Digital. I don’t have room in my house for shelves, so buying digitally allows me to have a good library of games without taking up room

Depends, but when you buy with your own money physical way makes you feel more rewarding

Series X owner here - get a PS5. Man, I really miss the PlayStation library (moved to xbox after ps4).

I think you already knows the answer. PS5 is the right console for you. Especially if you’ve never owned ps before, you have a bunch of games and IP’s to play. Enjoy!

Digital Reason: I have a digital ps5.

I'd recommend Xbox over PC, you get the ease of use and all round less hassle of a console, having the option of buying physical games, no hackers ruining games, split screen/local co-op, quick resume features, better portability and 4k blu-ray.

Physical normally because I feel safer knowing if I ever get a new switch I can keep it. But digital is growing om me because physical copies are easily lost

Since you have an Xbone, get a PS5. It also plays ps4 games.

Ps5, you’ll have a bunch of new games to access if you’ve never had a PlayStation

If nothing else,series x grants you access to emulation all the way to the fucking 7th generation with the exception of playstation 3 games.So with series X you literally have every game available all the way to the current gen with the exception of wiiu,switch,ps3,ps4,ps5 exclusives.

I didn't say anything about the disc drive. I said something has to be wrong with the disc.

Yes. nVidia do privide also software tools that Qualcomm or others have not in their portfolio. I suppose it will be a new consumer Tegra (X3?).

Good point. It's certain that the technology and market are changing rapidly at the moment. Didn't know about the 20 year deal, that would mean that a Tegra 2 or maybe a further development is almost a certainty.

If you see at what for example Apple is currently doing with it's M1 and M2 chips a lot is possible now that was never expected to be before.

If you don't like playing for extended periods which it seems you don't the series x does have quick resume where you can pause a game even ones without save points and leave them in that state for age's which is useful if you play on and off.

Wel, eventually it will not need to throttle down like phones. AMD has no expertize with ARM. nVidia also said in the past that the deal with Nintendo would have been 20 years long. Snapdragon it's really strong, like a top-end Intel mobile offering, in the GPU side.

That doesn't match what OP is looking for so it sounds like you answered your belief more than what they asked. They want to enjoy short simple games with family and friends so not a PC, nor the single player deep story driven PS5 exclusives. I think series S makes a lot of sense for just fun multiplayer games, not playing too often or heavily and not wanting the top performance. But if you want the disc drive you need Series X or PS5.

The best way to decide is by looking at the games each one offers. The current gen top consoles are honestly overkill for basic Nintendo-like games but if money isn't an object go for it.

A Switch is much larger and therefore much easier to cool than a smartphone. Therefore it doesn't really require an expensive, high-end smartphone chipset. The Nvidia Tegra is a different story and not really comparable to the modern Snapdragons.

I also believe Nintendo will switch to AMD for a cheaper, smaller chipset, but still actively cooled. They don't need to compete with Sony and Microsoft hardware wise, but the Switch definitely needs a jump in performance which should be doable cheaply that way. And a chipset like this will still be better and cheaper than a Snapdragon.

Fellow Switch user, but I'm just curious as to why you don't like the Switch controllers. If you're talking about the Joycons I can fully understand you, but the Switch Pro controller is really good in my opinion. Though it's not as good as my PS5 controller, I think it's just as comfortable to be honest. If you've never tried the Switch Pro controller give that a shot, saves you buying a console you might not even really use since you say you prefer Nintendo games.

If your TV has a proper gaming mode with VRR, then the xbox will definitely take advantage of it.
I only have xbox One, but I still use the crap out of it on my 4k tv, which has all the gaming options I could ever want.
I may not play 4K xbox on it, but I do play many of my computer games in 4k... so I can appreciate a 4K tv.

Vizion ftw.

First of all, I hate the term "serious gamer." It is, in my opinion, a gatekeeping term used by touchebag, wannabe twitch streamers that mostly play warzone and fortnite.

If you game, you're a gamer, end of story.

Secondly, I personally think the Xbox is pointless. If you're going down the microsoft route, get a PC.

If you just want a console, I would go PS5. It has better exclusives.

Either depending on price

You can get an earlier model for cheaper and paired with cloud gaming on the game pass, you won't ever suffer from fps issues or slow games provided your internet is decent

I'd suggest X as the industry is ever moving upwards so you'd probably end up buying one a few years down the line anyways
