I AGREE ! 100% i own 2 PS5's and 3 Xbox Series X 's .. at this moment after I finished GOWR my MY GO TO is my series X w my top knotch 2024 I have both the Hisense U7K...and the TCL QM8..... w all the features support up to 144hz And V-Sync premium pro..Both Systems look FANTASTIC.... however the series X w all the1 120hz my series is my top dogg when u add GP ULTIMATE. I love both consoles for SURE that I am ✌️✌️✌️✌️
@@richneedre48 i feel like you are lying through your teeth. The series x lacks mic, or any other means of communication and has no gyro. Even switch has this.
That's was so refreshing to hear..Im a bit older and own both ps5 and series X...But to finally hear someone say "gaming is just fun" w no bias is very rare these days✌️✌️
I wish some people would treat gaming as fun. I own both xbox because gamepass is so much better than ps plus and I have ps5 for exclusives. Personally I prefer xbox but my brothers who are playstation to the core simply won't have it some people like xbox and will start an argument with anyone who says a bad word against playstation. Funny thing is they have never so much as looked on gamepass but swear it's shite.
Quick resume is only important if you have experienced it. Because it's one of those little quality of life improvements that you just can't live without anymore after a while.
@@LANFEAR93 there is a maximum of games that can be held in quick resume. If you exceed the designated amount of memory set a side for quick resume the game played the longest ago will cycle out. Also if you've played a (play anywhere) game in quick resume on the cloud, pc or another console the game also needs to re launch even if it's in quick resume to sync with the progress made else where.
Okay, thank you for the information but I play only one game at a time. For a game (AC Vlhalla) that is bought and installed (not game pass) Can it be a sync issue due to network interruption and then I shut down the device and turn it on at a later time? @@MrMickey1987
I can only imagine. It is one feature I think PS5 is really lacking. When I'm playing games directly from SSD it's not too bad, but when I switch to games on disk drive the loading screen is annoying. Quick, but annoying.
As someone who fell off gaming these last few years, the sales that the Xbox series X had this past holiday season made buying an Xbox almost a no brainer! I’ve been enjoying playing some of my old favorite games again like Dishonored thanks to game pass as well 🙌🏽
@@Ilovetescoandlidl just sharing my positive experience with the Xbox series X on a review about the Xbox series X lmao. But thanks for sharing sale numbers hopefully someone finds that useful 🫡😂
@@quietgamer4429 popularity, my friend that’s why! also understand that Xbox isn’t pushing consoles like PlayStation is PlayStations whole model is to try and push out as many consoles as possible. Xbox is focused on pushing game pass and has always been that. from a revenue standpoint they are doing A damn good job a real smart investment. And once consoles phase out which they will Game Pass will still be around. As a ps fan who just got a Xbox it’s mind blowing how we have 4 exclusives that they can remake and the fanboys go crazy and say it’s the best thing since sliced bread lol glad I opened my horizon to other options I think I’m choosing series x for my primary console going forward lol
My thoughts exactly. The only console war I am in is the war with myself over which one to use today. People who spend all their time arguing over which is "better" are wasting their energy and time. GO PLAY VIDEOGAMES instead. Lol Awesome video as always man. Love watching your channel grow so much!
It's sad the people in console wars don't even play the games, although maybe some do but they aren't that serious..they'd rather be entertained by arguments other people have smh
1000000% agree with you man, I was arguing with myself just an hour ago about which system to play and today Xbox won, let xbots and gaystation fanboys argue nonsense😂🤣 while me and you enjoy both👍
@@H.hcg2798me too, though i only have ps5 but i won't trash talk about any other device. Everyone has their own needs. Some might find playstation to be better while others might find xbox to fulfill their needs. Trying to prove which one is better is just.......nonsense.
I have PS5 and Xbox. I genuinely like the Xbox hardware better, if it wasn’t for the exclusives on ps5 I would only have an Xbox. Game pass is phenomenal, backwards compatibility is excellent. Upcoming games look great, Xbox is starting to get rolling I think.
Agreed, the amount of backwards compatibility with the X Box series X is just one of the great things about the console, especially since I’ve got a huge amount of OG xbox & 360 games in my collection. I can finally play my Timesplitters 2 & ‘Future Perfect games again (just to name a couple) without having to set my old OG X Box up, which is a huge bonus. The rapid resume function is really handy since I do like to jump about from game to game sometimes & the game pass subscription is great aswell,so it all adds up to a pretty bad ass console gaming experience.
It was $300 recently at Staples too (still that price if you can find one in stock), but that's because they are getting rid of their video game section.

being a dad , i found myself using my xbox way more than i did with my pc . ive had 2 pc’s and sold em em both and surprisingly my series x is still here 😂 iguess the simplicity of the console is what keeps me playing . just turn it on and go . 120fps is honestly good enough for me .
God, it's good to hear someone not mind contrasting opinions and still relate to it as gaming. We should all be happy, not fall into silly dilemmas over which console "wins". It is amazing to sit down and resume a game without visiting the title screen and stop wherever you want. You make a great content creator. Check back on you next time.
Respect for starting out saying you don't care about console wars/ console vs pc debate. I also do not care and simply want to find the product that will give me the most utility at the best price.
It's amazing how much extra programable buttons on a pro controller helps. For instance in a lot of games A button is for activation BUT you move with the left thumbstick so you have to take a few precious milliseconds to take your thumb off the thumbstick to open the door or loot the chest etc. A pro controller can remap the activation button to the unused grip which you can in one fluid motion hit with your pinky which also goes unused. ALSO some pro controllers (Razer Wolverine) make the triggers shallower so you have less give before you scope and/ or fire so you get the first shot! I'm just commenting because I hate to see hardcore gamers that just use the standard controllers :(. But I wanna say, you don't get many reviews like this so late in the console's lifespan, good video!
@@MultiDark2012 Most ARPGs and shooters have you push the left analog stick to sprint. Due to my disability my feeble hands cannot do that in the midst of battle without blowing my cover if not significantly slowing my advance because of fumbling with my controller to correct my inability to depress the stick that moves you without moving the stick itself if not pressing another button as I have to use unusual methods to even do it in the first place. This allows me to easily program that function into a button that's easier to press such as one on the grip where all I need to do is squeeze. When the alternative is NOT being able to sprint at all in the midst of battle than YES it is worth my $30 extra ie when I bought my Razer Wolverine V1 Xbox ONE controler it was 70 bucks on sale, not all pro controlers cost 250. But yes, one of my bigger complaints about Playstation is their controllers are all SO EXPENSIVE! Xbox contollers aren't though (particularly if you don't care if it's wireless or not). Besides accessibility advantages it's just plain BETTER, it gives me shorter give on trigger buttons for FPS' and longer for racing sims. It lets me put buttons into more convenient positions whether I NEED to or not- in the end I breeze through bosses in Elden Ring I didn't have a chance against previously!
Hey mate and greetings from Australia. I don’t really care what others think. I just love them both also have the Switch OLED which has such an incredible little screen. Don’t be afraid to have honest takes as you can’t control what other people think they feel 😁 This is just such an amazing time to be a gamer. I have so far put 100 plus hours in Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 and an equal amount of hours if not more into Cyberpunk 2077 on series X. I feel lucky enough to have the Spider-Man 2 PS5 and the Halo edition Series X. I still think these are the best looking ones to date. (Yes I know you can just buy the plates for PS5 but I couldn’t find them in stock where as there were plenty of the console packs available.) Honestly you could easily just only buy those two games and be satisfied for a year if not longer without any further purchases. I do get free Gamepass though so I love the series X for that. I also have PS Extra and love how they have more and more PS1 games to muck around with as well as incredible titles . Especially anyone new to PlayStation. I can’t see why people can’t just enjoy gaming and worry so much what someone elses’s plastic box is 😁 Anyway I wish everyone happy gaming except those on mobile as they suck 🤪
I have gaming PC with an RTX 4070 Ghost and I still play on my series X. Simplicity is the reason. You don`t need tons of different accounts and launchers in order to play games etc. I love PC but I wish they could simplify so that we did not need so many damn launchers like on consoles.
That's funny. I sold my Series x last year and invested in a gaming PC. Kept my PS5. Having a PC makes the xbox console redundant. Best decision i made
@@garethflook5706I used to be like you PC to the end but as you get older and your life gets busier with your career and family you will appreciate the simplicity of a console
Sold off my 3070 Ti build and grabbed myself an Xbox X and a steamdeck. I’m super happy with my swap I never miss my PC. Love how seamless the Xbox is never have to fix anything to make it work. At least once a week as a pc gamer I had something I needed to solve before my games would work the way I want them too
Only downside to the disc drive on the Series X is because it's the same disc drive as was in the Xbox One S/X, some 4K blurays will have playback issues because of how large some of the discs can be!
I am not a FANBOY!! So here's my pick as the best console to purchase (as a veteran gamer who has all systems)with all PROS & CONS: In first place, Nintendo Switch because: - It has the most AAA titles (Mario, DK, Zelda & Metroid...etc) - It's cheaper than the rest of the consoles and PC's - It's more geared towards Casual/Family/Co-op - Though it's not Graphics aren't as powerful as the rest, it's library of games are huge! - Battery 🔋 is overall the best over the rest long-term (especially using the Wii U)Use "8-bit" wireless controller device on Switch - Online features ok and Apps are NOT as great but it's primarily a gaming system - Best Mobile/Handheld system EVER!! - No system Crashes! - Games are the most expensive 😢 overall, even on Ebay - Cheapest system to purchase - Most convenient console to have ❤ - Flexible with other Switch Users - Old games can be digitally installed and played thru E-Shop on all systems - Games can be played offline Xbox Series is 2nd Place: - Controllers long-term are are Overall better than PS5. Get wired Controllers for all systems if you don't like remote control feature - Most flexible system Ever! - Battery life is 2nd place. Doesn't malfunction like PS5 Controllers over-time - Quick Resume! - Technically more powerful than both PS5 and Switch - Doesn't Crash or Overheat like PS5. Rarely crashes on Some graphical needy games. - Ultimate Gamepass! - Microsoft are purchasing gaming companies and is working with Nintendo. ❤❤❤ - Best Backward compatible system Overall! ❤❤❤ - Games purchased digitally can be played offline PS5 is in 3rd place: - Has good AAA like God of War, Horizon and Exclusives but not more than Nintendo - Fanboy hyped 😢 - Heavy install process 🥵 - Nice comfortable controllers. ❤ Features on controller aren't used often - Playstore sucks compared to Xbox Gamepass Ultimate - Lots of PS5 companies are moving to Xbox Microsoft & Nintendo 😢 - Games purchased digitally can't be played offline once Sony take away licenses from companies (research it ok) - Over time the controllers won't work properly. This has happened to me on all Playstation controllers 😢 PC 🖥 is in 4th place because: - Most Expensive - Games can't be played offline! - Graphics are the best - Fanboys love that mouse 🐁 😂😂😂 - Very expensive upgrades and repairs - Flexible with game controllers but you need to be technical savy to install anything - PC System not Overall convenient - Mouse and Keyboard nerds - Technical, technical, technical - Games are very cheap but can't be played offline 😢 - Modding - Not just for Gaming ❤
I get the whole “not wanting to be at my desk”, at the end of a long day all I want to do is sit on the couch and turn on the Xbox or PlayStation, feels like a chore turning on the PC and trying to get comfy I typically play on PC on days I don’t work and don’t have anything to do
@@user-eu3kr9eb1m well controller support isn’t really the problem, more of sitting at a desk rather than relaxing on the couch. Not that all of my favorite games have controller support. If I wanted to use a PC on my Tv, I’d need to spend the money to build one powerful enough for 4K -120fps (my 4060 TI can’t even do that on todays games), make it aesthetically pleasing enough for the living room, get a razer turret or similar wireless keyboard setup, and sit close enough to see all the letters on the screen. Then if I want to watch Apple TV, I’d still want to switch to the convenience of the Xbox app rather than finding it on Microsoft edge.
Series x was my first xbox only played on PlayStation before that. I truly love my X to the point I haven't even played on a ps5 yet. I'm looking into getting one soon tho.
I bought a Xbox SX last christmas and I absolutely don’t regret it. For me, it all comes down to GamePass… so many games to try and play, including new released games, and also a game store that often has discount and promotion on older games… so it allows me to catch up on games I missed, all from my couch, no need to run at the store to get the disc, etc… with a 8Gbps Fiber internet, most games are downloaded and installed by the time I’m done preparing myself a drink and a snack. My only wish would be a new Xbox discless that would compensate by having larger storage, like a 2TB or 4TB internal, and 2 to 4 Expansion drive slots, with a NVME enclosure that would fit in the expansion slot, so we could use regular NVME for native expansion, so we could add 4x 4TB expansion drives, or even 4x 8TB if their price ever drop… that would be more than enough to store all the games we want and remove any “need” for physical disc…
as pc gamer who tbh spent way too much recapturing the comfy factor of my console. I hate being at my desk and sitting in my bed or in my lazy boy helps me unwind so much more
I bought the Xbox remote for an extra $20 and use it for playing all my media as well as all gaming. Seamless and powerful switching in and out of both. Looking forward to second half of series x lifespan as this is where they usually squeeze the most performance out.
I got my Series X for $350 from Target the day before Christmas this past year. Which was a steal price wise. Most of my games are Xbox 360 backwards compatible supported titles. I tend to get multiplats for my PS5 only because of the full game being on the disc. To test this I just pop the game in with no internet and have it install. I was disappointed that Starfield did not come on a UHD bluray. I had to download 60GB.
That was a damn fine video dude. My series x is coming tomorrow. Im upgrading from the One s. All youtube vids are from like 3 years ago and i cant trust that. Such great demeanor you have a couple times i cracked up. Great content.
I have ps5 but now im trading it for a xbox series x just to plsy with my really good friends and such good games, plus with Microsoft buying a lot of companies it just makes sense
Makes much more sense to keep ps5 and buy a pc, because ps5 has exclusive titles you cant play anywhere else, all Xbox games can be played on pc so their is no need for Xbox series x and thats proably why ps5 keep outselling the Xbox series x
@@DeadPiixxelNot a good advice. He said he wants to play with his friends. I have tried playing with my friens who is on pc gamepass and the experience is not smooth. Having same platform for friends is better.
@@विचित्रलड़का I dont know what games you guys play but my experience with cross-platform in Street Fighter 6, Guilty Gear Strive and Tekken 8 have been really good (I play on PS5). These games have Rollback netcode so even playing country to country, lag is just about non-existent. More so depends on the individual`s internet speed these days. EDIT: For reference, I live in Japan and play with friends in America who are either on PC or Xbox.
The Xbox Series X is the best console to me. I just wished more people would give it a chance because all my friends play on Playstation and I'm the only one with an Xbox.
Just got mine today, i havent managed to try quick resume since ive only got a couple games installed so far, but the 120fps and insane loading times are amazing
Great video man. I agree with everything you said, and the Series X having discord built in is huge for me. Also I saw Fortnite in your library so let me know when you’re ready for duos 👍🏻
Nice perspective. I was a PC gamer for many years first and foremost, but somehow have mostly gotten out of it over the past few years. The pandemic and chip shortages and price gouging hit, and I started to enjoy my PlayStation and Xbox consoles more (love them both) and now I find myself mostly unable to get back into PC gaming.
I've kinder gone the other way tbh was a console gamer, got fed up with the high prices - I love the fact that I can PC game then take my Steam deck out with me and continue the same game. Nah for me consoles are prob over now for me
I used to be a heavy pc gamer. Now that I have kids and a family I just have 2 Series X’s. Amazing console 10/10 hopefully they update the controller soon
Great video! My favorite reason was "beating off 3 people at once" always wondered how I could do that. In all honesty, I just bought the console to picked at Target in an hour. Excited! :D
I bought this to use it on my new Samsung QLED 100 inch TV. It’s awesome. But mainly I bought it because of its cube like design. I love its design though! ❤
Great review and presentation. I'm seriously considering an X Box for gaming, mainly for motor racing simulations. Leaving the PC platform after various Microsoft updates rendered my original games unusable. I was told X Box has a better selection of racing simulations than PS. Will try and save my money for a nice setup (with steering wheel, pedals, shifter). Any helpful advice is appreciated.
I just bought the xbox series x 3 days ago with mw3 and madden '24. It's a cool console! A lot of free games too hit man 3 destroy all humans, destiny 2, rocket league, fortnite. And there's a lot of games with game pass as well. I've been playing too much since I bought it honestly
Hey man good video. I’ve also been playing more console lately over my pc. It’s felt refreshing to just turn on, play and recline. There’s something hard to pin point why it’s not enjoyable the obvious pick up n play isn’t quite it nor the fact there’s no need to worry about driver updates or general random pc issues. Someone on Reddit worked it out though, it’s missing soul. Sure PC can do more but just hopping on a console seeing a dashboard and playing a game with no fuss with easy access to seeing a friends list and seeing others online doing their thing. Thats it. I’m sure nostalgia perhaps has a slight role in there too.
It's been 3 or so years since launch and retailers in Australia charge a whopping $800 for this, apparently there's a refresh coming towards the end of the year, with the only part really refreshing is an upgrade to 2TB of storage. Ridiculous that the price will be $600 USD.
Was an Xboxer since 2005 but been primarily on PC for 6 years or so. I do miss the simplicity of having just a game library on one system. I like the design, I'd get one if my One S ever dies/stops reading discs. But the PS5 is more "next gen" and actually has exclusives (tho they are trickling to PC), so I'd probably replace my PS4 first. Good video!
glad to see so many people have positive opinions on the xsx! ive had mine since day 1, but unfortunately, it's ended up worse for me than the xbone, at least that was an expensive blu ray player. I havent used the xsx for a decent chunk of time now. when i have time free from work, i tend to just go straight for my ps5. this gen started so positively for xbox, but for me, i think the lack of exclusives ended up with me affectively moving to pretty much just my ps5
Given the next gen rumours too, i think it'd be pretty smart if Xbox go with the cheaper version being something like a steam deck/rog ally, and the premium being a full blown console
With the fact that this generation hasn’t exactly been the best in terms of feeling next gen I feel like the series x is a pretty good option for playing older games using backwards compatibility, especially the old cods. Xbox 360 was the place to be back in the mw3 and bo2 days so being able to play those games again with a little better graphics and smoother gameplay is always a good time
I was a console primarily gamer then went pc but came back to console for maybe some reasons, it's just easier, sit in easy chair and stuff usually just works, no broken pc windows updates or broken drivers problems
Same, also own both systems and have every gen, both good as usual, less time to game than before, can't wait to retire in 8 years and really get some good gametime happening, eyeing off a 4K projector with 2 x HDMI 2.1 ports.....drool.
Im so tempted to get this just for game pass as a pure digital system already have a ps5 and I'm big into physical disc but gamepass blows Playstation subsciption away in value I prefer ps5 more but this would be a good value as a pure digital with gamepass
Just sold my Series S in order to save up for a Series X. I have a couple of questions....can I lay the console down flat (long ways) and does the disc drive work good with no problems now? I heard there were some issues with earlier models. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my comment and answer my questions 🙂 Great video by the way 👍🏻
@shamancult Thanks for your feedback, sir. Much appreciated! Yeah, I thought about it, and I'll probably end up going with the Xbox Series S 1tb model. What sucks is, I actually bought my Series S (the 500 GB white model) RIGHT BEFORE, the announcement of the black 1tb Series S model. I had no idea it was coming. I was like "aww man, cannot believe I rushed and did not wait!" Lol Digital games aren't so much a problem to me. I don't mind ditching the disc, the issue for me was that little bitty 500GB. It went WAY TOO FAST. But anyway, thanks for the input, man. I really appreciate it. Good luck with your channel 🙂
This is basically my take exactly, aside from your controller preference. While i look forward to the new and improved Xbox controller and innovations, I much prefer the battery life and AA option vs the dual sense crazy short battery life and non-replaceable battery. I'm a web developer so i spend all day at my computer, while its very capable at gaming, at the end of the day i just dont want to sit at my desk anymore. Much prefer couch gaming, and all the streaming options for the family.
My SX has been sat here for over 2 years gathering dust. Think I’ve only booted it up 20x in total. There’s no reason to turn it on. I play everything 3rd party on PS including all their 1st party and I have a Switch. Xbox has an arcade racer and HiFi Rush. 2 games in a decade. I’m hoping they can get some decent games out this year, time will tell. I’d like to use the thing.
I bought Xbox Series X December last year for £349.99 I stay in UK 🇬🇧 it’s more for movies tv shows music UA-cam and 4K blu ray player I purchased one. However I will be buying Tekken 8 over the weekend and I’m really looking forward to seeing how good the graphics really are
I was also a PC main from 2011 to 2018. They priced me out. The 1080Ti is the last graphics card I bought. When GPUs went through the roof, I stopped upgrading my PC. I spent 2400 building that PC in 2017.... and the XSX outperforms it for $500. I will always stick with the most powerful console from here on out. If Xbox decides not to make an X Pro, I will switch to Sony when they release their PS5 Pro. My only goal is to play at every game at 60fps. I don't care if resolution is upscaled from 720p, I just can't do 30fps. XSX has been amazing in that regard but.... when I see games like Starfield with no 60fps option, that is a deal breaker for me and it's time to up the power. 30fps needs to be left in the past. 60fps should be the absolute bare minimum frame rate for any game in 2024 and beyond. I simply wont buy a game that doesn't have at least the option of 60fps.
I had this scenario going on as far back as the Xbox one X releasing. That console was doing better things than what I considered still a decent PC in 2017 with a 980ti. Got the console with a staff discount for £400, always seen the benefit of mainly sticking to premium consoles since then
@@a-animal1206 that engine is complete unoptimized garbage. Assassins Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk look much better and easily have a 60fps mode. Starfield doest even look that impressive. Also... the game looks boring asf from the vids Ive seen of people playing. They straight dropped the ball on that one
I have an older Xbox One X. I prefered it to PC mostly because I favor game pad over mouse. While less precise, the way a game pad handles movement seems more "realistic" in a shooter. As movement is relative an culmative. Rather than cursor or crosshair pulled directly spot on. I don't like mouse and keyboard clutter. I want to keep my eyes on screen at all times. I easily feel button ID and location. Trigger, bumper, button, all feel very different. Keyboard keys do not. Now that gamepad use is available on pretty much all modern games, there is no need to pay for that Gold account any more. I haven't booted my console in months. I might, might get the new Series X 2gb, with the USB C port, which is more important than people realize. You hang an Nvme SSD in a case off of that, and it FLYS.
I have an entry-level gaming laptop (ASS TUF F15, RTX 1650Ti) with XBOX game pass for PC, which works great for most games in medium to high settings (FIFA 23, NFS etc.). I am planning to get a console, but confused between PS5 and XBOX, after watching so many review videos. On one hand, PS5 has great exclusives, and DualSense Controllers with Adaptive Triggers, XBOX X has the Game Pass, which is cheaper in comparison to PS5 Plus subscription in India. Also, XBOX Game Pass Ultimate gives the access to play on Console, PC or Cloud Gaming. So, which one is better to go for? I always wanted a console since childhood but couldn't get one because of financial constraints, but now that I'm working I think I can get one (although not sure if I will get enough time to play 😞). Thanks in advance for any response, and sorry for the loooong comment!
Hi, got myself a xbox series x recently. Already have a ps5. Gamepass has better selection of games than playstation plus extra. Cod black ops 6 is releasing on gamepass in october. Been playing hellblade 2 on series x and it looks great. But ps5 has some exclusive games like Spiderman 2. It's a tough choice between ps5 and series x, but I would recommend series x due to gamepass content.
I use mine for viewing movies, I have a movie room. I am buying blu rays like crazy, second hand. The xbox unlocks all the features, 4k looks amazing, sound great. I hate streaming services. This console has an optical output, which my system uses to out put great sounding DTS. Sounds great, while gaming as well.😊
One thing I’ve noticed about my Series X is how easy it is to just play games. I love my PC and will always use it, but the Series X with Game Pass, cloud streaming, and Quick Resume makes it so easy to just launch a game and get playing right away
As much as people complain about the lack of exclusives, between Game Pass, backwards compatibility, deals on the Game Store, and all the major multiplatform releases, I've never had as much access to as many quality games as I do with the Series X.
Whilst technically speaking it is packing similar GPU parity to a 2070, however due to console optimization and other custom development tools id say these 9th gen consoles especially the XSX are producing result's that look similar to what my 3070 produces, and even then I have to really tinker with settings to get that 3070 to run the latest titles as solidly as these consoles generally do ( there are of course the odd exceptions)
I’m in the same boat as the director. I have a decent gaming pc but I find most of the time when I get home after working on computers all day, the last thing I feel like doing is sitting down in front of my gaming pc. It’s so much nicer imo to sit in my recliner where I’ve got a 65 inch screen and a sound bar with sub hooked up. As far as Xbox vs PlayStation, what did it for me this generation was basically in 2020 I was actually able to get an Xbox series s when all of the next generation consoles were being scalped. I did end up later upgrading to the Xbox series x from the series s, however in retrospect while I like my series x, not totally sure upgrading is worth it if you have a series s already. That said I could see myself picking up a ps5 later this year, especially now that the digital edition can be found for 400.
I’m going into iOS/Mac/Apple, Nintendo Switch, and PC and Xbox series X gaming. If that won’t provide a decent selection of games for me and a decent selection of games gamers like. Well, I’m going to cry!!! 😩😩😩
I’m mainly a PC gamer but I play on Xbox for Apex Legends. I feel it’s way faster to get into the next round because PS4/5 and Xbox 1/S/X share the same lobbies.
I've never played a X-box. I've only done PC (back in the day) and PlayStation. I only got into PlayStation because when I finally decided to go console I made a trip to Best Buy. As fate had it, Best Buy was out of Xbox console and luckily they had one PS3. I love my PS5, but the resume feature on the Xbox makes me envious. I want Xbox to succeed as competition is always a good thing. Excellent review.
First time watching any of your videos . I like the information and your delivery. The only thing that took me by surprise was that “f” word in the beginning of the video , luckily my toddler had just walked to the other room and didn’t hear it (they pick up everything) specially bad words. Anyway, I hope you don’t take my comment in a bad way. I really appreciate the time you took to make this video which helped me make a decision in picking up an Xbox . Thank you .
As someone who has never owned a console, I was thinking of getting an Xbox S/X as it's not only more affordable and just as potent as a PS5 but also because it's very space efficient. But then I started hearing about all these Xbox rumors
I have never owner an Xbox before. Im making the jump this Holiday after doing research and finding out about the All digital Series X because if this is going to be my Digital console why would i sacrifice those shiny Series X graphics for the Series S when an All Digital Series X is coming out during the Holidays?
It's so refreshing to see comments being positive about xbox there has been so much going around I started with xbox 360 as a kid now with series x I've had no issues with it it dose what I want it to play the games I love its not that deep
It’s kinda sad my reasons for moving away from Sony. I went back to PC gaming and finally got an X-box controller. Now I am use to the of set sticks I love it. Not being rechargeable was a big shock as I didn’t know before buying it. I soon got over that fact as there are third party batteries. Plus when that dies you can race for any AAs while waiting for eBay to deliver the replacement. Your are not up controller replacement cost. So if I ever want both worlds it would make sense to get a Xbox and be accustomed to one controller style for both.
I have the XBOX for around 3 years already and I love it. What I like the most is quick resume and the possibility to buy games much cheaper than for a PS5. I got the PS5 few weeks ago, but only for Demon Souls, Bloodborne and Nioh. Other exclusives are not that interesting to me...well maybe Rise of the Ronin if they don't f it up.
I can't take you seriously when you praise the UI, it's not customizable much in fact they've made it less so, Microsoft locks in ad driven stuff on your home screen, and will lock you out of accessing any online ability if you don't want to update. It's unfortunate this stuff isn't called out more.
I tried pc gaming for a year, years ago and hated it. I never liked keyboard and mouse, it takes ages for my pc to start up, it updates every time it is switched on and is so slow. I never had any issues with my xbox series x. I have been gaming for 40 years. I prefer console gaming.
I’m a PlayStation guy always have been. Have had my PS5 since launch. But I’ve always been a fan of Xbox as well. The 360 is one of my fav consoles of all time. Then the One came out and I wasn’t really feeling that console. My One ended up just collecting dust while I was on my PS4 most of the time. I finally went ahead and just picked me up a Series X and right now I’m playing Halo Infinite and Starfield and man I’m having a blast so far. Feels good to be able to take a break from my PS5 for a bit and enjoy some Xbox games I’ve been wanting to play here for a while.
The series X is awesome! Check it out here - geni.us/XboxSeries-X

So true I like both consoled and the fanboyism crazy.
Very true. I'm also a bit older and have both systems as well. Just want to have fun and this is exactly what both consoles do.
Faaaaaaacts! Same man!
Same here 40 year old here and I have both consoles. I have ps5 for their exclusives and XSX for gamepass and backwards compatibility
I wish some people would treat gaming as fun. I own both xbox because gamepass is so much better than ps plus and I have ps5 for exclusives. Personally I prefer xbox but my brothers who are playstation to the core simply won't have it some people like xbox and will start an argument with anyone who says a bad word against playstation. Funny thing is they have never so much as looked on gamepass but swear it's shite.
Quick resume is only important if you have experienced it. Because it's one of those little quality of life improvements that you just can't live without anymore after a while.
It doesn't work sometimes on my series s
@@LANFEAR93 there is a maximum of games that can be held in quick resume. If you exceed the designated amount of memory set a side for quick resume the game played the longest ago will cycle out.
Also if you've played a (play anywhere) game in quick resume on the cloud, pc or another console the game also needs to re launch even if it's in quick resume to sync with the progress made else where.
Okay, thank you for the information but I play only one game at a time. For a game (AC Vlhalla) that is bought and installed (not game pass) Can it be a sync issue due to network interruption and then I shut down the device and turn it on at a later time? @@MrMickey1987
This is so real! As a busy adult, I thought I preferred PS5 until I got a Series X. Now my PS5 is just taking dust.
I can only imagine. It is one feature I think PS5 is really lacking. When I'm playing games directly from SSD it's not too bad, but when I switch to games on disk drive the loading screen is annoying. Quick, but annoying.
As someone who fell off gaming these last few years, the sales that the Xbox series X had this past holiday season made buying an Xbox almost a no brainer! I’ve been enjoying playing some of my old favorite games again like Dishonored thanks to game pass as well 🙌🏽

@@quietgamer4429 popularity, my friend that’s why! also understand that Xbox isn’t pushing consoles like PlayStation is PlayStations whole model is to try and push out as many consoles as possible. Xbox is focused on pushing game pass and has always been that. from a revenue standpoint they are doing A damn good job a real smart investment. And once consoles phase out which they will Game Pass will still be around. As a ps fan who just got a Xbox it’s mind blowing how we have 4 exclusives that they can remake and the fanboys go crazy and say it’s the best thing since sliced bread lol glad I opened my horizon to other options I think I’m choosing series x for my primary console going forward lol
My thoughts exactly. The only console war I am in is the war with myself over which one to use today. People who spend all their time arguing over which is "better" are wasting their energy and time. GO PLAY VIDEOGAMES instead. Lol
Awesome video as always man. Love watching your channel grow so much!

I have PS5 and Xbox. I genuinely like the Xbox hardware better, if it wasn’t for the exclusives on ps5 I would only have an Xbox. Game pass is phenomenal, backwards compatibility is excellent. Upcoming games look great, Xbox is starting to get rolling I think.
Your comment nailed that in very few words ❤
Agreed, the amount of backwards compatibility with the X Box series X is just one of the great things about the console, especially since I’ve got a huge amount of OG xbox & 360 games in my collection. I can finally play my Timesplitters 2 & ‘Future Perfect games again (just to name a couple) without having to set my old OG X Box up, which is a huge bonus. The rapid resume function is really handy since I do like to jump about from game to game sometimes & the game pass subscription is great aswell,so it all adds up to a pretty bad ass console gaming experience.
What do you mean by hardware?
For me hardware is the CPU, GPU etc.
Or do you mean input devices like controllers?
@smegul1464 and he's a ps5 fan boy
Picked up XBSX at Walmart for $350 during the holidays and having an absolute blast with it. Quick Resume is gold.
I picked up a $350 Xbox Series X too. What a deal. Loving it.
It was $300 recently at Staples too (still that price if you can find one in stock), but that's because they are getting rid of their video game section.

Exactly. And that is what they are built to do. Enjoy gaming for a reasonable price.
God, it's good to hear someone not mind contrasting opinions and still relate to it as gaming. We should all be happy, not fall into silly dilemmas over which console "wins". It is amazing to sit down and resume a game without visiting the title screen and stop wherever you want. You make a great content creator. Check back on you next time.
A grown ass adult who doesn't fanboy over a gaming console?? Man you love to see it
Respect for starting out saying you don't care about console wars/ console vs pc debate. I also do not care and simply want to find the product that will give me the most utility at the best price.
It's amazing how much extra programable buttons on a pro controller helps. For instance in a lot of games A button is for activation BUT you move with the left thumbstick so you have to take a few precious milliseconds to take your thumb off the thumbstick to open the door or loot the chest etc. A pro controller can remap the activation button to the unused grip which you can in one fluid motion hit with your pinky which also goes unused. ALSO some pro controllers (Razer Wolverine) make the triggers shallower so you have less give before you scope and/ or fire so you get the first shot! I'm just commenting because I hate to see hardcore gamers that just use the standard controllers :(.
But I wanna say, you don't get many reviews like this so late in the console's lifespan, good video!
$250 AUD for a controller with a couple of extra programmable buttons, I think not.
@@MultiDark2012 Most ARPGs and shooters have you push the left analog stick to sprint. Due to my disability my feeble hands cannot do that in the midst of battle without blowing my cover if not significantly slowing my advance because of fumbling with my controller to correct my inability to depress the stick that moves you without moving the stick itself if not pressing another button as I have to use unusual methods to even do it in the first place. This allows me to easily program that function into a button that's easier to press such as one on the grip where all I need to do is squeeze. When the alternative is NOT being able to sprint at all in the midst of battle than YES it is worth my $30 extra ie when I bought my Razer Wolverine V1 Xbox ONE controler it was 70 bucks on sale, not all pro controlers cost 250. But yes, one of my bigger complaints about Playstation is their controllers are all SO EXPENSIVE! Xbox contollers aren't though (particularly if you don't care if it's wireless or not).
Besides accessibility advantages it's just plain BETTER, it gives me shorter give on trigger buttons for FPS' and longer for racing sims. It lets me put buttons into more convenient positions whether I NEED to or not- in the end I breeze through bosses in Elden Ring I didn't have a chance against previously!
Hey mate and greetings from Australia. I don’t really care what others think. I just love them both also have the Switch OLED which has such an incredible little screen.
Don’t be afraid to have honest takes as you can’t control what other people think they feel 😁
This is just such an amazing time to be a gamer. I have so far put 100 plus hours in Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 and an equal amount of hours if not more into Cyberpunk 2077 on series X.
I feel lucky enough to have the Spider-Man 2 PS5 and the Halo edition Series X. I still think these are the best looking ones to date. (Yes I know you can just buy the plates for PS5 but I couldn’t find them in stock where as there were plenty of the console packs available.)
Honestly you could easily just only buy those two games and be satisfied for a year if not longer without any further purchases.
I do get free Gamepass though so I love the series X for that.
I also have PS Extra and love how they have more and more PS1 games to muck around with as well as incredible titles . Especially anyone new to PlayStation.
I can’t see why people can’t just enjoy gaming and worry so much what someone elses’s plastic box is 😁
Anyway I wish everyone happy gaming except those on mobile as they suck 🤪
hell yea. I have a 4070 PC laptop that works great and I still prefer gaming on Series X
6800xt and ps5.... Love xsx most!
I have gaming PC with an RTX 4070 Ghost and I still play on my series X. Simplicity is the reason. You don`t need tons of different accounts and launchers in order to play games etc. I love PC but I wish they could simplify so that we did not need so many damn launchers like on consoles.
That's funny. I sold my Series x last year and invested in a gaming PC. Kept my PS5. Having a PC makes the xbox console redundant. Best decision i made
@@garethflook5706I used to be like you PC to the end but as you get older and your life gets busier with your career and family you will appreciate the simplicity of a console
@@thepicard83that’s a sort of niche issue since most people only use steam but more simplicity is more good than not
Just bought one after having a one s for a minute and I was not expecting my games to look so good. I lt actually made me feel like a kid again
Sold off my 3070 Ti build and grabbed myself an Xbox X and a steamdeck. I’m super happy with my swap I never miss my PC. Love how seamless the Xbox is never have to fix anything to make it work. At least once a week as a pc gamer I had something I needed to solve before my games would work the way I want them too
I’ve been meaning to try the steam deck. Tempted!
LOL
Only downside to the disc drive on the Series X is because it's the same disc drive as was in the Xbox One S/X, some 4K blurays will have playback issues because of how large some of the discs can be!
But overall it is good?
I am not a FANBOY!!
So here's my pick as the best console to purchase (as a veteran gamer who has all systems)with all PROS & CONS:
In first place, Nintendo Switch because:
- It has the most AAA titles (Mario, DK, Zelda & Metroid...etc)
- It's cheaper than the rest of the consoles and PC's
- It's more geared towards Casual/Family/Co-op
- Though it's not Graphics aren't as powerful as the rest, it's library of games are huge!
- Battery 🔋 is overall the best over the rest long-term (especially using the Wii U)Use "8-bit" wireless controller device on Switch
- Online features ok and Apps are NOT as great but it's primarily a gaming system
- Best Mobile/Handheld system EVER!!
- No system Crashes!
- Games are the most expensive 😢 overall, even on Ebay
- Cheapest system to purchase
- Most convenient console to have ❤
- Flexible with other Switch Users
- Old games can be digitally installed and played thru E-Shop on all systems
- Games can be played offline
Xbox Series is 2nd Place:
- Controllers long-term are are Overall better than PS5. Get wired Controllers for all systems if you don't like remote control feature
- Most flexible system Ever!
- Battery life is 2nd place. Doesn't malfunction like PS5 Controllers over-time
- Quick Resume!
- Technically more powerful than both PS5 and Switch
- Doesn't Crash or Overheat like PS5. Rarely crashes on Some graphical needy games.
- Ultimate Gamepass!
- Microsoft are purchasing gaming companies and is working with Nintendo. ❤❤❤
- Best Backward compatible system Overall! ❤❤❤
- Games purchased digitally can be played offline
PS5 is in 3rd place:
- Has good AAA like God of War, Horizon and Exclusives but not more than Nintendo
- Fanboy hyped 😢
- Heavy install process 🥵
- Nice comfortable controllers. ❤ Features on controller aren't used often
- Playstore sucks compared to Xbox Gamepass Ultimate
- Lots of PS5 companies are moving to Xbox Microsoft & Nintendo 😢
- Games purchased digitally can't be played offline once Sony take away licenses from companies (research it ok)
- Over time the controllers won't work properly. This has happened to me on all Playstation controllers 😢
PC 🖥 is in 4th place because:
- Most Expensive
- Games can't be played offline!
- Graphics are the best
- Fanboys love that mouse 🐁 😂😂😂
- Very expensive upgrades and repairs
- Flexible with game controllers but you need to be technical savy to install anything
- PC System not Overall convenient
- Mouse and Keyboard nerds
- Technical, technical, technical
- Games are very cheap but can't be played offline 😢
- Modding
- Not just for Gaming ❤
A very good comment that I also agree with
I just recently switched to the Series X from the Series S and man what a difference
Same. Right before all this new stuff drops too.
@s.1mt tell me you’ve never read the specifications without telling me you’ve never read the specifications 😂
@s.1mt your opinion
I get the whole “not wanting to be at my desk”, at the end of a long day all I want to do is sit on the couch and turn on the Xbox or PlayStation, feels like a chore turning on the PC and trying to get comfy
I typically play on PC on days I don’t work and don’t have anything to do
@@user-eu3kr9eb1m well controller support isn’t really the problem, more of sitting at a desk rather than relaxing on the couch. Not that all of my favorite games have controller support. If I wanted to use a PC on my Tv, I’d need to spend the money to build one powerful enough for 4K -120fps (my 4060 TI can’t even do that on todays games), make it aesthetically pleasing enough for the living room, get a razer turret or similar wireless keyboard setup, and sit close enough to see all the letters on the screen. Then if I want to watch Apple TV, I’d still want to switch to the convenience of the Xbox app rather than finding it on Microsoft edge.
Series x was my first xbox only played on PlayStation before that. I truly love my X to the point I haven't even played on a ps5 yet. I'm looking into getting one soon tho.
Quick resume feature is helping me out on my RE4 Remake speedruns lol
I bought a Xbox SX last christmas and I absolutely don’t regret it. For me, it all comes down to GamePass… so many games to try and play, including new released games, and also a game store that often has discount and promotion on older games… so it allows me to catch up on games I missed, all from my couch, no need to run at the store to get the disc, etc… with a 8Gbps Fiber internet, most games are downloaded and installed by the time I’m done preparing myself a drink and a snack. My only wish would be a new Xbox discless that would compensate by having larger storage, like a 2TB or 4TB internal, and 2 to 4 Expansion drive slots, with a NVME enclosure that would fit in the expansion slot, so we could use regular NVME for native expansion, so we could add 4x 4TB expansion drives, or even 4x 8TB if their price ever drop… that would be more than enough to store all the games we want and remove any “need” for physical disc…
as pc gamer who tbh spent way too much recapturing the comfy factor of my console. I hate being at my desk and sitting in my bed or in my lazy boy helps me unwind so much more
I bought the Xbox remote for an extra $20 and use it for playing all my media as well as all gaming. Seamless and powerful switching in and out of both. Looking forward to second half of series x lifespan as this is where they usually squeeze the most performance out.
I love my Series X! I can replay my entire backlog catalog, Game Pass is a no brainer and it’s so quiet! No noise, no rattling.
I got my Series X for $350 from Target the day before Christmas this past year. Which was a steal price wise. Most of my games are Xbox 360 backwards compatible supported titles. I tend to get multiplats for my PS5 only because of the full game being on the disc. To test this I just pop the game in with no internet and have it install. I was disappointed that Starfield did not come on a UHD bluray. I had to download 60GB.
That was a damn fine video dude. My series x is coming tomorrow. Im upgrading from the One s. All youtube vids are from like 3 years ago and i cant trust that. Such great demeanor you have a couple times i cracked up. Great content.
Do you see a difference between the Series S and X?
For me, it’s how well it handles multi tasking when it comes to media apps.
The Xbox is an amazing console. Saw your video a while Back and bought the Series S. Really brought me back to gaming.
Nice man, happy you're digging the Series S. I still use mine weekly, love it to bits.
You got a sub for “simply not caring” I respect that
I also will be choosing the series x strictly because I can beat off 3 people at once in 4K. 0:23
Can't afford PC gaming so Series X for me is the next best thing....
Just enjoy games and don't worry about what other people are playing and enjoying. Be happy for each other having a good experience.
I have ps5 but now im trading it for a xbox series x just to plsy with my really good friends and such good games, plus with Microsoft buying a lot of companies it just makes sense
No money huh
Makes much more sense to keep ps5 and buy a pc, because ps5 has exclusive titles you cant play anywhere else, all Xbox games can be played on pc so their is no need for Xbox series x and thats proably why ps5 keep outselling the Xbox series x

I bought this to use it on my new Samsung QLED 100 inch TV. It’s awesome. But mainly I bought it because of its cube like design. I love its design though! ❤
Great review and presentation. I'm seriously considering an X Box for gaming, mainly for motor racing simulations. Leaving the PC platform after various Microsoft updates rendered my original games unusable. I was told X Box has a better selection of racing simulations than PS. Will try and save my money for a nice setup (with steering wheel, pedals, shifter). Any helpful advice is appreciated.
mans is doing WHAT in chivalry?
I have both consoles ps5 and xbox x. I love them both equally
I just bought the xbox series x 3 days ago with mw3 and madden '24. It's a cool console! A lot of free games too hit man 3 destroy all humans, destiny 2, rocket league, fortnite. And there's a lot of games with game pass as well. I've been playing too much since I bought it honestly
I hate the console wars. It is just sad how people are always trying to compare them.
Hey man good video. I’ve also been playing more console lately over my pc. It’s felt refreshing to just turn on, play and recline.
There’s something hard to pin point why it’s not enjoyable the obvious pick up n play isn’t quite it nor the fact there’s no need to worry about driver updates or general random pc issues.
Someone on Reddit worked it out though, it’s missing soul. Sure PC can do more but just hopping on a console seeing a dashboard and playing a game with no fuss with easy access to seeing a friends list and seeing others online doing their thing. Thats it. I’m sure nostalgia perhaps has a slight role in there too.
It's been 3 or so years since launch and retailers in Australia charge a whopping $800 for this, apparently there's a refresh coming towards the end of the year, with the only part really refreshing is an upgrade to 2TB of storage. Ridiculous that the price will be $600 USD.
I have been shocked by the quality of Xbox 360 games on the Xbox Series X.
Was an Xboxer since 2005 but been primarily on PC for 6 years or so. I do miss the simplicity of having just a game library on one system. I like the design, I'd get one if my One S ever dies/stops reading discs. But the PS5 is more "next gen" and actually has exclusives (tho they are trickling to PC), so I'd probably replace my PS4 first. Good video!
glad to see so many people have positive opinions on the xsx! ive had mine since day 1, but unfortunately, it's ended up worse for me than the xbone, at least that was an expensive blu ray player. I havent used the xsx for a decent chunk of time now. when i have time free from work, i tend to just go straight for my ps5. this gen started so positively for xbox, but for me, i think the lack of exclusives ended up with me affectively moving to pretty much just my ps5
Given the next gen rumours too, i think it'd be pretty smart if Xbox go with the cheaper version being something like a steam deck/rog ally, and the premium being a full blown console
Bunch of weirdos in these comments, feeling the need to say something shitty about Xbox just because they prefer a PC or PS5. Get a life.
With the fact that this generation hasn’t exactly been the best in terms of feeling next gen I feel like the series x is a pretty good option for playing older games using backwards compatibility, especially the old cods. Xbox 360 was the place to be back in the mw3 and bo2 days so being able to play those games again with a little better graphics and smoother gameplay is always a good time
I was a console primarily gamer then went pc but came back to console for maybe some reasons, it's just easier, sit in easy chair and stuff usually just works, no broken pc windows updates or broken drivers problems
Same, also own both systems and have every gen, both good as usual, less time to game than before, can't wait to retire in 8 years and really get some good gametime happening, eyeing off a 4K projector with 2 x HDMI 2.1 ports.....drool.
I’ve been pc gaming since like 2019 and honestly I miss the simplicity of console gaming. So I ordered a series x today.
Yeah dude this sorta resonates for me too. I’ve been playing a lot of diablo 4 on my series x despite having a pc.
Great wrap up, the only thing he missed I think, which I find invaluable as someone who loves retro gaming is the emulation you can do in dev mode...
Im so tempted to get this just for game pass as a pure digital system already have a ps5 and I'm big into physical disc but gamepass blows Playstation subsciption away in value I prefer ps5 more but this would be a good value as a pure digital with gamepass
Just sold my Series S in order to save up for a Series X. I have a couple of questions....can I lay the console down flat (long ways) and does the disc drive work good with no problems now? I heard there were some issues with earlier models. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my comment and answer my questions 🙂 Great video by the way 👍🏻
@shamancult Thanks for your feedback, sir. Much appreciated! Yeah, I thought about it, and I'll probably end up going with the Xbox Series S 1tb model. What sucks is, I actually bought my Series S (the 500 GB white model) RIGHT BEFORE, the announcement of the black 1tb Series S model. I had no idea it was coming. I was like "aww man, cannot believe I rushed and did not wait!" Lol Digital games aren't so much a problem to me. I don't mind ditching the disc, the issue for me was that little bitty 500GB. It went WAY TOO FAST. But anyway, thanks for the input, man. I really appreciate it. Good luck with your channel 🙂
The series x is an excellent console for the money
This is basically my take exactly, aside from your controller preference. While i look forward to the new and improved Xbox controller and innovations, I much prefer the battery life and AA option vs the dual sense crazy short battery life and non-replaceable battery. I'm a web developer so i spend all day at my computer, while its very capable at gaming, at the end of the day i just dont want to sit at my desk anymore. Much prefer couch gaming, and all the streaming options for the family.
My SX has been sat here for over 2 years gathering dust. Think I’ve only booted it up 20x in total. There’s no reason to turn it on.
I play everything 3rd party on PS including all their 1st party and I have a Switch.
Xbox has an arcade racer and HiFi Rush. 2 games in a decade.
I’m hoping they can get some decent games out this year, time will tell. I’d like to use the thing.
I'm loving my series X
I bought Xbox Series X December last year for £349.99 I stay in UK 🇬🇧 it’s more for movies tv shows music UA-cam and 4K blu ray player I purchased one. However I will be buying Tekken 8 over the weekend and I’m really looking forward to seeing how good the graphics really are
niicceee
PlayStation has a better BluRay and multiplats... Not a PlayStation fan, just saying.
@@TheRealist1. I was going to get PS5 but it was £495 and I couldn’t afford it.
I'm UK too, where did you buy your xbox at such a low price?
@@mufcrulz ebay 🤫
I was also a PC main from 2011 to 2018. They priced me out. The 1080Ti is the last graphics card I bought. When GPUs went through the roof, I stopped upgrading my PC. I spent 2400 building that PC in 2017.... and the XSX outperforms it for $500. I will always stick with the most powerful console from here on out. If Xbox decides not to make an X Pro, I will switch to Sony when they release their PS5 Pro. My only goal is to play at every game at 60fps. I don't care if resolution is upscaled from 720p, I just can't do 30fps. XSX has been amazing in that regard but.... when I see games like Starfield with no 60fps option, that is a deal breaker for me and it's time to up the power. 30fps needs to be left in the past. 60fps should be the absolute bare minimum frame rate for any game in 2024 and beyond. I simply wont buy a game that doesn't have at least the option of 60fps.
I had this scenario going on as far back as the Xbox one X releasing. That console was doing better things than what I considered still a decent PC in 2017 with a 980ti. Got the console with a staff discount for £400, always seen the benefit of mainly sticking to premium consoles since then
I have a feeling within a few years starfield will get a 60fps patch somehow
@@a-animal1206 that engine is complete unoptimized garbage. Assassins Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk look much better and easily have a 60fps mode. Starfield doest even look that impressive. Also... the game looks boring asf from the vids Ive seen of people playing. They straight dropped the ball on that one
Nice, but i can never play in a bright room like that 😅😂
Good content and info!
I have an older Xbox One X. I prefered it to PC mostly because I favor game pad over mouse. While less precise, the way a game pad handles movement seems more "realistic" in a shooter. As movement is relative an culmative. Rather than cursor or crosshair pulled directly spot on. I don't like mouse and keyboard clutter. I want to keep my eyes on screen at all times. I easily feel button ID and location. Trigger, bumper, button, all feel very different. Keyboard keys do not. Now that gamepad use is available on pretty much all modern games, there is no need to pay for that Gold account any more. I haven't booted my console in months. I might, might get the new Series X 2gb, with the USB C port, which is more important than people realize. You hang an Nvme SSD in a case off of that, and it FLYS.
I have an entry-level gaming laptop (ASS TUF F15, RTX 1650Ti) with XBOX game pass for PC, which works great for most games in medium to high settings (FIFA 23, NFS etc.). I am planning to get a console, but confused between PS5 and XBOX, after watching so many review videos. On one hand, PS5 has great exclusives, and DualSense Controllers with Adaptive Triggers, XBOX X has the Game Pass, which is cheaper in comparison to PS5 Plus subscription in India. Also, XBOX Game Pass Ultimate gives the access to play on Console, PC or Cloud Gaming. So, which one is better to go for? I always wanted a console since childhood but couldn't get one because of financial constraints, but now that I'm working I think I can get one (although not sure if I will get enough time to play 😞). Thanks in advance for any response, and sorry for the loooong comment!
Hi, got myself a xbox series x recently. Already have a ps5. Gamepass has better selection of games than playstation plus extra. Cod black ops 6 is releasing on gamepass in october. Been playing hellblade 2 on series x and it looks great. But ps5 has some exclusive games like Spiderman 2. It's a tough choice between ps5 and series x, but I would recommend series x due to gamepass content.
@@tonysebastian202 Thank you for the suggestion 😊
I use mine for viewing movies, I have a movie room. I am buying blu rays like crazy, second hand. The xbox unlocks all the features, 4k looks amazing, sound great. I hate streaming services. This console has an optical output, which my system uses to out put great sounding DTS.
Sounds great, while gaming as well.😊
I’ve been thinking of doing this too actually. Steaming services and digital is starting to tick me off.
Happy to hear your use case for the series X
One thing I’ve noticed about my Series X is how easy it is to just play games. I love my PC and will always use it, but the Series X with Game Pass, cloud streaming, and Quick Resume makes it so easy to just launch a game and get playing right away
As much as people complain about the lack of exclusives, between Game Pass, backwards compatibility, deals on the Game Store, and all the major multiplatform releases, I've never had as much access to as many quality games as I do with the Series X.
This was a really good little unbiased video. Thank you.
Im also a older gamer, and in my opinion the last real console war was way back in yhe 80s and 90s namely Nintendo vs Sega!
then you clearly didn’t endure the PS3 vs Xbox 360 battle
Switched from a ps4 back in 2014 an built a gaming pc. Besides the Internet bill dont have to pay to play on ps plus or xbox live etc
Huge benefits to PC. All my homies are on helldivers and I can't playing with them cross platform, sucksssss
Whilst technically speaking it is packing similar GPU parity to a 2070, however due to console optimization and other custom development tools id say these 9th gen consoles especially the XSX are producing result's that look similar to what my 3070 produces, and even then I have to really tinker with settings to get that 3070 to run the latest titles as solidly as these consoles generally do ( there are of course the odd exceptions)
It's a good console it's about equal to a 3070 series x GPU has high cuda cores and super fast memory speed
Quick resume is still the best feature of the entire next-gen
No it's not it's the only reason you dumb exbox owners can think of
Yeah because so many people play 6 games at once LOL. No.
I’m in the same boat as the director. I have a decent gaming pc but I find most of the time when I get home after working on computers all day, the last thing I feel like doing is sitting down in front of my gaming pc.
It’s so much nicer imo to sit in my recliner where I’ve got a 65 inch screen and a sound bar with sub hooked up.
As far as Xbox vs PlayStation, what did it for me this generation was basically in 2020 I was actually able to get an Xbox series s when all of the next generation consoles were being scalped.
I did end up later upgrading to the Xbox series x from the series s, however in retrospect while I like my series x, not totally sure upgrading is worth it if you have a series s already. That said I could see myself picking up a ps5 later this year, especially now that the digital edition can be found for 400.
The new Xbox gonna be all digital no disk drive version this were I get of the train 🚂
What monitors do you game on?
I’m going into iOS/Mac/Apple, Nintendo Switch, and PC and Xbox series X gaming. If that won’t provide a decent selection of games for me and a decent selection of games gamers like. Well, I’m going to cry!!! 😩😩😩
I’m mainly a PC gamer but I play on Xbox for Apex Legends. I feel it’s way faster to get into the next round because PS4/5 and Xbox 1/S/X share the same lobbies.
I've never played a X-box. I've only done PC (back in the day) and PlayStation. I only got into PlayStation because when I finally decided to go console I made a trip to Best Buy. As fate had it, Best Buy was out of Xbox console and luckily they had one PS3. I love my PS5, but the resume feature on the Xbox makes me envious. I want Xbox to succeed as competition is always a good thing. Excellent review.
First time watching any of your videos . I like the information and your delivery. The only thing that took me by surprise was that “f” word in the beginning of the video , luckily my toddler had just walked to the other room and didn’t hear it (they pick up everything) specially bad words. Anyway, I hope you don’t take my comment in a bad way. I really appreciate the time you took to make this video which helped me make a decision in picking up an Xbox . Thank you .
I play my PlayStation more because of the games they offer. But the Xbox is overall a better living room experience
As someone who has never owned a console, I was thinking of getting an Xbox S/X as it's not only more affordable and just as potent as a PS5 but also because it's very space efficient. But then I started hearing about all these Xbox rumors
I have never owner an Xbox before. Im making the jump this Holiday after doing research and finding out about the All digital Series X because if this is going to be my Digital console why would i sacrifice those shiny Series X graphics for the Series S when an All Digital Series X is coming out during the Holidays?
Thanks for this
@0:23 lol beat off 3 people at once 😂😂😂
There it is 😂
It's so refreshing to see comments being positive about xbox there has been so much going around I started with xbox 360 as a kid now with series x I've had no issues with it it dose what I want it to play the games I love its not that deep
It’s kinda sad my reasons for moving away from Sony. I went back to PC gaming and finally got an X-box controller. Now I am use to the of set sticks I love it. Not being rechargeable was a big shock as I didn’t know before buying it. I soon got over that fact as there are third party batteries. Plus when that dies you can race for any AAs while waiting for eBay to deliver the replacement. Your are not up controller replacement cost. So if I ever want both worlds it would make sense to get a Xbox and be accustomed to one controller style for both.
I have the XBOX for around 3 years already and I love it.
What I like the most is quick resume and the possibility to buy games much cheaper than for a PS5.
I got the PS5 few weeks ago, but only for Demon Souls, Bloodborne and Nioh. Other exclusives are not that interesting to me...well maybe Rise of the Ronin if they don't f it up.
I can't take you seriously when you praise the UI, it's not customizable much in fact they've made it less so, Microsoft locks in ad driven stuff on your home screen, and will lock you out of accessing any online ability if you don't want to update. It's unfortunate this stuff isn't called out more.
I tried pc gaming for a year, years ago and hated it. I never liked keyboard and mouse, it takes ages for my pc to start up, it updates every time it is switched on and is so slow. I never had any issues with my xbox series x. I have been gaming for 40 years. I prefer console gaming.
I’m a PlayStation guy always have been. Have had my PS5 since launch. But I’ve always been a fan of Xbox as well. The 360 is one of my fav consoles of all time. Then the One came out and I wasn’t really feeling that console. My One ended up just collecting dust while I was on my PS4 most of the time. I finally went ahead and just picked me up a Series X and right now I’m playing Halo Infinite and Starfield and man I’m having a blast so far. Feels good to be able to take a break from my PS5 for a bit and enjoy some Xbox games I’ve been wanting to play here for a while.
