      Really…

      • -1

        Tell us what you really think lol.

    • +6

      Yes, though PS5 appears to be more popular and sells out faster

      • +4

        And Xbox has had more hardware to be able to release more consoles over the last few months. Sony is struggling to make consoles

        • -6

          but yet sony are selling more PS5s over xboxes.

          • +10

            @kungfuman: The PS4 hammered the XB1. I think you will find brand loyalty saw many people choose the PS5 over the XBSX initially. However, I know from my friends, many are regretting that decision and several have moved to the XBSX. As for current sales numbers, I don't think that's a fair reflection of which console is more popular. Since every console is sold almost immediately, it seems to be whomever can produce more consoles is selling more consoles.

              • +3

                @pompompom: Playing on my Series X far more than the PS5, much more enjoyable imo

            • @sinners007: Just curious what the main factors for your friends are for preferring the XBSX? Is it purely the game selection / GamePass?

          • +2

            @kungfuman: That is true. But from memory the gap has closed a little. Also if you take into account the number of people who have Game Pass for PC, MS are still making money from that side of the market.

            • +12

              @Danstar: Sony are soiling their panties over Xbox GamePass, and now that Blizzard/Activision has been purchased as well, you’d think that’s going to factor into sales as well. Don’t rely on past sales, PS consoles are in for a world of hurt as time goes on… the M$ behemoth will not be stopped.

              • @UFO: Yeah Microsoft be like a big choo-choo train.

                Can't stop won't stop

          • @kungfuman: Sony sells Xboxes?

      • I got it through Vodafone today, 1 month wait atm.

        • awesome! Been contemplating whether or not I should do this. Heading to my local Vodafone today.

    • +8

      junk? you are really are out of your depth!

        • +11

          even a gaming PC with similar specs will cost more than Series X. If you wanna ever compare try comparing apple with an apple.

            • +32

              @kungfuman: $750 is the price of a below average GPU alone these days man. You don't know what you're talking about.

            • +4

              @kungfuman: Man just stop . You need to read more

        • My Calais is "junk" compared to a Bugatti, but we aren't really comparing apples with apples now are we.

            • +5

              @kungfuman: What PC can you build for $749 that can do any decent gaming?

              • -7

                @sinners007: you won't build that you would need to buy a PREMADE from DELL or HP or what ever to get that kind of price with a similar speced PC.

                • +10

                  @kungfuman: You can't build a PC for $749, even premade, that gets close to delivering the performance of an XBSX. I don't even know what you're trying to prove here other than not knowing how much things cost.

                  • -4

                    @sinners007: you can't build you can buy a premade for that price though. had to retype this because apparently you can't read my last comment.

                    • +12

                      @kungfuman: Link to a $750 premade that can match an Xbox's performance?

                      • +5

                        @FireRunner: He keeps harping on about this unicorn of a premade PC that costs $750 and can match XBSX's gaming performance, but so far he has provided zero evidence of such PC.

                    • +7

                      @kungfuman: Premade or build doesn't matter; you can't buy a gaming PC for $749 that can play new titles.

                      Your main point seems to be that Playstation has exclusives, where Xbox shares exclusives with PC. Sure, that's true, but for those who don't already have a gaming PC, an Xbox still delivers a fantastic gaming experience at much more affordable up-front price compared to PC.

                      Personally I think Microsoft being more open should be rewarded, but hey, maybe that's just me.

                    • +2

                      @kungfuman: You cannot buy a premade PC for $749 that matches the XBSX. As for your 2:1 sale numbers, utter BS. Microsoft doesn't publish console sale numbers. I'd suggest every console that can be made, gets sold, regardless of manufacturer.

                    • +2

                      @kungfuman: I see you are online but still have not linked to a PC with similar specs for $750 when you were asked 3 hours ago. Since you are online and have time, can you now please link us to a premade PC for $750?

        • +8

          The graphics card in a Xbox Series X is a RX 6800 with a few CUs removed and running at lower clocks. Similar performance to a 6700XT which by itself costs more than the entire Xbox.

          Not to mention the Xbox also has a Ryzen 7 3800X and PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage. These things are not "cheap PCs".

        • You were online again 28 minutes ago but didn't respond to my earlier request for a pre-made PC with similar specs for $750. Why aren't you providing a link to something similar?

      • +4

        does it really matter? both has its own pros and cons for me Xbox because you can get Xbox ultimate for around $100 for 3 years where you can play lots of games for free.

          • +5

            @kungfuman: what i meant to say was Gamepass Ultimate.

          • +7

            @kungfuman: All your above comments are being negged into oblivion and you’ve used up all my daily negs today for good reason. GamePass Ultimate is absolutely killing it for both console and PC use. Their subs are going through the roof and they continue to add even more titles almost daily. Yes yes, we all understand how much you clearly love PS but chill out. No need to go so full on with your fanboi ranting.

      • -2

        Or not everyone is a computer nerd who cares about gaming PC's?

        • -6

          you do know an xbox is a PC right? it plays the same pc games. its made for people that have no clue what a PC is.

          • +3

            @kungfuman: What is with PC master baiters thinking they are hot shit? Wish they'd piss off.

            • +2

              @smartazz104: They know how to plug 6 components together and install Windows. How are they not hot shit?

          • +6

            @kungfuman: Who cares whether it's a PC underneath? A console is designed primarily to be played on the TV whilst a PC is primarily designed for use on a desk and monitor while sitting in a chair.
            For a lot of people, the last thing they want is to sit in front of a computer again when they already spend 7-8 hours a day in front of a computer.
            You say it's a junk, but it plays and runs everything I need with zero issues.

            • +1

              @keejoonc: This! I have a PC with an EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080 and my Xbox Series X gets used way more than the PC for gaming. My 3080 was mainly purchased for VR but since a medical diagnoses I prefer couch gaming over sitting at a desk gaming.

      • +1

        Back to go on about your PC again like on every console related post? Yay for us

    • +10

      I have both consoles and this "junk" is my preference by a long shot.

      • Oh, care to share why? I only have the PS5.

        • +8

          Game Pass Ultimate.

          • -6

            @sinners007: You can get that on a PC as well. So basically no reason at all.

            • +2

              @pompompom: There are a couple releases that are only on one or the other or both Xbox/PC on Game Pass offerings

              @pompompom: Someone asked by I prefer my XBSX over my PS5.
              I answered.
              I don't game on PC.

              Comparing console v console, GPU makes the XBSX the better choice, for me. I think I have played 2 games on my PS5 in 15 months.

              • -5

                @sinners007: Get rid of your Xbox and upgrade your PC if you only want to compare GPU tflops. That will be the best outcome for you.
                Will also give you an opportunity to get rid of that horrid piece of plastic Xbox calls a controller.

                • +1

                  @pompompom: What are you talking about? GPU = game pass ultimate.

                  Also, the xbox elite 2 controller is a dream, I detest keyboards for gaming.

            • @pompompom: But I’d rather an Xbox, and find me a pc for $750 that matches the series x performance.

          • @sinners007: Ah, I see. I agree, GPU is pretty good.

      • -4

        clearly you don't have a PC if you say that lol the xbox has not exclusives. there is nothing different compared to the PS5 performance wise, and PS5 has exclusive games which you can't get on PC.

        So pretty much the only reason why you would get an xbox would be because you don't have a gaming PC.

        • I have all 3 and the XBox gets used a lot. I don't see a need to be a fanboy.

          I pick the games for each platform that I want to play it on. PC I focus on RTS and FPS, PlayStation their exclusives, XBSX I use Game Pass.

    • +3

      Found the PlayStation fanboy
      Both consoles have their advantages and disadvantages. It comes down to preference

      • -3

        No advantage if you already have a PC.

        • +1

          It’s great value considering the GPU price gauging right now. Also had a couple of features like backwards compatibility and quick resume. But yes, if you already have a decent PC then an Xbox is not worth it

          • -3

            @FireRunner: well the price gauging is only for the people that missed the train and didn't get the GPU when it was first released at RRP prices. many people didn't get riped on this, the people that are complaining are the ones that missed out or didn't have a clue where to buy them. Currently prices go up and down based on new cards and stock you just need to keep you eyes open and glued to deals.

            • +2

              @kungfuman: Not exactly fair, stock has been very limited with each launch. Thankfully, GPU prices have been steadily dropping over the past few weeks. It might become reasonable in a couple of months

        • -4

          Correct. Xbox is only for people with out a PC.

        • +7

          No advantage of getting {product a} if you already have {more expensive alternative}.

          Deep.

        • +3

          I have a 3080 in my pc. Guess what I still game on my series x because it's just easy relaxing to play on couch infront of tv. Everything works seamlessly. I'm still around family not locked away infront of a desk.

          • @Jklaro: Same.

            Some people can't seem to understand that their wants and needs may be different to others. 🤷

    • +7

      PS5 is ugly af, I'd go an Xbox on looks alone. But then it's also better hardware and has Game Pass so PS5 doesn't stand a chance.

      • Be a fanboy back to a fanboy?

    • -1

      Yeah seriously hahah 😆 the only good game in Xbox is Forza

    • +3

      Must be having so much fun with your PS5 that you have time to come here and post drivel whenever an Xbox is posted.

    • I own both this and a PS5. The PS5 barely gets used except for exclusives…

      Gamepass is awesome and I prefer the controller. Otherwise there isn't really much difference (also quick resume is awesome).

    • +1

      how dare you and kungfuman make me use up my daily allotment of negs :(

      • +2

        Once a month we should be allowed a double allotment for when people are just.. special.

    • +1

      People should buy which platform has the games they want. For some people that's Xbox and it's list of gamepass games and some exclusives. For others it's Sony with it's exclusives like God of war.

      For some people like me it's both - previously had gaming PCs but a series x is cheaper than a midtier GPU so for the PC/Xbox games I play I moved to Xbox, and have a ps5 for exclusives.

    • +2

      Why bother getting a PS5, they won't even have many exclusives anymore, they are all turning up on the PC now.

      PS on PC or soon will be, with many more on the way:
      * God of War
      * Horizon Zero Dawn
      * Days Gone
      * Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
      * Death Stranding
      * Nioh
      * Nioh 2
      * Detroit Become Human
      * Beyond: Two Souls
      * Heavy Rain
      * Predator Hunting Grounds
      * Helldivers
      * Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
      * Guns Up
      * Flower
      * Journey
      * The Unfinished Swan

  • +33

    Just like iOS and Android all have their fans and supporters no need to attack each other in that kind of manner. Just enjoy the games!

    • +6

      Yeah, I don't understand; I own them all except this. I wanna get it because half my collection of games is Xbox, so wanna play them while being enhanced. But would have to pack up some other consoles to make room.

    • +7

      How dare you tell us to enjoy games

      I will enjoy this more than you are enjoying this

      😀

    • +8

      It's actually so cringe console fanboys are talking shit even on here.

          Where is the Nintendo VS SEGA fanboys!!! like come on!!

    • Yeah, I have a PS5 and XB SX and love them both as much as each other.
      I find it bizarre people get so passionate that they try to sway people to like one more than another, who gives a crap? Just buy whatever you want FFS :)

      make sure you put it on Ebay at 3 times the price and make profit because you know these guys here will buy it lol.

  • +2

    I think Xbox is on the up with all the recent studio acquisitions and 1st party game announcements in mind. Let's hope they don't from their game pass games with micro transactions.

  • +16

    Owned every PlayStation released and purchased this last month, my first ever Xbox and honestly been really happy with it.

    Especially since I took a break from gaming for a few years last gen so a lot of catching up to do and Game Pass is perfect for that. Very cheap and accessible

    So hard to get a PS5 atm so will have to wait a few more years and will grab as I still prefer Trophies over Achievements

    To the other commenters above, pls link us a $750 gaming pc that is similar to the Xbox and PS5 in performance. For $750 I couldn’t be happier

    • +1

      👍 Out of interest as an Xbox guy, how do you find the change from the PS controller to the Xbox controller?

      • +2

        I always click A when the game says press X lol. As that’s the only similar button between the two consoles

        I don’t like the thumbsticks on the Xbox as it’s quite a slippery/plasticky material. PS controller is more rubbery/grippy/sticky. And they’re a little small. Location wise doesn’t bother me.

        Any recommendations for controller grips? I just need more grip. Don’t know why it’s so slippy

        Was surprised the Xbox still uses AA batteries and have to pay extra for the rechargeable. But have come to embrace the AA as there’s no downtime, pull it out and shove a new one in and done. Grab a pack of Eneloops and a charger and all good
