That's what you would say at the time.

yes, i have all 3 and even though there’s a lot of games that are on all 3 of them, the exclusive ones are great and they all have unique aspects

bro what? Just because they’re older doesn’t mean they aren’t great

> crashes as much as series x (very little)

It crashes???? I've had systems for 30 years and the only "crash" I've ever had was when a disc laser was failing and the game froze. I've never had a system actually crash like a computer, wtf?

XCOM 2 is probably one of my all time favourite games of all time. I even bought it again on iPad just so I always have a copy of it to hand at any given time. The collection is an insanely packed game, with very challenging and diverse missions

I already have the Wii, Xbox 360, and the PS3 when it came out.

No man. Don't be so outdated. It's like buying pager in 2022.

Your trying to complete a collection of consoles from the same generation and wondering whether to to get closer to your goal or not and asking Reddit for advice? I mean obviously you should buy it tho

No

Yes

Emmm.. You want to finish collection of that specific generation, so... That question is as much obvious as pointless.. Yes,buy it, you want to finish collecting 7th generation.. For any other reason, game related, PS4 would be better option

No. Buy 7 of them so you have one for each day of the week.

Yes

If you're wanting PS2 & PS3 then you'll need a Steam Deck. None of the Anbernic or Retroid devices are powerful enough to run them.

Series S is game dev's worst nightmare. Less memory, worse gpu. It's the main reason games are not better right now, because we need to support that console.

The only marketing difference between the s and (X and PS5) is that it targets 1080p 60fps instead of 4k. It's not supposed to be a worse experience than a series X though... Just a very annoying target to support for game devs.

PS4 definitely wins over Xbox

It does, but PS has better exclusives, while Xbox provides better services Playstation has better content, i'll probably buy a PS4 for the exclusives.

Aah then game pass really makes more sense friend. You at least have access to some new games day 1

200$ difference is argument. I am really happy for people to whom that is insignificant amount but unfortunately for many it is a lot for the entertainment box.

LOL I too have a Series X and a PS5 (and a Series S, in fact I have almost every mainstream console ever made as well as an arcade machine that I built myself running emulators and of course a reasonably powerful gaming PC with a 3080ti), just so you know the developers moaning about the Series S holding back the generation was debunked multiple times now (the main one was a graphic artist I believe) digital foundry have done videos on the issue. The fact of the matter is that you may not like the low power on the Series S but that doesn’t make it a poor choice for most people, for instance are you happy with the low power (compared to a decent gaming PC) of your PS5 and Series S or are you just a (clearly broke) joker who is happy with the compromises a less powerful console gives you?

I have series X and PS5. I wouldn’t waste my time with a low performing console.

Xbox one X often hits higher resolution and has more compute units on the GPU.

OP - nothing wrong with a series S, but do not expect high performance moving forward.

There are plenty of developer videos bemoaning the series S. you won’t see third party releases hit 60fps moving forward.

Or you can believe these (clearly broke) jokers who bought a cheap console.
