I note everybody is talking about online functionality and these days there's not much difference between the two.

But games......not often said that Xbox has a better set of exclusive games but if you change that to multiplayer focused games, then in my opinion, yes they do.

Interestingly, if you also start looking at gamepass third party games even and PS Plus catalogue third party games. Again there's a sway more to single player on PS Plus.

You mention portability. Think about how often that's what you use (or have to use if TV is out of use) that should be a deciding factor.

I recently sold my PS5, not long after getting my steam deck but that is more down to the fact that portable is where I play most of the time. I played lots of remote play when I had the PS5.

The TV experience of the PS5 is much better than a docked deck. But the steam deck is capable of many things and the price value is insane. It's a PC!

Then there's also game prices. Much cheaper on PC. But can you wait a while for those new releases? I know I've answered your questions with more questions but they should be the deciding forces. It's your call 🙂

From somebody who cancelled guaranteed orders at launch for both consoles. Ended up getting both in the end and sold one of them last week (mainly to lack of available gaming time).....

You can't get it terribly wrong really because they both do a good job. I think yourself and other have raised some very valid points. The biggest one in my opinion is which exclusives you want/will enjoy the most? Add gamepass value into that weighting and your there.

Basically, how much do you actually like (as in will play and love) those big PS Exclusives? Is that more fun/value than gamepass to you?
