Last year I bought an Xbox for the first time to give Game Pass a try.. And I sold it to buy a PS5 w\ Plus a few weeks ago. If there's a reason to own an Xbox I couldn't find it.
- leetrout 3y agoCare to elaborate with specifics?
- miiiiiike 3y agoThe UX for the XB feels unpolished and unintuitive compare to the PS5 (uninstalling a game, etc), Game Pass vs Playstation Plus the exclusives on Xbox/Game Pass are uninteresting (Scorn vs Returnal vs everything Nintendo), the PS5 controller blows the Xbox controller out of the water (feel, responsiveness, haptics).
- leetrout 3y agoOh I didnt know there were nintendo games for PS5.
- causality0 3y agoI might jump ship for Sony except for the fact I've never been able to use a Playstation controller without my thumbs knocking together and I find the sensation unendurably irritating.
- subsection1h 3y ago> PS5 controller blows the Xbox controller out of the water In which PvP shooters are you currently ranked Diamond or higher?
- miiiiiike 3y agoJust a hair outside of that range in Overwatch
- PretzelPirate 3y agoYou and I have the exact opposite opinions on this. I own all 3 major consoles but I only find the Xbox controller and UI nice to use. I subscribe to gamepass and have no interest in PS+. My PS5 is only used for playing GoW, Final Fantasy, and Uncharted. I also having a gaming PC where I use an Xbox controller, racing wheel, or VR controls. I still don't understand why people like the PS5 haptics. To me, they don't feel like they add anything and just drain the battery.
- pebble 3y agoThe PS5 haptics help with immersion a lot for me and the adaptive triggers potentially double the functionality of the triggers in an immersive way. I also find the the PS5 controller the most comfortable I've ever used. I was strictly an xbox controller guy through xbox 360 and ps4 eras but the ps5 controller won me over. I have two PS5 controllers, one for the PS5 and one for PC, just so I don't have to bother resyncing every time. If the PS5 controller extra features worked on PC without a cable it would be the perfect controller. And yea I have gamepass too but who needs an xbox when they have a PC and the PS5 has the console exclusives I like. Just, to offer another counterpoint.

- Toutouxc 3y agoI'm currently neglecting my fairly decent and expensive gaming PC with GamePass because I prefer the PS5, but AFAIK Xbox has pretty much 95 % of games that we have on PS and we have 95 % of games that they have..? I'd actually love to play some Forza Horizon and Stalker 2 and the new Elder Scrolls game when they come out and I guess some Xbox users would love to play God of War or Spider Man 2 when it comes out. What makes PS so much better for you?
- lostmsu 3y agoAre God of War and Spider-Man comparable to Elder Scrolls? GoW seems to be available on Steam, but doesn't even hit top 100 currently played.
- Toutouxc 3y agoBoth PlayStation and Xbox have some really hard hitting exclusives comparable to the Elder Scrolls series, but my intention was not to start a pissing contest of who has the most or the best.
- lostmsu 3y agoIt is not exactly a pissing contest. The point is that Microsoft bought Bethesda, so theoretically they can make it exclusive to Xbox and start using it as a leverage. I question "comparable" here. The available data suggests they really are not.
- Talanes 3y agoIt's hard to make a direct comparison because they're trying to do different things. God of War and Spider-Man were released on PC 4 years after their console versions. As someone who's looking forward to both new Elder Scrolls and Spider-Man 2, I've only considered buying a console for the second: I'll just update my PC for the first.
- cleerline 3y agojust for your information es6 wont be out for 5+ years
- adrr 3y agoBethesda could hit a home run with their new game Starfield.
- miiiiiike 3y agoI have a gaming PC tho so I'll just grab it on Steam and play it on Linux.
- readyplayernull 3y agoLooks like No Man's Sky.
- scns 3y agoHalo if you are into it.
- miiiiiike 3y agoI played the Halo 1 campaign, multiplayer didn't grab me.
- FreeFull 3y agoA bit of a weird reason, but Xboxes still support audio CD playback, while the PS5 doesn't.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt really depends on how you game. A subscription gaming service wouldn't work for me, but I've had other friends say they don't even buy games anymore because of gamepass.
