No one turned up? That's a bit sad locky 
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
I mean it’s Xbox. Nobody expects them to deliver proper games.
Did you know lifetime sales of the Xbox One are still below the PS4? And are actually not even half!
Ooof
I'm not surprised because the PS4 was a great console. It makes it all the more amazing how Sony lost their way in just one console generation
You pretty much nailed it in terms of my experience too. The controller part especially. It just doesn't 'fit' like the Dualshocks/Dualsense does/did.
I bought it in 2021 a year after getting the PS5 as I thought the exclusives would be worth a try on GPU, but honestly, it just wasn't the same experience as the PS5 for pretty much the same reasons you outlined, and with the delays of the various games, in the end I barely played it. I mean, the only positive is that I was able to check out games that I would have otherwise bought like Lies of P and Wo Long, so in that sense I can appreciate it, but in over two years, that was all I could say about it? It's not great, is it?
My GPU subscription ran out in December and I haven't renewed it. I've passed the Xbox on to my nephews so that they can play Fortnite on it, and I'll renew the GPU in May to check in on Hellblade 2 when it's out, but from all the games updated on this week, it was only that and *maybe* Indiana Jones that truly piqued my interest. Avowed really should have been third person, and the rest were meh.
I think there's something about it that suits younger people pretty well. My nephews prefer it to PS, and I think it's to do with how they market GP and how a couple of their bigger titles like Forza Horizon 5 are targeting those age groups with its nods to social media etc.
Sony fans are still suffering from the win of the 360. Remember, sony can win all generation wars but that one will always, always, always hurt you.
Sony won that generation in the end.
It was a tongue in cheek comment.
Although MS did catch Sony by surprise, the PS3 was it's own enemy with the cell architecture. Developers just wouldn't bother with the extra work and resources needed to unlock it's full potential.
Hahaha I'm not a fanboy, far from it in fact. I pretty much ducked out from gaming from the PS2 days up until COVID. I bought the XSX with the hope that I would enjoy it and the purchase would be justified. Up until now, it hasn't. Hopefully that changes with the steady release of exclusives from Microsoft...
That's a fair point
Yeah when they released the PS4
50m sales were purely as a bluray player
Like how half the PS5s in the wild are just streaming boxs.
In fairness they do release a lot of movies
Yeah including TLOU 1 & 2, both God of War movies, all the Uncharteds.
\o/
Yeah, PlayStation's 1st party games this year are so much better. I mean they have.......
It’s January 20th mate
1 game last year that was 10 hours long. This year looks no better.
They will probably make a couple of remasters that don't need to be remastered and say they had a good year.
It undeniably has better games so far (1st 2nd whatever party) despite people thinking it’s been ‘lean’. MS have to catch up as usual.
See how you had to add second party into the mix to even have a hope of being right.
And yet.
Yet the console sells a third of its “rivals”
So? All the games are available on PC.
You ever wonder why MS switched to active players instead of units or revenue? Or why they are thinking about bringing games to PlayStation and Nintendo?
Their games don't make any money........ and that explains the slow drop in quality. The emphasis is purely on active players and the games are reflecting that....
Similar to Sony's momentary infatuation with live service, which has also lead to a drop but in content not quality (seems to be both for MS)
Both bad ideas to focus on, get back to quality and innovation!
Yeah cod makes no money..
I guess if they aren’t good at least they’re available.

Just saw this on Eurogamer so I thought I'd just leave it here. I suppose the usual lot will be along soon to tell us why Xbox isn't winning 2024

You just know once games go subscription only you're going to have about 4 billion ads every hour. Imagine after every game of multiplayer cod, you get to sit through a 2 minute ad for enhanced gaming socks.

Apparently the Xbox and Gamepass version are much buggier and poorer performing than the steam version.
I don't see the appeal for anybody over 12

Nope. If they had used AI and didn't declare it and that ended up being datamined, They'd lose everything. There are massive penalties for not declaring AI usage on Steam.
Yeah, it takes longer to get updates passed off on Xbox because certification.
Yeah, It's not for me. If you have young children, it might be a good game to play with them.
