no

I have both and lean xbox. You can go from xbox to xbox to computer and your save info is just there it’s so easy. Also all the backwards compatible stuff if you bought a 360 game 15 years ago poof it’s right there. I’d say if you want to play horizon zero dawn, God of War, or Spiderman, get the ps5. There’s really no wrong answer they are both awesome.

PS Plus essential has 760 games to play right now. Pick the one with the games you want to play!

A gift is a gift. You are not entitled to one. You will hurt them no matter your delivery so it is up to you.

Just open the conversation with love and understanding.

>I know you were trying to make me happy and I am really happy that you thought of me. I'm not sure I'll be able to get much use out of it, could we collaborate on another gift?

Or something like that.

They're not the biggest fans of video games so I guess because Nintendo is defacto "video game company" they felt like I would like the system. It's not their fault I feel like they assumed well.

I don't want to hurt their feelings because I feel like it would be rude to return a gift but at the same time I don't feel right about them spending money on something I wouldn't use.

I think it would be wise to talk to them openly. Especially be open about the things you like and dislike so they don't get you a gift you don't want in the future. I don't mean just once. I mean in general. Communicate with people. Tell them about yourself. Listen to what they tell you. The problem is not you or them, it's communication. Another suggestion for the future is to make a big wishlist for your birthday or Christmas that hopefully people use as a guide when buying a gift.

As long as you aren't a jerk about it I don't see a problem with telling them thanks, but you won't use it enough to justify their gifting it. I would also keep in mind the sequel to BOTW is coming out in May & will only be on Switch if you have any interest in that.

As long as you don't present it in a rude way I can't see why they would have any issue with it.

Could hurt theie feelings I wouldn't but that's just me.

If you prefer digital the Xbox probably the way to go. Especially since it has expansion storage slot for SSD which is important if you don’t wanna uninstall games to make room. Plus gamepass

The series X for me

Maybe decide whether you want to play on a controller with offset analog sticks or in-line sticks. That is what your decision seems to come to. Both consoles can play the kinda of games you outlined. Get whichever you like the look of honestly. But make sure to play on a 4ktv to get the most out of whichever you choose.

I would also add Civilization VI to the Xbox. It is identical to the PC version and adapted very well to the controller. I play several strategy and empire building games all on my Series X.

If you like strategic and multiplayer games, I think the best option is Xbox Series X. Age of Empires II came on January and the controls adapted to console are great. Moreover, Gears Tactics and Halo Wars are good additions to the RTS games.

You also have other kind of games like Cities: Skylines, Shadowrun Trilogy, Minecraft and other similar games on Gamepass.

Nonetheless, if you prefer 3rd person narrative games, like God of War, The Last of Us or Horizon Zero Dawn, as well as JRPGs, I would go with PS5.

Iv got a series S.. But currently on the look out for a second hand Ps4, the S is great, but Last of Us, God of War, spiderman & streetfighter is something I always felt left out on.

And I have over 200 games in boxes

Just impressed by your collection, but I don‘t Even have that much Space for all of them

I‘d get the Digital Version of the PS5 if I go for the ps I think. I don‘t wanna use any space in my small Apartment for physical games.

What

Oh lord 😂

Well I guess I hope someone will bring up some eye opening arguments that would give me a clear tendency. I‘m not a person who spends crazy amounts of time on playing games and when I got the switch last year I hoped I‘d be okay with it but I‘m not. I just don‘t wanna feel frustrated again, so I wanna get more opinions.

If you buy an xbox series x, buy the console game pass with it! This gamepass offers you what you need.

Depending whether you care about physical media or not, PS5 has more physical media games, Xbox has game pass. I prefer physical games so I recommend PS5. I have both though. I like the Xbox memory expansion, but truth is it doesnt have as many games, especially imports and limited print games.
