I'm sorry.. I don't know, maybe it's caused by fact I ain't native to english, but I have some problems to understand your words.. Yes, devices break due to wear or if you prefer "usage".. That's how world works.. You ever herd about "analog drift"? Same as switches on consoles, circuits, moving and not moving parts. Everything what is doing work of some sort may broke down. And we only talk about predicted causes that are effect of using devices as desifned, there are always things that designer never thought of (furious gamer?), and random occurences like transformator faliure or electrical network instabilities that results with damages.. Overvoltages are pretty popular, not mentioning users that don't know a thing about their devices or technical aspect of it (guess you heard about people that put in device totally random chargers or power supplies, from totally different devices, because "plug fitted", and ended up with not working or fried device).. Most of them might be repaired.. But knowing where goes peoples knowleadge.. well.. You have to know specialists to repair som devics.

Sorry I guess my question is u no how consoles themselves can break down ? And stop working ? Can controllers stop working due too wear and tear ? and if so what happens in the future if they all do for the people who prefer using controllers ?

I always prefered xbox controller, until I used the dualsense for the first time. Now it is easily the best controller I have ever used. Also, speaking as someone who has both series x and ps5. I personally find the ps5 to be miles better. Even though gamepass is amazing, sony has been doing a far better job with the ps+ extra, I find it to be a lot better bang for my buck than the gamepass. I haven’t played my series x in about 4 months, and I am about to sell it. Meanwhile I daily drive my ps5. If I knew better back then I would never have bought a series x, even more so because of xcloud, if I wanna play some xbox game I just do it through cloud, and play the other games on the ps5.

I do, but I’m used to just plugging in my controller every night with PS4 and not worrying about its battery when I start a game. But with Xbox, I have to keep reminding myself to switch out the batteries which is not as simple as plugging in a device, which we are used to doing with our smartphones.
