Depends what kinda players you are talking to. Xbox is a major thing where I live and everyone has one (I used to but then got the PS5). Playstation gets hard dissed around here. But online I have seen a lot of hate for Xbox.

It’s alright to have some friendly competition between consoles because that is what inspires the other to thrive and continue. Players are only hostile because they like to defend what their favourite is, companies like Xbox & Playstation need hardcore (and sadly hostile) fans because although they are aggressive, they are loyal. They will buy your new products and never buy the rivalling console. Once you lose your hostile & protective fanbase, that is when you need to worry.

So, in short, that is why the behaviour is still tolerated by games companies & why players are hostile to players from other consoles: loyalty.

>After spending three years in Nagoya, I found many Japanese people to be very ordered and disciplined regarding their possessions and living arrangements. Whenever Japanese friends visited my apartment, often the ladies would politely start tidying up, and cleaning my mucky kitchen. I'm guessing this is why the items for sale are in super condition.

Sir, cut the shit.

With Gamepass you’ll benefit on both PC and the series X, alongside the cloud gaming it offers to boot as well. As you have a decent gaming pc I’d wager that Xbox is the better choice here, if only for the flexibility it’ll offer you in how you engage the content you want.

I mean, you can go on the PS store and find lots of indie games with terrible graphics and performance (and lots of great ones too), if you are talking about bigger titles the the recently released Gotham Knights had some pretty bad performance issues but this is mostly down to optimisation rather than the PlayStation struggling with the graphics. The PS5 (and Series X for that matter) are basically equivalent to a mid range PC from about 2 years ago, fantastic bang for your buck though. Bad graphics tend to be more about the developer rather than the hardware, either a game is not well optimised, not well funded, not well designed or overly ambitious, perhaps even a combination of all of these and ‘bad’ is also subjective , some people think 30fps games are bad and janky but others are fine with it

All games have areas of ‘bad’ graphics, even something that looks as great as Horizon Zero Dawn has some issues with shimmer around some objects that could be equated to being bad, it’s the overall look and feel of a game that’s more important visually, it’s worth noting that great graphics means nothing if the game itself isn’t good.
