I’ve always been a PlayStation guy, but just about every PS exclusive worth owning the console for is no longer. Between game pass and Bethesda moving to Microsoft, why shouldn’t I switch to Xbox?

I've always bought both each console generation but right now I only own a Series X and I love it. Game Pass is a phenomenal value and the system runs great. I'm sure I'll pick up a PS5 eventually but there are really only about 4 PS5 exclusives (so far) that I have any interest in.

Series X but that mainly because I’ve had Xbox along with all my friends. On top of that Gamepass and cloud gaming are the future of the indistry. And with Microsoft buying up these big gaming companies, it’s becoming more and more obvious they are trying to spend Sony out of the market. Which they can do with relative ease if they want to

i'll tell you what... you go get your xbox, and leave the PS5s for the people that want a quality console.

we'll sit over here enjoying our games from:


Naughty Dog
Santa Monica Studios
Sucker Punch
Insomniac
Bend Studio
Guerilla Games
Polyphony


all the while talking with our friends via the upcoming Discord app on the PS5. so yeah, go get your shite-Box and leave the PS5s for the people that truly want one.

I think it depends on what you want to play. I feel like PS5 has better exclusives in the pipeline, but X-Box has that excellent streaming subscription service. If you’re into rpg’s, I’d go PS5, but otherwise, probably X-Box

Isn’t every game worth having on Xbox also available on PC?

If you have a good rig then why bother with a console?

PS5 + PC gets you best of both worlds fwiw

Essentially. In which case, Microsoft still wins. Microsoft has gone beyond the “Xbox vs PlayStation” console war. They know that if they make the Xbox software and cloud gaming reliable enough to be an app that’s downloaded to PC, TVs and phones, then its game over.

That’s what they are moving towards. And when it happens, Sonys gaming division is going to be fricked. Nintendo is going to be the only physical console sold widely in 10 years I feel like. Microsoft has been trying to go online all the time for a decade now because they know the direction everything is going. They just jumped the gun too soon.

Am I wrong?

Selling more consoles isn’t the goal at this point. That’s like a team bragging about winning 20-0 on Friday night but then they lose Saturday and Sunday.

lol if you have a suitable PC... Just use the PC and get xbox game pass and that's all you need. No PS5 necessary. If you don't have a PC just get the Xbox. You'll thank yourself in a few years

The people acting like “lol Xbox sucks. Just get a PC and PS5” don’t realize that they’re still giving Microsoft money and playing into their game

Ah, the Playstation minions and their last hurrah

Get what you want, but Sony has peaked. Before you lovers get your panties all bunched, Sony still has some life left. It has peaked though and is a dying breed.

Microsoft has a gaming vision, Sony has really fast IOPS and some exclusives they will not you have unless you pay full price.
