Well, already got the PS5... I hope I can restrain myself to get an Xbox only next year.
(somebody save me, it is a real problem /s)

I am convinced my decision was impulsive and bad; and for sure this time around Xbox will sweep PS5 and will end up getting all games and support because my luck sucks.

That was a rather sad presentation, not gonna lie. I'm not into the whole "console wars" kind of thing, and I really want PS5 to be a cool piece of hardware worthy of purchase, but so far, XBox just looks like an all-around better option.

Still no idea why people would buy a $500 Xbox over investing that $500 into a PC. For not much more you'll have something FAR better than the XBSX. Then there's that entire exclusives thing. And before people come in with the "I don't like any of Sony's exclusives anyway".... I'll already tell you you're full of it.

Has there ever been a more depressing launch than the PS5 and Xbox? The launch line up of games is just sad...

ouch, 70usd a game?
It means it will cost more than 100CAD here with taxes
We pays 80CAD right now and with taxes it brings it over 90$

$109 AU for us

1 euro = 1.18 usd,
euro > usd, but just about the same, negligible.

In 80 €, that's quite a big difference.

Not really. 500 won't get you a decent cpu, card and ram to run the games these consoles will play with the same settings.

To be honest, both look quite sad.
But yeah, at least from Microsoft side you kind of get the relief that they do good backwards compatibility and tend to improve games you own without you having to buy them again, e.g. Gears of War 5 at 120 FPS.

$70 USD would easily translate to $100 CAD. Glad I'm sticking to PC and Switch this gen.

I kinda genuinely don't, for one? Most PS exclusives I cared about in distant past (Tekken, Spyro, MGS) already went multiplatform, and from current ones for me it's only God of War and Persona - and even Persona is a stretch, since I'm just going to skip the next one if they regurgitate the P3 formula again. Looking at current lineup especially, the idea of not caring about Sony exclusives is not that bizarre of a statement.

I kinda feel like Sony are pulling another PS3, they felt like they won over the loyalty of consumers with the PS2 and just thought they could count on them all going from PS2 to PS3 so just got greedy and crashed hard, there were humbled after that and went back to trying with the PS4....and now they are once again thinking they can count on all the PS4 owners to go upgrade to PS5 no matter how unattractive they make its

honestly as far as exclusives go I'm sure I will know someone with a PS5 that I can borrow if there is anything I REALLY REALLY want to play I would just borrow it for a week or something, play the 1 or 2 games I want and stick to PC gaming for everything else

maybe not 500, but you don't take into account free online, let's say you use your xsx with online for 5 years, that's 300 usd for online, so an 800 dollar pc definitely will smash any console

I don't think there's really any question Sony is gonna have the majority of quality exclusives, but OTOH, Microsoft has been buying up a bunch of studios lately for semi-exclusives shared between Xbox and PC.

I'm more torn than I thought I'd be myself...Demon's Souls Remastered is the only launch title I want, and there's still the possibility it comes to PC after a year (despite Sony's insistence otherwise). Who knows if or when PS5 1.0 firmware gets hacked. Hopefully it lets you prioritize performance over top-end visuals without the need to hack it, but I kinda doubt that. What it comes down to is that I'd mostly be using it to play PS4 games for a while, so I might as well wait a year and see how things pan out.
