PS5 and Series X consoles have hit reviewers and a bounty of initial impressions are in. Of course we were too cool to get one of those fancy boxes sent to us... but you know what? That’s not gonna stop us from living vicariously through our peers and collecting all of their best insights to share with you right here on Insight Gaming. Did you see what I did there? Anyways it’s a very exciting time to be playing video games and with the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S launching in just a couple weeks we have to ask... Is the next generation of consoles worth the wait?

neither for now man... honestly I'm a Playstation person but I don't like the lack of information they've offered compared to Xbox when expecting people to hand out $500 and not having any second party reviews on familiar games. 🤷 I can wait until more 2nd party reviews are up and are less constricted by NDAs.

PS5 would be what i would aim at getting since the game genres i play are more often found on the PS5 and in higher quality . but the lack of information is giving me a bad taste.

I'm excited to hear about what is done with the programable 3D audio chip, in the PS5! And the storage answer, I hope, is adopted by all devs! I look forward to game sizes more like the PS3!
