Ps5, you most likely already have a nice library of games from your ps4, and honestly I had both the series x and the ps5 since released, was luck enough to get both day 1. And I just sold my series x cause I hardly ever used it. And one the ps+ extra came along, I pretty much never turned my xbox on again.

I've had mine since launch and in my opinion it's an absolute masterpiece. I've had so much fun with mine and it's seen a lot more use than my PS4 Pro. But everyone has different preferences for their own reasons, which is why it's no good asking someone to decide for you.

EDIT: I realised I'm curious why you're disappointed. What did you expect from it that it doesn't provide?

Imma get an Xbox Series S because if it doesn’t support most of the old games we have we will just play both, the Series S and the 360. Thanks for the advice everyone :D

Series S definitely.

Not worth it to buy a last gen console now especially with the Series S available, they won't be supporting last gen for much longer I feel.

I got a Series S and it was a great choice!

Flight simulator, monkey Island, phantom abyss, plague tale requiem, scorn, medieval dynasty, slime rancher 2, deathloop, Shipbreaker, metal hell slinger, immortality, this war of mine, F1 2021, mlb the show, crusader Kings 3, shredders, serious Sam 4, rift breaker, recompile,... Granted many you may not want to play, although this is just the game pass list.. If you wan hogwarts thats not for xbox one gen, or dead space remaster.. There's loads on the horizon that are not coming to the last gen.. So my message to the original poster... Don't buy a xbox one.. Its quite simple

I see your point, but i feel like the Video might have been a bit biased, because CPU does often matter a lot. There are of course instances where series s runs at below 1080p but it usually runs at 60 fps or at least stable 30. An example of CPU differences is Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. It has a 1080p Performance mode on series s and on one x and on series s it's locked 60, while it is 35-50 on one x.

Also that quick resume is one of the best features of Series consoles, love it on my series... doesnt always work (im looking at you Halo) but when it does its such a fantastic feature

Yeah I get what you mean. The video I saw actually replaced the internal drive and put the OS on it. Their point was that the one x had games improved specifically for it, So it ran better on most games, had the higher resolution and was now just as quick. where as the series s is in a weird middle ground where some of the games perform like trash because they made them with series x in mind and unless you’re playing games like Warzone with a very heavy cpu load they said it the cpu didn’t really make a difference.

Xcloud is still obviously a beta product and not fully realised. The experience is real hit and miss. Some titles stream well with out too much latency others are a shit show. It suffers real bad from artifacts, and low resolution and when that latency is bad its not playable. To be fair xcloud does have a future but MS are holding it back, to unleash it fully would obliterate xbox sales, and to unleash it fully is very expensive.. They are not ready yet to do that yet... For the best cloud gaming experience geforcenow is the best in town.. What plays on there is only bettered on a 2k gaming pc, but there's just not enough titles for most people. Expensive as well at 20 per month for the tier most would want.

You said games are only xcloud and can't be downloaded, you didn't say they can't be downloaded on the previous gen or mention gens at all in relation to the cloud. Games being cloud only and current gen only are 2 different statements.

Xcloud when I used it was great except for a few bugs. I have used both one s and series s and one s has most of the features that series s excluding quick resume and like you said downloading the newer games but new games are some times underwhelming. You can still download great games like dishonored 1 and 2, halo infinite and many multi-player games on the one s
