PS5 Vs. Xbox Series X: What To Know

I don't think playstation has to market as much because xbox is pretty much still trying to dig themselves out of the hole they put themselves in. They had a pretty awful launch for the current gen, an almost non existent exclusive library, now all their games go to pc so if you can afford a rig you can just go with a pc for all the xbox steam and epic store exclusives and have a playstation for playstation exclusives. The xbox consoles have been riddled with tech issues for the past two gens (xbox one isn't quite as bad as the 360 but I andmanyothers have been plagued with hardware issues). Plus if sony puts some more effort into vr they can lock that portion of the market up as far as consoles go. PS you are now my favorite cast member of inside gaming.

I love all these "console wars" videos, it's so amusing to me that there is really any competition in terms of hardware but I guess the USA and the UK are odd ones out... in Japan XBox is the Sega Saturn or Dreamcast of consoles... few have heard of it and it sells like a third ranked console even though there is only the Playstation to compete against. In Europe (particularly France) Playstation is an obvious choice since Ubisoft's games tend to favour it and Ubisoft does a great job of internationalising and translating its games for different languaged markets (and cultures to an extent), kinda like Nintendo in that respect - most Japanese and USAian publishers are pretty bad or just don't do it at all. From what I hear gamers in East Asia generally don't console though, it's PC all the way, same in New Zealand (though that market is miniscule) so there is Australia which is largely XBox from what I know over time, but again quite a small market... so as far as a war goes... Microsoft has only won on the PC side and Sony hammers the console market (and for Sony to lose (like it arguably did with PS3) takes an effort of will from Sony, though even there the numbers show the true light here... the PS3 (bomb it was acknowledged to be) still outsold the XBox 360... Microsoft's best ever selling console). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles There really isn't a war here for Home Consoles: Playstation has already won. There really isn't a war for Handhelds: Nintendo has already won. There really isn't a war for Gaming: Smartphones have already won. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_industry#2010s

I am quite exited for the PS5 because I feel like Sony is realizing that their gaming division does not need to completely separate from the rest of the brand. The portion about taking photos of your ears to map sound is ripped from their recent headphone lines (WH...). Interesting other Sony products and in general maki their system more accessible to additions and alterations is exciting. Especially the extra SSD slot that can be populated by any brand of hardline that meets the spec, that’s gonna make a lot of content creators use it which will drive the audience.

I enjoyed the vid, really informative! Been a Halo fan for forever so I've always bought xbox consoles, but with future Halo games coming to PC I'd love to take that opportunity and get a ps5 instead just to try out a different console.

wait the ps5 is backwards compatible with the ps4 only?! I was hoping I could play my ps3 games on a better hardware. That sucks.

Thing is that if you have a gaming pc, there is literally no reason to get a XBSX. All those games that appear on that console are going to come to pc. As of right now, that's not happening with Sony (though there are some exceptions with first party games like The Show, and Horizon)

What Microsoft have done with the streamlining on Windows with devices and software, including Xbox, is great, but then it comes down to cost, especially where you live. To get a decent, Future proof PC rig, you gotta spend close to the 2 grand mark vs playing some of the high performance games just fine in your living room with a console that is closer to the 1 grand, heck currently not even with current. Xbox and Windows and it's streamline combination makes it, if you can save a little more, go for the high end rig, if not, you can go console. so with that, I always have a PS for party and games i enjoy on console/exclusives and a PC for everything else. it was even cheaper and easier for me to PSVR than a PC version.

Stupid ps5 buttons don’t even make sense squares and triangles
