I've always preferred Playstation to everything else since the PS1 days. I've always owned an Xbox as well, but last generation I didn't get a new Xbox until the One X came out. The One truly was a piece of shit IMO.

That said, I got a Series X a few months after getting my PS5, and while initially I was still booting my PS5 up more often than the Series X, things sort of changed throughout 2022 and now I find my PS5 is mostly just an exclusives machine these days. Things like Quick Resume, and the overall UX of the Xbox I find to be a tad better than PS5. Not to mention Discord integration which has been huge being able to VC with my PC friends not having to rely on the in game voice chat services.

Of course there's GamePass as well, but I won't go too far into that since everyone knows the deal there already. Yes, it's great. Yes, I find myself playing way more games than I normally would due to GamePass, but I digress.

Overall, I've found myself falling more and more out of love with the main Playstation exclusives. 3rd person narrative driven action adventure titles just don't really do it for me anymore.

I personally don't see myself booting up my PS5 until FF16 comes out. Until then, everything is getting played on the Series X. And man, this year looks like it could be real big for Xbox. Won't hold my breath because, ya know, fool me once and all that. We shall see we shall see.
