Dude. Xbox series x runs games a teeny tiny better and the ps5 loads them a teeny tiny faster. Other than that, it's virtually the same box. Switch as much as you'd like.

Didn't even know this was a thing. Sorry can't help. It just seems a ps5 would be awkward to lug around 🤷‍♀️

PC and PS5, you can get most Xbox games on PC with Xbox play anywhere

Which one should I get? I'm leaning towards the 4k60Hz one.

The Xbox does in fact have all these things on some of the consoles shared games, a recent example would be guardians of the galaxy. The PS5 on performance mode cannot hold a steady 60 fps at 1080p resolution, where the series x can hold 60 fps much better and with VRR support any drops are not felt throughout gameplay. Obviously this is one example, but in general games do run at higher resolutions/dynamic resolutions, frame rates, if only slightly and the included VRR built into the console provides smoother gameplay where it cannot hold a consistent frame rate. Series X also plays more games at 120 fps then PS5 and has better ray tracing, like in games such as doom eternal and resident evil village.

One console is technically more powerful then the other, which accounts for these difference, that’s not a point of debate. While developers can and do optimize there software to run as good as it can, it will never account for the difference in raw compute power.

90% of the ps5 is not designed for cooling, it’s blower style fan and fin stack are packed into the side of it. While the PS5 pulls more power with a larger PSU it’s cooling pushes air in all directions over everything at once, resulting in higher temps on the motherboard. The APUs on both vary in temperature but generally hold close to each other in most testing.

Microsoft’s exclusives are much stronger going forward if you want to play multiplayer games. These are designed to run natively on Xbox hardware at the best performance. With the recent acquisition Microsoft has made, games like Call of Duty and Warzone will almost certainly release first on Xbox and with more content then PS5. Other blizzard titles will surely make there way to the console as well, with possibly exclusivity like Diablo 4 and WoW.

While I don’t disagree that Sony has great exclusives I would argue there all single player experiences. As I said before you could experience the best of both worlds by simply picking up a steam deck and having all your Sony games on the go. Single player stuff is great for travelling or laying in bed.

Im not shilling I’m just pointing out the differences. The xbox just has more benefits in my opinion, gamepass is still unparalleled by anyone in terms of value and choice. Xbox is the best place to play for cross play, with built in support on windows PCs with Xbox you can connect with people the same way you would using the Xbox’s social interface. Plus the added use of discord you can communicate however you want without having to use a phone of laptop next to you.

And I gave an honest opinion that differed from yours.

Also just looked through your post history and it seems you have a history of being arrogant/belittling on various posts. Now I understand this whole thread.

There is no console war. For somebody who has no stake in it, you sure are bringing up a lot of Xbox vs PS topics that no one asked for.

I'm just giving OP an honest recommendation based on the info he give us. If he didn't have a PC and couldn't afford one, I could just as easily recommend a series X over PS5.

Ok you make a good case there but my point still also stands. Being able to share game progress between PC and console is big plus for GPU.

Sony are lagging behind in this battle this time around. PS Plus is a reactionary response to Gamepass. Sony have repeatedly stated NO AAA games on day one.

On a side note...... One thing I really don't understand, every time there is a discussion around Xbox/PS5/Gamepass etc, the Sony fans always point out exclusives as the MAJOR selling point of the PS5 (Just as you have done above). While at the same time contradicting themselves by screaming blue murder that MS might make some Activision games "Exclusive". I don't play COD but I kinda hope they do make it exclusive as an "up yours" to all the "Sony is allowed to have exclusives but MS is not" crew.

I have no stake in the console wars btw as I have both current gen machines plus a gaming PC. May even open up and unbox my PS5 soon as it seems the jailbreaking scene is hotting up there and it wont be long before all those exclusives will be up for grabs on the net for free anyway!

Obviously I did. He asked if he should buy a PS5.

I'm not sure that the 80 - 100 old games that xbox game pass has over pc game pass (most of which can still be bought and played on PC) is worth a $500 console and an additional $60 a year.

For that same price, you can get the PS5 and PS Plus collection. For another $40 a year, you get another 400+ games, including many PS exclusives. Perfect for anyone who wants to get caught up if they are new to the system. This is cheaper than Game Pass Ultimate, has about the same amount of games and way more games that are not available on PC.

It also gives him access to exclusives that may or may not be released in 1 - 3 years after release on PC.

So yeah, I read his post and provided my recommendation along with the logic behind it. Have fun raging about it for no reason and providing very little logic to support your stance.

I feel like the PS5 has the advantage in games but they are starting to release those on PC too so that is lessening.

Did you read the original post at all?

Quite clearly the OP wants a CONSOLE for his bedroom so clearly has the funds to buy one. They also already see the benefit of having gamepass on console and PC.

Umm, there's something called money which a lot of people might not have...

PC has everything available to xbox and more. It's just a fact. Seems like a waste of money to have both but I'm glad it works for you.

Oh you mean those PS exclusives that Sony are slowly bringing across to PC to try and combat MS and Gamepass?

OP if you can afford it then buy both consoles. But if your an avid PC gamer then the xbox will complement that.

Still, if you already have a pc and can only play the same games, its worth more to buy a PS5 for the seperate library. Pc for xbox and pc exclusives, ps5 for PlayStation exclusives

How dumb are you dude, thats exactly why they will complement each other. OP says he wants a console for the bedroom. IE his PC is not in the bedroom.

Let me explain it in simple terms for you.

​

OP plays game on PC, saves progress. Later on, goes to bedroom, fancies playing said game again, switches on Xbox, plays game with SAME SAVED GAME PROGRESS as PC , carries on from where he left off.

How is that not complimenting each other.

​

Also as I previously said, there are differing games on both PC and Xbox gamepass. There are also games that are on both and work as I described above. Both services are NOT exactly the same.

​

Anyway, isn't time you went back of to r/ps5 and joined the rest of the fanboys.....

Ps5 and pc since you can already play all xbox games on pc

They wont complement each other if you can only play the same games

That statement is just wrong, you get differing games on PC and Xbox. Yes a lot are on both but there are games that are on one or the other.

Gamepass Ultimate will give the possibility of playing the games on either the PC or Xbox, a lot share their saved game so you can play on either machine and have the same progress/save game. The xbox and PC will compliment each other.

​

I have PC and Series X with ps5 UNOPENED and shoved in the loft.

I see absolutely zero reason to buy the series x if you have a decent pc.

Keep your ps4, some of the coming exclusives will be on there too

Then you can go for the xbox

I have respect for those of you who have replaced the PC with ps/xbox. I hear many say that PC is the "king of gaming" as you don't have to compromise with frames and graphics. as well as mouse and keyboard options as well as controller options. One of my close friends is PC only and since I also have a hard time letting things go, it's hard for me to switch from PC to ps/console. it must be said that I have both a gaming PC, an XSS and a PS5. but I don't have the time for all three and also thought it was too expensive with all three.

If you think you would prefer the games on the ps5 then get that. Everything else is just noise.

My point is he should keep the Xbox and just go on buying the PS5.
