It’s worth it man. I literally just did the same thing a few weeks not even joking. I’ve had an Xbox since I was like 8 and can’t believe that I have a ps now, but worth it all the way

Yeah, that would be the best option. And I have PC but I just enjoy the experience more on 4k TV and couch..

I do understand the point when people say "consider a PC, Sony will release it's exclusives eventually" but their ports lately requires absurdly expensive systems to get same or more performance than PS5. And when those exclusives "eventually" comes to PC, your godly gaming computer today will be mid or low tier by that time. That's why getting a PS5 if you're interested in their exclusives seems like the cheapest and best way to experience them in my opinion.
That being said, Xbox is really at a turning point right now. I expect many surprises from them besides the games they already announced. You might want to keep your XSX in the long run. TL;DR get ps5 but keep your Xbox if possible.

Well, which games are interesting you a lot then?
Something to consider might be switching to a gaming PC. Many of Sony's Playstation exclusives have been making their way to PC such as God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Spider-Man (plus Miles Morales), with plans for more ports in the future as well.
Not only that, but you'd also open yourself up to any PC games that aren't on either console. There's also a lot of games that if you own them on Xbox you can play it on PC as well: https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/games/xbox-play-anywhere
Most PC games that are also on console have controller support natively too, so you're golden with that familiarity, and you'd already have an Xbox controller that's compatible by Bluetooth.
If you needed help building a budget PC I could recommend a few parts.

Then it's worth it, IMO. Tons of great exclusives. Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne, The Last of Us, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. I would still keep the Xbox though.

Nothing I play is an exclusive to xbox, so I could buy the games I want again + The exclusives, but there is a waste

Just buy a PS5 disc version so you have both.

I mean, to be fair, they don't lose the games. If they were to ever switch back they could re-download their old games, except for maybe the saves in some. My guess is they aren't really playing many of them anyway if they wanna switch.
My personal recommendation is the same, though. If you can afford to keep both, that's the better option.

Only you can answer that. Depends which system has the most games you want to play, the best services for you, the better feeling controller and the best OS to use.
Personally my PS5 was a waste of money as there are no games on it I want, the analogue sticks are in a bad configuration, and the OS is rubbish, but you may like all those things
So yeah, it's up to you

At this point you're basically invested in the Xbox ecosystem, so I'd keep both if you don't wanna lose those 60 games. As someone who owns a PS5 and is a huge PS fan, I'd hold off on buying a PS5 because there just aren't enough exclusives at the moment to justify paying $500 and you can play most of those exclusives on the PS4 anyway. However, if you've never owned a PS4, then it might be worth it.

Do you need to sell the xbox due to financial reasons? If not, I would keep both to be honest. It isnt worth it to lose a library of 60 games

Better wait if you don't want to play remasters, remakes, reboots and other "re" BS...
I have it from day one (preorder) and still play majority of games on ps4 and xbox one x. I played few ps5 exclusives but for that it isn't worth it...could played them later on...imho
For me the only "next-gen" thing on ps5 is dual sense....everything else is 10% better PS4 Pro...

Better wait for more exclusives, but if you are like me, I bought it to play gowr then sold it
LLHSCKS t1_j6burvp wrote
Well the only thing it would be for is just the exclusives so is there exclusives that you would justify spending that much money for. I was always a PS fan boy but it was easier to get a series X so I got a series X and honestly I was again subscription services but game pass is so tremendously valuable that I love it and I ended up buying a PlayStation 5 as well for you know the Grand Turismo and stuff and it is nice because certain games go on sale at certain time so it is kind of it is nice but of course you pay a lot of much a lot of money up front

You need to replace the hard drive. I had to do the same late last year. It gets corrupted for some reason, unfortunately, and there is no way back.

Well the move would be to sell the ps4 and upgrade to the ps5. And I’m not sure if it’ll make a different hence my question in the post asking that hahaha

I would wait a while. If there aren't any PS5 exclusives you're dying to play rn then there's no need to buy it. Eventually later on if you absolutely want it, the new slim or pro or whatever might be out or you can buy a used one or digital.

Played the exclusives? And doesn’t the controller feels weird?
