Don't know why this comment has been downvoted. Its true. A pc is far superior to either console and if I could afford one I 100% would. A newer console is only worth it imo if you have the TV to support the incredible graphics, if you don't you might aswell buy an xbox one cause its gunna look the same ✌🏻

Reply to xbox one nintendo wii u or ps4 by poopis76

I was and still am an Xbox Fanboy. I believe the Xbox's dashboard is a lot more clean and fluid than the play station's. Plus Xbox has Halo, GoW etc, which initially got me into Xbox. I also think the Xbox Series S/X is a lot more Aesthetically pleasing, clean look. Ad I personally prefer the sleek feel of the newer Xbox controllers, but this could be because I'm used to it...

However, since my flat mate moved in and brought his Playstation, I'm beginning to get a whole new appreciation for playstation! The exclusives for the PlayStation, in particular, The Last of Us, Until Dawn, Detroit: Becoming Human, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of war are incredible. The PS5 Duel shock controller, I haven't yet experienced, but looks and seems incredible! And having played Resident Evil Biohazard on VR on the PS4 really sparked my appreciation for the PlayStation.

So I just had this same dilemma and having previously owned the series X I went for the PS5 and I’m so glad. The controller is amazing, all the first party games are just so much better. It feels more like a next gen console whereas the series X just felt much the same as my Xbox one but better graphics. I know everyone raves about gamepass but PlayStation plus in my opinion is just as good

Both IMO are great consoles, I think what you have to look at is what games you want. I know for me I love the Ratchet and clank series, wanting to play both FFXVI and Spider-man 2, so ps5 is a no brainer. Or if you’re more of obsidian/Bethesda fan, then XSX would be the better option

EDIT: one thing I love about my XSX is that I’m able to take most 360 games from back in the day and pop it right in and play them. Plus brings back that nostalgic Xbox 360 swoosh

But you’re suggesting buying a PC after buying a console?

A cheap KB+M is like $20, and you can just play with a controller at a TV like you would with a console - this is how my brother plays.

After you spend extra on games and online the price is the same.

Why aren’t you interested? A console is basically a PC these days - RyZen CPU, RDNA graphics, M.2 SSD. You’re basically buying a PC anyway, you’re just locked into that hardware and ecosystem. If you have a PC you don’t need a console - can’t see why you’d spend the money twice?
