            @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.

            @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.

              @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.

                      @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.

                      @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.

          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".

        • Lucille Bluth on 23/02/2022 - 18:40

        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.

            @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.

      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.

      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 :)

        Humans in the end are tribal people, they want their own tribe to succeed and others fail.

    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.

    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

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

        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
