a couple games on the ssd. It’s small storage wise but with a cheap 1tb HDD it’s great.

Prob best to get a retro fighters one then. The Brooks adaptor is about 40 and then you would have to buy a dualshock3 as well.

I don't own a Playstation so haven't been incentivized much to research but took a quick glance, it looks interesting but it kind of falls short for me compared to Gamepass personally. I'm at work so I can give a better response later but I enjoy a lot of the games presented on Gamepass as opposed to the ones I see on PS currently there. Guess it also depends on the kind of games you're into too.

I dont have a PS3 though. Only a 2

I've been using this adaptor by a company called Brook for a few years. It let's you use PS3 controllers with PS1 and PS2. I've got Retro Fighters controllers for other systems though and they are great. Lots of options!

Yeah, sounds interesting. How does it compare to the new PS subscription options?

I'll ask you this:

​

What's your opinion on Gamepass? I think that's one of the dealbreakers for many folks on Xbox including me. If it sounds appealing to you then I'd probably go with XSX or Series S even, Worst (actually, best) case scenario you get XSX and PS5 at some point and have both!
