Wood, call an electrician and have them add additional circuits to your existing breaker box. They can split various rooms into smaller pieces so you have less load on each circuit. It will just take a couple of hours and will be really low cost.
@@AthiestDing that could be dangerous. I mean like, likely chance of your house burning down dangerous. The breaker is in place to keep circuits from overheating and catching fire when you try to use too much electricity. If you hardwire the breaker, you run the risk of overloading the circuit and having no way to stop it from causing severe damage to your house. It would be smarter for him to hire an electrician and do what everyone else in this comment thread is suggesting, split the breakers more sections to lighten the load.
Either breakers need to be upgraded from 15amp to 20amp or something a lot of people don't know about phases. If they put A/C on phase A and then all your lights on phase A it can overload and trip the breakers. they may just be putting to many high draw items on one circuit/breaker by shotty electricians and just needs to break out to lighten the load. That is not just a couple hours of work. changing phases of breakers or replacing them is 15 minutes of work. breaking out the high loaded circuits requires pulling new circuits. if they used romex or pipe that are not straight shots to the panel it will take more than a couple hours. just get a reputable electrician.
@BeatEmUps, I just watched a bunch of comparison videos because I don't have an Xbox, and was curious about the differences. You're the first reviewer who wasn't crazy biased in either direction and kept it real. Thank you for doing justice to all of the platforms and keep up the good work
One Year Later... Amazon: Out of stock Walmart: Out of stock Target: Out of stock Ebay: $1000 and up Best Buy: Out of stock Gamestop: Out of stock My Soul: *Out of stock*
Microsoft own stores and Tournement Organisation can't have enough XSX to support gaming event PS own online store is out of stock so how can a normal human can have one on retail price is beyond me?
I'm a Playstation guy. It's my preferred platform. That being said, it's mostly do to that is where my friends list is at. It's the platform I've dedicated to. I like my trophies, I'm the demographic for their exclusives. Xbox has been killing it with their services though, and I applaud their commitment to game pass. With all the studio acquisitions they've made over the last couple years I think Xbox players are going to be in for a bright future of gaming. Love to see consumer friendly practices and good games being made, no matter where they are played.
@QuietJoy i'm so glad you are very positive and, despite preferring one console, you aren't bashing the other console and their playerbase, and being very respectful. Cheers to you, mate.
@BeatEmUps One Correction about Quick Resume is that it is not capped @ 3 Games. You can literally have Unlimited Games Open in the background, but I found 4 is a Good Max. 5 & Above starts to slow down the Console a little bit.
I personally like to have everything to play games on. I love PlayStation for all of there super unique exclusives, I treat game pass on Xbox like Netflix and try out a bunch of games I never thought to play and end up really enjoying a ton of them, and the switch have been my go to when I want to enjoy games while I’m away from home. Each system has its own unique perk and it feels silly to try and say which is better when they are all great in their own way.
This right here. I’ll buy my main big games on PS5, use my XSX for Game Pass, and my Switch for Nintendo exclusives and games that aren’t worsened by being played on a less powerful system, like Hades.
I Agree with all that Wood and you just said. The only thing I would mention Is that If you like playing on a PC (Controller and or Keyboard & Mouse) and you have a good PC that have same performance or more as the Xbox Series X you don't really need to buy a Xbox at any shapes or forms because you can benefits of all the things that Xbox offers like the game pass and to be honest better performance. The only thing that would be a downgrade about what I just said is that it's hard to play your game pass games from the couch with a PC :P
@@PraXisWebDesign Well you'd also miss out on Crossfire X as apparently that's not coming to PC just Xbox which is sorta weird but yea for me Xbox is the way to go because to buy a competent PC that would rival the Xbox in performance I'd have to spend as much as an Xbox Series X PS5 and Nintendo Switch combined which is a no go if I'm spending that much I'd rather get 3 really great consoles out of it it not one PC.
I have the exact same bias toward Xbox when it comes to third party titles. What's your personal take over physical vs digital? If you've made a video of it I'm sorry but I'd love to hear your take on it. I go mostly digital now but I do miss the physical game boxes a bit, the disks just became a pain and I prefer a quieter console and less... well, "WERRRRRRRRRR" haha
Yeah, i was BLOWN AWAY at the load times over what i was used to from last gen. I definitely get more gaming in and less waiting. Especially with quick resume.
Series X won for me for one reason, and one reason only, I actually found it in stock in the last 13 months! Had the PS5 been the one in stock when I looked I'd have started with that. That said, on balance, I'm happy with having the Series X especially with the Game Pass offerings. Having every system will always be the best approach though if you can afford it. I'll just now be postponing upgrading the PC and getting a PS5 until later in the generation.
You can’t go wrong with the one you can actually buy….I’ve still had no luck getting one. Then again I haven’t gone full “beautiful mind” trying to find one either.
@@darrylreedy5079 I just scored a PS5 today! I would definitely buy a series S as well if I didn't have a PC which I need for video editing. PC game pass is awesome. I just wish Sony would support native 1440p though.
You nailed it at the 17:55 mark. I feel the same. I’m a busy gamer Dad, Work , Wife 🙄, Kids , but when I want to forget about life for a few hours and blow off steam , owning all three guarantee me a GREAT game to play 👊🏼
I am a fan of both systems, and I was able to finally get the Xbox series x a week ago. From what I have seen so far, both systems have a lot to offer and the developers have only scratched the surface right now. I am waiting to see what offerings will be coming down the pike going into ‘22...
@@thatguy3213 game pass is great yeah, but if I’m completely honest that doesn’t make me lean towards it. Because game pass isn’t Series X. They’re apart. I mean, I’m a console gamer, but I can see a lot of people just get game pass on pc…
Probably the main thing I’ve noticed with casual gamers is that they are very anxious about shelling out money to buy a game, especially if they aren’t sure about whether or not they will enjoy it. I always saw gamepass as something for hardcore gamers, but it’s actually perfect for casual gamers that can just test out a bunch of games and see what they like and what they don’t like
I'm legally blind with cerebral palsy. I play lots of games, but research very carefully before buying. In previous gens demos have been huge to me, or I skip playing and let my bf play and watch the story. I'm from Canada and $80 plus tax for something I'm not sure about is a no-go for me. But a monthly fee to download anything in the catalog that intrigues me and give it a go? Heck yeah.
I recently got the PS5 and the Halo Series X in the same week and am loving both. The beauty of gaming in this day and age is the variety and choices we have. I still pick up my Switch at least once a week to play something there too!
Great comparison of the two. As someone who is primarily a switch user, I got a Series S about six months ago and absolutely love it. For people who only have a switch( or only game casually ), I would highly recommend a series S for game pass and the newest games, and it definitely holds up on online games. It’s great for its price and is not difficult to find.
I've had a Series X since December 20 and have loved playing a lot of 3rd party games (both purchased and through Game Pass) while waiting for the 1st party games to start trickling in. Have a PS4 which I've used to slowly work my way through the exclusives on the console and plan to do the same with thr PS5...if I can ever find one and afford it
I've been loving the PlayStation 4 (I hope soon a PS5), Switch and PC combo since quite a while. I think that's the combo that covers most of the options (if not all the options). Everytime the conversation of which one is better I answer the same thing: Buy what you believe will be the best experience for you. For some the exclusive are an important factor (it is for me), but for others the controller might be one, the UI, the apps you can run on the console. Choose that you prefer and have fun with it
PC covers all options, every Xbox games is day one on PC, Sony confirmed that starting 2022 almost all games will release on PC too, most good switch games also released on PC and few that didn't can be emulated and you can play them in 4k and 60fos instead of 720p and 20fps on switch. Only problem with PC is current GPU prices but it's not like you can buy PS5 if it even pops up in shop it's 2x what it should be.
@@wykydytron why do you make things up? Sony never said their exclusives are gonna release on PC, cause they will not. They will keep doing what the same, release them on Pc after a few years when they sent enough on Console. Don’t lie to yourself, there’ re plenty of great sony exclusives you can’t play on Pc, and it’s gonna stay that way, and for some that actually release on Lc you’ll have to wait years. So yeah… And switch?? Hahahaha dude! There’s not a single nintendo first party game on PC, who are you triyng to lie to?? Dude we all know is not true xD. Why do you embarace yourself? BTW I play on PC, PS5 and Switchs. It’s stupid to stick just to one option. You are just limiting yourself for no reason.
Couldn’t agree more, WrightOne! Not to mention the kinds of games you like and how you like playing them, if you want portability, etc. I feel like part of their libraries cater to different audiences, so it’s a matter of having options for you to choose from.
@@s0b3ran0o, he's right, sooner or later Playstation exclusives end up coming to PC, Especially Spiderman..... That game was great on my PC, God of war... It ran flawlessly too. I have playstation 3, 4 and 5 as well, and the only exclusives I really only play on them are the Last of us and LIttle big planet. And I have a series X in my bedroom for movies, game pass and Halo. Sidenote: you were only able to play Ps exclusives on release if you were even able to find a Ps that was actually available in stock or used.
@@TheDemonWithMorals but not with Nintendo. There's no much their first party game that can be found on other platforms than them itself. I mean like Wii sports, Mario kart 8, POKEMON red/green/blue/yellow, super Mario bros, animal crossing : new horizons, ETC are only exclusive to them. There's no way that those game will released on other platforms especially PC. And their games are iconic too NGL. Those are just too amazing since my parents childhood to my era. Great times
Man, Wood looked pretty swanky with his outfit for the Audible sponsor. Love how you put in a lot of effort into your sponsorships and you make them entertaining. I am thankful for your honesty and agree with you that it is just preference. All three of the giants have something for someone and I hope that everyone enjoys the games that they are currently playing.
I have owned the series x for about a month now and I love it! I sacrificed 4k for 1440 p on my monitor but I went from 60fps to 120 and I feel like it was worth it. I am a long-time fora horizon and halo fan, and those two franchises alone make Xbox worth it. Quick resume is also extremely nice.
I agree with you, I would take a higher refresh rate over higher resolution any day. The difference between 2k and 4k isn't a huge deal to me unless I'm on like a 70 inch TV lol
Which 1440p monitor would you recommend? I have never had one before, and I think 4k is too much for my graphics card, so i'm looking to buy a 2k one. I don't even mind if it's only 60hz.
There still is no games made specifically for either system so what difference does it matter which one you like, buy both and play your games when they come out.
It often comes down to what types of quality games you prefer. Xbox for first person shooters, arcade racers, and first person RPGs. PlayStation for third person action/action-adventure/ARPGs. I much prefer the later.
That's pretty much where I'm at. Xbox is lovely but playstation has all the rpgs I like, so I like playstation (and switch, even more the switch) best.
I bought the Switch this week after watching many videos on different consoles and I love it. Such a nice gaming console. Started playing subnautica and I'm loving it
Upgrade your breaker from a small fuse to a larger one. You probably have 15amp ones and could use 20 or even 25-30amp. An electrician can make sure this is a safe change to make and would be fast and cheap as well.
I've never understood "Console/platform wars" it's the strangest mind set I've seen people have. I love all platforms, gaming is the thing I focus on... Not what the games are played on. Whatever the game is out on, I will follow it for the game. I love all systems/platforms, they all have something different to offer. Thanks for this review! I have the PS5 but have been thinking about the XBX.
I was actually thinking about this today too! I was thinking it was odd that I always lean towards the Xbox...but this made me feel better about the "choice" lol.
Great video man. I am a Switch only gamer, by necessity, but I enjoy hearing about the other current gen consoles. As a long time viewer of your Nintendo focused videos, I appreciated your perspective and overview/review of the first year of multi platform gaming. Well done.
I bought a Series S a week and and it’s definitely one of the best consoles I’ve ever bought. One of my favorite features is the ability to run emulators out of the box on retail mode.
Gears 4, Gears 5, Gears Tactics, Forza Motorsport 7, Forza Horizon 4, Halo MCC, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and State of Decay 2 all got free Xbox Series X updates without requiring you to rebuy the game with "directors cut" labelled on them. Not to mention all original Xbox games now run at 4K resolution and a lot of Xbox 360 games are higher resolution and framerate.
Great video. really like how you break down your experience on each console. I am mostly a nintendo only gamer, but have been thinking about getting a PS5 as I feel that a lot of games that will be on xbox I can play on my pc.
I was recently gifted a PS5 for my birthday and it has been an amazing experience. I love the controller and upgraded capabilities of this console. I prefer PlayStation over Xbox but only because I’ve grown up with it. I love the exclusive game franchises on PlayStation and I’m so happy I was fortunate enough to get this console. Hopefully I can get an Xbox one of these days to experience all they have to offer as well.
Sony really got me with that DualSense controller. I buy most of my third party games on PS5 because of that haptic feedback and those adaptive triggers. To me, it’s just so cool to get that extra immersion with some game
It has so much potential. Like the gyro aiming in games. But just like that, 90% of games won't use them cause of reasons. Even though it is amazing and 100% optional
@@kurzka94 it is amazing. Having gyro aiming in halo infinite feels so good. But man I wished developers gave the option to have playstation buttons. I have no idea why this isn't the standard on pc. Sure, xbox is the majority. But users who use playstation controllers is still a significant amount
As a die hard Pearl Jam fan, hearing Wood mention Eddie Vedder in a video is a thing I never thought I’d hear. Been watching this channel for ages, and not once did I ever imagine Wood to be a PJ fan. I wish I could subscribe more to this channel now. 2 things I love have officially crossed paths.
I saw a few hints here and there (mostly kim wearing grunge sweaters) but i am definetely NOT surprised because Wood has stated that he had issues since he was a kid and as a massive pj fan that band HELPS a lot to get things going on and apreciate life in some ways even if you're living a difficult time...the band kicks a while being hopeful. 🙌
Just switched back to Playstation with the PS5, last time I had one was the PS2 so there are loads of games I missed out on that I'm playing now. Played the 360 and the Xbox One so there was less incentive to go Xbox this time. Both have loads of great games, interesting to hear your take on it. I'm super stoked about Horizon Forbidden West in February, looking forward to your coverage on it! :). Happy Holidays to you, Kim and the fur children!
So you are one of those unfortunate souls that when stuck in traffic.... you switch lanes because it is moving faster. But as soon as you do, that lane then stops and the previous lane you were in starts to move. I too suffer from this daily
Recently got a PS5 on thanksgiving. Have really been enjoying it so far. I really struggled to choose which console to get but I chose the PS5 because I missed out on all of the exclusives since I only ever owned the PS2. I also have a pretty decent PC so I can play basically every Xbox game on it. Definitely might buy the Series X later down the line though.
R u me? I also haven’t gotten a PlayStation since the PS2, but I bought a PS5 around Thanksgiving & have really been enjoying it! There are just too many exclusives for the PS4 I missed out on & some cool new titles coming out. I have to admit game pass is a really good deal & it kinda hurts having to spend even more money, but I like to get my games physical anyways so I have an excuse now to do so. I guess I just prefer handpicking my games rather than getting a bunch that I have to dig through and find the ones that I like.
I caved and purchased a Xbox series x since it was easier to get and and I had no luck securing a PS5 it’s disappointing how hard it still is to get a PS5!
The only reason why your power keeps turning off is , in your main breaker panel , all the plug circuits are on Arl fult breakers and when there is a spike in frequency on that circuit....the breaker will trip , does this make any sense to you . The problem is not that your house is new , it's how Ark fult breakers work in relation to other electrical devices!!!
I do love both consoles, but once the Series X entered my life I completely forgot about my PS5. There is just so many great games on Game Pass it's no joke. And since the Series is my first Xbox I had a LOT of catching up to do. I didn't buy Returnal nor Ratched, but to be honest, I didn't feel like I was missing much. If someone ask me which one they should buy, my answer would be "You will definitely play much more games if you buy an Xbox, but you can only play Playstation exclusives on a Playstation. You choose which one you prefer".
I was always a Nintendo-only gamer but during the pandemic I thought having a more powerful home console than the switch would be nice. I really like the appeal of the PlayStation exclusives and I love the gimmicks of the controller, but in the end I decided to go with Xbox because of Gamepass. It’s the easiest way of getting a huge library of games instantly without breaking the bank.
@Relly Ripper you know man.. I have always leaned toward Sony in the "console wars" (even though I always get both) and this reward system is where Microsoft has earned a big leg up. Typically I choose which one to buy first based on exclusive game titles, but this rewards system is a HUGE draw.
Man I would of recommend to get the ps5 for the exclusive games and get the series S instead of the X, that little thing is a beast but if you can only get one makes sense.
The only problem I have with the Xbox is the console updates and the game updates. The updates and downloads are very heavy, so if you are thinking of getting a series x you need to make sure you have a stable connection
I had the same issue with power going out (breaker tripping). I moved the breakers on the panel so that there would be a gap between the breakers that tripped and that fixed it for me. The arc sensing breakers were getting hot and that was causing it to trip.
Best way to think of it is you can get every XBOX game on Pc or laptop and so on. You cant with a swich or ps5 so if you want to be able to get a game you want its a simple choice. For the game market share PlayStation has 45% Then Nintendo then PC then XBOX. This should make it an easy choice.
I love the 20th anniversary Xbox controller it looks and feels SOO GOOD!! honestly those rubber grips should have been standard with the new controllers
Quick Resume on Series X has really set it apart from PS5 for me. Being able to switch between five or more games without having to relaunch and just jump right back into it. Not to mention auto-hdr, backwards compatibility, backwards compatible games getting resolution and framerate bumps, auto-texture filtering on the system level for all games, and more. I think it's a bit unfair to count Ghost Directors Cut and Death Stranding Director's cut as if they were new releases when Xbox released next-gen updates to Gears 5 and other games for free without rereleasing them too. Returnal and R&C were definitely nice but I just can't myself count Ghost and Death Stranding as if they were some kind of amazing updates that required a rerelease.
@@xrienzix3806 what do u mean u don't use it it's not really a choice if u play a game and u go to another game then u come back quick resume will automatically work
@@dick8997Haha some games on PS5 take over 45 seconds to load, whilst in Quick Resume they take 15 seconds. That's a massive difference you will notice. Your comment is totally false.
I remember being on team "meh, let's wait and see if these consoles have any faulty units or problems that will appear with time" and wanted to give PS5 and XSX at leat a year or two before buying them. Then Capcom announced DMC5 Special Edition... I knew I had to play it day one, being huge fan of DMC series. Having both PS4 and Xbox One X I had to choose one or the other to get into new generation. I went Xbox route, since I knew ALL of my games that I had at the moment will be playable, ALL my accesories will be compatible (Elite Series 2 is not only genius controller, it's also expensive one, so knowing that it will be future-compatible was huge deal for me) AND I get to play DMC5 SE nine days earlier over PS version. I don't think I spent so much time playing in the past as I spend now with XSX. This feeling of joy and pure fun came back to me with this hardware, and for this alone I reccomend Series X for anyone considering buying it.
I'd like to have the new Xbox for a few reasons 1, I already have a Xbox one (so backwards compatibility being the main reason), 2 Games with gold keeps giving me "new" games to play (to necessarily a New game but usually something I haven't played). But since I got Switch I mostly have been playing that.
I definitely need my Switch and PS5, but I’m glad I’ll be getting an Xbox Series X for Christmas to have all 3. I don’t think you can go wrong with either of these consoles this generation and I’m sick of the stupid console war. They are both amazing consoles, they both have their own strengths and weaknesses and excel in places where the other falls short, and they’re both pushing each other to do better and when that happens, we the gamers win. Like you said, it’s about preference. Personally, I’m with you in feeling like I want and need all 3 but I probably play my Switch most of all.
I can’t wait for the day I get the ps5, Xbox series x and the switch. I’m close to getting the switch but I still will have two more really expensive consoles to buy and I don’t have a job yet so it’s taking pretty long
I bought the PS5 and have loved it. I bought it for the controller features and 3D audio, and of course their library of games. It really excited me to have a controller that gives you that next level immersion. I also have a Switch. Between those two consoles I feel like I get everything.
@@Rapunzel879 I think PS now has their own version to compete with Dolby Vision maybe 🤔 But I do hear a different when wearing their headphone compared to when I had my Xbox One/ PS4, so it must do something better lol.
@@sashasees2587 Different, not better. Sony uses its own algorithm. On the Xbox you can choose between Atmos, DTS:X, and sonic. You can compare any of them to "3D audio". See for yourself.
@@sashasees2587 I got a ps5. I had the white Nintendo switch oled but later I decided to return it. I might get it later with Mario kart and party because the switch is openly available in stores and online. I only played NES and SNES games through the subscription and had Mario Odyssey, but didn't like it. Idk, the switch just didn't gave me the amount of hype I have for my ps5. Although I definitely like the cheap price of the subscription, demos for some of the games, the mobility from tv mode to handheld mode, and that clicking sound when you put the joysticks on the switch.
@@Rapunzel879 you wouldnt understand the level ps5 clearly. Spacial sound isnt anything special for either. The actual special thing is adaptive triggers and haptive feedback
I hadn't been able to get my hands on any of the new consoles until I got a Series S last week. I've always been a Playstation guy, so I got it with the plan of using it as a secondary console to my (hopefully) eventual PS5. However, I've absolutely fallen in love with my Xbox, and I might end up having a similar thing where I get third-party games on Xbox and save my Playstation for the exclusives.
The only reason to any home counsel is so I can play Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone, chamber of secrets, and prisoner of Azkaban and the only reason(s) to get a regular switch is to get all the labo kits and to get the fit wheel so that I can get fit with the fit wheel but otherwise I don’t care if I play in dock or tabletop modes as I basically like to play on a handheld system
Same, ps4 pro, and my switch is really all I need atm. I already have a gaming pc.... plus now that Xbox and Sony are loosing a lot of exclusives to pc as well I really have NO CLUE when the heck I'm going to feel like I need the consoles.
I am a PS fan through & through, but I have nothing but respect for Xbox. I have a PS5, but I would say a Series S paired with Game Pass if definitely the most budget friendly option for gaming these days
I always want a disc version if I can. I have to say I am looking to get a Xbox series S after Christmas. It seems to be a good console and use game pass with it.
PS5 for me just because the exclusives were pretty great with Returnal, Ratchet, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. Forza Horizon 5 is legitimately incredible and Games Pass is the greatest deal in gaming. Can’t wait for 2022!
All ps exclusives will be released on PC so if someone have decent PC there is no point to own any of the consoles especially seeing how you cannot buy one for normal price
@@vincewithaz They will probably release on PC, with 1-2 year delay after PS5 release. Sony bought a company that specializes in ports to PC. Plus, greed. Why should they get only $70 on a PS5, if they can ask for $70 also on a PC. 2 years ago I was thinking Nintendo games are expensive, but now...?
Did you played Forza5 ? I played with friends and we get bored so much that everybody wanted from me to turn on Drive Club because it is challenging, rewarding and you need to drive on the road, problem is open world in Forza 5 because it is slow passed game , you driving and driving on road and off road it doesn't matter and that's killing immersion and it is boring
My husband and I are big gamers so we usually have all the consoles and we both have gaming desktops. However with the supply shortage we have yet to get a ps5. I did manage to get a Series S a couple of weeks back for my husband's birthday in a couple of days. I would say I prefer Switch to everything just cause being able to watch something while I do my chores in a game is a big plus. I'm big on multitasking but I love Xbox for the simple fact that Fable 2 is what first got me into gaming. Also as someone who is hella picky about games, game pass is a life saver for me to try something out without having to drop a ton of money on it. Playstation though is where Persona 5 lives....sooooo it gets a lot of points for that lol. I also really love Horizion Zero Dawn and hope I can get my hands on a PS5 before Forbidden West comes out. 🤞🤞🤞
I adore game pass for the same reason ! 😭I’m a picky gamer and need options because I’m not always sure what I’ll love or loathe. I think it’s really good for new gamers, it gave me the chance to start learning what genres I like or dislike. The Xbox has many charms
@@kue5053 the switch is my favorite console so I'm extremely excited about it! I still haven't been able to get a PS5 ☹️ I might just give up and get the new Xbox since those are pretty easy to pick up now.
@@nerdyshitwithjess6893 wow really? I live in Brazil and till some time it was basically impossible to get a PS5, XSX or a switch, but now it's basically everywhere, I thought it was like that on North America too Also, you have a PC right? It's easier to just use the gamepass and play persona there, it's cheaper than having to pay for all the three games on the other plataforms
@@kue5053 yes I have a gaming PC but I honestly just prefer handheld gaming more and usually only game on my PC for early access games that I don't want to wait on like My Time at Sandrock.
Wood does a very fair summation of both platforms here. They both are really great for the different things that they do or boast. I bought Series X for launch day and have loved the machine and game pass since, but i admit it did lack those games that you needed it to buy for. Unlike the PS5 that has felt more like a special next generation console withits dualsense and its exclusives that have launched for it. Loving both and my switch for the nintendo first party stuff and convenience of portability.
I have gamed on both consoles all my life. Xbox has always been my shooter/hack and slash/multiplayer online console, while the Playstation has been more of an rpg system for me. I can't justify buying either one right now, but eventually, I will add them to my collection.
I finally got ps5 disc, series x, and switch oled. I loveee all of them. My ps5 is an exclusive machine and I been buying most 3rd party games on series x because have more space on series x and prefer it for multiplayer mostly. I love the haptic feedback of ps5 controller but the series x controller is still most comfortable to me.
Im with him if its a solo obviously exclusive experience i get a game for playstation but anything multiplat/online i get it for xbox i just prefer xboxes multiplayer more. Probably do the same thing this gen that i did last which was pick up the ps4 later on in the gens life cycle. Then pick up the hyped exclusives for $20 a pop which i feel is totally worth the solo one time experiences they offer
For me, it's almost always come down to what system most my friends are playing on. I have both as well, I enjoy both but lean towards being on my Ps5 more because of the friends
I can relate to late nights playing halo 3. But that was 360 and for me halo games haven’t been the same since then. So I made the switch to PS5. The PS5 controller is amazing Astro’s Playroom really showcases what it can do and it make the experience that much better. Hopefully more games take advantage of what all that the controller can do.
My play style is pretty much exactly the same. I have all three current consoles, but play Playstation for the exclusives, Xbox for Gamepass, multi-plats and online multiplayer (friends on PC and Xbox easily team up through the Xbox PC app) and Switch for the Nintendo exclusives and good games to be portable (Diablo 2 on my hands? past self would never believe this!) Also use my xbox daily as a media center to stream youtube and other apps, easy to navigate with a universal remote. All the systems are great, and I am glad (and fortunate) that I can enjoy them all in my own way.
Have you managed to buy either a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S yet? Or are you still trying to? What has YOUR experiencing been like?? 😱

Wood, call an electrician and have them add additional circuits to your existing breaker box. They can split various rooms into smaller pieces so you have less load on each circuit. It will just take a couple of hours and will be really low cost.
Depending on the size of his house it could be a lot more than a few hours or a low cost.
Could just need to up the breaker that’s flipping. Sometimes they don’t install the correct breakers for the load as well.
F the breaker hard wire it
@@AthiestDing that could be dangerous. I mean like, likely chance of your house burning down dangerous. The breaker is in place to keep circuits from overheating and catching fire when you try to use too much electricity. If you hardwire the breaker, you run the risk of overloading the circuit and having no way to stop it from causing severe damage to your house. It would be smarter for him to hire an electrician and do what everyone else in this comment thread is suggesting, split the breakers more sections to lighten the load.
Either breakers need to be upgraded from 15amp to 20amp or something a lot of people don't know about phases. If they put A/C on phase A and then all your lights on phase A it can overload and trip the breakers. they may just be putting to many high draw items on one circuit/breaker by shotty electricians and just needs to break out to lighten the load. That is not just a couple hours of work. changing phases of breakers or replacing them is 15 minutes of work. breaking out the high loaded circuits requires pulling new circuits. if they used romex or pipe that are not straight shots to the panel it will take more than a couple hours. just get a reputable electrician.
@BeatEmUps, I just watched a bunch of comparison videos because I don't have an Xbox, and was curious about the differences. You're the first reviewer who wasn't crazy biased in either direction and kept it real. Thank you for doing justice to all of the platforms and keep up the good work
I'm glad to see Wood also took Bob's lessons on how to make an imaginative and interesting ad breaks.

I'm a Playstation guy. It's my preferred platform. That being said, it's mostly do to that is where my friends list is at. It's the platform I've dedicated to. I like my trophies, I'm the demographic for their exclusives. Xbox has been killing it with their services though, and I applaud their commitment to game pass. With all the studio acquisitions they've made over the last couple years I think Xbox players are going to be in for a bright future of gaming. Love to see consumer friendly practices and good games being made, no matter where they are played.
I have no friends so basically when i play xbox i am just very bored and it feels like im on a forever grind
@QuietJoy i'm so glad you are very positive and, despite preferring one console, you aren't bashing the other console and their playerbase, and being very respectful. Cheers to you, mate.
Wish all of Twitter adopted this attitude.. so annoying with all of the console war bs
A PlayStation player that says positives about Xbox? Unheard of. Nah jk bro, glad to see a good take and what not. Have a good day.
I’m in the same situation
@BeatEmUps One Correction about Quick Resume is that it is not capped @ 3 Games. You can literally have Unlimited Games Open in the background, but I found 4 is a Good Max. 5 & Above starts to slow down the Console a little bit.
I have both Ps5 and Series S and love both like Wood said I can’t imagine not being able to play the current games on either system
I personally like to have everything to play games on. I love PlayStation for all of there super unique exclusives, I treat game pass on Xbox like Netflix and try out a bunch of games I never thought to play and end up really enjoying a ton of them, and the switch have been my go to when I want to enjoy games while I’m away from home. Each system has its own unique perk and it feels silly to try and say which is better when they are all great in their own way.
This right here. I’ll buy my main big games on PS5, use my XSX for Game Pass, and my Switch for Nintendo exclusives and games that aren’t worsened by being played on a less powerful system, like Hades.
I Agree with all that Wood and you just said. The only thing I would mention Is that If you like playing on a PC (Controller and or Keyboard & Mouse) and you have a good PC that have same performance or more as the Xbox Series X you don't really need to buy a Xbox at any shapes or forms because you can benefits of all the things that Xbox offers like the game pass and to be honest better performance. The only thing that would be a downgrade about what I just said is that it's hard to play your game pass games from the couch with a PC :P
@@PraXisWebDesign
Well you'd also miss out on Crossfire X as apparently that's not coming to PC just Xbox which is sorta weird but yea for me Xbox is the way to go because to buy a competent PC that would rival the Xbox in performance I'd have to spend as much as an Xbox Series X PS5 and Nintendo Switch combined which is a no go if I'm spending that much I'd rather get 3 really great consoles out of it it not one PC.
"Super unique"? Really? They all literaly story driven, 3rd person, action-adventure, narrative games.

I don't know man Ghost of Tsushima has the absolute best sword based combat out there period. There I said it.
Always interesting to hear a Nintendo main give their thoughts on the other platforms
Here's one :
*I should have bought anything but a switch* 💀
I have the exact same bias toward Xbox when it comes to third party titles. What's your personal take over physical vs digital? If you've made a video of it I'm sorry but I'd love to hear your take on it. I go mostly digital now but I do miss the physical game boxes a bit, the disks just became a pain and I prefer a quieter console and less... well, "WERRRRRRRRRR" haha
i love your contents and reviews bruh, i’m waiting for your indepth reviews on the third party games on ps5 and xbox series x ✌🏽much love💛
Yeah, i was BLOWN AWAY at the load times over what i was used to from last gen. I definitely get more gaming in and less waiting. Especially with quick resume.
@Trevor Phillips Industries why is this so true 😂
Series X won for me for one reason, and one reason only, I actually found it in stock in the last 13 months! Had the PS5 been the one in stock when I looked I'd have started with that. That said, on balance, I'm happy with having the Series X especially with the Game Pass offerings. Having every system will always be the best approach though if you can afford it. I'll just now be postponing upgrading the PC and getting a PS5 until later in the generation.
I do not know what u said
@@hottrin6103 basically you can't go wrong with either this gen.
You can’t go wrong with the one you can actually buy….I’ve still had no luck getting one. Then again I haven’t gone full “beautiful mind” trying to find one either.
I agree. I have them both, but I play the SX way more atm.
@@darrylreedy5079 I just scored a PS5 today! I would definitely buy a series S as well if I didn't have a PC which I need for video editing. PC game pass is awesome. I just wish Sony would support native 1440p though.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
You nailed it at the 17:55 mark. I feel the same. I’m a busy gamer Dad, Work , Wife 🙄, Kids , but when I want to forget about life for a few hours and blow off steam , owning all three guarantee me a GREAT game to play 👊🏼
I usually skip through the sponsor ads in the video, but Wood makes his ads part of the video ,which is amazing to see someone do.
I am a fan of both systems, and I was able to finally get the Xbox series x a week ago. From what I have seen so far, both systems have a lot to offer and the developers have only scratched the surface right now. I am waiting to see what offerings will be coming down the pike going into ‘22...
Which do u lean towards though
@@anthonycalle1338 xbox, gamepass is a deal no matter what.
@@thatguy3213 game pass is great yeah, but if I’m completely honest that doesn’t make me lean towards it. Because game pass isn’t Series X. They’re apart. I mean, I’m a console gamer, but I can see a lot of people just get game pass on pc…
Congrats Microsoft bought Activision blizzard. You can play more exclusives.
@@shivamtripathi2857 they won’t be exclusive m8 they already said that.
Probably the main thing I’ve noticed with casual gamers is that they are very anxious about shelling out money to buy a game, especially if they aren’t sure about whether or not they will enjoy it.
I always saw gamepass as something for hardcore gamers, but it’s actually perfect for casual gamers that can just test out a bunch of games and see what they like and what they don’t like
I'm legally blind with cerebral palsy. I play lots of games, but research very carefully before buying. In previous gens demos have been huge to me, or I skip playing and let my bf play and watch the story. I'm from Canada and $80 plus tax for something I'm not sure about is a no-go for me. But a monthly fee to download anything in the catalog that intrigues me and give it a go? Heck yeah.

Brilliant analysis 👏 easily the best take from anyone on RUclips I have seen
I am glad I found this channel. Man you are a lot like me game taste wise:P Great work!
Regardless of analytics, please more of these videos! it’s nice to hear about other consoles too
Hey for your power issue… try a battery backup surge protector outlet. It balances the power draw. They sell a couple at Best Buy.
What are you talking about?
DOPE VIDEO, EXCELLENT REVIEWS
That was the best Audible advert I have ever seen and if I didn’t already have it, I’d totally get it after seeing that ad!
Great comparison of the two. As someone who is primarily a switch user, I got a Series S about six months ago and absolutely love it. For people who only have a switch( or only game casually ), I would highly recommend a series S for game pass and the newest games, and it definitely holds up on online games. It’s great for its price and is not difficult to find.
What this person said!
Yup
@Bobly Roskels I've got a ps5 and a PC, so I've got the best of both worlds
@@Robospy1 yes
@Bobly Roskels Xbox hasn’t even done anything with Bethesda except do an earlier launch on deathloop on ps5
I've had a Series X since December 20 and have loved playing a lot of 3rd party games (both purchased and through Game Pass) while waiting for the 1st party games to start trickling in. Have a PS4 which I've used to slowly work my way through the exclusives on the console and plan to do the same with thr PS5...if I can ever find one and afford it
I’m the same, just got to Uncharted 4 on PS4 so no rush on the PS5 for now. Definitely want one tho.
You need to get a UPS power back up my friend!! Thanks for the discussion, it was a good listen!
Great review! Thanks!
I've been loving the PlayStation 4 (I hope soon a PS5), Switch and PC combo since quite a while. I think that's the combo that covers most of the options (if not all the options). Everytime the conversation of which one is better I answer the same thing: Buy what you believe will be the best experience for you. For some the exclusive are an important factor (it is for me), but for others the controller might be one, the UI, the apps you can run on the console. Choose that you prefer and have fun with it
PC covers all options, every Xbox games is day one on PC, Sony confirmed that starting 2022 almost all games will release on PC too, most good switch games also released on PC and few that didn't can be emulated and you can play them in 4k and 60fos instead of 720p and 20fps on switch. Only problem with PC is current GPU prices but it's not like you can buy PS5 if it even pops up in shop it's 2x what it should be.
@@wykydytron why do you make things up? Sony never said their exclusives are gonna release on PC, cause they will not. They will keep doing what the same, release them on Pc after a few years when they sent enough on Console. Don’t lie to yourself, there’ re plenty of great sony exclusives you can’t play on Pc, and it’s gonna stay that way, and for some that actually release on Lc you’ll have to wait years.
So yeah…
And switch?? Hahahaha dude! There’s not a single nintendo first party game on PC, who are you triyng to lie to?? Dude we all know is not true xD. Why do you embarace yourself?
BTW I play on PC, PS5 and Switchs. It’s stupid to stick just to one option. You are just limiting yourself for no reason.
Couldn’t agree more, WrightOne! Not to mention the kinds of games you like and how you like playing them, if you want portability, etc. I feel like part of their libraries cater to different audiences, so it’s a matter of having options for you to choose from.
@@s0b3ran0o, he's right, sooner or later Playstation exclusives end up coming to PC, Especially Spiderman..... That game was great on my PC, God of war... It ran flawlessly too. I have playstation 3, 4 and 5 as well, and the only exclusives I really only play on them are the Last of us and LIttle big planet.
And I have a series X in my bedroom for movies, game pass and Halo.
Sidenote: you were only able to play Ps exclusives on release if you were even able to find a Ps that was actually available in stock or used.
@@TheDemonWithMorals but not with Nintendo. There's no much their first party game that can be found on other platforms than them itself. I mean like Wii sports, Mario kart 8, POKEMON red/green/blue/yellow, super Mario bros, animal crossing : new horizons, ETC are only exclusive to them. There's no way that those game will released on other platforms especially PC. And their games are iconic too NGL. Those are just too amazing since my parents childhood to my era. Great times
Man, Wood looked pretty swanky with his outfit for the Audible sponsor. Love how you put in a lot of effort into your sponsorships and you make them entertaining. I am thankful for your honesty and agree with you that it is just preference. All three of the giants have something for someone and I hope that everyone enjoys the games that they are currently playing.
Awesome comparison.. I’m a huge Gears and Halo gamer too and totally related to your perspective..
Great video , just picked up my Ps5 after 14 months of waiting 👌👌
I have owned the series x for about a month now and I love it! I sacrificed 4k for 1440 p on my monitor but I went from 60fps to 120 and I feel like it was worth it. I am a long-time fora horizon and halo fan, and those two franchises alone make Xbox worth it. Quick resume is also extremely nice.
I agree with you, I would take a higher refresh rate over higher resolution any day. The difference between 2k and 4k isn't a huge deal to me unless I'm on like a 70 inch TV lol
Which 1440p monitor would you recommend? I have never had one before, and I think 4k is too much for my graphics card, so i'm looking to buy a 2k one. I don't even mind if it's only 60hz.
Enjoy those 2 games
Sony has tons of fun
never ever sacrifice 4k for 1440p after you seen the matrix on ps5. Afterall part of the reason why ppl buy the ps5 is the graphics not fps.
@@Slit-throat I would take 4k everyday because who needs a gaming pc when you have PS5
Glad I have both but for me my Xbox Series X is my go to machine. Sony's exclusives are great but I prefer Xbox's and Game Pass.
I feel the same
Well your profile pic is what an Xbox fanboy would have so of course you would rather Xbox even though anyone can agree ps has better exclusives.

There still is no games made specifically for either system so what difference does it matter which one you like, buy both and play your games when they come out.
I enjoy your videos and your analysis. Can you do another review of Cyberpunk and its updates? :)
It often comes down to what types of quality games you prefer. Xbox for first person shooters, arcade racers, and first person RPGs. PlayStation for third person action/action-adventure/ARPGs. I much prefer the later.
You are basically right about that. Huh I never thought of it that way. I personally prefer to play every game ever made. Not achievable but still.
Yeah I just like the games PlayStation makes much more than anything Xbox has put out
@@cyberlivion8363 I mean that’s not really true though, Xbox now owns the largest rpg studio on the world now.

Upgrade your breaker from a small fuse to a larger one. You probably have 15amp ones and could use 20 or even 25-30amp. An electrician can make sure this is a safe change to make and would be fast and cheap as well.
I've never understood "Console/platform wars" it's the strangest mind set I've seen people have. I love all platforms, gaming is the thing I focus on... Not what the games are played on. Whatever the game is out on, I will follow it for the game. I love all systems/platforms, they all have something different to offer. Thanks for this review! I have the PS5 but have been thinking about the XBX.
I was actually thinking about this today too! I was thinking it was odd that I always lean towards the Xbox...but this made me feel better about the "choice" lol.
Great video man. I am a Switch only gamer, by necessity, but I enjoy hearing about the other current gen consoles. As a long time viewer of your Nintendo focused videos, I appreciated your perspective and overview/review of the first year of multi platform gaming. Well done.

Good Morning Wood!
I was recently gifted a PS5 for my birthday and it has been an amazing experience. I love the controller and upgraded capabilities of this console. I prefer PlayStation over Xbox but only because I’ve grown up with it. I love the exclusive game franchises on PlayStation and I’m so happy I was fortunate enough to get this console. Hopefully I can get an Xbox one of these days to experience all they have to offer as well.
I wish I was gifted a console on my birthday 😑
Sony really got me with that DualSense controller. I buy most of my third party games on PS5 because of that haptic feedback and those adaptive triggers. To me, it’s just so cool to get that extra immersion with some game

As a die hard Pearl Jam fan, hearing Wood mention Eddie Vedder in a video is a thing I never thought I’d hear. Been watching this channel for ages, and not once did I ever imagine Wood to be a PJ fan. I wish I could subscribe more to this channel now. 2 things I love have officially crossed paths.
I saw a few hints here and there (mostly kim wearing grunge sweaters) but i am definetely NOT surprised because Wood has stated that he had issues since he was a kid and as a massive pj fan that band HELPS a lot to get things going on and apreciate life in some ways even if you're living a difficult time...the band kicks a while being hopeful. 🙌
Great video. I also got all 3. Best value!
I got my PS5 with Vanguard and an extra controller 2 days ago, it really feels next gen! I wish good luck to everyone who is trying to get it.
Just switched back to Playstation with the PS5, last time I had one was the PS2 so there are loads of games I missed out on that I'm playing now. Played the 360 and the Xbox One so there was less incentive to go Xbox this time. Both have loads of great games, interesting to hear your take on it. I'm super stoked about Horizon Forbidden West in February, looking forward to your coverage on it! :). Happy Holidays to you, Kim and the fur children!
So you are one of those unfortunate souls that when stuck in traffic.... you switch lanes because it is moving faster. But as soon as you do, that lane then stops and the previous lane you were in starts to move.
I too suffer from this daily
Same as me
Same but now I said yolo and have all three consoles and a gaming PC. Might as well play all the games lol
Same as me I’ve always been a Xbox fan , so most of the games didn’t appeal to me cause I beat them all but I still have both consoles
Recently got a PS5 on thanksgiving. Have really been enjoying it so far. I really struggled to choose which console to get but I chose the PS5 because I missed out on all of the exclusives since I only ever owned the PS2. I also have a pretty decent PC so I can play basically every Xbox game on it. Definitely might buy the Series X later down the line though.
If you have a good enough pc i see no reason to buy xbox. Just grab an xbox controller and play on pc. Just my opinion :)
In my day Thanksgiving was a gathering. No gifts. You kids these days are lucky and honestly spoiled.
@@rifaiiixiii thats what I don't understand what ppl with a pc don't due lol get the ps5 for the exclusives and pc anything else
@Bobly Roskels They do not own Sega
R u me? I also haven’t gotten a PlayStation since the PS2, but I bought a PS5 around Thanksgiving & have really been enjoying it! There are just too many exclusives for the PS4 I missed out on & some cool new titles coming out. I have to admit game pass is a really good deal & it kinda hurts having to spend even more money, but I like to get my games physical anyways so I have an excuse now to do so. I guess I just prefer handpicking my games rather than getting a bunch that I have to dig through and find the ones that I like.
I caved and purchased a Xbox series x since it was easier to get and and I had no luck securing a PS5 it’s disappointing how hard it still is to get a PS5!
The only reason why your power keeps turning off is , in your main breaker panel , all the plug circuits are on Arl fult breakers and when there is a spike in frequency on that circuit....the breaker will trip , does this make any sense to you . The problem is not that your house is new , it's how Ark fult breakers work in relation to other electrical devices!!!
I do love both consoles, but once the Series X entered my life I completely forgot about my PS5. There is just so many great games on Game Pass it's no joke. And since the Series is my first Xbox I had a LOT of catching up to do. I didn't buy Returnal nor Ratched, but to be honest, I didn't feel like I was missing much. If someone ask me which one they should buy, my answer would be "You will definitely play much more games if you buy an Xbox, but you can only play Playstation exclusives on a Playstation. You choose which one you prefer".
Same gamepass keeps me so busy. I feel like a kid walking through blockbuster every weekend picking out a game.
yep definitely
i haven't played ps4 much so now im playing all these games on ps5 and haven't play xbox much
Ratchet is a blast, Returnal is good too. I'd suggest at least playing Ratchet.
@@jaca316 Having access to past games on GamePass that I didn't previously own, is the point here.
I was always a Nintendo-only gamer but during the pandemic I thought having a more powerful home console than the switch would be nice.
I really like the appeal of the PlayStation exclusives and I love the gimmicks of the controller, but in the end I decided to go with Xbox because of Gamepass. It’s the easiest way of getting a huge library of games instantly without breaking the bank.
Same with me
@Relly Ripper really? Plz do tell how as I am just a Ps5 boi
@Relly Ripper you know man.. I have always leaned toward Sony in the "console wars" (even though I always get both) and this reward system is where Microsoft has earned a big leg up. Typically I choose which one to buy first based on exclusive game titles, but this rewards system is a HUGE draw.
@Relly Ripper the Sony store is their onlinr store for all other things Sony (not Playstation related, think like TV, sound systems, etc.)
Man I would of recommend to get the ps5 for the exclusive games and get the series S instead of the X, that little thing is a beast but if you can only get one makes sense.
This is how you create a “thoughts” video. PS5 user here and love it a ton! Credit to all points made in this vid!
The only problem I have with the Xbox is the console updates and the game updates. The updates and downloads are very heavy, so if you are thinking of getting a series x you need to make sure you have a stable connection
I had the same issue with power going out (breaker tripping). I moved the breakers on the panel so that there would be a gap between the breakers that tripped and that fixed it for me. The arc sensing breakers were getting hot and that was causing it to trip.
I got a og switch, PS5, and gaming PC. Definitely would say this is the best scenario you get all the exclusives for all platforms :D.
Good way to do it! Nice setup 👍
gotta love those arc fault breakers they require nowadays.
I subbed, you seem like a really cool dude!
Thanks for giving your opinion! Id love to take this into consideration during my purchase IF THEY WERE IN STOCK 😫😫😫
Xbox is apparently on target
I was lucky enough to get a ps5 and a laptop with a 3060 this year looking at getting Xbox x next year
Xbox's are all over and in stock through Xbox All Access
Best way to think of it is you can get every XBOX game on Pc or laptop and so on. You cant with a swich or ps5 so if you want to be able to get a game you want its a simple choice. For the game market share PlayStation has 45% Then Nintendo then PC then XBOX. This should make it an easy choice.
@@Nazyairsengikar better way to look at it. What are your friends playing on? Get that one.

Same I have the other version of the 20th anniversary controller the stupid 200-300$ version but the standard feels better lol
Best comparison video on RUclips.
Quick Resume on Series X has really set it apart from PS5 for me. Being able to switch between five or more games without having to relaunch and just jump right back into it. Not to mention auto-hdr, backwards compatibility, backwards compatible games getting resolution and framerate bumps, auto-texture filtering on the system level for all games, and more.
I think it's a bit unfair to count Ghost Directors Cut and Death Stranding Director's cut as if they were new releases when Xbox released next-gen updates to Gears 5 and other games for free without rereleasing them too. Returnal and R&C were definitely nice but I just can't myself count Ghost and Death Stranding as if they were some kind of amazing updates that required a rerelease.
Quick resume doesn’t even matter. With the speed of these SSD’s, there’s no need for quick resume. I don’t even use it
@@xrienzix3806 what do u mean u don't use it it's not really a choice if u play a game and u go to another game then u come back quick resume will automatically work

@@marksapollo Fr. While the ps5 just loaded the Xbox already playing for a half minutes. That's like loading in 3x speed.
I remember being on team "meh, let's wait and see if these consoles have any faulty units or problems that will appear with time" and wanted to give PS5 and XSX at leat a year or two before buying them. Then Capcom announced DMC5 Special Edition... I knew I had to play it day one, being huge fan of DMC series. Having both PS4 and Xbox One X I had to choose one or the other to get into new generation. I went Xbox route, since I knew ALL of my games that I had at the moment will be playable, ALL my accesories will be compatible (Elite Series 2 is not only genius controller, it's also expensive one, so knowing that it will be future-compatible was huge deal for me) AND I get to play DMC5 SE nine days earlier over PS version.
I don't think I spent so much time playing in the past as I spend now with XSX. This feeling of joy and pure fun came back to me with this hardware, and for this alone I reccomend Series X for anyone considering buying it.
I'd like to have the new Xbox for a few reasons 1, I already have a Xbox one (so backwards compatibility being the main reason), 2 Games with gold keeps giving me "new" games to play (to necessarily a New game but usually something I haven't played).
But since I got Switch I mostly have been playing that.
I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews with biomutant and personal I love it
Hey man, nice house! RUclips has been good to you! Welp, fug it, I may as well subscribe too.
I definitely need my Switch and PS5, but I’m glad I’ll be getting an Xbox Series X for Christmas to have all 3. I don’t think you can go wrong with either of these consoles this generation and I’m sick of the stupid console war. They are both amazing consoles, they both have their own strengths and weaknesses and excel in places where the other falls short, and they’re both pushing each other to do better and when that happens, we the gamers win. Like you said, it’s about preference. Personally, I’m with you in feeling like I want and need all 3 but I probably play my Switch most of all.
How are next gen consoles so readily available where you live???
@@amysteriousviewer3772 You just need to get your name in queue at different locations. Did that at an EB games near me and had a PS5 four days later.
I can’t wait for the day I get the ps5, Xbox series x and the switch. I’m close to getting the switch but I still will have two more really expensive consoles to buy and I don’t have a job yet so it’s taking pretty long
@@Capybara2240 then you will be double or triple dipping on the same game lol
@@ProFoundMarkVII what? There’s different games on different consoles
I bought the PS5 and have loved it. I bought it for the controller features and 3D audio, and of course their library of games. It really excited me to have a controller that gives you that next level immersion. I also have a Switch. Between those two consoles I feel like I get everything.
3D audio is just a gimmick. Xbox has had spatial sound since the OG Xbox and the Series consoles support Dolby Vision/Atmos while the PS5 does not.
@@Rapunzel879 I think PS now has their own version to compete with Dolby Vision maybe 🤔
But I do hear a different when wearing their headphone compared to when I had my Xbox One/ PS4, so it must do something better lol.
@@sashasees2587 Different, not better. Sony uses its own algorithm. On the Xbox you can choose between Atmos, DTS:X, and sonic. You can compare any of them to "3D audio". See for yourself.
@@sashasees2587 I got a ps5. I had the white Nintendo switch oled but later I decided to return it. I might get it later with Mario kart and party because the switch is openly available in stores and online. I only played NES and SNES games through the subscription and had Mario Odyssey, but didn't like it. Idk, the switch just didn't gave me the amount of hype I have for my ps5. Although I definitely like the cheap price of the subscription, demos for some of the games, the mobility from tv mode to handheld mode, and that clicking sound when you put the joysticks on the switch.
@@Rapunzel879 you wouldnt understand the level ps5 clearly. Spacial sound isnt anything special for either. The actual special thing is adaptive triggers and haptive feedback
I hadn't been able to get my hands on any of the new consoles until I got a Series S last week. I've always been a Playstation guy, so I got it with the plan of using it as a secondary console to my (hopefully) eventual PS5. However, I've absolutely fallen in love with my Xbox, and I might end up having a similar thing where I get third-party games on Xbox and save my Playstation for the exclusives.
The only reason to any home counsel is so I can play Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone, chamber of secrets, and prisoner of Azkaban and the only reason(s) to get a regular switch is to get all the labo kits and to get the fit wheel so that I can get fit with the fit wheel but otherwise I don’t care if I play in dock or tabletop modes as I basically like to play on a handheld system
Still rocking PS4 Pro, trying to go through and finish my endless back catalog of games
Same, ps4 pro, and my switch is really all I need atm. I already have a gaming pc.... plus now that Xbox and Sony are loosing a lot of exclusives to pc as well I really have NO CLUE when the heck I'm going to feel like I need the consoles.
I am a PS fan through & through, but I have nothing but respect for Xbox. I have a PS5, but I would say a Series S paired with Game Pass if definitely the most budget friendly option for gaming these days
I always want a disc version if I can. I have to say I am looking to get a Xbox series S after Christmas. It seems to be a good console and use game pass with it.
@@gamer2101 It's a great console. Smokes anything in last generation
You should do a game collection video
Watched in July great video! 2022
PS5 for me just because the exclusives were pretty great with Returnal, Ratchet, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. Forza Horizon 5 is legitimately incredible and Games Pass is the greatest deal in gaming. Can’t wait for 2022!
All ps exclusives will be released on PC so if someone have decent PC there is no point to own any of the consoles especially seeing how you cannot buy one for normal price
@@wykydytron where did you get that info from?
@@wykydytron not all. And also this gen consoles are the best deals in gaming. You cannot buy a pc as capable for anything close to 300-500 dollars
@@vincewithaz
They will probably release on PC, with 1-2 year delay after PS5 release. Sony bought a company that specializes in ports to PC.
Plus, greed.
Why should they get only $70 on a PS5, if they can ask for $70 also on a PC.
2 years ago I was thinking Nintendo games are expensive, but now...?
Did you played Forza5 ? I played with friends and we get bored so much that everybody wanted from me to turn on Drive Club because it is challenging, rewarding and you need to drive on the road, problem is open world in Forza 5 because it is slow passed game , you driving and driving on road and off road it doesn't matter and that's killing immersion and it is boring
My husband and I are big gamers so we usually have all the consoles and we both have gaming desktops. However with the supply shortage we have yet to get a ps5. I did manage to get a Series S a couple of weeks back for my husband's birthday in a couple of days. I would say I prefer Switch to everything just cause being able to watch something while I do my chores in a game is a big plus. I'm big on multitasking but I love Xbox for the simple fact that Fable 2 is what first got me into gaming. Also as someone who is hella picky about games, game pass is a life saver for me to try something out without having to drop a ton of money on it. Playstation though is where Persona 5 lives....sooooo it gets a lot of points for that lol. I also really love Horizion Zero Dawn and hope I can get my hands on a PS5 before Forbidden West comes out. 🤞🤞🤞
I adore game pass for the same reason ! 😭I’m a picky gamer and need options because I’m not always sure what I’ll love or loathe. I think it’s really good for new gamers, it gave me the chance to start learning what genres I like or dislike. The Xbox has many charms
6 months later, what do you think of persona coming to every plataform now?
@@kue5053 the switch is my favorite console so I'm extremely excited about it! I still haven't been able to get a PS5 ☹️ I might just give up and get the new Xbox since those are pretty easy to pick up now.
@@nerdyshitwithjess6893 wow really? I live in Brazil and till some time it was basically impossible to get a PS5, XSX or a switch, but now it's basically everywhere, I thought it was like that on North America too
Also, you have a PC right? It's easier to just use the gamepass and play persona there, it's cheaper than having to pay for all the three games on the other plataforms
@@kue5053 yes I have a gaming PC but I honestly just prefer handheld gaming more and usually only game on my PC for early access games that I don't want to wait on like My Time at Sandrock.
Wood does a very fair summation of both platforms here. They both are really great for the different things that they do or boast. I bought Series X for launch day and have loved the machine and game pass since, but i admit it did lack those games that you needed it to buy for. Unlike the PS5 that has felt more like a special next generation console withits dualsense and its exclusives that have launched for it.
Loving both and my switch for the nintendo first party stuff and convenience of portability.
How have you been able to purchase EITHER OR BOTH ps5 and xbox x?? I cannot find them anywhere........STILL
I have gamed on both consoles all my life. Xbox has always been my shooter/hack and slash/multiplayer online console, while the Playstation has been more of an rpg system for me. I can't justify buying either one right now, but eventually, I will add them to my collection.
I finally got ps5 disc, series x, and switch oled. I loveee all of them. My ps5 is an exclusive machine and I been buying most 3rd party games on series x because have more space on series x and prefer it for multiplayer mostly. I love the haptic feedback of ps5 controller but the series x controller is still most comfortable to me.
Ur rich we get it
@@Iso_SSB it’s called having a yob
@@Iso_SSB I'm definitely not rich lmao I just use my disposable income on games and the rest for bills
@@michaelmyersplays4992 $1350 makes you rich apparently 😂
@@statesminds lol fr man. I can see it if you’re a kid
Have both consoles and they are both great and can't wait to see the games in 2022 plus also playing my switch..so many games!
Im with him if its a solo obviously exclusive experience i get a game for playstation but anything multiplat/online i get it for xbox i just prefer xboxes multiplayer more. Probably do the same thing this gen that i did last which was pick up the ps4 later on in the gens life cycle. Then pick up the hyped exclusives for $20 a pop which i feel is totally worth the solo one time experiences they offer
For me, it's almost always come down to what system most my friends are playing on. I have both as well, I enjoy both but lean towards being on my Ps5 more because of the friends
I can relate to late nights playing halo 3.
But that was 360 and for me halo games haven’t been the same since then. So I made the switch to PS5. The PS5 controller is amazing Astro’s Playroom really showcases what it can do and it make the experience that much better. Hopefully more games take advantage of what all that the controller can do.
Returnal was phenomenal use of Dualsense. My favorite so far.
My play style is pretty much exactly the same. I have all three current consoles, but play Playstation for the exclusives, Xbox for Gamepass, multi-plats and online multiplayer (friends on PC and Xbox easily team up through the Xbox PC app) and Switch for the Nintendo exclusives and good games to be portable (Diablo 2 on my hands? past self would never believe this!)
Also use my xbox daily as a media center to stream youtube and other apps, easy to navigate with a universal remote.
All the systems are great, and I am glad (and fortunate) that I can enjoy them all in my own way.
