>we know what Sony is like. They bring out the more expensive but inferior version first then after a few years a more powerful slim line version will come out.

That's not Sony, that's literally just how computing technology advances. (Moore's Law)

Not a major one, it would generally depend on the game. Developers often have a "target system", sometimes the original system for which a game was developed before they decided to go multiplatform, sometimes from a manufacturer who's sponsoring the game development, sometimes just the producer's personal favorite. The game will usually run better on that system.

It's similar to how you can have two PC games which should be comparable performance wise, but one runs better on AMD and one runs better on NVIDIA/Intel. It depends on which one the developers spent more time optimizing.

If you're just looking for performance, you're probably better off upgrading your PC instead of getting a console. So again, what do you want from a console that you can't get from your PC?

You can get Game Pass on your PC, can't you? Why do you want a console if you're a PC gamer? What do you want the console to do that your PC can't?

PS5 has, off the top of my head, Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal, inFamous: Second Son, Final Fantasy XVI will be a timed exclusive when it comes out... I have a hard time keeping track of what's also on PC because I tend to prefer console versions, but there might be more.

Honestly though, if there were an exclusive game that you really wanted, you'd probably already know what it was...

I always tell people here, if you play multiplayer games, get whatever your friends have. You'll be able to play system-locked multiplayer, or they can bring their controllers to your house for couch multiplayer. Every system has plenty of great games these days, so that's really the only major distinguishing factor unless you have a specific game in mind.

Xbox One, Xbox One X, or Xbox Series X, depending on what you can afford/find in stock. You'll be able to play your old 360 games on the new system, and the game pad will feel familiar.

Series X is the most current version, afaik the current games will still run on a One or One X but the newer ones won't run very well.

TL;DR: Xbox Series X

Although I agree with the others' frustration I'm gonna try to give you a helpful explanation as to why they're so annoyed:

  1. Your post title is not descriptive or informative. The title should introduce and describe the post to follow; your title could be implying that your Xbox caught fire, your dog is choking on a Switch controller, or you're stuck trying to get past the first boss of Elden Ring.

  2. Your question is subjective. There is no one right answer. Especially comparing a home console with a portable self-contained VR headset; you came to /r/fruit asking whether you should have an apple or an orange for lunch because you had a banana yesterday.

  3. You haven't given us anywhere near enough information to answer the question. How is your Xbox not meeting your needs? What do you want from the Quest 2? What do you want from the PS5? Why don't you want a Switch or a PC? This goes back to the previous point; there's no one-size-fits-all answer to the question.

Reply to How to remove cat urine smell from a Sega Dreamcast Console. by No_need_for_that99

Color and odor are the least of your concerns with liquid stains on electronics. I'd be more worried about corrosion and contamination on the circuitry.

That said, Retr0bright is hydrogen peroxide based, which means it should work very well on cat urine, which is ammonia based.

Where are the stains? The disc drive will probably be much harder to clean than the motherboard. If the motherboard is dirty, you could try removing the battery and putting it in a dishwasher (sounds crazy but that's actually a thing people do, and apparently it works). There are also spray-on PCB cleaners that are designed not to damage the electronics, but I don't know how well they work on cat pee.
