Well I think I've figured out how the Xbox naming convention works now.
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
One other thing worth mentioning is most of the big titles are moving to crossplay now (Cod does) so you could get a PlayStation and still play with your Xbox friends. I would definitely suggest you give some single-player games a chance though, they are obviously a very different experience but can offer some of the most rewarding experiences in gaming.
Bringing this in to this thead so as not to derail the other.
Interesting, because I honestly don't see all that much worthy of hype about the Playstation at launch, personally. Maybe that comes from us both leaning one way though.
There's plenty of third party games that are going to be on the SX, Game Pass (now with EA Play), more powerful (might not make any difference in reality of course), possibly cheaper, current gen peripherals all work on it, ability to buy digital games elsewhere. Probably forgetting some stuff. If you don't have a gaming PC, it's a very strong package now.
Obviously if you really want the exclusives it offers, then the PS5 is the way to go for the future. Personally Ratchet and Clank does nothing for me, and GT is overrated these days. Only ones that might appeal to me would be Horizon and the original Last of Us. I don't see what else is appealing about it, to be honest.
Will be watching the PS event tonight before making my decision on what console to get first. I've been impressed with the series X stuff and loved my One X and Gamepass but Sony have the exclusives. It's a tough one.
Keep your One X and Gamepass and get the PS5. No exclusive games to the Series X for 2 years so get that later on.

Here's our new next gen console - play old games!
With an old controller!
The mindnumbers are back
I've got a question for you.
Let's say you are set on getting a PS5
What do you get as a 2nd console?
Xbox Series S
Or
Xbox One X
Or
Nintendo Switch
Or
Backwards compatible PS3
Or
Nintendo Wii U

Switch. I'll probably pick up an S when the dip below £200.
Only 1? Switch all day.
Definitely the Switch.
Preferring one option isn’t being fanboy. The only fanboys I’ve seen are PS and PC guys round here.I've already got my series X sorted.
Doesn't stop me laughing at the fanboys
You don't see them because you're one of them Vee, a bit like Tories who only see the BBC as left wing. Or level headed unbiased folk like me who can't help but notice that this place is filled with Xbox and PC fanboys....wait.
Ffs Elvis I was being facetious.
Switch gives you Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild and soon Mario allstars... but apart from that I'm not sure what I'd really play on it?
Wii U has Zelda Windwalker which I'd like to play again maybe even more than BOTW? Plus it has all the Mario Allstars games about to be released - already released?
Xbox One X and the PS3 both give you a back catalogue of games. I'd love to play the One X version of the Original Red Dead Redemption. I'm also a big fan of time-splitters which I play on my back-compat PS3.
Dunno man. I'd almost rather have a Wii U than a Switch. Wii sports!
I still can't wait for my "next gen" machine that is held back by a weaker variant, has old controllers, and no new games.
But hey, I'm looking forward to a rather last gen looking Halo in a few months!
Oh wait...shit...

Metroid Prime 4 though in definitely the next 5 years!
Don't upset Veeva he's more defensive over Xbox than I was the PS3 in 2007.
Well it's hard for me to be that impartial since I own all of those consoles anyway, but the switch definitely has plenty of variety and balance between generations.
But the handheld thing is a godsend considering my PS4/5 is and will be usurped by my gf and kids
I think it's sweet that there's still plenty of anti-fanboy fanboys around!
Touche. That's the same problem I have but even with a switch I don't think I could play until they were also anywayWell it's hard for me to be that impartial since I own all of those consoles anyway, but the switch definitely has plenty of variety and balance between generations.

My most used console is now my HTPC.
Like Redlambs it's tough for me to give a really accurate answer as I own or have owned almost all of them as well. I loved the PS3 gen and wouldn't have wanted to miss it, but from my perspective it feels like old news. While I've played games like Super Mario Odyssey, Botw, the wonderful remake of Link's Awakening and am currently playing the excellent (arguably best available version of) Dragon Quest XI on the Switch.
The answer is obviously the Switch.
I don't get fanboys in 2020, but that's just me.
Sony and Nintendo got me through a lot of tough times growing up, whilst Microsoft gave me Windows ME to deal with.
Am I the only person here that thinks the switch is a bit crap?
Never owned one. It's always been underpowered.
Not at all. I just prefer to buy it. I’ve only partaken in fanboyism because of all the ps fanboys and to have a bit of banter.
The last post is all true though and my reasons for staying with Xbox this time. Was happy to change if Sony gave me a reason to. Ratchet and Clank doesn’t cut it.
PC fanboys are the worst though. Shoehorn their toxic shit into everything.
I agree. PC fanboys really are the worst. Think they're superior because they made the right choice when it comes to gaming. Pricks. Buy a PC
@MaxiPaxi they’re talking about you.
About10^6 teraflops if he's an average human being.
He's already upset about having no fans and you go and drop the A-bomb on him. Have you no heart?
