PS5 or XBox Series X

[Polymathic]

Don't Xbox owners feel like Toyota owners? It does its job, but is kind of bland and nobody even care to have a look at it

I had a similar thought, the Series S is like a Toyota, the Series X is like a top the range Lexus and the PS5 is like a midrange BMW

I look forward to my brand new Supra arriving, thank you very much.

People who are going with the PS5 are either very brand loyal or they prefer the PS exclusives over the XBox exclusives. The XBox is the most powerful console, a much cheaper way to game and with all the purchases MS made, the best console to have if you want to play western RPG's. Bethesda, Obsidian, Inxile etc.

Out of interest's sake. Why did you go with the PS5 and not the XBox Series X? I just see so much more value in the Series X at this point in time. This is a question for all the PS5 people.

I see Splinter is rejuvenated after 3 days of rest.

Those Mark Cerny ASMR sessions sure did the trick

He addressed it already and I understand as well as support his choice.

Its for his kids that currently play:
Fortnight for free (No need for Xbox or PS monthly sub)
Fall Guy's not on Xbox.

2 Big shortcomings on Xbox that is currently the "In thing" among kids, and also comes back to my pet hate for exclusives, cause whats people like him gonna do when the new fever hits "next season" and tables turn in Xbox's favor, and yes I will still hate exclusive even if its Xbox only.

Like I said before, I can only say, why I love going what I am going for, no need for this you are dumb or simple minded cause you picked Option Z.

Im Lucky in that the 3 games I wanna play is actually on both:
Dirt 5, Cyberpunk 2077 and Destiny 2 <-- my drug of choice lately

<-- Send help

Edit: that 1700 hours is after it moved to Steam, I probably clocked about 2000 while it was part of Activision.

Many are invested in the system. They prefer the exclusive experience it offers over xbox. And close family and friends also buy the system out of loyalty so no one wants to be left out. But this applies for both PS and Xbox.

There are also many who aren't brand loyal. And will move to the platform which offers them the best deal/experience. Which is normally the case for most poeple.

Then you also obviously get the diehards/fanboys. That won't touch another system.

Some just prefer PS. Others prefer Xbox. Regardless of performance or exclusives.

In comparison to the PS5 the SX does look a little simple "bland". But then again..We don't tend to admire/look at the console when gaming. I think the screen should be the priority

If it doesn't take up space or make noise while i game I'm happy

I much prefer the design of the XSX, looks similar to my PC actually - minimalist and tucked away. The plastic on the PS5 makes it look cheap to me but will probably start to look really good once people start customizing panels etc.

I thought that the Playstation was the better machine for a long time - from PS2 to PS4

Everyone slammed the Xbox having to have to be online for the initial start up & setup of the console, there were all those people and critics that said the Xbox was a only online console when Sony wasn't ( They were ruthless ) Plus they laughed at the lack of games initially when the Xbox1 was released ... All these years later, those drawbacks are irrelevant and mean nothing.

Then I bought the xbox1 booted it up and sold my PS4 the rest is history and one thing I will say is never believe what others say unless you have given it a proper go

It wasn't as bad as people made it out to be ... Xbox is my BOOOI now - and the only reason I will go back to Sony is if I won a PS5 or got one for a gift, even so I'd sell it hahahahaha

Sony fanboys live in the past when the PS4 was the superior brand, but now things are a whole lot different imo... So all I can say to these hardcoretrollnoob fanboys is this...

Go and enjoy your exclusives, us MS boys will do exactly the same and enjoy our exclusives as well so you can stop playing that old song mkay.

Yes thanks that is my main reason. Also when the kids used to play on disk on PS3 and beginning with Ps4, their is just so much more to chose from PS in the secondhand stores and for cheap. Don't know if its only a SA thing?
But if the new in thing hits Xbox. I'm not to sure about. If its on Xbox wouldn't it be on pc and mobile also, so the kids can still play?

All your questions have been answered many times in this thread before, and you are stretching the truth a bit.

But I do love how say it's the most powerful console (the one with a 1080 UI), but MS themselves say they expect to sell more of the XSS, with only 4TF. And the proof of the pudding is still to be eaten to see how well games run on the respective consoles (Ps5 vs XSX).

But, to summarise:

- much better looking console
- more advanced controller
- more advanced audio tech
- far superior exclusives
- customisable panels in future
- no need to waste money on "hundreds" of games I will never play
- and, yet to be determined, my belief that it will be the better gaming console and gaming experience

One last thing - the Bethesda purchase - all those games are still available to PS5. It's only years from now that MS will be able to block future releases from PS. Note that this is not creating exclusives for MS; merely buying them. The sort of exclusive content you MS chaps always claimed to hate

LOL I just love the way people are throwing around the "Xbox is the most powerful" before any comparisons have been made.
What will win around a track. A Dodge Viper with 8L engine or a average Ferrari with a 4.5L engine?

LOL I will say it again. These Xbox fanboys are funny. They sat in their basements for years and now they are all over the show before we can compare apple with apples. Maybe they know what's coming and want to have their say before the have to descent back to the basement.

Oh yes, what Xbox exclusives?

A Question I Can’t Answer: What Will I Be Playing On Xbox Series X For Launch Week?

During the launch week of Xbox Series X and PS5, what games seem like they're must-plays on Xbox over PlayStation and PC? I'm still trying to figure that outl.

On the other hand, I will be dipping into Spider Man and Godfall on release day

To each their own... I prefer my console not to look like a cheap Chinese router knock off just 100x times bigger. Meh.

This:

Because YOLOexclusivezrockslurvpaystationz !

Seriously, even with MS' Bethesda + friends acquisition, you can't compare the exclusives. Polished titles like GoW, Uncharted and TLOU, and probably H:ZD vs the jank-fests that Bethesda have churned out over the years?

Of course Doom is another story, but I wouldn't ever play something like that with a controller.

Demons Souls!

The only real loss when going PS5-only are the Obsidian and inXile games.

Oh, that and the fact that I have become a proper PC gamer since I got married and have to play my console games in my study. Why use a console when your PC is only 2m away? (Hint: Consoles are only there for the games not available on PC)

Of course it's more powerful. It has been shown now multiple times.

Ponies : We don't play old games, we don't need backwards compatibility

Also Ponies : Demon Souls on PS5 hell yeah, and that's the old PS3 game with a new coat of paint for 70 US

My 1st ever console was an Xbox. Was mostly used as a DVD player with the DVD kit add-on but I do have fond memories of playing some games on it. (Halo anyone?)
Upgraded to 360 soon after it was released (Bloody 20 gig HD expansion slot was awesome)
Bought a PS3 later because of fking exclusive <--- Sadly I cant even recall the game I bought it for.
Got the red ring on the 360 and got a new one with a 120 that was on a Special

After that I bought a Wii cause my GF at the time was all like "ooh we can exercise while playing games".... that only lasted about 2 months at the most, ended up being a Rockband machine and don't get me wrong it was a hit at braai's, camping and other meets.

The PS3 died at one stage and I bought the slim or maybe subconsciously I broke it to get a Slim... who knows. The PS4 was out at the time so I got the PS3 really really cheap. During this PS4/Xbox1 round all my time was sucked up with Guild Wars 2 so I decided to go F this generation, who needs a new console.

When I moved back to SA I left the 360 behind cause extra weight. Had the PS3 for another year and then gave it to a friends son when his broke, I didn't use it anyway.

I since got a proper Media PC and started retro gaming on it using emulators... Problem is the Mrs is taking up the Media PC so I can't Retro game now even if I wanted to

Soooo Xbox Series S is here... it is cheap, I can move it between Bedroom and Main TV(Both 1080p) when Mrs is not hogging the main, I can game on it and is backwards compatible... color me SOLD

If I ever get sooped up into console gaming again I might even buy a PS5... but I doubt it will happen in the next 2 years or before the next redesign... so.
