PS5 or XBox Series X

[Polymathic]

Looking at MyBBs current pole

More than half of MyBB readers that are planning to upgrade to next gen plan to get a Xbox.

Have to say I'm surprised. I expected more people would want a Xbox in total but expected PS5 to be far more popular than the SX and the SS to be way more popular than it is now.

I'm surprised too. When I voted in that poll, PS5 was winning. I think people have finally figured out that the Microsoft Game Pass just can't be beat for value for money ... and Microsoft just keeps adding to it every single month.

Omg, will the little girls please take it outside and leave a tech thread about two awesome consoles to the people on the tech forum to enjoy? Neither side will win, suck it up.

Back on-topic, I wonder what the chances are that Cyberpunk's developers will use any of the PS5 controller's new abilities when they release their next-gen updates next year. Both that and Series X are running the game in backwards compat mode, which seems insane to me as the most highly-antipated game of the year. Or even adding an online gaming mode, like GTA:V or Read Dead Online.

You go play with your barbie dolls, Mr little Xbox fan. And one side will definitely win, so you suck on that

Yes, there is nothing strange about that poll compared to reality in the real world

Sorry man, couldn't hear you above all the coil whine noise

On a sad note, I didn't manage to secure a PS5. I have been checking all day and nothing popped up, didn't receive any notifications of stock either. All I can think is that the rumours were exactly that, rumours.

CD PROJEKT RED on Twitter: "1/2 Until now, the only thing we said about multi was that it was in R&D. As we’re getting closer to launching ‘single player’ Cyberpunk 2077 in Apr. 2020, we’d like to confirm that multiplayer's in the works!

Yeah that's an old story, posted by somebody else over a week ago.

The problem is both companies are selling out

Somebody already posted that story over a week ago, I'm pretty sure.

I'd be pretty shocked if Sony doesn't reach its sales target of 6.5 million by Easter.

If Sony doesn't sell at least 3 times the volume of Xbox's they might have something to worry about. Last round its estimated that PS4 did 155 m vs Xbox One's 43 m in the 7 years they been out. So only doing double might mean they losing ground.

Oh and just for comparison Nintendo Switch did 65 m in its 1st 3 years and still selling like hotcake taking the crown on Xbox/PS5 release last month. That might be because of stock outs but still impressive if you ask me as they not showing any sign on slowing down.

I still don't get the love for Nintendo, I get the Wii it was cheap and cheerful. But the switch isn't as powerful as the Xbox one OG, it's only feature is being able to become portable but it's priced at the One X price.
Do people like BOTW and Mario that much? Cause all cross platforms run like molasses

Not my cup of tea either but I know they make games more aimed at the family like Animal crossing.
The strangest thing I found about Nintendo is not the console sales its that you almost never see their games on sales.

Edit: Current top exclusives like:
Pikmin 3
Mario Kart 8
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Ring Fit Adventure
Pokemon Sword / Shield
Does not do it for me at all.... But I'm almost sure (After watching above) my wife should not know about em

They never have to have their games on sale, people will pay full price all the time for them by the looks of it. Nintendo has a weird stranglehold on people.

Jirre my ou. it looks like you trying to spin every story in a way that suits your narrative.
Was it not you that claimed Microsoft did not report sales and that the 43mil is not true?
Where do you get PS4 155m sales from? as what I know its more like 114m?

OOOh I forgot, you again want to make some ridiculous statement and to get to your three times argument you have to cook the books.

But I did mention previously it seems one's choice of console might be related to one's IQ

There was a study recently on IQ and choice of gaming console. PlayStation owners averaged about 1 point higher than Xbox owners if I recall correctly , but PC Master Race beat both (no surprise) and most of the Xbox owners here are also PC gamers.

That means the IQ stats are not on your side, Jean Claude VanDumb

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

There will be only one winner, the same as all previous generations. It is already clear who the winner will be............the same as previous generations.
All the polls from people sitting 24/7 on MB because that are bored with their game pass, means nothing in the real world.
Stop trying to spin new conspiracy theories. Go back to the basement for the next 7 years till Whatsyoumacallit Series 360 two Z comes out and try your luck again.

LOL to illustrate my point I would like you to post us a link to it. As it might be true, but I suspect your IQ inserted "and most of the Xbox owners are also PC gamers" and its not in the "study". To again spin a ridiculous argument.

Anyone with a bit of IQ will know that if you want to play PC and console you get a PS5. That is best of both worlds, Why would anyone want a Xbox and PC, it does the same games?

No, I’m just talking about Xbox owners here at MyBB, but you do have a point - PC gamers are more likely to opt for the inferior console (PlayStation) because of the exclusives, skewing the results and inflating the average IQ of PlayStation owners:

My bad. I used google search results... next time I'll use 3 different site to fact check.

Edit Oops looks like I used PS2 vs Xbox sales numbers....
PS2 155 vs Xbox 43
PS4 was 112 vs Xbox one 48

So just over double the sales.
Oh well still fact remains if they just doing double they might be slipping

Rumours are the next gen switch is going to be a beast and will be able to play games at 4K with the help of DLSS. The Nvidia Shield TV is a great showcase on how that tech works on a mobile processor.

So the next gen switch will be 12k and it will be just as powerful as an Xbox One X.
