In some third world countries gaming on a phone or tablet is the only way they can game.
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
A victory for Xbox. Come Xbots - let us bask in it's glory.
Oh right, I forgot about that. That's definitely part of it then. Seems like a slightly curious strategy if they're leaving actual Series X sales on the table because of it, and the fact that it's sold out everywhere suggests they are. Maybe it will all make sense in a number of years.
Embarrassing stuff from the xbots...
You're bragging about the Series S though. The Accrington Stanley of consoles.
More like the OBOS-league, with the Series X being the equivalent of tippeligaen.
If Accrington sold more tickets that Utd people would be talking about it.
Obviously this is correct, but it's equally true with all the 'PS5 outsold XSX by X' stats that are posted here every month, when clearly both consoles are selling out completely and have huge demand.
There's a huge chip and component shortage problem. Sony got in first as they finalized their hardware before XSX (with apparently some potential gains on Xbox's side down the line whilst they waiting on AMD, who knows) and have way more clout in the locations and with the manufacturers and suppliers of these components due to not only selling more console, but selling a ton of other hardware too (TVs, phones, cameras etc.)
There is a higher demand for PlayStation.
No doubt about it
Higher demand for McDonalds too but it's hardly haute cuisine.
So you're saying someone would rather a Mc Donalds happy meal than a $500 Series X if offered?
You can get the happy meal easily but the series x is like chasing the white wale.
PSVR2 will probably be shown this month... Could be special.
Who updated the Returnal, Deathloop and Ratchet thread titles?
With Forza Horizon 5 and Psychonauts 2 they had the excuse of there not being a thread to update, though really they should have created a thread just to add the MC scores to the title. For Halo though, those others had all been updated by now. Seems strange it hasn't been.

Because you're the only person that cares.
Guys can we all just get along for the Christmas period.
You say that now after you've trolled them mercilessly. Poor DavelinaJolie doesn't even trust the mods anymore.
@DavelinaJolie I am sorry
Your penance needs to be more severe. You should be forced to play Halo multiplayer while @Alock1 reads you metacritic reviews.
More chance of that then him playing the game he supposedly loves Apex Legends, all talk no action this elvis lad.
In fairness I’m off Apex at the moment, only played 3 games since the new season came out! After I’ve finished Guardians though I’ll come back to it and we shall play 
Don't project your fantasies on others mate. Just pm me and have done with it.
It's way too quiet in here.
So who had the better 2021? Ponies or Xbots?
So who had the better 2021? Ponies or Xbots?
Ponies in terms of having seen a few good titles like Ratchet, Kena and Returnal.
Xbots in terms of having access to a whole bunch of good but not quite amazing games for about the price of one of those games.
Overall, I think if you're more into varied experiences then it's been better to own an Xbox, but if you like your quarterly AAA titles then Sony wins.
Sony: actual games.
M$: a glorified rental service.

There is a huge amount of amazing games on gamepass

My Series X is pretty much my go to now. So much on gamepass that you can just pick up and play for a few hours. I only take out the PS5 to play a Sony exclusive or a PS4 game that's gotten an upgrade. There haven't been many of the former this year, hopefully next year is better. Horizon will be a good start.
I'd still pick the PS5 though for a game that's on both but not on gamepass that I really want to play as I love dualsense, but there haven't actually really been any games like that, most of the cross plat have also been on PC where they are much cheaper.

As an owner of both the SX has been used much more by far mostly because of Game Pass. It's been amazing for finding coop games with friends. The luxury of jumping from game to game instead of forking out for something we wouldn't necessarily enjoy is fantastic. I've used PS5 mainly to revisit upgraded versions of older Sony exclusives and Returnal was my favourite exclusive definitely of the year. Features wise SX having the likes of Dobly Vision, VRR and quick resume definitely makes the difference and makes the PS5 seem a bit lacking in that department. 3D audio on PS5 is brilliant with the headset.

Some great posts here.
Xbots FTW!!!

Deathloop was done by the threadstarter: Massive Spanner, and was actually there when the thread was created.
The other two were just done as a retaliation to Bojan updating every other thread with Metascores but with him gone there was no motivation to continue doing so.
