Remember that time Sony closed their best first person development team so they could concentrate on making more marvel games.
RIP Team Ico.

Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Just means the Sony platform will become the lead console for development which will then see it ported to Xbox which means you will get inferior running 3rd party games (which is the only thing people are still trying to cling on to in this thread)
ps. Team ICO produced 3 games in 20 years, granted two of them were brilliant but the output is no big loss
Sony haven't made it available yet mate, manufacturers can't make the expandable storage without the tech to do it. Honestly veeva I thought you had a bit more brains than this, I need to revisit the way I speak to you!
Which is ironic because there isn't anything I can't get on older consoles worth having on the Xbox.
In all seriousness, both of these will be extremely successful and which Microsoft recent acquisitions the time to see is in a few years when the Xbox should have a better exclusive library. At present there isn't a massive reason to go out and buy either, if a consumer is making a choice for now. The PS5 is the obvious winner due to more and better games.
Gamepads is great but when people on here are posting that Crysis Remastered is a reason to buy an Xbox because it runs better than on the PS5 I fear all objectivity has been lost.
Games are hard to make and take lots of time...even more so for great ones. High output means yearly updates with minor differences...granted The Last Guardian took forever but it’s hugely important to get games like Ico and Shadow, even if they’re only twice a decade.
So there's less third party support? I mean these were your points and so far they're all pure bollocks. Even once you can actually buy stuff for Sony, what exactly do you entail being available on PS5 over Xbox in terms of third party support? Hopefully some controllers I guess
Why isn't it already then? Why isn't everything running better on PS5? Sony has led sales for a long time.
Controllers, charging docks, headsets, stands, controller grips. There's loads. And publishers will simply prioritise performance on the console with the bigger sales, it's common sense, you see it everywhere, it's why Apple products tend to have far more 3rd party accessories than other manufacturers.
It's not bollox though is it? MS has one single expansion drive, the official Seagate one. They haven't even made theirs available to other manufacturers to make the cost competitive

There haven't been any available all year in the UK
Both have been sold out since launch. If Sony produced double well done to them.
PlayStation will always sell more. They have the brand loyalty and market share and that's not easy to overcome even with a superior product.
It's also not the primary metric Microsoft care about anymore so the comparison doesn't hold the weight it use to.

You back working at Microsoft now?
Not true Microsoft had a great opportunity to turn this around in the 360 era they then released the absolute heap of trash which was the xbox one.
If they had released a product like the one X or the series X following the 360 it could of been a different story by now, don't let facts get in the way of pushing an agenda though.
I don't think so. PS3 eventually caught Xbox 360 despite it being so much more expensive, launching later, and having a real perceived lack of games and feature disparity early on.
They had a chance to close the gap and to perhaps remain in contention in US and UK, but in Europe/rest of world Sony would have always eventually won out.
Microsoft also lost a lot focus towards the end of the 360/PS3 era where they dominated at first, owing partly to sheer idiocy by Sony and the Cell, and then limped to a finish where the PS3 ended up being the superior console by the closing bell.
The Xbox One was an attempt to corner a growing market of mass media users, who wanted a console that could also double up as a blu-ray/netflix player. It sort of worked in theory but the lack of games killed it dead compared to the PS4 (which was and still is excellent).
It's also what happened with Nintendo going from the Wii > Wii U and is why I bought an Xbox this time round as there's so many cases where a console developer is dominant and then ends up becoming complacent when they have the market lead. SNES > N64 is another.
It's largely why I think Xbox have gone so hard to selling gamepass right now. They need to impress (and impress they are
)The PS3 was a pile of trash i remember getting at launch and not even being able to party chat or access the home screen while in game, how long was the wait for the patch for in game xmb (something laughable)
All 3rd party games for a considerable time were absolutely dreadful to.
It worked out in the end mainly down to the talent of the studios on the books (Naughty Dog)
I was strictly everything on my 360 back then, once you could install games on your HDD and the hair dryer of a disk drive didn't need to spin anymore the 360 was the console of choice in that era.
And yet despite all that PS3 ended up selling more which shows it was just a blip!
Very very close though if you consider the gap they made up it was within Microsofts grasp to become the dominant leader today.
Just happened that having to always be online, no second hand games market, multimedia device with built in kinect with every console in a severely underpowered machine wasn't what the people wanted, who could of seen that coming

I rest my case.
That doesn't mean it was in their grasp. Sony caught ground which generally the market leader will do over time. And they didn't feck up the PS4.Very very close though if you consider the gap they made up it was within Microsofts grasp to become the dominant leader today.

Even if Xbox One was considered to be higher spec, didn't have kinect, had the same price and had some exclusive launch games - it still wouldn't have been the number 1 selling console.
Actually they have made it available to other manufacturers. They wanted to have one ready for launch and unlike Sony managed to.Controllers, charging docks, headsets, stands, controller grips.

Come on, you're reaching massively here. Yes maybe there will be 15 3rd party options for tacky PS5 accessories vs 10 for Xbox. Who gives a shit really.
Told you before I work with MS not at MSYou back working at Microsoft now?
MS is a terrible disease I salute you.
Amazon is full of absolute trash. If that's your metric then God help you.True

So you boys playing any games today or...?
Yeh CS:GO, Valorant then a bit of Resident Evil Village you?
Sounds good. Are you enjoying RE VIII? Looks good so I'd like to get around to it eventually.
I put on MLB The Show earlier on my lunch break. Lost to the frigging Mets.
I already rested my case, there's no rebuttal for that mate you lost.
Anyway anywhere got a series X in stock?
I don't give a flying feck but it's a piss take thread so why not take the piss?
Another one down
I'm kidding. I have a PC so a series X would be pointless.
Decent, looks great until crow women appears then the game turns to a stuttering mess for a few seconds!
Hate it when my game stutters to 350fps
It's one of my pet peeves
Nah its a lot more tragic then that it nearly hits console frame rates
Jeez mate. That's like 20fps or something with the shit TVs everyone hasNah its a lot more tragic then that it nearly hits console frame rates
Gives it that cinematic feel though doesn't it
