Worked in tech support for 10 years and most people don’t even know how to find a file if they don’t open it right after it’s downloaded. Not bashing pc gaming at all but those of us who have been doing it a long time take that little knowledge for granted, it’s definitely not as straight forward for the average person as most of us think.

That said with a bit of research and dedication or access to someone close with that knowledge it’s definitely worth it.

If Microsoft aquire Activision by June which they reckon they will, then I'd say owning an xbox will give you an advantage when xbox makes those future games exclusive, imo its inevitable they will do it even though they say they won't, or at least charge the competitors to have it on their software

Of course it does

The PS5 is already showing signs it's shader starved with lower native resolution, more framerate issues especially in high framerate titles

This is also before we see any DX12 Ultimate based games which will allow the use of the rDNA2 hardware features.

We haven't seen a gap so large between vendors so far the previous gen was just 4CUs either way advantage on GPU, XSX has a 16CU advantage over the PS5

It is a better deal to get an Xbox because the Xbox has more storage than the PS5 and is cheaper and lets not even get started about the Nintendo switch. The Switch has far worse specs than the Xbox and the PS5

With a PC you will get all the benefits of PC plus xbox titles. If you don't have/want a PC, xbox is a great console.

With a PS5 you will get all the sony exclusives, some of which are really really good and don't come to PC until later.

Switch should be looked at as exclusively hand-held for nintendo titles. If you're not a nintendo junkie and don't travel frequently I wouldn't get it, especially with the steam deck out now. The system is horribly underpowered and runs everything worse than all other systems. On a full-size screen it looks bad because of its 720/1080p max res. The app-store sales are terrible, better prices everywhere else.

​

So in short I'd choose PS5 or xbox (leaning towards PS5) and then the steam deck if you need portability. Switch for nintendo games.

ive never been to india, But in canada i can buy a ps3 and controllers for 40$ and a pack of smokes If you are moving there permenently mabye buy a new one there

Otherwise use your clothes to pack the console, Wrap it in your shirts seperate from the controllers, And leave a cheap CD in it, That will help protect the lasers

Good luck!
