Is it worth having an XSX and PS5?

Submitted by NecessaryQueasy6894 t3_zj94jr in consoles

I'm picking up an XSX from the shop tomorrow and realised they also have the PS5 disk +GOW Ragnarok in stock for £539. Money isn't really a huge issue, but I also don't want to waste it, is it worth having both, or should I wait and get a PS5 next year

I use my Xbox for “competitive gaming” and what little exclusives they have that I enjoy. I bought a PS5 after having my Xbox for two years and gave zero regrets- PlayStation exclusives are unbeatable and GoW is so bad ass, I’ve been having a blast

Only you can anwser this.

Do enough of the PS5 titles interest you to warrant £539?

I can certainly attest to there exclusives being great myself but different strokes for different folks n all that jazz.

Yes. Both are fantastic consoles. They both have great experiences to offer, and will have many more in the coming years. There's also backwards compatibility to keep in mind. PS5 is backwards compatible with the vast majority of PS4 games and the Xbox Series X is backwards compatible with many Xbox One, 360, and Xbox games. You'll have many games to choose from

There's also a digital one for £150 cheaper, which do I pick?

I’d say go for disc one.

You’ll save more in the long run by buying disc games on sale than waiting for digital sale prices

Alright, btw, how long do both consoles last? For some reason I'm kinda scared that they're gonna break very fast, but how common is it?

I'd say they last a really long time, my ps4 has been going for 6 years so far no reason to think it will break any time soon.

I heard that there's an xsx pro/PS5 pro type of thing possibly coming out next year. Do i get the xsx now or wait for a pro version?

There’s no info on that so I doubt it.

If you have a PS4 already, I’m going to say not yet.

Then I would definitely say it’s worth it, there’s a trove of wonderful exclusives on PlayStation that make it worth the buy

If you can afford to ask this question, you don't know reality.

I do, but I'm just lucky enough to be able to afford both. Back in the days, I couldnt even afford the 360

360 is not "back in the day".

I had a commodore 64 back in the actual days, then a master system 2. You wouldn't believe how excited little me was back then.
