I would recommend the xbox Series S yes it may not have the graphics like the series X and ps5 but I still runs all the new Gen games pretty well. And it's more affordable to buy than the series x and ps5 so I say it's a win for the series S in my books especially if pricing is an issue.

Thanks. I was really looking at one potentially for Redfall and a few other exclusive X-box console drops (that is, only available on PC or XBox), but otherwise, I've been pretty happy with what I could do between my PS farm and my PC. I really want to play Redfall on a console but probably not worth investing in another system just for one game. OTOH if Elder Scrolls 6 is XBox only, I'll be first in line to get one.

I’ve been PS all my gaming life and love it BUT after buying a PS4 a MONTH before they dropped the PRO, I decided to get an Xbox to “break up the monotony” and to have a system that could handle a higher graphic output then my PS4. I got the Series X and don’t regret it but I’m a big fan of Fable, Alice, bejeweled and older titles offered by game pass.

The game pass is great for variety and I like the fact I can control my console and downloads from my phone but I don’t think it would stop me from getting a PS5 Pro when it drops.

If you like those types of games, go for it but otherwise, you might feel like it’s a waste of money.

I think personally, it’s really down to what benefits you’d get out of buying another console.

  1. Look at what friends play, if it’s an Xbox then consider an Xbox. (Also cool if you play solo)

  2. What more do you get from an Xbox. A few extra Microsoft exclusive games? Consider to yourself if you’d be willing to pay the money for an Xbox and only really gaining the ability to play those games. Everything else is practically the same.

  3. Finally, Consider alternative options. Think about a decent pc, or a switch to play Nintendo games. Consider weather or not an Xbox is truly what you want or if something else may interest you.

If all three points still have you interested in getting an Xbox then I’d say go for it.

IMO it really boils down to if there are games on Xbox that you really want to play and can't get on PS. That and if you have the time to split between games on multiple systems. That last thing is why I choose to stay with XBox for the time being, at least. I have a PS3, but I almost never finished games on that console because so much of my time was being spent on my 360 or XB1.

i have had playstation all my life, and recently bought a series s cause my friends all had xbox and i’ve really enjoyed the xbox, with game pass and everything i haven’t payed for very many games, the only downside to the series s i have is the 512 gb storage which isn’t nearly enough but other than that i’ve haven’t regretted getting an xbox at all

As for which model to get, the Xbox Series X and Series S are the current models available. The Series X is the more powerful of the two, with better graphics and faster loading times. It also has a built-in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, which is great for those who want to watch movies and TV shows in 4K.
