Well i don't own a gaming pc and have never been interested in PC gaming, i always use apple computers (just my preference). I only game on consoles, so i basically just need a good "next-gen" console to play the recent AAA games on, thats it.

Typically I’ve found or heard that if someone doesn’t have a gaming PC they are usually more attracted to the Series X as it’s “more than just a gaming platform” if you already have a PC then you won’t get much out of a Series X and you can get a good amount of the games on it or even play cross play with other Microsoft users on your PC so there is no point getting a X box console in this generation. The PS5 major selling point as always is the exclusives but hold on most of those are being brought to the PC these days much to the annoyance of some of the loyal Sony players. Another factor is that the PS5 and the Digital Only version are both likely to dominate your tv stand or anywhere you put it (it’s not a tiny thing) neither is the Series X but it’s more square design makes it easier to fit into places and since it’s not shining white (at least when you first get it, like the ps5) it easily blends in. The only thing is just be conscious of the top of the console where spillages, dust and maybe even food could fall inside, it won’t go near the important stuff but will make it a pain to clean or an embarrassment.

I have series x and in my opinion it’s way better then ps5 it may not have exclusive games but the only good one on ps5 is spiderman miles morales but they brought that to ps4 so get series x it has lots of storage it looks cool it is 4k and Xbox has been 4k way longer then play station I mean every game is 4k also you can play Xbox 360 games and Xbox one games on it so it’s just way better also the controllers work on a pc and you can play legacy versions of mincraft

To be frank I’m not sure, because I keep my console next to the router. But I would try to move the console before contacting Sony support.

If you're looking to expand your library, get the PS5. Xbox Series doesn't have any games that are current gen exclusives yet so you still have access to the entire library with your current hardware. You just don't have the graphic upgrades. I think xbox is getting its 1st current gen exclusive this month but it doesn't look like anything special and its also on Playstation 5.

The PS Plus Premium subscription actually has more games than Game Pass and it's a lot cheaper. However, it doesn't have the day one games and the PS3 library can only be streamed. It does come with almost all of the Sony exclusives you missed out on with the exception of the new releases from this year so you can get caught up.

I recommend researching release dates for upcoming xbox console exclusive games that you are interested in. If you find some, try to budget so that you can afford a Series S or X. There's not many but some will be shaking loose 2023, I think.

Or you can play the long game if you don't see anything that's a "must have" and save up for a PC since it gives you access to the Xbox games, PC games and also mods.

I use Xbox Game Pass on PC and PS Plus Premium on PS5. I haven't needed to fire up my Xbox for any reason.
