Anyone else prefer the Switch to a PS5?

Submitted by ericadamian t3_yn6i3v in consoles

I think PS5 is great, but I really like Nintendo exclusives and think it’s more portable. I have a PS5, but quickly felt a disconnect with it compared to the Switch and now am selling it- anyone else have a similar experience?

Nope, I literally only have switch for Pokémon, 99% of the time it’s sitting unused.

I have a switch for many different games (animal crossing, slay the spire, Pokémon, Zelda) and it sits unused frequently during gaming lulls. To say nothing of my poor Xbox that is essentially a glorified streaming box the vast majority of time. If the PS5 wasn't so fuckin ugly I'd have that as my streaming box with gaming exclusives to boot. I'm waiting until some limited editions come out and make it truly worthwhile. But right now it is an absolute eyesore

Really just a personal choice honestly and I hope you don't feel wrong or bad about enjoying the Switch more.

For me I rarely use my Switch, even more so after getting a Steam Deck. Hopefully Pokémon and Bayonetta get me back interested in the Switch.

I primarily game on my PC and with Game Pass its made my Series X kinda set to the way side.

The PS5 is only used for the 1st party exclusives so maybe a handful of times a year :S

I prefer the gameboy advance sp to the switch but i'd probably like the steam deck more than the switch if I had one

Edit: Right after commenting this my dumbass forgot to mention that I don't have a ps5

I have a switch and a ps5, I find ps5 better for many reasons. One I find the library of games to be better outside of Mario zelda and smash bros, the sales are better and more consistent, the yearly paid service is much better on ps5 and for 3rd party games that are available on both consoles, the ps5 verison will be better 9.5 times out of 10. The ps5 also has a party chat features which allows me to talk to my friends while we play online games together or indecently. Also the online services are much better on PlayStation. Lmao

I play my Switch the most. I don’t own a PS5 and at this point, don’t want one until I can find one, expand the memory with an external hard drive and Final Fantasy 7R gets the new parts.

I only play my steam deck now. PC, switch, PS5 and XBOX are up for sale.

I have both as I think both definitely have their place. But prefer my Switch for every day and in bed gaming 😅

I have every system but mostly use ps5 , I bust out the switch when it was a good exclusive game like I just picked up Bayonetta 3 ….

Otherwise switch sucks cuz it has no good online service and no streaming apps

I love the Switch, don't have a PS5, don't really see the point in getting one, I game on Switch and PC, plus retro systems. Honestly lately I've been playing my GBA more than anything.
