Reply to Which console to buy as my first ever - XBOX Series X or PS5? by AdeptnessSlight1431

Having both they both have their pros and cons as explained by others. I like to add only the following:

The PS5 controller has adaptive resistance triggers which are a game changer especially in driving games like GT7, but I always found the Xbox controller fits my hand better and I prefer the analog sticks arrangement better.

Xbos has a bigger library of games on its pass, plus you get some promo stuff every month, for example it recently had a 3 month trial for Apple TV and Music, as well as bundles for games, like coins, resources etc. Of the two, xbox has the better subscription and you'll need one regardless of the console if you want to play online.

Also PS5 supports (PS)VR, Xbox doesn't support any VR.

Reply to My PlayStation. Owned since new! by Dedward5

This is my PlayStation. I owned since I bought it all those years ago. Not sure how close this was to launch but I remember them being in short supply and I phoned round all the shops in town and found this is a backstreet independent.

I don’t normally keep stuff so we’ll, all the original manuals and disks are there (I think) so it’s a real survivor.

The last of us part 1 and 2 are my favourites of all time. Beautiful games, incredibly emotional and they take you on a depressing journey that moved me so much.

I would also recommend the uncharted franchise, made by the same people as the last of us, more action.

Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful samurai game about someone who has to betray all their moral codes they’ve learned to with with. The gameplay, story and world is incredible.

Bloodborne is a souls like so not for everyone, but the atmosphere is incredible. It’s dark and gothic.

Infamous Second son is a great superpower game, great open world and fun story.

God of War as a franchise is phenomenal, brutal hack and slash gameplay and a fun story. 2018 and Ragnarok are even better than the originals and have a much more in depth combat system and story.

They’re my top playstation exclusives. I can give other game recommendations that aren’t exclusives too if you’d like :)

The PS5 has all of the PlayStation exclusives, most are considered some of the best games of all time and are critically acclaimed. So considering you’ll have access to all of the current and last gen games as well as the PlayStation exclusives, you’ll have the biggest and best library.

Both Xbox and PlayStation have a “game pass” which allow you to pay a monthly fee to access hundreds of games, including the exclusives.

Backwards compatibility is a massive selling point for the Xbox but you said that wasn’t something you were interested in.

Xbox has slightly better performance at the cost of a smaller library and no access to any of the phenomenal exclusives PlayStation has.

That being said Xbox does have its exclusives like Gears and Halo. Unfortunately most of the big Xbox exclusives have underperformed and not garnered the critical acclaim the PlayStation ones have.

So it’s really up to whether you want a bigger library and access to some of the best games available on the market. Or a slightly smaller library, unable to access the exclusives with better performance.

I own both consoles and personally PlayStation is the main pick solely because of the exclusives. My favourite game of all time is a PlayStation exclusive and I’d prefer to have access to them, than to not.

Both are great consoles though.
