The PS has such a big user base, I don't see many people switching to MS. MS has one very nice thing though:

Game pass

Yes game pass then you can play Tetris for free.
You just need a pc or old gen console to play the old games on game pass

Just because the PS5 is more popular doesn't mean it's better.

If I had to get a console it would be the Xbox One X for Game Pass and better performance in nearly all benchmarks as reviewed by Digital Foundry;

Did it ever occur to anyone that the shortage is the problem of low sales numbers everywhere, and i wouldnt be surprised that they neglected japan too, they screwed over gamers and their own people. I still cant find a ps5 thats not due for preorder in march, im also the type of person that would rather buy it in a shop than have it delivered.

Low sales numbers? They're selling out in minutes when there is stock.

This is standard at each new console generation launch really, it takes a while before the supply chain can cope with the demand.
