If you’re concerned about performance - get neither and build a PC which beats them for $600-800.

All Xbox exclusives are on PC, both controllers work on PC and most PS5 exclusives have come or are coming to Steam (GoW, TLOU, Spider-Man, Horizon)

Games are also significantly cheaper and online play is free, so the extra spend would be made back quite quickly. You also get permanent backwards compatibility.

120fps performance is equal on both, with the PS5 just now getting VRR support.

The Xbox has more support for older 360, OG Xbox games — so your library is slightly bigger to pick from. The PS5 has some BC, but it’s mostly via streaming.

Both consoles are generally going to look identical, with the Xbox offering slightly (emphasis on that) higher resolution at times.

That being said, the PS5 controller is much, much better than the Xbox. That is something to think about.

Yes get the PS5 for the excellent aaa exclusives, the convenience and all round less hassle of a console, no hackers ruining games, having the option of buying physical, backwards compatibility with PS4, split screen/local co-op, portability, exclusivity deals/content and you will find that the big developers along with most Japanese games will tend to prioritise PlayStation over PC.

Ahh, the good ol' 8th generation.

  1. Xbox One (2nd greatest console of all time imo)

  2. Wii U (5th greatest console of all time imo)

  3. PS4 (Doesn't break the top 10, still a great console tho)

if you choose Xbox One, you can run Xbox Series games via cloud gaming. Btw why dont you pick Xbox Series S instead of them? The cost is the basically the same 🤷‍♂️
