Honestly your best bet for temps would be in-depth Thermal imaging videos on YouTube.

I can certainly say my Xbox feels cooler in general and that could be for a number of reasons, my PS5 doesn’t exactly get hot and is only noisy when the disc drive spools which isn’t very often, even with a disc based game.

Generally all I care about is hot air being pushed out, which both do fine !

Which console tends to run cooler?

It matters and once you get better…it’s hard to go back

The build quality doesnt matter because theyre all pretty much the same. If you care about exclusives get a ps5 if you dont get an xbox

Unless you get massively unlucky then yeah. I've seen them infested with roaches with tomato soup inside and they still work great. Smelled terrible, but worked.

Not when you haven't had a console since 1998. Probably before you were born lol

Does no one play 120?

Which console runs cooler?

I literally can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 so I don't care at all

I have no idea which console is built better but all i can say is that i'm happy with my PS5. I have 0 issues so far (i bought it last year)

So you think they are both sturdy enough and well built as long as you take care of them?

Definitely Xbox Series X :) pls buy an Xbox

Lol okay girl boss

This isn't a bait thread. I'm genuinely interested because I'm a former pc gamer who's going back to console. So I'm trying to get my ducks in a row on which console I want to buy with my tax return money. I haven't had a console since 1998. To be honest, I don't know anything about the modern day console. But I know they both seem to be good consoles with their own sets of pros and cons.

I’m on my second PS5

First Series X

PS5 just started shutting down randomly, I’m normally inquisitive enough to strip apart a console but having it die in two years with my light gaming? Yeah, wasn’t best pleased but that’s tech for you.

Both consoles are just really, luck of the draw. I could say SX all day yet you go buy one and it die the next day.

I’ve seen PSU failures for both, lasers and the Liquid Metal thing on PS5 etc

It is what it is - a lot of people are going to brush the Liquid TP aside but yeah I’ve put mine horizontal, if it turns out to be a load of crap? I know I was safe.

If I get 60 fps and don't lose much, then it's worth it. But take Apex on Switch for example. The game looks like trash, with what seems to be lowest settings, and if that wasn't enough, the resolution is so bad that I have a hard time seeing anything. And it's 30 FPS. In a case like that, I would totally take the 30, because 60 fps would mean lowering the settings even further. And at that point it'd in playable.

But since I've been a Switch player for a while, I don't mind having to run lowest settings + 30 FPS + 720p

Honestly GTA 5 for old old gen still looks good and the online seemed to run smoother than that on base PS4 and Xbox one

36 fps gang :gigachad:

can't you infect me with that mentality, because I'm quite envious of that opinion.

I honestly dont care. I dont actually see the difference between the two unless im actually looking for differences. I just want to play good games, not games that have the "best graphics" or the "best framerates".

Even GoW I can't play it with 30fps it ruin my experince of the game.

Not usefull at all, not only do you not know what you're talking about, but you also just sound like an xbox fanboy.

I am, I sit on computer chair all day, my ass hurts. I wanna lay on my couch and relax.
