[OttomanEmpire]

lmao.... MS has done so well thus far but players still clearly understand where the best games are. Would be interesting to see what the results of a poll like this are after Sony releases their pricing strategy.

What';s the difference between series x and s?

[elterrible987]

What';s the difference between series x and s?

S is lower specced and has no optical drive. Its like xbox one and xbox one X

[FrankCostanza]

What';s the difference between series x and s?

I was thinking folks would have this confusion. why the hell did Microsoft make it hard for people to know which one is the new one? when the new one sells out people will accidentally buy the other one for grandkids ect

[tnel00]

As far as I'm aware there is only one thing that matters: is Gran Turismo 7 a launch title? If so I am getting a PS5 at launch just for that.

What';s the difference between series x and s?

From a standpoint of graphical power the X is the best system you can get next gen, the S by far the worst. MS is releasing it for the poverty gamer, or casual gamer and I don't think Sony will be able to compete in that category unless they have a secret they have been hiding. The S pairs very well with MS's new strategy of cheap access to gaming and subscription models pairing it with All Access and Game Pass.... and probably down the line whatever their Cloud gaming service will be.

Parents and grandparents probably gonna find and old 1X or 1S in the stores and not know the difference. That's the real problem with MS's branding on these things. Can you imagine a kid whose parents thought they got him the new Xbox opening an Xbox1S on Xmas morning? LMAO

I've owned a PS2, a PS3, a PS4 and a PS4 Pro, and if the exclusives are right then I'll be buying a PS5 as well.

I'm not a 100% fan boy one way or another, but Xbox didn't impress me at all this last gen and with GamePass having almost everything available on PC, I don't see a need for me to buy one. Sony needs to show up and reveal some quality exclusives however, otherwise I won't feel the need to rush out and buy a PS5 any time soon.

Give me a God of War sequel, give me a Judgement sequel or another in the Yakuza universe(yes I know the old Yakuza games are on PC now as well), give me some quality JRPGs and I'll be happy.

Sony has got me with the PS5, and thus far from what we know in comparison to the Xbox Series X I am really disappointed in the PS5. But at the end of the day, I know I am a one ecosystem guy. I played my xbox360 99% of the time while my PS3 collected dust and I sold my Xbox1 early on as I knew it would get as much use as my PS3 did. So, PS5 has got me even though I am dissapointed in the hardware because I am not going to miss out on Sony exclusives as they are just too good.

I'll get it right at launch because there are games out right now that'll play much better on the PS5 than my PS4Pro. Just hope I can get my hands on one as I got plenty of vacation time to burn this winter as I haven't done much with Cornovirus.

[CR89RA]

Ugliest console ever made. Painting mine black before I turn it on for the first time. Design choice is bad enough, but whoever chose white needs to be fired.

Your a real one mgftp. Couldn't help but LOL You do know you can get it in black right.

[wasp9166]

Just saw it's Nov 20th,$499

If you don't have a 4k tv ,would a game like sushi look better to warrant the purchase right away ?

[mgftp]

Where is that info?

I have heard strong rumors of replaceable panels. But that is it.

Sony hasn't really said how they will handle upgrades. Hopefully more info coming Wednesday. But time for a 4k boyo.

[Austanian]

I don't know I think Xbox's strategy of the $35/25 a month console is brilliant. Beyond that the Xbox $500/300 pricing is tough to beat.

Really hard to pass up that value for games.

What';s the difference between series x and s?

Series S has no drive and should perform like an RX 580.
Series X has a disk drive and should perform like a 2080s.

Basically if you want High FPS gaming or 4K gaming you need the X. If you are playing on an older TV you will not give up much going with the S. (The only thing is I wanted that disk drive...)

[FallOutBrah]

man really hoping sony undercuts microsoft. value is the biggest thing it has going for it. if sony gets that, and their exclusive titles, then it's a done deal.

Can't see Sony doing that with the PS5 tech we have seen, as I think it would be a massive loss. In my eyes the only way that happens is if Sony has a poverty system similar to the Series S they have been able to keep a secret.

[Deathstroke]

RIP PC? you realize the bottom tier new nvidia card is nearly twice as powerful as the ps5 right?

Who gaf! Can’t buy ps5 games on pc therefore the ps5 will be needed this gen!!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft is offering some undeniable value, but I hope enough people look past the up front service savings and their marketing because personally, they are pushing what is an ostensibly more consumer-friendly version of the same digitally locked down ecosystem that the Xbox One was originally panned for attempting.

Yeah, Game Pass offers an incredible amount of games for a pittance, but when Microsoft is even putting games on it day 1 that would otherwise be considered as being more system-seller type titles, my concern is a push for quantity over quality.

Or in other words, with Sony, I think of games that are worth owning, whereas the Game Pass model better suits games that you would not justify fully purchasing.

It would be one thing if Game Pass was supplementing a decent library of games, but as it stands, it's basically the only thing going outside of vague future releases that are basically just teasers.

I've owned a PS2, a PS3, a PS4 and a PS4 Pro, and if the exclusives are right then I'll be buying a PS5 as well.

I'd say that the second half of the 360's lifespan is when the Xbox platform began to show its major weakness with a lacking game library, with the momentum seemingly coming to a halt even throughout the entirety of the Xbone's own lifespan. What's worse is that Microsoft responded far too late, resulting in now the Xbox Series launch set to continue this for an indefinite period of time.

And as much as I like what Microsoft is doing in terms of broadening availability, the other side of the coin for them is that anyone with a decent PC has next to zero reasons to buy an actual Xbox.

I can empathize with not feeling the need to rush out for anything, at least based on the present state of known games. With PC, I'm not exactly jumping to bite on the 3000 series when the games for the next 6+ months aren't anything I could not live without playing. At least with Playstation, even someone like me who doesn't follow everything too closely knows that they will only continue to boast a solid exclusive lineup. However, if I was given the choice to throw down for one today, I would not be in any rush going off of only the currently known releases slated.

[DrumsNotDead]

You realize people buying consoles don't give a fuk?

$500 for a video card or just buy a $500 box that will last you 5+ years with no need to upgrade

Warzone still runs on my 2013 Xbox which is crazy because those Xboxes released underpowered out the gate.

Just built a PC for $650ish with a 5600xt, I expect the Series X at $500 to run just as fast or faster than my PC due to the crazy optimizations consoles get

That's not true. Console owners care about performance, that's why they want ps5 > ps4. Stop acting like you care about things then when someone brings up something better you act like it's dumb. The 500 dollar card will outlive the ps5 system or last just as long for most people. I'm not saying consoles suck, I like both console and PC, but titles are what matter for consoles, not the specs. The specs are ****tier by a large margin, but the games and how well they are developed make it irrelevant if they lack power. A $650 pc is mid tier at the very best and the xbox will **** all over it obviously when you consider the difference in power. Also PC do more than consoles so it's not like comparing price is really valid. Your card has roughly 7.2 teraflops vs the Xbox's 13. Yes your machine will likely have better cooling, but it won't beat it. THE NEW NVIDIA LOW END CARD HAS 20 teraflops. Nearly double the xbox. Teraflops don't really matter that much and have been largely overstated, but it's a quick indicator of roughly the difference in computing power of the chip. In any event, yes I realize console owners pretend to not care, but as one myself I do care. I will add that it does not matter what I think if you like the consoles. As an example similar to this, I don't think mac's are that great for the specs you get, but people enjoy the OS and the ecosystem and it functions well enough for them so it doesn't matter. My intent was not to bash console owners, but rather to say that spec for spec they cannot compete and it's disheartening to know it's already behind the jump before it even launches (in terms of power).

[mgftp]

Bumping this because some a-hole made a new thread about this.

[Jimbo0731]

Here's the link to the showcase if anyone is looking for it. Some other a-hole made another thread with it easy to find so I thought I'd post it here as well.



Lets see if Sony can answer some of the big blows MS has been dishing out and shows the damn physical hardware.

Seriously, I hope so.

MS killing them with hardware strength, hardware design, peripherals, GamePass, All Access, and Smart Delivery. Would be nice for Sony to show some fight back beyond their superior software.

I really need Sony to show me something as well, as someone who would like to stick with Sony this next gen due to how much I've loved their exclusives for years and the sheer amount of games I already own on my PS account, they haven't done much to impress me so far with the PS5.

I do like how Xbox is sort of integrating all of their stuff together with the game pass, allowing financing, etc... they're definitely ahead of the curve on this one and it feels like Sony is just trying to play catch up.

[BigBallsMcgee]

They just gonna show off elite tier games and then drop a huge price tag and everyone will buy it cause master race.

just lmao at Xbox underlings

[ChristmasFnatic]

It is upon us!!!

[ohiostate124]

Possible God of War announcement

[Deathstroke]

Alright all you ass worshipping rim jobbers! It’s about time Sony pulls off a Dusty Finish!

“Dusty finish” Is a term used in wrestling by the wrestling scriptwriters That means you send the fans home happy after .... because dusty was not only a wrestler but behind the scenes he was also management and decided which of The Wrestlers won And lost each match and how.....

Here we go show us how we play and ffs excite mgftp !!!!!!

[ohiostate124]

Is it just me or did that really not feel like Final Fantasy at all?

[Deathstroke]

E-Go jerking off furiously right now

[ohiostate124]

Starting with a new Final Fantasy and Spiderman. Xbox should just give up.

[mgftp]

Not a fan of comics but that black spiderman game looks amazing.

[Deathstroke]

Not a fan of comics? Sony got ya covered. Big Harry Potter fnatic we have here!!!!!!!

[CR89RA]
