My opinion is really dependant and I was wondering what is better PS or Xbox (next-gen). PS are better at one but Xbox is better at another so what are your thoughts about them.
The equals are exactly what I was thinking, while PlayStation has better exclusives, Xbox has a better subscription service.
They're both good.
Xbox Series X
Positives - Xbox is available. I can walk into a store and buy a Series X. That's definitely a positive. Another is Game Pass. It's one of the best deals in gaming but is $180 per year (but more expensive than PC Game Pass). This includes a lot of Day One releases which could otherwise cost $60 alone. Very good deal. Backwards compatible with older discs. Although I believe the library of older discs it accepts is limited, it's still a positive.
Negatives - 2 years in and it doesn't have any next gen games. AFAIK, all Series X games can be played on XBOXone. Extended memory is proprietary and expensive. There are also no exclusives. Almost every game available on Xbox is also available on PC. Eventually, the Activision/Bethesda games will be console exclusive but will also have PC releases. If you have a gaming PC, there are very few reasons to have an Xbox.
Xbox Series S
Positives - in addition to Series X Positives, the Series S costs $200 less.
Negatives - in addition to Series X Negatives, the Series S is less capable and has less memory. It's a great machine for its price but, as soon as you extend the memory, you're close to the Series X price point. The lack of a disc drive will cost more over time, too. Digital games stay at full price until the occasional sale. Those sales are usually still more than a used disc. Being able to find $60 games for $10 (or even free via borrowing or under $10 from thrift stores, yard sales, whatever) can make up the $200 difference of not having a drive pretty quickly. Controllers are good but come with disposal batteries. Feels cheap and is an additional expense to buy your own rechargeables.
PS5 (Disc Version)
Positives - it already has next gen exclusive games; good ones that won multiple awards last year. In addition, you have the Sony exclusives that compete for (and often win) GOTY awards every year. Some of these exclusives, but not all, are slowly being released on PC 1 to 3 years after release. The new PS Plus pricing is really good. The base price point is $60 a year and gives you PS Plus collection and 3 to 5 free games a month. The PS Plus Extra price point adds about 400+ games (about the same as Game Pass) for $100 a year. And for $120 you get everything above Plus another 300+ older games. PS Plus does not include the Day One releases of Game Pass. It is a great deal for the price and even more so for people who are new to Sony because almost all of the exclusives from previous years are included. Internal memory is not proprietary and is a lot cheaper than Xbox. An SSD can be used as an extended drive to store and run PS4 games without reducing load speeds and internal storage reserved for PS5 games. Haptic feedback on the controllers is game changing on first party titles.
Negatives - you can't find one and it is still not readily available in stores. You will not have access to some xbox games like Halo or Forza. They may be losing access to future Bethesda games and some Activision games. Though, depending on which games you are interested in, you may have time to save up for a PC to play them. Controller battery runs out of juice after about 6 - 9 hours.
PS5 (discless)
Don't buy this. It's $100 less than disc version. If you buy 2 or 3 $60 -$70 digitally games when you could have bought $10 or less used discs then you're actually losing money instead of saving $100.
Wow This summary is perfect and I agree that the discless ps5 is not worth it, especially in non-us countries where digital games are more expensive
Glad I could help! I actually didn't even think about non-US digital prices being higher.
I know different countries and games vary but do you know if used hard copies of games can be as cheap as they can be in the US?
I prefer the digital PS5. Haven’t bought a physical game in half a decade. Though it doesn’t really matter, the digital also looks better.
Ok

Counter point to what? You're opinion? I don't care what consoles you prefer. I don't even know who you are.
[deleted]
I responded to someone asking specifically for pros and cons, which I responded to. You butted in, unsolicited, to tell me you don't like a console.
Tell OP your opinion. He's the one who asked. If you want mine, just ready response to him.
Go to a bar and just blurt out beers you don't like to random people. Let me know how that works out for you.

Xbox- quick resume, xbox game pass
PlayStation- Exclusives, timed exclusives, exclusive content in cross platform games, larger playerbase
Xbox because of it has b/c games, most 360 games but that ain't a bad thing
It plays about one third of the 360's library.
True but its most of 360 best library and some little og xbox too. Ps4 switch etc are charging u silly amount per month for the classics
There's not that many 360 games on GamePass either.
Up or down, that's Microsoft's USP as their modern games are mostly garbage.
Don't care bout rental service like gamepass, most over rated thing on xbox . Prefer owning my games
Well I agree with you there 100%
As much as i like game pass for not needing a disc and what not i love having a good old fashion hard copy. The people that go crazy over game pass play a game for like a month so its not worth them paying full price for a game. Me on the other hand feel that game pass has maybe 10 (if that) good games and maybe 8 of them i already own hard copies of.
I own both PS5 and XSX.
PS5 definitely has better exclusives. This was true also for PS4. Many of the best games I’ve ever played were exclusive to PS.
XSX with Gamepass is an incredible value. Tons of great games that are included. The quick resume and lightning load times are a win against PS5 imo.
Otherwise, both consoles are great.

Cloud streaming on xbox is way better than play staion now you don't even need a controller for a lot of games
PlayStation has its amazing exclusives shame they're just re-releaseing a few of them on ps5 instead of enhancing them
[removed]
The series x has a bit more teraflops and a bit more storage than the playstation 5, if i recall. Now you can all shoot me down if you wish, playstation fans (Btw just kidding don't shoot me pls I don't hate y'all playstation fans)
I like xbox over ps because I have had my xbox for 5 years and I have had my playstation for 1 and it has had a mechanical failure already

They are both equally good
Tbh cant believe noone is talking hardware and people are only talking software
They're the same
Because the fan boys don’t know the hardware nor do they care lol
Graphics are similar on both. Controller is really a personal preference though the PS5 vibrations and trigger resistance thing is cool.
Otherwise, hardware is unlikely to be the reason you go for one or another given they’re so similar.
Hardware is only as good as the games it plays.
Shitpost Thursday folks. Thanks OP.
PlayStation: PS+ Premium, you get more games than Gamepass and a year long sub is cheaper. Better exclusives. Larger player base.
Xbox: Easier to find on shelves and online.
Cheaper that 80$ CAD a year? Lol
Unless you're buying unreliable codes from another source, that's not an accurate price. GamePass for Consoles for a 6-month sub is $60. Microsoft doesn't offer 1-year subs.
You buy one year of xbox live gold then you purchase one month of game pass and it converts the whole gold membership to game pass. You just need to learn how to think of these things.
Playstation has a logical naming scheme.
Also they got superior exclusives, by far. Gamepass is better than PS+ but it's not something you'd want to decide a console on.

It won't cause a war, we answer this in one form or another every day.
PS = exclusives
Xbox = Game Pass.
I'd say one is better than the other but 33% of people would disagree
