You just answered your own question.
What is the anything else? A few decent exclusives?
it's more like a lot of great exclusives.
Ah yes, that's why they've all sold so poorly.
I think you need to take off your blinkers and just realise there will never be one thing that suits everyone. Be bland as feck otherwise.There’s only a handful that are great games, and if they don’t particularly excite you, then that’s the PlayStation’s edge gone completely, which is why it’s odd that people can’t fathom why anyone would get an Xbox.
They released a defective console, they had no other choice than to fix it for free.My PS3 was a piece of crap I must say, in the end. I also had a 360 that red ringed but I got it fixed free of charge, so I’ve seen both ups and downs for each console at the time.
I was also never enthralled by the PlayStation exclusives. Just not my genre so that was a meh. Same with Xbox, halo doesn’t tickle my fancy, nor Gears. So I don’t have brand loyalty, I just go with the platform I’ll get best value for money from, which for me is Xbox.
My mates just prefer Xbox as well, a few also have a PC but they only play games exclusive to PC, use Xbox for multi platform - just suits them. It’s not like we missed the boat with PlayStation
PS crowd are as bad as scouse at times.
I was actually defending the Xbox
All I said was that "a couple of decent exclusives" is massively underplaying the strength of the PS's exclusives.yeah get all that power to play the new halo at 900p
And for all the other games that are available on both consolesyeah get all that power to play the new halo at 900p
Yes but MS don't care about that, which is something people always struggle to grasp. It's why they've been going so big on cross platform. Their end goal isn't to sell more consoles vs PC's or whatever, it's to get as many people as possible on services like gamepass because that's where the money and loyalty will lie long term. MS only really see it as a failure if someone picks a PS over both an Xbox and PC. They don't expect to sell as many consoles as Sony.
I Just find the power argument odd. PS3 had more power but many games ran better on Xbox because it was easier to develop for. Power means feck all, and even those slight differences will only be noticed by those who know what to look for.
I never said 90% of gamers, I merely pointed out that PS4 exclusives have sold a lot and are a huge factor in its success. "many don't give a feck about solo action adventures, which makes 90% of PS exclusives " just isn't true, especially if you go beyond PS5 exclusives and look at R* games and such.
Is it a slight difference this time though?
I’ve no idea. I don’t know what teraflops are and what CPUs and GPUs do. As I would guess is the case for most gamers. Many will just stick to the consoles they’ve always had because of the games. If the PS5 is slightly less powerful than the Xbox but I can play God of War 2, HZD2, Gran Turismo 7 etc then that’s the console I’m going for. Most Xbox games I can play through my Pc so I’ve no real reason to get one, especially as all my mates are switching to PS5 this generation anyway.
I'm not sure I'll ever have both consoles but if I did, this would be my line of thought, except the other way around. Let's be honest, most of the good games at launch will be current gen upgraded, so you may as well get whatever you already have then get the other, if it seems worth it, a few years down the line.
Gran Turismo was great in its day but serious racing games feel dead af these days. The funny thing is, the main catch was always how good the graphics are, which could be better if it was on Xbox this time. I'd be tempted to get it for nostalgia purposes only but I know it wouldn't last long.
If Xbox had good exclusives I'd happily by both (hence why I always pick up a Nintendo console). Just a meh console whose owners get very defensive and start shouting power.
If they are building off GTSport it's still really good to drive, especially with a wheel (and I'm expecting fully supported VR on PS5
).Except it's the PS boys that are obsessed with putting the Xbox down for some strange reason
How many of those games are "on rails" or "movie games"? I assume you are referring to games like Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us 2 but it would be a huge stretch to label Bloodborne, Horizon, God of War and similar games as such. Sure, if you don't like third person action adventure/rpg games, those aren't for you. But you really went overboard with that last bit.
