What console if you can only have one?

Say you don't have a gaming PC and want to have just one gaming console. Would you go with the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X?

Honestly with the current line-up of exclusives, it barely matters. There's very little difference between the PS5 & xbox.

I have the xbox live supreme master-race pass, which is an incredible value if you like your games Netflix-style. So for that, I'd tip the advantage toward xbox.

If you opened it up beyond just series x & ps5, I might choose my Saturn right now, as I'm kindof nerding out on that game library.

I think the choice is between the Playstation exclusives, and the Microsoft Game Pass. Personally, I prefer the quality of Sony's exclusive franchises over Microsoft's high quantity of "good but not fantastic" games. Even though many games are basically PS4 games brought over, I wouldn't want to do without Ghosts of Tsushima, The Last of Us, Uncharted and several others.

I don't know, I do like the playstation exclusives, but MS owning bethesda, obsidian, and inxile makes them the publisher with the games that I spend the most time on.

The dual sense controller on PS5 is quite good also.

What PS5 exclusives are there so far, besides Horizon 2 & the Spiderman expansion? imo, this is probably the slowest generation for exclusives, across both xbox & playstation ecosystems.

I’m pretty much PS all the way because of their exclusives, but 2 things to keep in mind if there’s going to be a PC for you/them in the future.

1. Sony is porting many games to PC now.
2. My experience might not be the best to go by. I don’t buy many games and can get hundreds of hours out of each title I do buy. Usually Souls/Nioh type games.

I'd lean towards Playstation because of the exclusives and the controller. And Sony's updated version of PlayStation Plus is pretty good.

When I am ready to buy one next year, probably a PS5. If I were to buy one today, it would be Series X as that's all you can find in Winnipeg with any reliability

I used to think this as well, heck I used this "reason" for buying an Xbox Series X.

But seriously, given how I will get a pretty beefed up PC in the coming months, how much use is getting another console for it really?

At least the Playstation has some exclusives not available on PC.

[KAC]

PS5. Exclusives are still worth playing. Get game pass on PC. I haven’t turned on my XSX since August I think.

[Sasquach]

I already have my ideal setup of PC + Nintendo Switch

But out of Xbox and PS i'd probably get a PS5
