What’s @afrocentricity’s angle gonna be once all the gameplay videos start coming? Not the smartest play to put all the eggs in that basket, because it’s inevitable.
Who knows? Maybe I'll buy an Xbox then? ;)

Future exclusive games don’t matter to you because you would have played them by the time PS6 is out anyway. Afro won’t buy them. He’s just good at googling or listing them. When it comes to playing them, he does a runner.
Stfu if you had a look at the games on my profile you'd know buying games is not an issue for me, but like you say... playing them can be. My backlog is 100s deep...

You wouldn’t break Elvis’ heart like that
Maybe he'll get one too?

I’ve always said I’ll pick up an Xbox at some point once they’ve released a few games that I’m interested in.

You all talk Afro just like your pal Elvis.

Or just get a PC, does the same thing and you can use it to watch porn
This is a console discussion thread, specifically between the PS5 and Xbox Series X. No PC master race culture in this thread. If you want to discuss the merits of console vs PC, feel free to make a new topic.

Xbox will be much cheaper and more convenient. Will probably just pick up a Series S once they drop below £200.

Starfield is something I’m looking forward to seeing more of.
You’ll be able to get a chrome book for cheaper than that.

So on topic... PS5 stay winning? Xbox still has no games?

Xbox available on amazon, guess not many are interested as it hasn't sold out as quickly as ps5.

Does anyone have the Series S? If so, how is it?
I do. It's alright. It offers the ability to play videogames, some of which look better than ones that came out a few years ago. It's very white and small. Plays games in 60 FPS at 1080p max. Has one USB port on the front. Is quieter than Glaston after Spurs lose. What else would you like to know?

Honestly yes it's a bit annoying but you have to promise to never, ever mention it.

I want to install Quantum Break one day but it'll probably mean getting rid of either Halo or Forza (it'll be Forza).
I promise. Thank you for your honesty. Just a shame your minions can’t do the same.

I think I'm going to get the Series X in a year or two's time as a GP machine. I could wait and see what the lay of the land is re the Bethesda deal, but I think we all know what it's going to ultimately mean in the end.

They’re also giving 40% off gamepass to try and shift them.

Are the graphics decent? Do you feel like you should’ve gone for the X / PS5?

I think performance > graphics is what we've seen with the next-gen consoles so far. A solid 60 FPS at 1080p makes a world of difference, especially in FPS/driving games. There's been too few new games to judge graphics but looking at Halo: Infinite videos I'm barely noticing the difference. It's an upgrade for sure but a minor one at best.

If you have a 4k TV I'd highly suggest getting an X over an S. I don't myself hence why I'm not bothered (and I use my PS4 for watching blu-rays).

The S is good mostly as a gamepass device. Lots of variety but not future-proof.

Kind of cute the console lot are talking performance > graphics must admit. :lol:

and yes i agree with the statement graphics have reached a point of diminishing returns for me personally.

“well my rig only costs 2k, silly console boys”

*queue lads saying they can build it cheaper, but don’t.
