Last of us is on pc, right? I think I'm just gonna end up going with the series x and when I have the money I'm just buying an epic gamer pc with ps controller to play the exclusives (and all the other games I want, but with keyboard and mouse)

Console wise if you can afford it, I'd recommend going with the Series X over the S at this point. Recent articles come out about devs asking Microsoft to move away from the Series S due to hardware limitations. I'd expect to see a new more powerful Series console in a couple years and them phasing out the S for newer games or making it more a Xcloud console, leaving the Series X and whatever the new one will be.

Headset wise I've loved my Steelseries Arctis 5s, use it in my consoles and PC super comfy, lightweight and has great sound quality.

if ur new to console gaming, do u already have a PC? if u do, then I'd say go for the ps5 for the exclusives.

if u don't care about exclusives or the games u would probably play are cross platform then Xbox would be good.

I mean they are very close spec wise. I have both but find myself playing my Xbox more as I have game pass and I know ps has the same thing but I'm still not a fan of streaming games. And the backwards compatibility of the Xbox whether disc or digital seals the deal for me. But again it comes down to what you are going to be playing. PlayStation exclusives are great and all but if you don't care for horizon or god of war or any others then in MY OPINION lol I would go Xbox hope that helps and happy gaming 😁👍

Go for the series x you won't regret it. Had trouble finding a PS5 so bought the series x and it with gamepass and all my old Xbox one and 360 games and I'm set.

How old are the old games you want to play? The PS5 can play more than 99% of the PS4's library. That's basically every game released on PlayStation in the last 9 years.

The Xbox can play about a third of the 360's library and a handful of OG Xbox games - which is a bit of a shitty selling point for a 500 buck console in 2022.

Well, I am not a "pc" gamer. I just have a laptop for casual things, but obviously it doesn't have the gpu and storage for gaming. So I just wanted an upgrade and I liked the idea of consoles. Also I live in the Netherlands and the ps5 is €700+ here while the xbox is 'only' (still a lot) €500.
