Do you have a next-generation gaming strategy? Now that Sony and Microsoft have both shown their respective hands, Jeff Bakalar takes a look at the messaging behind Xbox Series S, X, PlayStation 5 — and even weighs going with a PC instead — to give you all the information you need to know before jumping…

Trading in my Xbox one X for 200.00 at GameStop for Series X. Will get ps5 digital for exclusives and Xbox for game pass and third party since it’s much more powerful. 700.00 for both consoles much cheaper then a PC.

Its simple… Xbox is a more powerful console but PS has better exclusive games.
Go with the exclusive games – Playstation

You guys must be rich. I cant afford a 700-800$ graphics card. I have owned each new playstation since the original so I will eventually get the PS5 w the disc drive bc I want that UHD BD player also …but being patient and waiting for things like hardware revisions and price drops is always wise

In long term, I think XBOX will win in the North American and EU market. If they don’t win, it’ll be much closer. 💚 Keep in mind, 80% of all games are third party…

Ps5 controller is way better! Why is no one talking about this???
Mic on the controller, adaptive triggers, better ergonomics, Ultra low latency, no batteries required.
I haven’t even talked about the exclusives… Xbox doesn’t have Any!

Its not important now because sony doesn’t have the power narrative on its side anymore for example ps4 and xbox one minimal power difference. but this is a big difference between ps5 and xbox series x now power doesn’t mean anything? Double standards still on effect. Just like xbox sony exclusives are going to pc also so we can argue that we don’t need a ps5 either.

Hi to all.
What would you choose for 8 year boy who love to play Mario games on his Wii? I wish to buy new console for my boy and enjoy by myself also (COD once per year), but I have to be sure that my son will get right games.
I have no experience whatsoever as I prefer PC, but I can’t afford to buy both. Buying Nintendo Switch have a sense, but IMO it’s expencive for what you get.
One more thing… What about game prices? Same for both platforms? I understand that digital option limit you to new (not 2nd hand) game purchase?
Last thing… Can you watch movies on game consoles? Streaming Netflix, BBC Iplayer? Or from pendrive (X264 and x265)?
I almost forget… Do you use gaming pads only? I know about VR, but what else you can attach? I wish to keep him moving (belly growing… his and mine)
Sam Clark

Lol watching this video feel like conflict of interest for Microsoft. One one side they have Windows 10 and on the other side they have xbox hardware. U can get game pass on both 😂 they shouldn’t make game pass available for PC to sell their console.

September 19, 2020 at 10:47 pm
You’ve just proved to me exactly what I’ve felt about the “rushed” Gen5. I feel that your better off to wait till Gen 6. Gen5 seems to me like they are simply showing off stats on the hardware. I don’t feel like games have progressed enough to justify this Gen5. Gen6 will be the next big thing. In a way to which I cannot think of.

At this stage, I buy a PC for gaming. I buy a PS or for exclusives. And a Switch for traveling. I’m sorry, but Halo and Gears just don’t draw me in any more. It’s honestly like Microsoft said, ok, we lost this round. How about we just phone it in on winning the console race? They are clearly trying to Ubisoft their console. But please.. PLEASE don’t go out spending money you don’t have just to say you have these things right out of the gate. Especially not with the way things are right now. Shame on Microsoft for this credit plan. This is why Americans are so bad with money. Credit this, loan that. If you don’t have $500 laying around, then don’t buy anything. You can wait. I guarantee you probably haven’t finished every game you could have. And then there will actually be more games to make it a worthwhile purchase.

Xbox does native 4k whereas PS5 is not native. What does this mean?

September 20, 2020 at 9:46 pm
Native 4k is real 4k.
If it isn’t native 4k
Then it’s ‘fake’ 4k, simulated to look like 4k, but it isn’t.
OfficialHoneZtAbe
September 20, 2020 at 10:05 pm
@Follow the howl that’s what I thought. So PS5 uses upscaling to make 4K. That’s a clear win for xbox IMO

This is most likely be the final generation of home console, in the next 5-10yrs when 5G become mature. Things will move to cloud computing with an unlimited processing power, you’ll not need a super powerful machine in front of you. The trend will also affect the CPU and GPU on the consumer market, honestly who wouldn’t be excited when they don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on upgrading and still get the highest possible FPS on every game like the rich kids.

I’ve owned every generation of xbox and playstation since they had online compatability and will be continuing to do so. In my experience there is not enough difference between the two to really say one is better than the other. My only reason for buying both consoles is so that I can play online with different groups of friends and to a lesser degree game exclusivity.

The only reason to get either of these are the exclusives and if you plan on using it for a entertainment hub. Otherwise just buy a PC
