Reply to comment by PregnantSock in Xbox series X Vs PS5 Vs series s by NecessaryQueasy6894

I have a custom Xbox controller anyways, and I've had gamepass before, and there are quite a few games I like. But I just hate the ps5 controller tbh, and I'm not gonna lie I'm kinda an Xbox fan boy, but i want to get the best one. Also keep in mind the ps5 is more expensive (extra 100). I do really wanna play some ps exclusives tho. I've heard a leak of a new Xbox series X and ps5 pro next year, should I wait for those instead?

I was looking into the ps5 pro and xbox Pro type consoles seeing if they were worth the wait too, but as of yet there is no concrete evidence they'll be coming out anytime soon, especially with how high demand the standard ps5 and xbox series x are, I personally can't see them bringing them out in the next year or two as we haven't even seen the full potential of these consoles yet, no games so far really pushing there technology so the release of an even more powerful console when the current first release consoles aren't even being pushed doesn't make sense. I think a slim version of either console could be released in a year or so but even then the size of the ps5 or xbox isn't much difference ( probably smaller) than the pc you were used to playing on.

I mean the ps5 is out of stock nearly everywhere here but the series X is readily available in every store, so I think Xbox might come out next year possibly, but idk. The cheapest Xbox is from Argos for £449 Vs the ps5 from John Lewis/marks and Spencers for £600 with mw2, GOW Ragnarok and FW. But i feel like there was no point selling my pc just to get a console for nearly the same amount (ps5) so idk

Are you in the UK? I got my Ps5 from game for £480 either spiderman miles morales ps5 version, they had it in when I went to the shop. Its probably just checking back every once in a while and a bit of luck.

If you are leaning towards the series X and think you'll have fun with it, I'd say get it, but I wouldn't base your decision necessarily off of if there is a more powerful console on the way, as even if you waited for the xbox series x upgrade then the next next gen console would be around the corner so you could be waiting indefinitely.

Both the consoles have great graphics and I haven't seen either struggle in performance so I think they are both a safe buy, if a pro version comes out you could well the early version and buy the new

Idk, I just don't wanna spend £500 for there to be a new and better version in 6 months, I'll think about it and thanks for your help
