I don't think Xbox consoles are selling that much. Probably better than the Xbone, but who knows.
The PS5, despite what you've might have read in this thread, is actually very popular.

If you had no game consoles and were going to buy just one game console I think the current XBox offering, inclusive of Game Pass, is probably the best value.

I can do that on my PC, if that's the criteria you can say series s can play almost all mario games too. If it doesn't have an official way of purchasing games for that emulator, it doesn't count.

It's probably the silliest and least practical console design since, oh I don't know, the fat PS3.

No idea what was going on in that game most of the time as a kid

Fun fact, that was a demo of a much larger game. And it was made by Maxis

the slanted sandwich design of the PS4 was also really stupid and bad. Ironic that the best looking Sony console is the one were they just copied the design from some weird rear end old computer:

i really like the ps4 design, though i think the pro looks like rear end



not really a fan of the ps4 otherwise. it was depressing to launch it the other day and see how few games i actually had gotten for it. most stuff just was better on PC

Seemed at the time like Sony was thinking the console market was dead and put in the least amount of effort they possibly could in the PS4. Even at release it was pretty under-powered. But, idk I definitely enjoyed playing games on it, bought it on some sort of sale when the slim model was new and there was tons of cheap games for it

Yeah I think I’m more bought into the Sony stuff at this point so I’ll probably end up getting a PS5 in the next year or so.

i recently purchased a PS5, because the new Armored Core announcement was enough of a tipping point. also i was tired of posting 'bloodborne pc when' as though the answer to that question was going to be 'ever'

I want some of the games that are on a PS5 but I don't want to put any work at all into finding one and I'm not even sure if I have space on my tv cabinet in the first place so I think I might just wait til the refresh model that comes out in a year or two, I dunno.

The PS5 is very ugly but both the PS4s I had got so loud that you could hear them even if you had headphones on (the pro was even louder than the original for some reason???) so hopefully the weird design stops that

Almost anything you can get on Xbox you can get on PC since it's Microsoft owned (which is cool!) so I'd rather just get a PS5 so I could play all those exclusives.

The theoretical person who has a PC they can game on and no console would probably be better served getting a Switch, at least I know I would. Regardless, great time to be playing video games. There's too dang many of the good ones to play them all anyway.
