Because u already have a ps4 I would suggest buying the ps5 with the disk drive in it so u can play all your ps4 games and also get better quality it is up to u I would get a ps5 tho bc the controllers are nice and the layout it's similar to ps4 unlike xbox and the controllers

PS5, the Dualsense is a great controller and with PS+ Extra you won’t have to worry about buying anything for a while because you’ll be able to play Demon’s Souls Remake, Returnal and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, all great games, not to mention all of the other titles that are on there.

Can we get a pinned thread? I feel like I see this question at least once a week.

Also PS5, if you want high quality exclusives and a better social experience with friends because of share screen and shareplay. PS Plus is also great value with a large catalog of games and you get free games every month that you can keep forever so long as you’re subscribed.

Xbox Series X if you want GamePass, which is the best deal in gaming. Hundreds of games, including day one Xbox exclusives, access to EA Play and Ubisoft games.

I got a PS5, because my last console was the PS4 and I wanted to stay in that ecosystem and have access to all my games and trophies. There’s nothing on the Series X I want to play right now.

I have both, but I've always been a Playstation first gamer.

For me, I find myself booting up my Xbox over the PS5 for 3 primary reasons.

1. Quick Resume
2. Game Pass
3. Discord Integration

The first one I feel doesn't get talked enough about. I tend to play a few games at the same time. Being able to suspend each game and pick up right where I left off as if I had the game paused is a huge huge timesaver for me. This is going to be a godsend when I dive back into the Witcher 3 in a couple days. I play MW2 with my friends, so being able to jump back and forth without the need to cold boot the game each time is truly next gen to me.

Game Pass is awesome. I feel like I play SO MANY more games than I normally would and more willing to try stuff out I would never consider had I not had Game Pass. Vampire Survivors, Chained Echoes, Pentiment, all games I would never have even thought about downloading, but since they were on Gamepass I checked them out, and well, Vampire Survivors ended up being one of my favorite games this year. Really enjoying Chained Echoes at the moment as well.

Discord integration is HUGE. A couple of my friends we play MW2 with are on PC, so being able to all be in the same voice chat is a killer feature. On my PS5, I have to have Discord on my phone with an earbud in one ear, and my Playstation headset over it. Most of my friends say my audio is shitty. On Xbox, I can join Discord right from the dashboard. This apparently is coming to PS5 at some point though it's been delayed over and over and most recently seems to be an end of March expectation. We've had it on Xbox since September.

​

I would say at this point the only reason I'd choose a PS5 over an Xbox would be if you REALLY love those 3rd person action adventure first party titles from Sony. I've kinda burnt out on them, so that probably also plays a large role in my current preferences.

PS5. From a non biased opinion it just is better.

PS5. I have both and I play my PS5 way more. Dual sense controllers is quite amazing tbh.

I’ve been with Xbox all my life so personally I’d chose the Xbox….ps5s look cooler but the Xbox series x has better performance I’ve played on a ps5 (my uncles) and a Xbox series x ( my dads) and the Xbox series x feel way quicker at loading game up but when I upgrade to next gen I’m going Xbox

Had the series X for a week, traded it for a PS5. NEVER looked back.

Honestly, I picked up the Xbox series x (even tho I’ve been a PlayStation fanboy my whole life) because of the game pass and I’ve never looked back… although the exclusives on the ps5 is WAY better then exclusives on the Xbox in my opinion

Depends.

Sony tends to be its own echo system like Macintosh stuff.

Xbox has better binds on games and ive been playing xbox for about a year now

I would've said PS5 6 months ago. Moved to Xbox and it's a much better experience in terms of value for money and performance though i miss ps ability to capture audio video natively, my friends who had ps, and the dual sense controller.
