PS5 or XBox Series X

[JasonK]

I’m looking more and more forward to both console releases as time goes on. Not so I can actually play on and compare the consoles, I’m just sure splinter is gonna be a lot quieter. Hopefully he’ll be playing his exclusives too much to troll myBb or he’ll be eating humble pie.

You misunderstood friend. Games and controllers are counted in my post. But they are subject to personal preference. Some like the DualShock. Other prefer the Xbox controller. Same with games. We don't all play the same stuff.

And again. We can't say which is better because it's a moot point. Because just like the controllers and games the platform itself is subject to the same personal preference? So the only way to look at it is from a performance perspective. Both have advantages. And we don't know which will run games better? The SSD speed you keep referring to is counted in because it forms part of performance. We know the technical difference already. We'll see if it makes a difference or not. Do you understand now?

Some will care about the theoretical performance gap the consoles might have. Others won't. That's all it is. Preference.

I don't misunderstand. You ascribe them to personal preference, but then want to remove personal preference from the debate.

Sorry, gave my PS2, PS3 and PS4 away.

Gave PS away. But trying to sell Xbox One X

I wasn't selling it until I got contacted by you-know-who asking if I wanted to sell it. In fact. I got contacted by someone else first as well, but didn't bother. It was only after thinking about it just sitting there, gathering dust, that I thought it might be better to sell.

Besides, I gave the PS's away to family and friends, who I want to stay in the PS camp

Fortunately not.

How am i removing personal preference if i say that all of us have different preferences when it comes to platform?( Which includes games and controllers,) That was my whole point regarding your buddies post. Because we're all different and that's why some play on playstation and others on xbox?

You just removed controllers and games out of it because of "personal preference". The point is that more (double) people "preferred" the PS4 because it was a better gaming experience. You can argue this till you are blue in the face, but it's not going to change anything.

PS4 only won cause Microsoft let them win.

Xbox One launch went all on about always online DRM, more expensive + weaker console. Forcing you to buy a Kinect no one wanted and topped it off with no backwards compatibility on 360 games at launch to boot. Lets not talk about killing the second hand market with 1 time activation.

And they knew it

They deserved what was handed to them this generation, an ass whipping of note, and it looks like It paid off as they came back swinging with waaay better deals and options than the competition.

Exactly. Because if you ask the players on here which controller is better or which games is the best you'll get different opinions. That's the whole point.

Not quite. Two to one sales show superiority, and not just debate as to the better controller.

Oh dear, this lame excuse again. Refer my previous post where PS3 came back. No reason the Xbox couldn't, except for the fact that it was the inferior gaming experience.

Came back... HAHAHAHAHA, good one.

They way you harping on the Xbox is bad and Microsoft is the devil makes me believe you the one kid in school who had an Xbox One while all our friends where jamming it up on the PS4 network, esp seeing that you still sporting one.

Time to move on kid, time to move on

at 900p

I can't remember but I'm pretty sure the resolution was probably locked but 900p was overly optimistic for the power the XB1 had.

LOL and now PS4 beat Xbox because of better advertising? WOW one of the biggest companies in the world cant do advertising? Sure keep telling yourself that.
Funny how all the Xbox fanboys suddenly came out their basements after a few years. Because now they can speculate on the unknown. Within a year they will fade slowly to their basements again till a few months before their next gen hype.

And then a question. I see people here saying that Sony concentrate on hardware sales and MS not. So please explain to me. As I understood it, Sony make little profit on PlayStation and maybe even sell them at a loss? Or is that not true?

No boet, we don't come from our basements ,we come from Bloemies ek se !! rememer !!!

Link where we said MS don't focus on hardware sales, please

Any " genius " would know that the console business means most of time the machines are sold at a loss and the profit is made from GP and PS+, game sales etc

Oh, the burn.

I wish you chaps would stick to facts. Where have I said Xbox is bad? I'm saying PS is better...

And I'm sure you'd like me to move on, seeing you keep on getting squished in these debates

And you are denying now that PS3 outsold the X console? See, I can't even remember its name
