Fair enough. The PS5 also has a free library of hundreds of games so if you haven’t owned one before then there’s plenty to play. Series X exclusives have a theme of always being delayed. Hopefully that changes in 2023. Enjoy your Xbox dude

I’ve got both consoles. If I was going to get one of them then I would absolutely get the PS5. The exclusives can’t be matched. My SeriesX is a game pass machine

I think ima go for the Xbox as I don't have a pc ( i actually sold it for £800 to get the Xbox/ps5) and I see the ps5 like an iPhone, it's just popular and flashy but not quite as good. That's just my opinion tho and you might think otherwise. Also I don't like the controller and overall it seems kinda anti consumer

I prefer ps5. My PC has all of my Xbox games covered.

Also, series x only has 4 current gen only games that I'm aware of (2 of those are also on PS5 and one on is even on PS4). Meaning, you can buy a an old Xbox one for under $100 and play all of the same games as the Series X (obviously at lower quality).

I own both and much prefer my Series X, however there’s no right answer. It really does come down to your preference of games.

I personally prefer my Xbox because there’s far more games/devs I like there, plus Gamepass is just so good. Far more old games on there have been enhanced/patched/upgraded with 60FPS etc. plus you get lots of day one releases.

To be clear I’m not shitting on my PS5, it’s a great console but the games I like on there are few and far between so I just keep that for occasional exclusive.

Tbh I'm in the UK and the only one readily available is the series X, if I wanted a ps5 i would need one used or hunt in stores. I hate the ps controller, and even tho I want the exclusives, I also hate ps fanboys so I think ima go for the Xbox. Edit: also imo the ps5 is like an iPhone and an Xbox is like an android. The Xbox is better and more powerful, while the ps5 is more popular and flashy ( also kinda a trend)

So I go back and forth. Tbh I mainly play f2P games like WZ and fortnite, Apex etc. I’ve gone from Ps4 - Xbox 1 to series S to series X. And I was in a GameStop and saw the PS5 there and was avail so I traded in my series X for it. At some point mid gen upgrades will come out and I’ll decide where to go next. Sooo as far as difference in hardware, I’ve never noticed. All the games play flawlessly on my 4K monitor. What I actually love about the PS5 is the controller. Haptic feedback is awesome. It’s definitely my favourite part about the console. I could care less about god of war , spiderman and all the other exclusives. For Xbox, Game pass is amazing especially if you like to try out different games. It’s definitely an amazing deal. If you like the PS exclusives then I would just go with PS. But they are essentially the same devices with different software. In addition all the new 3rd party multiplayer games all seem to be coming out cross platform. I play Warzone with all my friends on all platforms. I think in the end just walk into the GameStop or wherever and whatever is available get it. Good luck and I’m sure you’ll be happy with either choice

I mean it sounds like you've made up your mind. Not liking the UI or controller aren't going to be overcome by a few exclusive games. You need to use the console for every game.

Personally I've got an Xbox and would find it hard to swap especially with Game Pass offering so much to play.

I do miss Gran Turismo though!
