Let's see: A console with a service that gives you access to hundreds of games

Or

A console with 5 games

I own PC (7900xt) and PS5.

If you thought console afforded you settings toggles on older games, then you were misinformed. Only certain games have been patched for new gen.

The PS5 can only play PS4 games physically, and PS3 games with a subscription.

The Xbox Series X/S can play all Xbox One games, most Xbox 360 and a good number of original Xbox games, with the only cost being the game itself.

The Xbox definitely has better backwards compatibility.

I'm pretty much exclusively a console gamer, and I've not yet been able to justify upgrading from my Xbox One. The RE4 and Dead Space remakes are the first games where I genuinely feel like I might be missing out on something, and I can't justify buying a whole new machine just for those.

Ultimate doesn’t come with a console it’s a monthly subscription…

Yea, it was way more than I thought when I looked it up a few months ago. It's down to around 10 or 15 now that some have since been released on other platforms (returnal, Kena, deathloop, etc). Doesn't include games on PS4 so GoW/Horizon aren't counted. And I guess you could technically add the PSVR2 exclusives to the list since a PS5 is required and they can't be played anywhere else.

Are there that many more on PS5? God of War and Horizon aside, I hadn’t noticed, and even they are on PS4 aren’t they?

Series X only has about 3 games that aren't playable on last gen, and it's weird that no one talks about it. They're actually starting to artificially generate exclusivity by not releasing xbox one versions of games that are available on ps4.

I was a little disappointed in PS5's 20-30 current-gen exclusive lineup (even though they do have some GOTY winners and nominees). But when I looked it up, I saw it was 5 or 6 times more than Xbox.

The Xbox series X plays a ton of older games at upscale resolutions and faster frame rates. It was the deciding factor for me.

But seriously only thing that is stopping me from getting a ps5 is that does it have as consisten frames as xbox x? If it doesn't I'm getting x

The PS5 controller is great and Xbox has benefits as well such as Gamepass.

You are disappointed that you did zero research before making this big purchase? Bummer.

thank you man I really mean it you've made me choosing it less difficult thx man

Day one series X. Still not sure I’ve played anything I couldn’t have played on my One.

Don’t get me wrong, I love it, the load times alone are such a QOL improvement, but yeah, the generational leap seems largely irrelevant. Not sure a PS5 would have been any better from that perspective.

I prefer console gaming over PC and don't think you can go wrong with either the XSX or PSS5.

I don't recall current gen consoles being promoted to run old games at 4K and 120fps, in fact I've never heard of anyone buying a current gen console to play old games.

Ratchet and Clank is a crazy looking game takes full advantage of the PS5 capabilities.Look it up on you tube.

buy a ps5 or series x

Gamepass is not tied to hardware, but to an account, and selling an account is a risky business.

On the surface, it can look like a downgrade. However, game developers are trying to get Microsoft to drop the series S. The reason is Microsoft insist that all games that come out on the series X must be compatible with the series S, which is only a little more powerful than a last-generation console.

I would say take the PS4 and the games.

PS4 with PS+ Extra will get you some mileage if you want the last generations exclusives, but if you have to trade in the series S it probably is t worth it
