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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Once you get Game Pass there's no going back, literally every single person I've ever talked to about it has said it's completely changed gaming for them. I can't even begin to count the number of legacy Playstation owners I've seen basically abandon their PS5 after picking up a Series S that they didn't even plan on using much. Personally I rarely ever play either because Switch is my favorite and I can enjoy Game Pass on my PC, but it's ridiculous how massive of an impact Game Pass has had on Xbox to the point where they're only a few million console sales behind Sony right now and the overwhelmingly majority of Xbox Owners have Game Pass because frankly it's THE reason to get one. And after them almost quintupling the amount of studios they own (with more to come not to mention all sorts of external deals with other publishers) I'm excited to what's coming next for Xbox.
As a ps5 owner, game pass does seem like good value. But I love the ps exclusives so I’d personally not give that up for game pass. PS is also coming up with a new subscription service to counter game pass. This is great bc more competition is better for consumers. This is why I’m happy that Xbox is doing much better than the last generation.
@@SunnyDaGamer so ur assuming every console gamer has a PC? Not everyone does. If u only got an Xbox, then there’s no way u can play ps exclusives, And vice versa. So exclusives are still a big deal and something to consider if u don’t have a PC. And besides, only old exclusives get ported to PC. Took horizon zero dawn 3 years and god of war 4 years to go to PC. And not all of them go to pc such as Spider-Man. If they do go to PC, then there’d be no reason for PC players to get either console lol.
Wrong lol I sold my series s and x gamepads isn't enough to keep me hooked where as playstation has better games in general overall so I sold and kept the PlayStation
@@deagle7776 Sony only has less than 5 exclusives that aren’t movie video games (that’s what I call PlayStation exclusives) sure they’re entertaining but I wouldn’t really compare them to real video games. The gamepass will always be way more worth it than the ps5 library.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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!
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
@@bananaminionz 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
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 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
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
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".
Please get your poor wiring checked. That is dangerous. 2 space heaters on a circuit May trip it, but gaming systems and coffee pots doing so indicate a high likelihood of a dangerous short in the wiring. Don’t risk it!
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'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.
@@JunesSh1tPosts 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
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.
With both consoles being so similar in terms of power and capabilities, the big sell for me is exclusives (I personally prefer Halo/Forza/Fable/Bethesda over Spider-Man/GoW/Horizon) and Game Pass which has allowed me to play tonnes of games this past year I’d never have touched otherwise and is the best value in gaming. Things like quick resume are also a nice perk. Sure, I occasionally wish the Xbox controller was more ‘next gen’ but other than that I’d buy the Xbox Series X over and over again given the choice.
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.
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 tend to use my ps5 more than my xbox. I love the exclusives and controller of ps so much I pull towards that, but I like being able to dive into game pass and xbox exclusives too. I like how many 3rd party games are on game pass but most of my friends are on PS and I have a mild crazy trophy addiction
I definitely agree with you , I myself just recently bought an Xbox series x because I came across it in target one night , but might return it because I really want a PS5 more
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.
the guy says xbox doesnt have exclusive games because they are on pc and/or xbox one then he shows his videos where he talks about ps5 exclusives in which he shows spiderman/horizon/gow5/death stranding/demon souls/deathloop that a are also available on pc and/or ps4 sounds pretty biased to me....
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
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 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.
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.
@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've got both. Xbox Series X beats PS5 with better native 4k, quick resume, more powerful, quieter, way more comfy controller, built better and gamepass. However, PS5 has miles better exclustive games. Just my opinion, as I have been a PS player for years and only recently came to Xbox.
I’m doing the same. Been an Xbox player since 2001 & I’m finally adding a PS5. If I had to choose just 1 I’d pick PS5 since I haven’t played any PS exclusives since NBA Shootout 2000. Even though I agree with the Xbox being a beast of a machine with some good features, content is still King.
I find the PS5 controller a lot more comfortable than the DS4 and equally as comfortable as the Xbox controller. The exclusives are going to be what sets the PS5 apart from Xbox later on. With a good PC I'm not missing out on any Xbox game I want to play. I feel the only thing Xbox has over PS5 at this point is the native 4k support with 60fps on older games.
yea im a PS guy and got my first xbox recently. But as soon as PS5s become widely available im going back to that. I dont care anyone says, its better than xbox and i dont see amyone discussing the actual reasons why, they just bring up gamrpass. Yea its awesome but overrated, i buy a new console to play new games. Xbox series x/s controllers are insanely cheap and not durable, not responsive, makes typing terrible, interface sucks, dashboard sucks, games suck, ps5 features are better. Gamepass and the native 4k is the ONLY thing xbox has over playstation. and game resume if thats really that important to u
I agree with you 100%. I’ve always been a PlayStation girl but ever since I got both I have been playing my Xbox a lot more. However, agreeing with you, I could not imagine not having all three consoles. They all outdid themselves, in love with all of them!
Same here, I think game pass has actually been pretty great. Between halo and playing co op games with my wife it’s been great. Yet I have always played more on PlayStation.
I don't, i really enjoy my PS5 more than xbox. More of my friend have ps5 or ps4 too, so it's good when we play on-line. I know only 1 guy who even have xbox besides me, so it really shows the popularity and choice people made.
I have always been a PlayStation fan. I love the games they have. I can’t get a ps5 but it’s not a big deal because they come out on ps4 and no real need to upgrade. I have been looking at Xbox series s because of game pass and it’s actually available. I would get an Xbox series X but they are still no where to be seen. I am gonna get both this gen. Game pass is such a better deal than plus. My internet sucks so being able to download the game instead of cloud gaming it’s huge. PlayStation needs to do something like that.
The series S is the best value and what I recommend to New Xbox/current Playstation gamers. Get into the eco system and have something for game pass access and next gen Microsoft titles. Meanwhile you'll still have a PS5 for 4k blockbusters. If you intend to get a series X later on no matter what then hold off. No point in getting both as you will probably never go back to the series S once you have an X.
@@dannonyogurt98 what about Xbox One S? Im a Playstation and Nintendo gal but the xbox is easier to get. Only problem is that im a bit of a weirdo and like to have the physical version and the series s is digital only. I saw that xbox one s has a disc option. Is there that much of a difference between the two?
I have a series X im a ps fan since ps1 but i got series X for discs version and for backward compatibility i might get a ps5 since i saw it on store too but i dont know if i need too i will its libary of games first im enjoying gamepass and i got mannyy free games to play that i cant choose from and play all at once over 500+ games free +++ im 3 months in with series X and its so quiet it has 0% fan sound
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 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'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 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.
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.
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
I got myself a Series X since its more widely available here in Europe. Managed to find a PS5 just the other week and honestly both are great consoles. I think the PS5 is the better next gen console for me because I have friends on there. Having used the Dualshock extensively since the PS2, I gotta say the controller is a must for me. The Xbox controller still hasnt grown on me after years of use.
I bought the Playstation because I grew up with it. I prefer the PS5 controller and the exclusive titles. I don't care what consoles other people enjoy more. I wish everyone luck in finding their favorite, though.
its awesome that this gen has 3 consoles that all feel equal and there's no clear winner. i too agree that if you are able to own them all, that is the way to go. just pick whichever one you can find in stock first, and play that to get you started. will not be disappointed
Actually it's always been a rivalry between Sony and Xbox since PS3 and 360. Nintendo has always done their own thing. Nintendo has the most fun games well thought out. That's what it comes down to, fun, and the best ones are on Nintendo. Playstation, Xbox and PC share more of the same games, and not enough good exclusives to separate them. It's possible to have better or superior graphics on PC if you spend the money, but you'll have glitches and problems here and there because some graphic cards or other parts don't work perfectly with some software, and these issues aren't due to lack of power.
@@one4all885 bro Nintendo does have great games but you sound like you haven’t even played the other systems. Not enough good exclusives to separate them? Is Halo not legendary? What about Uncharted. Last of us, Spider-Man. Even if we don’t talk about exclusivity, People who only have Nintendo can’t experience games like Mass Effect and other legendary games of that nature. Don’t get me wrong I’ll always be a fan of Nintendo. But I think Nintendo thrives when it comes to hanging out with friends and family. But i think if you’re a hardcore gamer and someone who’s competitive then Nintendo is the last thing someone would choose. The online aspect of Nintendo is terrible, even simply adding a friend is a chore on there. You guys can’t experience competitive shooters the same way either. The last point I’ll make is that on Nintendo, how often does a good game come out? Mind you I have a switch, but the lack of games is sad. Well the lack of GOOD games I should say.
@@one4all885 oh and you are definitely exaggerating problems people have with PCs. Those are not things that happen all the time. If you have a PC built well enough it shouldn’t be a hassle. You’d honestly take a Nintendo console over a gaming PC? Cmon now..
@@camerongaines5967 I have a switch, Xbox 1, had the original ps and play ps at a cousin's house. Splatoon is all I need for a shooter. Smash is a good game. No racing game as fun as Mario kart. I do have a racing rig, steering wheel, pedals and seat for my Xbox when playing project cars or Assetto Corsa. To each their own, but shooters aren't everything to me. Super fun, but not my main thing. I don't like Zelda games, pokemon or animal crossing. Not really any adventure game that can compete with a Nintendo game. It was bragging that Yooka Laylee was just as good as Donkey Kong. That's the best anything outside of Nintendo can do. I'd get a PS, but I hate the controller and the huge awkward shape, size and color of the current system. When I go to my cousin's house it just looks out of place. And yeah, Nintendo doesn't come out with many games, but when they do it is top quality with detailed physics and fun. I don't play games all damn day, every day. I do play sometimes all day, but not all the time. Can't depend on games to replace real life. Even now the old Mario kart from the Wii u is still super fun on the switch. That's a fact. If you like other games more than what Nintendo offers, ok, you've made your point. I just enjoy the fast pace of Splatoon more than what other shooters offer. If I wanted super real I'd just go out and play real paintball. All that mass effect and others you mentioned I've watched my relatives play a lot, and I was never into it when I tried. I come from the old days when we had to use quarters to play arcade. I'm an 80s kid.
@@camerongaines5967 I had a white Nintendo switch oled but later returned it. Maybe it didn't gave me as much hype I have for my ps5 or because I only had Mario Odyssey instead of Mario kart and Mario party. Didn't like Mario odyssey as much so sold it. But I may get back to getting a switch since it's openly available, the subscription service is cheap(enjoyed the NES and SNES games), and loved that clicking sound of putting on the joycons. I also tried out Mario kart at GS and that was way fun than crash bandicoot racing ofc.
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.
The switch is my favorite. But for the next-gen ones I like PlayStation always. More than anything because Sony gets all the Japanese games rpgs and such whereas Xbox barely gets any.
Criticisms of my first PS console: -Controller battery: short duration amd built-in -Mic on controller: can't be turned off, only muted with annoying orange light -Limited 120 fps games -Unnecessarily complicated storage and base installation - Ps5 save files can't be stored in a drive, they "force" you to pay for ps+ or an ssd
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.
Picked up a PS5 and Series S on launch day last year, and I own a Switch. They all get about equal play time, but I get the most excited when I see what’s coming to gamepass each month. Such amazing value, I couldn’t be without it now.
Nintendo is my favorite. I love their quirkiness. Plus, the portability of the Switch makes it a no-brainer for me. I got my Series X a year ago and have loved every minute with it as well. I’d never had an Xbox before and I am now using it for my go-to third party console. Unless the game works better with gyro controls, then I get it on the Switch, regardless of the lesser graphics (looking at you, Borderlands). I can’t stand PlayStation controllers. They cramp my hands. Maybe I just have tiny thumbs, but I have trouble using the left stick for any length of time. I only play PlayStation at friends’ houses…which has been awhile!
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.
@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 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.
I got the series S and a gamepass subscription. So far it has been amazing and the single player in halo made it even better! Ohh and yeah... i thought it could not do 4k but i tryed it on a 4k tv and it does do 4k... so... whats the difference between the x and s? Just the hard drive?
It's not native 4k, plus, it's not only resolution diference, Series S games have less details, worse textures, worse frame rate, than the Series X (which don't mean Series S is a bad consoles, but Series X is the premium experience.
From what I’m reading I believe the series s runs 1440p which is considered ultra hd, not quite 4K but close enough. The series x I believe will run games in 4K at 60fps but if you jump up to 120fps it drops to the 1440p resolution. The best comparison I’ve seen is MS flight simulator X vs S. The little details are apparent when studied but not even a thought during normal gameplay.
I just got my series x 2 days ago after buying a series s 3 weeks ago and I can tell you there’s a huge difference in the graphics. Series x is where it’s at and I’m returning my series s.
Had PS2, PS3, PS4 and switched to Xbox Series X. I love it. There are many games I missed, and Game Pass is a real game changer. On PlayStation I was buying games carefully, reading reviews, checking gameplays, making hard choices sometimes, as these games are pretty expensive these days. On Xbox I just pay for Game Pass and install everything, try it, and if I don't like it just remove it with no regret. I am sorry to say, but no matter which system (they are more less same thing), it is games that make a difference. Or not. In the past, there were games that kept me playing for hours, day and night, but now... 90% of games are copy paste the same, getting boring too fast. This year I had more fun playing Skyrim for 3rd time, than any other game to be honest.
@@jayforeverrollin On PS4 it was loud, when you played more demanding games, so the fan had more work to do. PS4 was using 100% power and getting hot. Now, I think it does not matter if you get XSX or PS5, both are pretty quiet. The only noise I hear is when disc is inside when you install games, nothing more.
I think this video sums the current generation up quite nicely. I would argue that the Xbox is the comfort zone with all the modern commodities you would want, the switch and Nintendo titles are more accessible then ever before. But the interesting stuff, the innovation is happening on PS5. I think for general replay ability, I’d choose Xbox but for one and done games, PS5 is the way to go.
I don’t really agree with this at all. In fact I would say the complete opposite. Xbox has been far more innovative. Game pass and quick resume. Granted Xbox uses the same UI as Xbox one, but that UI has been constantly evolving and will continue to do so in the next 5 or so years.
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.
Have a series X and SWOLED. Love both. I would be interested in a PS5 as well, but my limiting factor is time to play games. Need my Nintendo exclusives and game pass is such a great catch all.
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!
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.
When the consoles first came out I was 100% on the Playstation side. Overtime though, I thought about all of the physical game upgrades I would get on Xbox and the price of paying for multiple subscriptions. So slowly I've sided back with Xbox since I have one already even though I love how the Playstation exclusives look.
The exclusives are the exact reason why I switched from Xbox to Playstation The lack of PS5 stock is a bummer but I don't think Xbox has anything to pull me back
@@JohnReedy07163 Xbox is good if you don't have a PC. If you do, there is no point imo. You can just rebuy the games if you need to play the old ones and all Xbox exclusives will be on PC day one. That's why I just decided to upgrade my PC and get a PS4 for cheaper to play the exclusives that came out for it.
Owning both, I mostly prefer Xbox for cheaper prices, Game Pass, better resolution and frame pacing in some games, customizability (I hate the removal of themes on PS5), fewer next gen upgrade costs and actual support for older games. That being said, PS5 exclusives (the few there have been so far) are really good. I see reasons to own both so there is no clear winner.
I am also about to have both consoles and I am quite excited. I am a PlayStation guy so I heavily gravitated towards the PS5 and soon once it delivers I will have the Xbox and I am stoked for the experience
I see the value in both Xbox and PlayStation, I’ve just always been a Nintendo person. I really enjoy handheld games so I played the PSP a little. I’ll be sticking with my OLED switch for the foreseeable future
I have all three and, like you I use the Series X WAY more due to game pass. I got the PS5 and Switch for their exclusives (and I was hoping for more backwards compatibility from both of them and have been let down in that regard on both as well). It should also be said that game pass is a bigger deal than some think when games from Sony and some 3rd parties are going for $70 and inflation is making everything else cost more too. Every time there is an exclusive for PS5 I have to actually think about how quickly I want to play it or if I can just wait for a sale and pick it up then.
The vast majority (90%) of AAA games are not on GP at launch. Even if you have GP you will still have to pay a potential 70$ AAA game from Square Enix, Capcom, 2K or Ubisoft. I usually have time to play 1 AAA game / month so i usually play the best available which are usually on PS, but i plan to get a Series S for upcoming Bethesda games.
@@ulrichleukam1068 honestly it doesn't take long for newer games to come to gamepass for the price difference I feel just waiting for that is the better option
@@ulrichleukam1068 new games are broken at launch tho, I haven't purchased a new game in over a year and the games pass is good enough for me personally. The game Industry needs to get itself together, it's a shambles
@@Prawnsacrifice I understand your point. GP is still an amazing service, but major games like Resident Evil, Gardian of Galaxy, Battlefield, Call of Duty etc are still not there at launch: Just saying if a game really interest us we are still going to pay for it. I think services like PsNow and Game PAss are not the future, otherwise most publishers will just release their games there ... But i believe amost publishers waits for sales to fall of significantly before bringing them to services: i think btw 6months and 2 years depending on the title
Exclusives are nice but I never really go out of my way to get them, only if I feel like it. I mostly play third party games and love forza, halo, elder scrolls and fable so xbox feels like the natural choice. At the same time I’m really excited for spiderman 2. So idk, might get the ps5 later down the line since there’s only a couple of franchises I really enjoyed on there.

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.
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
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.

Try QVC
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.
@@alzearafat
I don't know man Ghost of Tsushima has the absolute best sword based combat out there period. There I said it.
Once you get Game Pass there's no going back, literally every single person I've ever talked to about it has said it's completely changed gaming for them. I can't even begin to count the number of legacy Playstation owners I've seen basically abandon their PS5 after picking up a Series S that they didn't even plan on using much. Personally I rarely ever play either because Switch is my favorite and I can enjoy Game Pass on my PC, but it's ridiculous how massive of an impact Game Pass has had on Xbox to the point where they're only a few million console sales behind Sony right now and the overwhelmingly majority of Xbox Owners have Game Pass because frankly it's THE reason to get one. And after them almost quintupling the amount of studios they own (with more to come not to mention all sorts of external deals with other publishers) I'm excited to what's coming next for Xbox.
And btw if any playstion community member asks u the term exclusive just tell them that some games of PS4/5 are allredy put for pc such as God of war
As a ps5 owner, game pass does seem like good value. But I love the ps exclusives so I’d personally not give that up for game pass. PS is also coming up with a new subscription service to counter game pass. This is great bc more competition is better for consumers. This is why I’m happy that Xbox is doing much better than the last generation.
@@SunnyDaGamer so ur assuming every console gamer has a PC? Not everyone does. If u only got an Xbox, then there’s no way u can play ps exclusives, And vice versa. So exclusives are still a big deal and something to consider if u don’t have a PC. And besides, only old exclusives get ported to PC. Took horizon zero dawn 3 years and god of war 4 years to go to PC. And not all of them go to pc such as Spider-Man. If they do go to PC, then there’d be no reason for PC players to get either console lol.
Wrong lol I sold my series s and x gamepads isn't enough to keep me hooked where as playstation has better games in general overall so I sold and kept the PlayStation
@@deagle7776 Sony only has less than 5 exclusives that aren’t movie video games (that’s what I call PlayStation exclusives) sure they’re entertaining but I wouldn’t really compare them to real video games. The gamepass will always be way more worth it than the ps5 library.
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* 💀
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.

@@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.

@@Slit-throat I would take 4k everyday because who needs a gaming pc when you have PS5
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.

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.

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.

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
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
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.
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 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 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
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
i use the ps5 controller on pc best of both worlds

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.
Please get your poor wiring checked. That is dangerous. 2 space heaters on a circuit May trip it, but gaming systems and coffee pots doing so indicate a high likelihood of a dangerous short in the wiring. Don’t risk it!
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'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.
@@JunesSh1tPosts 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

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
With both consoles being so similar in terms of power and capabilities, the big sell for me is exclusives (I personally prefer Halo/Forza/Fable/Bethesda over Spider-Man/GoW/Horizon) and Game Pass which has allowed me to play tonnes of games this past year I’d never have touched otherwise and is the best value in gaming. Things like quick resume are also a nice perk. Sure, I occasionally wish the Xbox controller was more ‘next gen’ but other than that I’d buy the Xbox Series X over and over again given the choice.
Exactly and hopefully this generation Xbox can keep up with PlayStation. I want more x box exclusives. Playstation destroyed them last generation.

Not to mention all original Xbox games now run at 4K resolution and a lot of Xbox 360 games are higher resolution and framerate.
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.

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've got both. Xbox Series X beats PS5 with better native 4k, quick resume, more powerful, quieter, way more comfy controller, built better and gamepass. However, PS5 has miles better exclustive games. Just my opinion, as I have been a PS player for years and only recently came to Xbox.
I’m doing the same. Been an Xbox player since 2001 & I’m finally adding a PS5. If I had to choose just 1 I’d pick PS5 since I haven’t played any PS exclusives since NBA Shootout 2000. Even though I agree with the Xbox being a beast of a machine with some good features, content is still King.
I find the PS5 controller a lot more comfortable than the DS4 and equally as comfortable as the Xbox controller. The exclusives are going to be what sets the PS5 apart from Xbox later on.
With a good PC I'm not missing out on any Xbox game I want to play.
I feel the only thing Xbox has over PS5 at this point is the native 4k support with 60fps on older games.
yea im a PS guy and got my first xbox recently. But as soon as PS5s become widely available im going back to that. I dont care anyone says, its better than xbox and i dont see amyone discussing the actual reasons why, they just bring up gamrpass. Yea its awesome but overrated, i buy a new console to play new games. Xbox series x/s controllers are insanely cheap and not durable, not responsive, makes typing terrible, interface sucks, dashboard sucks, games suck, ps5 features are better. Gamepass and the native 4k is the ONLY thing xbox has over playstation. and game resume if thats really that important to u
I agree with you 100%. I’ve always been a PlayStation girl but ever since I got both I have been playing my Xbox a lot more. However, agreeing with you, I could not imagine not having all three consoles. They all outdid themselves, in love with all of them!
Same here, I think game pass has actually been pretty great. Between halo and playing co op games with my wife it’s been great. Yet I have always played more on PlayStation.

I have been looking at Xbox series s because of game pass and it’s actually available. I would get an Xbox series X but they are still no where to be seen. I am gonna get both this gen. Game pass is such a better deal than plus. My internet sucks so being able to download the game instead of cloud gaming it’s huge. PlayStation needs to do something like that.
You can download the Games on PlayStation now, it's just the PS3 games that are stream only.
The series S is the best value and what I recommend to New Xbox/current Playstation gamers. Get into the eco system and have something for game pass access and next gen Microsoft titles. Meanwhile you'll still have a PS5 for 4k blockbusters. If you intend to get a series X later on no matter what then hold off. No point in getting both as you will probably never go back to the series S once you have an X.
@@dannonyogurt98 what about Xbox One S? Im a Playstation and Nintendo gal but the xbox is easier to get.

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

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.

Actually it's always been a rivalry between Sony and Xbox since PS3 and 360. Nintendo has always done their own thing. Nintendo has the most fun games well thought out. That's what it comes down to, fun, and the best ones are on Nintendo. Playstation, Xbox and PC share more of the same games, and not enough good exclusives to separate them. It's possible to have better or superior graphics on PC if you spend the money, but you'll have glitches and problems here and there because some graphic cards or other parts don't work perfectly with some software, and these issues aren't due to lack of power.
@@one4all885 bro Nintendo does have great games but you sound like you haven’t even played the other systems. Not enough good exclusives to separate them? Is Halo not legendary? What about Uncharted. Last of us, Spider-Man. Even if we don’t talk about exclusivity, People who only have Nintendo can’t experience games like Mass Effect and other legendary games of that nature. Don’t get me wrong I’ll always be a fan of Nintendo. But I think Nintendo thrives when it comes to hanging out with friends and family. But i think if you’re a hardcore gamer and someone who’s competitive then Nintendo is the last thing someone would choose. The online aspect of Nintendo is terrible, even simply adding a friend is a chore on there. You guys can’t experience competitive shooters the same way either. The last point I’ll make is that on Nintendo, how often does a good game come out? Mind you I have a switch, but the lack of games is sad. Well the lack of GOOD games I should say.
@@one4all885 oh and you are definitely exaggerating problems people have with PCs. Those are not things that happen all the time. If you have a PC built well enough it shouldn’t be a hassle. You’d honestly take a Nintendo console over a gaming PC? Cmon now..
@@camerongaines5967 I have a switch, Xbox 1, had the original ps and play ps at a cousin's house. Splatoon is all I need for a shooter. Smash is a good game. No racing game as fun as Mario kart. I do have a racing rig, steering wheel, pedals and seat for my Xbox when playing project cars or Assetto Corsa. To each their own, but shooters aren't everything to me. Super fun, but not my main thing. I don't like Zelda games, pokemon or animal crossing. Not really any adventure game that can compete with a Nintendo game. It was bragging that Yooka Laylee was just as good as Donkey Kong. That's the best anything outside of Nintendo can do. I'd get a PS, but I hate the controller and the huge awkward shape, size and color of the current system. When I go to my cousin's house it just looks out of place.
And yeah, Nintendo doesn't come out with many games, but when they do it is top quality with detailed physics and fun. I don't play games all damn day, every day. I do play sometimes all day, but not all the time. Can't depend on games to replace real life. Even now the old Mario kart from the Wii u is still super fun on the switch. That's a fact.
If you like other games more than what Nintendo offers, ok, you've made your point. I just enjoy the fast pace of Splatoon more than what other shooters offer. If I wanted super real I'd just go out and play real paintball. All that mass effect and others you mentioned I've watched my relatives play a lot, and I was never into it when I tried. I come from the old days when we had to use quarters to play arcade. I'm an 80s kid.
@@camerongaines5967 I had a white Nintendo switch oled but later returned it. Maybe it didn't gave me as much hype I have for my ps5 or because I only had Mario Odyssey instead of Mario kart and Mario party. Didn't like Mario odyssey as much so sold it. But I may get back to getting a switch since it's openly available, the subscription service is cheap(enjoyed the NES and SNES games), and loved that clicking sound of putting on the joycons. I also tried out Mario kart at GS and that was way fun than crash bandicoot racing ofc.
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.
The switch is my favorite. But for the next-gen ones I like PlayStation always. More than anything because Sony gets all the Japanese games rpgs and such whereas Xbox barely gets any.

-Limited 120 fps games
-Unnecessarily complicated storage and base installation
- Ps5 save files can't be stored in a drive, they "force" you to pay for ps+ or an ssd

Brilliant analysis 👏 easily the best take from anyone on RUclips I have seen
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.
Picked up a PS5 and Series S on launch day last year, and I own a Switch. They all get about equal play time, but I get the most excited when I see what’s coming to gamepass each month. Such amazing value, I couldn’t be without it now.
I think they just added 11 more games today lol
You always get a lot for what you pay for with Xbox bc of game pass. I highly admire the PlayStation and the switch tho
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Nintendo is my favorite. I love their quirkiness. Plus, the portability of the Switch makes it a no-brainer for me. I got my Series X a year ago and have loved every minute with it as well. I’d never had an Xbox before and I am now using it for my go-to third party console. Unless the game works better with gyro controls, then I get it on the Switch, regardless of the lesser graphics (looking at you, Borderlands). I can’t stand PlayStation controllers. They cramp my hands. Maybe I just have tiny thumbs, but I have trouble using the left stick for any length of time. I only play PlayStation at friends’ houses…which has been awhile!
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.
@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've always been a Playstation pep so I'm sticking to what I like + I really like the exclusives
Why not try new things though?
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.
Why did you say ur ps5 is collecting dust in the video but on the thumb nail you made the Xbox look dusty saying “clean me” lol
I got the series S and a gamepass subscription. So far it has been amazing and the single player in halo made it even better! Ohh and yeah... i thought it could not do 4k but i tryed it on a 4k tv and it does do 4k... so... whats the difference between the x and s? Just the hard drive?
It’s not doing native 4K. It’s doing an upres
It's not native 4k, plus, it's not only resolution diference, Series S games have less details, worse textures, worse frame rate, than the Series X (which don't mean Series S is a bad consoles, but Series X is the premium experience.
Well it's an upscale to 4k and the overall graphics/performance is worse but honestly for a whole $200 less you are not losing much at all
From what I’m reading I believe the series s runs 1440p which is considered ultra hd, not quite 4K but close enough. The series x I believe will run games in 4K at 60fps but if you jump up to 120fps it drops to the 1440p resolution. The best comparison I’ve seen is MS flight simulator X vs S. The little details are apparent when studied but not even a thought during normal gameplay.
I just got my series x 2 days ago after buying a series s 3 weeks ago and I can tell you there’s a huge difference in the graphics. Series x is where it’s at and I’m returning my series s.
If playstation gets quick resume and has some sought of gamepass there'd only be one choice for me
I am glad I found this channel. Man you are a lot like me game taste wise:P Great work!
Had PS2, PS3, PS4 and switched to Xbox Series X. I love it. There are many games I missed, and Game Pass is a real game changer. On PlayStation I was buying games carefully, reading reviews, checking gameplays, making hard choices sometimes, as these games are pretty expensive these days.
On Xbox I just pay for Game Pass and install everything, try it, and if I don't like it just remove it with no regret.
I am sorry to say, but no matter which system (they are more less same thing), it is games that make a difference. Or not.
In the past, there were games that kept me playing for hours, day and night, but now... 90% of games are copy paste the same, getting boring too fast.
This year I had more fun playing Skyrim for 3rd time, than any other game to be honest.
How is the fan noise on your Xbox compared to the Ps4?
That's one of the things I might switch for because I'm tired of the jet engine sound
@@jayforeverrollin
On PS4 it was loud, when you played more demanding games, so the fan had more work to do. PS4 was using 100% power and getting hot.
Now, I think it does not matter if you get XSX or PS5, both are pretty quiet. The only noise I hear is when disc is inside when you install games, nothing more.
@@DanielDseven that's what I'm talking about, I wanna see PS have at least a 1 hr demo for all their games so you can try out the game just in case
@@tavorabrown3622
In Game Pass it's easy, you download, try, and remove. I LOVE IT
@@DanielDseven does quick resume work with physical games or is it just digital games?
I think this video sums the current generation up quite nicely. I would argue that the Xbox is the comfort zone with all the modern commodities you would want, the switch and Nintendo titles are more accessible then ever before. But the interesting stuff, the innovation is happening on PS5. I think for general replay ability, I’d choose Xbox but for one and done games, PS5 is the way to go.
I don’t really agree with this at all. In fact I would say the complete opposite. Xbox has been far more innovative. Game pass and quick resume. Granted Xbox uses the same UI as Xbox one, but that UI has been constantly evolving and will continue to do so in the next 5 or so years.
Game pass really allowed me to play games that I would never have touched if it weren’t on there. There are good games in it.
gotta love those arc fault breakers they require nowadays.
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.
Have a series X and SWOLED. Love both. I would be interested in a PS5 as well, but my limiting factor is time to play games. Need my Nintendo exclusives and game pass is such a great catch all.
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!
a year and a half ago? *checks calendar* that’s not how time works…
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.
What game was playing at 18:40? Thanks!
When the consoles first came out I was 100% on the Playstation side. Overtime though, I thought about all of the physical game upgrades I would get on Xbox and the price of paying for multiple subscriptions. So slowly I've sided back with Xbox since I have one already even though I love how the Playstation exclusives look.
The exclusives are the exact reason why I switched from Xbox to Playstation
The lack of PS5 stock is a bummer but I don't think Xbox has anything to pull me back
@@JohnReedy07163 Xbox is good if you don't have a PC. If you do, there is no point imo. You can just rebuy the games if you need to play the old ones and all Xbox exclusives will be on PC day one. That's why I just decided to upgrade my PC and get a PS4 for cheaper to play the exclusives that came out for it.
A year and a half??? It's been like a year and 1 month
Feels like years if you fail every restock lol
@@Jc50gt feels like a year and 1 month if you got in on launch 😉
@@dunkuk lol touché. That was a good one 😂👍
@@Jc50gt haha thank you good sir
DOPE VIDEO, EXCELLENT REVIEWS
Owning both, I mostly prefer Xbox for cheaper prices, Game Pass, better resolution and frame pacing in some games, customizability (I hate the removal of themes on PS5), fewer next gen upgrade costs and actual support for older games. That being said, PS5 exclusives (the few there have been so far) are really good. I see reasons to own both so there is no clear winner.
I am also about to have both consoles and I am quite excited. I am a PlayStation guy so I heavily gravitated towards the PS5 and soon once it delivers I will have the Xbox and I am stoked for the experience
I see the value in both Xbox and PlayStation, I’ve just always been a Nintendo person. I really enjoy handheld games so I played the PSP a little. I’ll be sticking with my OLED switch for the foreseeable future
Wanna play sum games with me
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💛
I have all three and, like you I use the Series X WAY more due to game pass. I got the PS5 and Switch for their exclusives (and I was hoping for more backwards compatibility from both of them and have been let down in that regard on both as well).
It should also be said that game pass is a bigger deal than some think when games from Sony and some 3rd parties are going for $70 and inflation is making everything else cost more too. Every time there is an exclusive for PS5 I have to actually think about how quickly I want to play it or if I can just wait for a sale and pick it up then.
The vast majority (90%) of AAA games are not on GP at launch. Even if you have GP you will still have to pay a potential 70$ AAA game from Square Enix, Capcom, 2K or Ubisoft. I usually have time to play 1 AAA game / month so i usually play the best available which are usually on PS, but i plan to get a Series S for upcoming Bethesda games.
@@ulrichleukam1068 honestly it doesn't take long for newer games to come to gamepass for the price difference I feel just waiting for that is the better option
@@ulrichleukam1068 new games are broken at launch tho, I haven't purchased a new game in over a year and the games pass is good enough for me personally. The game Industry needs to get itself together, it's a shambles
@@Prawnsacrifice I understand your point. GP is still an amazing service, but major games like Resident Evil, Gardian of Galaxy, Battlefield, Call of Duty etc are still not there at launch: Just saying if a game really interest us we are still going to pay for it. I think services like PsNow and Game PAss are not the future, otherwise most publishers will just release their games there ... But i believe amost publishers waits for sales to fall of significantly before bringing them to services: i think btw 6months and 2 years depending on the title
I'll probably get some brand new (KOTOR comes to mind), I just like having options and saving money.
Exclusives are nice but I never really go out of my way to get them, only if I feel like it. I mostly play third party games and love forza, halo, elder scrolls and fable so xbox feels like the natural choice. At the same time I’m really excited for spiderman 2. So idk, might get the ps5 later down the line since there’s only a couple of franchises I really enjoyed on there.
Wood is the only channel that I don’t skip through the sponsors 😂
