PS5 AND a Series S. I have been Xbox since Xbox 1 but my son bought a PS5 over the summer. The PS exclusives are pretty awesome. I like how PS handled adding additional memory vs Xbox’s overpriced proprietary crap. I love my Series X but if you don’t already have a ton invested in games for either platform the PS is mighty tempting even for an Xbox guy like me.

My bad for over stepping. Just seen a rise in people bragging about the series X power over the PS5 lately and spreading a lot of false information - which for a buyer is a bit shitty!

I say ps is middle ground because xbox is quintessentially console and pc is the polar opposite. Ps to me feels like a good blend of console perks and benefits and pc playability and quality.

The haptic controller on the ps5 is amazing. The ps4 not so much. And the entire style is a clear rip off of the xbox controller design (granted its not a patented design and is the most ergonomic controller design to date but still).

I mentioned ps exclusives are legendary. God tier. And in fairness so is the tiers. But game pass is just better in so many more ways.

Why not both? For money you got for pc you can get ps5 and series s. Other option, since you really want to play ps exclusives get ps5. If there is something xbox exclusive it will probably be on gamepass. xcloud is becoming very good and accessible and it should be good for singleplayer games. With xbox you have more flexibility where to play games.

Curious as to why you state the PS is middle ground when in reality (not just stats on paper) there is minimal difference between the Series X and PS5?

“A lot of people have said PlayStation, but a lot of people fail to give reasoning”

  • Absolutely solid tier of Exclusive titles? Not all of which have hit PC?

  • Haptic controller?

  • Whilst PS tiers pale in comparison to game pass, they get amazing monthly games compared to Xbox imo. December is Mass Effect Legendary Edition & Biomutant for example. GWG has been treading water for ages now.

It’s a few points that I think are very worthy when contemplating the two.

I own both and honestly don’t think you can go wrong with either option. However to actually experience next gen? PS will get you there sooner - I’m still waiting on series x.
