PS5 still winning :lol:
No lights to make it look cool in the dark :lol:

Playstation guys are desperate. I do feel like I'm missing out on games uninstalling by themselves though. It is quite boring having a console that has just worked.
:lol:. I have mates who are exactly the same - it’s like a cult

I have both and have zero allegiance - I’ve just found the PlayStation experience to be better and yes, including the lights!
playstation will be my main machine this generation (partially also because everyone I play online with has one) and the Xbox will be used for Game pass.

I am struggling with what to play on Xbox is the problem

And without buying any I have Horizon 4, Gears 5, Gears Tactics and Sea of Thieves and Halo 1, 2, 3, 4, Reach and ODST all with next gen enhancements. They all look and play stunning.

Talking about third party, it's nice to be able to play rocket and warzone at 120fps.

I'm glad they hold your attention and you get to save a ton of money. From that previous gen list, only Horizon 4 held mine for more than a couple of hours.

Don't the sales tell the story? It's you who is desperate, you need validation you've made the correct decision in getting an Xbox.

It's fine, you've made the right choice.

You're the only person here who even thinks there is a console war going on :lol:

There is a match going on and you all here bickering about consoles. The team needs your support.

Pathetic.

I like Xbox especially since Phil Spencer took over and I think Gamepass is one of the best things in gaming but until they start releasing exclusives it’s always going to be behind the PlayStation.

On day 1 we got Spider-Man, Demon Souls, Astro’s and even Sackboy...how long will it take Microsoft to release just 4 games of that quality and they‘re pretty much b tier exclusive for Sony.

Sales don’t tell any story, no. The Sony fan base is full of people like Afro. He’d buy a PS5 if it had the power of a Megadrive, and still claim it was the best.

I don’t need any validation. It’s just so easy now after the ps boyz were desperate to keep being prats for the last 6 months, but the PlayStation has turned out a steaming pile of shit that can’t even keep a game installed.

Have you played Gears Tactics? Only came out last week.

If none of the Halos can hold your attention and nor can Gears then yeah Xbox to date isn't for you! Hopefully this gen things will be different though.

You could say similar for PS5 though. Astrobot is universally loved sure but otherwise.. not loads and plenty of people who won't care about a Souls remake or a Spiderman expansion that can be played on the previous gen.

It's just a launch thing.

That these consoles have backwards compat and actually play them better are the best things about them and what most people's hours will be spent on. Not the handful of next gen games.

Whilst I generally agree, and the bickering about games is pretty silly, Demon's Souls is easily one of the best launch games over the last few generations.

It shouldn't be considered any other way.

You’ve not even played it yet because it keeps uninstalling

To be fair they've not had a bad year first party wise, they just haven't planned well / recovered after the Halo delay which is what they centred launch around.

Gears Tactics (80), Wasteland Remastered, Wasteland 3 (85), Battletoads (72), Tell Me Why (78), Ori (93), Flight Simulator (92)

Obviously the last hasn't yet hit Xbox but it will be.

To compare, Spiderman MM (85), Demon Souls (91), Sackboy (80), Astrobot (90)

Had they positioned Ori and Wasteland 3 as launch games then it'd be a different narrative, when in reality it doesn't matter because all the current launch games could probably be played on last gen anyway (except Astro of course)

They've then added free upgrades to Forza Horizon 4 (92), Halo MCC (85), Sea of Thieves (69 - ouch), Gears 5 (84)

I appreciate metacritic is far from everything but clear to see there have been improvements and we are still to see the really strong investments made come to fruition.

It's a matter of time before they will be considered broadly to have a strong first party line up for me rather than an if.

Everything else is pretty much spot on. Hardware, approach, value prop, ecosystem, talent etc.etc. are all nailed down. Just that final crucial piece of the jigsaw to add.

What a new machine having glitches? Yeah, shocking! My god, can 2020 get any worse!

It's unheard of I tell you, unheard of. Just like having no actual new launch title is.
You were bitching about your Series X crashing to be fair

You made a bigger deal about Xbox settings being an extra click away than you’d like than the PS5 literally uninstalling a game

I agreed with the setting thing once. You've made the same unfunny joke 3 times on this page alone :lol:

Embarrassing isn’t it. Grown men arguing about consoles. I just take my console for what it is - the best next gen console available.
Give it a rest. Can’t take the United Hour podcast seriously anymore when you spent most the match posting in here rather than watching the match.
