If you could choose only one, would you choose getting a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X?
I think it depends. If you rarely play and want to play some damn good games when you do, I would go for PS.
If you are playing a lot and don't want to spend a lot of money on top of console, Xbox.
I prefer Xbox controller as well, but they are saying good things about haptic feedback. So I guess that evens them.

i Choose no one of them but the PC or at max the STEAM DECK Because the only purpose of these "BoxeStations" is to make you be a slave\fan of only 1 Store so that remove from you as a customer the Freedom to choose where to buy your videogames and by do so then force you to buy videogames at $69\99€ instead of maybe buy then at 15\25\45 in other Multiple Stores Deals (Steam,Epic,HB,Fanatical etc.)
BUT Xbox Series S and X has Xbox Game Pass at $1€ sometimes for sure can give me to play MORE games than the others consoles.
Playstation & Nintendo is habit to sell videogames at expensive prices around $69€\$99€ and they don't have a Rent\Subscription service like Xbox Game Pass that enable people to Download and Play games (Playstation has PSNOW but it SUX because it's a streaming service and also the graphic it run is minimum\low obsolete and don't allow to download\play games in local)
So for sure Xbox Series S or X willl give you play + Games at CHEAP thanks to Xbox Game pass
PC also has FULL Graphics settings this can be very helpful to run New games on your PC when you PC become obsolete by low or remove graphic that you don't like (Example if you don't like High Soft Shadows but like low graphi normal shadows by removve it you can gain FPS get 30\60 stable fps) but with consoles most of times you can't do this.
So in PC Graphic setting is UP YO YOU is mean you have total full control of it
in Consoles Graphic Settings is UP TO DEV is mean you have 0 control of it
Yes recently sometimes consoles give you to choose between Resolution\Performance\Quality pre settings but these or NOTHING it's the SAME because they don't allow you to choose the graphics one by one as you like\want and not allow you also to run new games in obsolete consoles.
Consider also the fact that
1) consoles force you to use BRANDED Controllers (you must buy a brand control of the console brand for every 1 console you have) vice versa in PC you can use ALL controllers
2)With consoles you is NOT allowed to Repair them
3)With consoles You is NOT allowed to TAKE CARE\DO MAINTENANCE to them,this is mean that after 1 year the Dissipator of your console and FAN too will start have DUST and so will start LOSE Dissipation and have Overheating Problems then the console will start to Broken for damage the Solder balls under the SOC\GPU\CPU and or other internal components as gpu vram etc. then the console will broken (First show you video artifacts or black screen then after broken)
Also in PC you can change the Thermal Paste when after 1-2 years it start to deteriorate\finish BUT in Consoles you can't because playstation\xbox\nintendo don't allow you to open the console and replace it,this is mean after 2 year when the thermal paste finish the console start overheat and broken because the dissipator don't do perfect contact with the soc and the fact that the PS5 has a different system of cooling with liquid metal etc. it's not mean that this will grand to be better many problems can occurs with that too.
So it is not matter if you pay your console 300\500 or also 1000 dollars\euro when it will broken will broken and u can't use it,and because these "BoxeStation" is done in a way to cheat people to an CLOSED software\hardware ecosystem you will not be able to can take care\maintenance\repair it.
ALSO these companies is habit to apply SECRET Soc\Mobo\GPUCPU keys\Codes to the hardware so that people can't replace it also if they desolder and resolder the component it will not work becausse the secret keys don't match (this can be fixed only with hacking but hacking is not allowed in most\many countries and this will avoid also the warrantly of the console)
With PC vice versa if a piece broken you can just replace it by yourself or repair it because all the Drivers is give to you for doing it and there is NOT paired secret keys\codes used.
Consider also that Reballing\Overflow services offered by "repair shops" it's sort of scam\fraud they can't fix this problem for longtime
4)
PC you can use for Steamtgifts also as a "Deal" for "Exchange\Win" games you want and giveaway games you don't want\like or is not your taste.
PC you can use for get hundreds of free games from Epic Games Store
PC also enable you to do Microsoft Rewards (That will rewards you $10€ every 1 month if you do it every day togheder with the xbox quests activable only via pc) that yoou can use for get FREE games in the PC deal page
PC also enable you to do Bitcoin earns (at the time i write with a good GPU around $60-80€ at month)
Vice Versa consoles only give you is to lose money
5)
Everytime a console has been released (if you not believe me you can go watch on youtube the OLD Conference) they is advertised as the most powerful consoles and blablabla and Twitter marketing accounts try make you feel like you are the only most important fan and you must buy their consoles but all these things it's LIES , because every 2-5 years a new console is released.
Playstation,Nintendo or Xbox too don't give a fuck about who buy the PS3,PS4,PS4PRO and then release the PS5 (Soon PS5Pro too) in the same way Nintendo not give a fuck about who buy the Wiiu Flop,The Wii and so on,and the same is for who buy the Xboxone then buy the XboxOneX but then release Xbox Series X (and maybe soon a new powerful consoles Xbox too)
So Consoles get obsolete very fast , in the same way of GPUs\Mobile\Tablets so i'ts not a good deal to buy them more frequently by believe the marketing lies.
i think the best deal is a PC + XboxSeriesS (Shitty graphic yes but enable you to enjoy xbox game pass games for cheap an savve money to NOT buy games you don't like by try them on XGP) + SteamDeck.
Fans that choose to buy the PS4\Xboxone then get a kick in their ass from Playstation\Xbox when after little months PS4Pro\XboxoneX is released
Then Fans choose to buy PS4Pro or XboxoneX and another time they get a kick in their ass from Playstation\Xbox for release PS5\XboxSeriesS\X
This will repeat soon then with PS5Pro\PS6 etc. too
So these people pay around $1800€ for buy PS3\PS4\PS4PRO and now must pay another $500€ for buy PS5 and soon another $500€ for buy PS5Pro and then PS6,with all these money just can buy\upgrade a PC,play Multiplatform PC games (that is selled more cheap than on PS\Nintendo Store and be HAPPY)
So it's not a good deal buy consoles at all anymore,consider also the fact that the EXCLUSIVES they release is very little quantity if compared to the Lifetime\Market Cycle of the console.
You buy a console,it release around 5 exclusives that is your taste and you like,and then that console has become already OBSOLETE because a new console + new controller is out.... so yyou buy a new expensive box for play only 5 games.. then that box become obsolete already and for new games exclusives the company ask you to buy the new console "next gen"
6)
Also for who like SLOW games (Games as Fallout4,Sekiro,Astroneer etc.) and don't need to play Multiplayer or Fast games , it's not a BAD idea to just make a super cheap pc and then enjoy the XboxSeriesX\Nvidia graphic via CLOUD (play.GeforceNow.com,Xbox.com/Play,amazon luna (soon Netflix too) etc.)
i own all consoles + pc so i tell you this because i know and i'm able also to repair all them,but is a fact that these boxes is a fraud , just they want force people to buy games in 1 store,instead of allow them to use multiple stores with PC.
And personally i'm very happy that STEAM DECK has been released,i think this is not just an handled consoles,this is a REVOLUTION for try to fight this scam\fraud business o closedboxes.
7)
The Fact that Nintendo (Zelda,mario,Metroid,Animal Crossing) and Playstation (Uncharted4,God Of War etc.)
Brainwash people brain to BUY a Playstation or Nintendo console by believe that they get something "SPECIAL" and that "NEED TO BUY IT FOR PLAY THEIR EXCLUSIVES" is just a Lie and a marketing\cheat tecnique.
You can play Phsyconauts2,YokaLaylee or an hat in time on PC (or steam deck) instead of mario
or
you can play Gears Of War 5 or Control on PC (or steam deck) instead of Uncharted4
and you will happy in the same way and will have fun in the same way
(maybe better too with better physic and graphic of cloud or pc)
Exclusives it's not really important as companies advertising,
1 game is 1 game
if it is exclusive or it is multiplaform not matter,
it will give you having fun play free time in the same way,
exclusives it's nothing special,it's software same others,
Only companies\brands playstation\nintendo try cheat people brain with marketing tecniques for force them buy it by use the excuse of exclusives.
Then ALL thi said,it's not mean that Consoles is NOT an useful Product
in my opinion XBOX Series S especially if with Xbox Game Pass in some cases can be useful\good deal
Also Xbox Series S with this https://www.xbox.com/it-it/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller can be useful to more people with problems handicap at body (like me) more than a pc...
And there is some other rare cases where a console can be useful more than a PC for some people...
BUT for most\majority of people,especially who poor,avoid the consoles NOT BUY them and instead invest in PC is the best way to save money in videogames,and buy many videogames CHEAP thanks to STEAM,EPIC,SG,HB,FAN Deals\Freebies etc.
ALSO
Buy 100 Games on Playstation store\Nintendo store = Pay $9900€
Buy 100 Games on Steam or Epic or PC Multiple store = Pay $4000€ (maybe less too)
Enjoy 100 Games on Epic Games Store or Steam or PC Multiple store= FREE (Freebies\FreeWeekend)
Rent 100 Games on Xbox Game Pass = Pay 15€ 1 Month
This is something too
Amen.

Playstation has PSNOW but it SUX because it's a streaming service and also the graphic it run is minimum\low obsolete and don't allow to download\play games in local
All PS4 games on PS Now can be downloaded and played on a PS4/PS5. A few are even download-only. No need for streaming unless you're playing PS3/PS2 games or on a PC. The service is also cheaper than Xbox Game Pass and has a lot more games. (On the Xbox plus side, Game Pass offers newer games, and makes up for the lower quantity with higher quality.)
Also, PS Plus includes a collection of 20 games plus a few games a month (like Microsoft provides with Xbox Live Gold).

This require the user to Buy\pay 200\500€ an OBSOLETE EXPENSIVE PS4 or an OBSOLETE and OVERPRICED PS5 (that soon will be replaced by PS5Pro) and also the NOT GOOD DEAL to need to play with Playstation Expensive Controllers Branded.
Considered that these consoles is selled around 200\500€ ,that the PS4 SOC\CPU Sux because it's not able to run Today games that has Physic Well (Just Cause4 etc.) and the Graphic is very low too and PS5 in most countries is afflicted by faulty problems socs and or scalperssales\quantity availability (for chip crysis and blablabla).
Vice Versa Xbox Game Pass is given most of time at 1€ Deal (3 months too) or at max 15€ and enable whatever PC to download and play the games on whatever pc or also to play them via xbox cloud both options without need o buy an expensive\slavic box consoles playstation.
PS NOW vice versa don't give you download the games on PC and play them on PC this is the difference,try to force you to buy the expensive obsolete consoles or controllers, so why i say these boxes are not a good deal and for sure Xbox Game pass it's a service so much better and more deal than PSnow , also the Graphic of Xbox cloud is so much better is based on Xbox Series X,vice versa the PSNOW graphic (and physic) is based on PS4 so it sux,and also buy games on steam and play them on geforcenow it's giving better quality than PS4 or PSNOW too,considering also that geforcenow with wait time it's FREE...
also both PS4\PS5 controllers is afflicted by the problem that the Thumbstic become faulty after short time and people it's not able to change\replace them because the problem is the component\part soldered in the controller mobo that can't be replaced without avoid warrantly.
And these controllers is selled at expensive prices of around $74€
This in long term mean lose more money without to talk about the consoles that can't do thermalpaste maintenance etc. so they will broken too.
Where vice versa PC has Controllers with Magnetic\Interchangable thumbstics and\or allow to buy any\all controllers also cheap for play from any brand.

The consoles themselves are similarly priced, so I'm not sure why you claim that the PS5 is overpriced. Anyway, the assumption up front was that you're buying a console. Your made some claims which were patently wrong about the playstation online services. I think that you're just anti-PS and throwing around FUD.
The Xbox Game Pass $1 deal isn't really available all that often. I've used it in the past, and using it locked me out of using it again for quite a while. If you want Game Pass for longer periods you need to subscribe to it., and that will cost more than PS Now or PS Plus (though possibly not more than both).
Being able to play on the PC is a minor advantage to the service. If you already have a PC capable of playing these games then what's the point of buying an Xbox? Just buy the PC version of the Game Pass. PS5 at least gives you exclusives.

"The Xbox Game Pass $1 deal isn't really available all that often"
i Disagree this,Since the service has been started i was always able to enjoy it for FREE (thanks to MS Rewards) or at $1€
Recently i got 3 Months of Xbox Game Pass at $1€ on 28/6/2021 and i can play until 28\9\2021 included games as Phsyconauts 2 (that will release on 25) and some latest new games at Twelve Minutes,Recompile etc.
And 1 Year is 12 Months , if you play 3 is mean only others 9 months an these if meets the "Christmans" and others deals will give others $1€ subscriptions because is special seasons...
Vice Versa Sony Playstation is very + Greedy in how they give deals like this on PSNOW (their $1€-$5€ deals is less frequent) and it is not a good deal too because of the very low soc graphi they give based on PS4 (geforcenow\xbox cloud is much better) and they need to buy a console for download the games viceversa with xbox game pass can be done also with pc,so psnow has less graphic power less processor\physic power,less new games,is + expensive,and not allow download\play on pc too so is not hwfree like xbox game pass that is much better .
" I think that you're just anti-PS and throwing around FUD"
if Enjoy 1500 Videogames on STEAM and be an HAPPY gamer is mean be ANTI something i'm happy to be it,and i can say you that i not miss nothing and can not give a fuck about PS or their exclusives...
And if i must be honest only a little quantity of Multiplatform games as Astroneer,Sekiro,EliteDangerous,Fallout4,Yookalaylee,AnHatinTime,TheWitcher3 is enought to totally destroy all the little low quality Gameplay\Physic Playstation Exclusives from the PS2\PS3\PS4 and PS5 too released until now.
And Even Zelda on the Garbage\Low Hardware of the Handled NintendoSwitchLite wiith that horrible obsolete graphic BUT it's Better in Physic and Gameplay than HorizonZeroDawn\UC4\DaysGone that it's more SMOKE\VISUAL and little gameplay\physic\freedom.
So Playstation consoles and hardware it's not that so much special...
BUT i'm for sure NOT ant Anti-PS people because i give my money to Sony\Playtation for buy their consoles\games ,
if playstation is NOT a good economic deal compared with PC\XBOX in long terms is not because someone is anti-PS but is because Sony\Playstation apply an expensive\greedy economy strategy,and their prices is more expensives than the competition,it's just a FACT,not onlythis bu they NOT offer better quality too,the playstation is the lower quality hardware and software in the market,PC and XBOX is better and even CLOUD services too as reach a point that is better than the ps cloud too (see GeforceNOW or Xbox Cloud GAming) and also the president of playstation in journals has confirmed their strategy about expensive prices more than 1 time,if you think him is anti-ps too good luck to you...
And i can tell you i own all playstation consoles from PS1 to PS5,and also from PS1 to PS4 i own also ALL Revision Mainboards of them only the PS5 i have only 1 revision\mainboard,so i'm a playstation user too And personally i like some videogames fromm playstation, Jak&Dexter was a good gamefrom them in my opinion,but the others games from playstation included the exclusives is not that much "Special" too if analize the Gameplay and also the heavy missing of Physic too,most of their games is + Movies\Visual based (closecorridor\closedcamera\withoutfreedom games) than innovative\fun\real gameplay and it's not hard to find ALTERNATIVES that is not exclusives and offer the same gameplay\quality in PC and most of times multiplatform games is better too (See GTAV,Astroneer,Sekiro,EliteDangerous etc. all games that is not exclusives).
The fact that i explain the problems\bad things of playstation consoles and store is not mean that someone is anti something,and also if\when i will be is up to me.
IT's a fact also that Playstation over years has loses more exclusives,games that now is on PC and XBOX like Tomb Raider,CrashBandicoot,Efootball\PES,Tekken,AceCombat and many others in the past has been "PS Exclusives" but right now is already all on PC ,
Not only this but recently also games as HeavyRain,Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit: Become Human has reach pc market and at more cheaper prices than ps store,Also Days Gone,Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding recently is go on STEAM market too and there is rumors that Uncharted4 is coming also too,and i will be happy to buy and play them if\when they is games that i think i can like that is my taste and this is not mean be ANTI-PS because if people buy the games on PC or buy the games on PS STORE it's the same thing because the money go to Sony\Playstation and so will help sony\playstation to make other consoles and games ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
But the same as nintendo they follow a brainwash marketing strategy based on expensives\greediness of things by make people think they "NEED" to play exclusives NEED buy a playstation an NEED buy games in their store...
When in FACT is NOT...
A Gamer NOT need a playstation\nintendo,him can play on PC or STEAM DECK or also XBOX and be happy and have fun the same
A gamer NOT need buy multiplatform games in PS STORE him can buy them in STEAM,EPIC,GOG,HB,FANATICAL and also get them FREE when there is Freebies\Giveaways or MS Rewards
So yes Playstation it's an "option" something "Extra" but it's not the most important thing,the fiirst thing important for a gamer is the PC (that in many ways will make the gamer save money too and then maybe with them buy also a playstation) because in long terms is the best deal for buy videogames or play them via xbox game pass,ms rewards or epic\steam free\freeweekend.
Doing viceversa (buy before the playstation and their games at $69\99€) it's not a good deal only make people lose money by be slave of ps greedy\expensives prices stores.
Then as i said already i buy and own all playstation consoles and all playstation games that i like (also if when they is on steam i prefer to wait and buy them on steam instead of buy them at x3\x10 price on the ps store).
But i must also say that i'm NOT a big fan of playstation games they is very good in storytelling\visual for the most but very poor in physic,gameplay and originality that vice versa is what i like the most.
Personally i prefer play games as Astroneer,EliteDAngerous,Sekiro or Zelda they make me more + happy than play an theorder1866,uncharted4 or horizon zero dawn that has very boring gameplay,missing physic etc..
For sure i will play Playtation "boring poor originality games" when i finish to play better games on PC if nothing new is released for PC,but until then playstation can Wait... i not hurryto play with it and most important i NOT NEED it (also when\if i have it already).

if enjoy PC better Multistores deals is mean be biased i'm happy to be this said i own all playstations + all playstation games that i like (i not buy playstation games that i don't like and i not care if they is exclusives or not) so i not hate playstation,i just report facts about it.

IF PS5 Exclusives has the low quality that i see until now and top of this priced $99€ at release date,personally i prefer to be called biased than instead be called psfan and trow 99 on garbage,when instead on steam there is games that for less than half the price is more better and give + happyness,fun,originality,physic etc.
About the XBOX,xbox exclusives is already on PC so i not need buy an xbox for them
i not care about master races, it's just fact that pc has better deals,repair rights,graphic settings,multiple stores and all better than poorstation3,4,pro,5 and soon 5pro too.

also both PS4\PS5 controllers is afflicted by the problem that the Thumbstic become faulty after short time and people it's not able to change\replace them because the problem is the component\part soldered in the controller mobo that can't be replaced without avoid warrantly.
This doesn't make any sense. If you still have warranty, you can simply get a replacement controller. And if your warranty has already expired, repairing the controller cannot void it.
I will also mention that what you're talking about probably only affects a very small part of the customer base. I don't believe that they all break after a short amount of time. I also own a PS4 controller for years (as a PC player). Works just like on the first day.

". I also own a PS4 controller for years (as a PC player). Works just like on the first day."
Premised that this you write it's just IMPOSSIBLE because ALL the Playstation controllers since the First until the last PS4\PS5 lose precision overtime and will broken too,maybe better you do a Precision check with the right software tools for check it by yourself.
It's a very famous problem of playstation controller that iF PEOPLE USE IT and PLAY WITH IT after little months the controller start lose precision in the thumbstic and sometimes the character start walk byself too (and NO it's not a problem of dust\dirt etc. but it's just the sensor calibration and soldner part that start to fault)
Me too is a PC Player and me too own the PS1,PS2,PS3,PS4 , i has owner more than 1000 Playstation controllers and play with all of them,and i has own also a Repair Company for more than 20 years so... i receive around 1.000.000 broken controllers with this problem so it'ss a very common problem,and not only this i receive the same amount of PS4 broken too....
So why i say for me,and for my personal experience,Playstation it's NOT a brand that make good\quality controllers or consoles,their quality is very LOW,and not only this but until the PS4 they use a very bad thermal paste too (liquid white pc economic thermal paste) instead of use the betters (as the prolimatek pk3 or artic silver 5 etc.)
This can be see also in the official PS4 disassembly video from the man engineer of playstation (official video in the playstation channel).
About your controller it depend how much you use it? if you buy it and leave it in the box never use it.. it's normal that after 1 year it's same the first day.... ALSO must to see if you are a person that is ABLE to Understand and SEE when a controller lore precision or not?
You can check it with the proper tool software,or also maybe just with windows calibration controller tool
BUT if you search on Youtube or Google or Ebay or USed market the word "Playstation Controller Broken " you can find a lot of them so you can unerstand what i say is truth or you can go ask it to a Repair company ask to them if they receive billions of playstation broken controller or not...
This said this is NOT a problem of Playstation controller only,this is a problem also of Nintendo (so why there is classactions for "Drifting" problem") and Xbox controllers too, and the reason is what i tell you,the problem is howw the controllers is build with the down part of the thumbstic that is soldered in the mobo of the controller and is calibrated also with softwares and hardware tools that is NOT given to the user\customers so when the thumbstick start lose precision the cusstomer can't fix it byself and it's forced to buy a new branded controller,and because the console maker "LOCK" the "drivers\firmware\nand\chips" of the console for accept only their brand of controller the customers\users is forced to buy an expensive branded controller for that console (NOT like a PC where people can use all controllers) so it's a Business,they build these controllers by know that soon they will be fault and by know that people will be forced to buy a new one only for that console.
it's the same reason why they sell Amiboo instead of just DLCs or "MemoryStick" or branded storages instead of just enable people to use normal\common storages...
It make sense because Playstation users is Forced to buy Playstation brand controller at their expensive prices around $50\74€ this because PS3\PS4 etc Exclude via software other controllers to be used only for make profit on them.
While vice versa on PC people can use any controller,also good old $15€ Xbox360 controllers that until today is able to play ALL Playstation\Xbox and PC Games Too..
PC can use any controller,playstation,xbox,nintendo etc. but Playstation can't use Xbox,Nintendo,PC controllers.. it's business greedy decision from playstation.
it make sense because the Warrantly is only 2 Years and it don't include Usurations problems that is in the Playstation Controllers Thumbstick (and Nintendo Too) soldered part in the motherboard.
It not affect only a very small part of the cusstomer base,it affect ALL the playstation controller since the ps3 and until the PS5 , just search on google or used market "playstation controller broken" you can find a lot or also in Amazon reviews of people buy them too...
And Playstation make profit in this (not only playstation all controllers\consoles sellers that not allow people to have replacement way to fix it)
So in my opinion the best way is to have a PC Controller with Magnetic Thumbstic interchangable in this way the problem is fixed at the root and it is cheaper too.

This has nothing to do with what I wrote.
And I'm not going to read the rest of this extremely long rant. Let's just stop here. I don't feel like you're interested in hearing the other side anyway. Both PC and console have their place, both have their advantages, and hate towards one or the other is just unnecessary.

I have and prefer gaming on PC so I voted for PS5 only for its exclusives.
Comment has been collapsed.
Personally I'm not much of a gamer these days, though like others here I'd probably go for a Steam Deck.
I do have a PS5 at home, so that wins. That's what my son wanted, and that's because of the exclusives. (He actually wanted more a new PC, but with GPU prices what they are it was much cheaper to get the PS5 at a somewhat inflated price than get a PC with comparable GPU performance. The PS5 was on his wishlist, just lower.) Personally I feel that Dreams is a strong exclusive, but in practice I haven't tried it, and my Son gravitated more toward Spider-Man, God of War and Uncharted 4 (the latter two are part of the PS Plus collection). He mostly plays Minecraft on the PC though.
I might also have bought a Series S as an upgrade to the One S that I own, but there's no way to transfer disc based games to it, so it won't work as an upgrade. Most of these games are Xbox 360 ones, which the One S supports.

steam Deck might be a nice console, but you will get more fps or a higher Resolution on ps5 /Xbox s and also: you might be able to play all current Games, but whats about the upcoming Games in the next years?
Comment has been collapsed.
the difference: current Games are made or optimized for ps5 and Xbox s. but who will optimize for steam Deck? Also steam Deck is slower
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I play games like Skyrim, which never heard about optimalization, so I still consider steamdeck as better option to consider, since that means I have 600 games to play. Getting PS5 means I need to buy some games for it. Since I play 100% games with mouse and keyboard, I don't consider myself as goal customer for console shops. Seriously, I still do not see your points as valid enough to get rather each few years new Playstation, when I play even games older 20 years.
Comment has been collapsed.
Only reason to buy a console is for the exclusives it has, PS5 has the highest quality / most exclusives, therefore PS5
Comment has been collapsed.
Considering that you can have Game Pass on PC, Xbox Series is just a PC with more limited options: in-game ones, like graphics and such, and in scope and variety of games and apps available to you. Plus, while I would constantly shame PS5 for "generational approach" thing, they did add many improvements to their whole architecture and basic peripherals.

You don't need an Xbox if you have a good PC if you ask me, so I voted for PS5.

to be honest i think the series x and s are the best way to game even better then a pc if you're on a budget , i mean you get the next gen experience + the huge library of game with the game pass and the series S can be turned to a beastly emulator machine , it can run ps2 games at native 4k 120 fps <3

Honestly, i think both are a good value. Personally i’ll probably go for the PS5 if the new Gran Turismo turns out to be good. Otherwise i’ll buy the new Xbox just for the backwards compatibility.

i haven't bought a console since ps2. if i got one i would get ps5 just for the exclusives, xbox games all come to pc anyways.
Comment has been collapsed.
honestly, theyre both great. choosing between them is all up to your situation.
if you had a ps4 and have a backlog, 99.9% of ps4 games are back compatible and many of them run much better on ps5 even without patches (games that originally had unlocked framerates have no trouble running in 60fps).
the ps5 controller is seriously cool. having owned a ps5 since launch, i still get excited about different games' using the triggers and haptics and its more ergonomic than the dualshock4.
its a beast console. it is also incredibly quiet (especially if you get the digital version). the gap between great pc graphics and the ps5 is much smaller than it was on ps4 and pc at the time.
the ssd is small but enough for 6-8 very large games. third party m.2 ssd's matching or exceeding the onboard ssd will be compatible in the expansion slot, but so far this is still in beta, but in the long term this means that it might be likely that these will be cheaper per GB than xbox's expansion cards.
Playstation first-party is unmatched in their reputation of having amazing games. the amount of 85+ metacritic games from them is crazy. they've mastered narrative in games and polish the f*** out of their first party games.
if you had ANY xbox its almost guaranteed that it will be backward compatible and improved, even moreso than the ps5 and without devs needing to patch their games for them to be improved (so lazy/ money hungry publishers' games are more likely to run better on the series s/x like ea games from the 360 era. EA, activision,etc are NEVER going to update those for free so having a better automatic solution at the console level is nice.
the xbox series controller is basically the same as the xbox one controller, which was already very nice. tons of controllers and peripherals from previous generations are fully compatible unlike ps5
GAMEPASS. since you already have a pc, you can get gamepass ultimate and have access to a shitload of games on your pc, your xbox, and (dont laugh) via xcloud. day one games, first party games, great indie games, a lot of EA games too. xcloud actually runs pretty well, with input lag that has been greatly reduced since the beta. if youre still skeptical, there are a lot of turnbased games available on cloud so quality of gameplay isnt sacrificed. gamepass is also confirmed to work on the SteamDeck, if that's something you were planning on getting.
Some xbox games are "play anywhere" which means that you'll get a free pc version along with the console version. like gamepass, cloud saves are reliable so you can bounce between xbox, pc and cloud and just pick up where you left off.
Xbox's ssd expansion cards have the advantage of working right out of the box. while the design is proprietary, microsoft has already confirmed that they've partnered with multiple 3rd party storage companies and will be rolling out different hard drive brands' versions of the expansion cards. because of this it is likely that microsoft could afford to compete on price with pc m.2 ssds but they could always keep a little bit of a monopoly on price for these. (their history in the last decade says they won't do this, it goes completely against their "good guy microsoft" strategy)
Xbox first party sucked on the xbox one, but after their shopping spree on bethesda and a ton of other studios, there will be good 1st party games coming, and a lot of them. they just havent fully ramped up to releasing a lot of them yet. the forza horizon series is the most fun racing games ive played since need4speed underground 2. they also have a pretty good lock on first person shooters with doom and wolfenstein, and they have more western rpg studios than sony has.
the xbox series x is also powerful af and so far i havent seen any meaningful advantage graphically between the consoles except that microsoft has much more 120fps games.
personally i got a ps5, because i simply can't live without their story based games and i already had a backlog of ps4 games that im still working through. I also have gamepass ultimate for pc and cloud because my wife got some free gamepass things from her job and i tried it and am in love with the service. for me, this is the best of both worlds, but it all depends on what your circumstances are and what you want to get out of the consoles
