I wown both consoles, both are great in their own way.. but I would recommend Xbox simply for the value of game pass, it’s such a great way to get into console gaming at a more affordable price point should that be an area your looking at.. PlayStation has a couple of fantastic single player games but if I’m being honest they aren’t earth shattering like some of the internet would have you believe! Having said all that, whatever you choose will turn out well for you I am sure

Edit: I should mention the controllers, the Xbox controllers offset analog sticks are a more comfortable fit for me at least, but the ps5 controller has a few gimmicks like adaptive triggers for example which while they are neat.. I’m one to always turn off vibrations on my controllers because they are annoying 😂

What's your idea? Single player experiences or multiplayer? Do your friends play games so that you can choose your console based on what they have?

If you want to play with friends just buy the same as them. But if you want single player experiences, PS5 has better games objectively speaking. In the last 10 years, apart from Forza Horizon, there's literally no Microsoft's exclusive better than a Sony's one. It's not even a competition, Sony does better games. If you like story driven third person games, Sony has the best ones. If you like FPS, PS5 has access to the main FPS games, the same happens to very single game genre possible apart from racing where Forza Horizon is easily the best racing franchise for the last 10 years (unless you like racing simulators, then you can play Assetto Corsa and games like that on your PS5 too). So yeah, what I'm saying is, buy the PS5

It's definitely not a flop nor is it barely an upgrade. Idk what you're reading and who you're listening to. Games run smoother, faster, look better, are more immersive, and this generation only just began. Look at all the best PS4 games, most came out many years after the system was released.

PS5 has sold over 30 million units and Xbox has sold over 20 million so tons of people have switched, it's actually about on par with the last gen despite all the global problems. You can't ignore the fact that this gen came out during a pandemic, supply chain and chip shortage and judging this generation right now is ridiculous.

And if you believe this gen isn't any better than why do you care how much it costs, you don't need to upgrade 😂
