    I bought the Sony PS5 a few days ago, it was all down to the games. Microsoft Xbox was good from day one, but today they have nothing. I walked into a Games retail shop and noticed the Xbox Series X section was empty with loads of Xbox gift cards and no physical games. PS5 section was loaded with physical games and the console was instock, I put the money down and walked out with a PS5 and five games. I hope Xbox knows that they just lost a life long customer.

      That's fair, and yeah for most people the two most important things are the games, and what console their friends play on, in particularly if you commonly play games without cross-platform support for the multiplayer. And yeah, the PS5 has had some great games release so far, and has some great upcoming releases, but Xbox Game Pass is a hard to pass deal. So I'd say it mostly depends on what's important within a gaming console for each person, as to which one they should buy. Any enjoy your new console, and all of the games you picked up too 👍

      Honestly, Redfall was the accumulation of failure and the last straw for me. I was a “Xbot” fanboy for years after going PS2>Xbox360>Xbone>SeriesX. The thing that I always used as an excuse was my extensive game library and the fact I had a massive achievement score to improve on (Half a million GS)
      But I finally had enough of no first party games and the temptation to try the PlayStation was too much. It also coincided with me having some spare cash and my friend group being split 50/50 between the two consoles so I bought a PS5 3 days ago and I’ve been in love with it. Sure I much prefer the smaller things like being able to switch batteries on my controllers and having them last a week between charges vs less than a full day on PS but overall the controller is WAY more advanced, feels more comfortable, the UI is MUCH better, shockingly the PS premium has a more tempting library of games and also I’m so excited to try games like God Of war, Days gone, Last of us, Horizon etc. I guess sometimes you can get too caught up in the tribal nature of it all and the “Us vs Them” mentality but I now own both main consoles, and honestly I only see myself returning to Xbox every now and then to improve my gamerscore a little each month. Damn now I’m an Xbot and Sony Pony, Im a PC fanboys wet dream.

      That's fair, and that's an impressive gamer score. And like you said, it's great when you can just enjoy games for what they are, and not worry about what console they're on, because whether they're on the Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC, Mobile, etc at the end of the day, they're all games released for people interested with gaming to enjoy. And if you're new to PlayStation, those games you mentioned are definitely some great choices. I would also recommend the PS4 Marvel's Spider-Man game, as it's a great game and it's really fun to web swing around the city. Enjoy your new console and all of the great games on the platform 👍

    As someone who has pc and Xbox series x, I found it hard to really have a reason to play my Xbox. Most of the big titles on game pass are ones I already bought on pc during those crazy 50-90% off deals. PlayStation has a good amount of exclusive titles that are still not released on pc so I picked one up and have been loving it ever since. It’s wild what I missed out on by not getting a ps4

    • @theprogammar
      @theprogammar  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, if you have a good gaming PC, since you can get most of the exclusives on Steam and have access to PC Game Pass, there’s not as much of a reason to buy an Xbox Series X/S as well, compared to owning both a good gaming PC and a PS5.

    When it comes down to it, it really is based on personal preference. I’ve been rocking with Xbox since the original and haven’t looked back. Last PlayStation I had was PS2. Xbox is definitely not perfect but I like Xbox because it focused on multiple forms of media and still delivers great games and Xbox live. PlayStation definitely has more exclusives but their online service is second rate compared to Microsoft and it’s not touching Game pass. Although I think I’m going to buy a ps4 just to play exclusives like Spider-Man and God of war to see what all the fuss is about lbs

  • @CarolinaSportz

    I'm the opposite. I got the PS5 over the XSX and I regret it. While the PS5 has more exclusives, its not by much (12 exclusives?). And the ONLY exclusive I care about is Spider-Man 2. Nah, I'll get the XSX for new games AND backwards compatibility. Thanks for the vid, tho.

    So at the end of the day your advice is to watch another one of your videos to find out why you shouldn't buy a PS5...!
    I don't know if you've checked a calendar recently mate but it is currently the year 2023, the PS4 is 10 years old this November, and you still don't recommend moving on to a current generation machine??
    I politely and completely, disagree.

    • @theprogammar
      @theprogammar  Рік тому

      The video was more so for people who haven’t already bought a PS5, and that after almost 3 years if you don’t already own one, it might be worth waiting a bit longer to see what the mid-generation console upgrades have to offer before making the expensive decision to buy a console.
      And sticking with the PS4 for now definitely isn’t the option for everyone, but with mid-generation re-designs likely just around the corner, it’s an option worth considering when most new games still release on PS4 consoles, the expensive price jump to PS5 consoles and with the potential for even better hardware releasing in the near future that may better fit what you want out of a gaming console

    • @GAF516

      @@theprogammar "The mid-generation re-designs likely just around the corner" you say? Where did you get that information from? All I heard was a RUMOUR for a new 'Pro' PS5 in holiday 2024. Nothing confirmed by Sony.
      I think you'll find that most upcoming 1st party titles are PS5 ONLY starting with Spider-Man 2 in September 2023. Before that, Final Fantasy XVI releases (literally next month in June!) and is a PS5 exclusive - no PS4 version. You think your audience should take your advice and wait for possibly another 18 months to play these major releases??!!
      I certainly don't, and I doubt many others will either, especially after tomorrow's showcase for PS5 and PSVR2.
      You can't just wait forever mate, when the PS5 'Pro' releases you could say PS6 is just around the corner!! Then PS6 Pro etc. etc. 🤦‍♂️

    • @theprogammar
      @theprogammar  Рік тому

      No I don’t think people should necessarily do what I’m saying, but consider what’s important to them in a gaming console, and consider whether there’s any link between why I decided to switch to Xbox and why they either should/shouldn’t depending on what’s important to them. Some people may say Xbox is better because of Xbox Game Pass, some people may say PlayStation is better because of the exclusives, it just depends on what you consider most important
      And yeah, we’re just starting to see PS5 only exclusives become more common which makes the case for buying a PS5 much stronger, but we’re only just starting to enter that phase of the console life cycle now, so I’d say it’s still depending on what you prioritise, it’s still fine to wait a bit longer
      And yeah, you can’t just wait forever, but if you wait until later in a generation, some of the early releases are much cheaper, you’ve got a big back catalogue of great games to play when you buy it and won’t have to wait for new releases to have good games to play, and the extra power/features may make your gaming experience that bit more enjoyable such as super sampling on the PS4 Pro, and some of these things are worth it to wait for for some people, and for others they’re not which is fine too
      And yeah, you’ve got to take the mid-generation console re-design rumours with a pinch of salt, but with reports that the dev kits are already in developers hands, even if you wait another year for it, for some people having already waited almost 3 years, it might be worth it to wait 1 more to get a better console with more features that makes for a better gaming experience, and for others it’s not as they’d prefer to buy it now which is fine to, but it’s definitely something to consider when making such an expensive purchase

    • @GAF516
      @GAF516 Рік тому

      Forget everything I said, PS5 just had an awful 'showcase' l. If I didn't already have a PS5 I wouldn't buy one after this. Higher fidelity and performance can only carry so far, it's cool, but without the games built to really take advantage of the new tech maybe spending money on this new tech isn't warranted.

      Yeah there are definitely benefits to getting a PS5 over a PS4 especially when it comes to graphics and load times, but if the cost is a more important factor to you than sticking with the PS4 for a little bit longer could still be a good solution, but it’s been great to see PS5 bundles going on sale, and being readily available for purchase much more frequently in the last few months

    I doubt u would have changed to PS now if u would have stick with xbox through last generation. Xbox is rising now high and has much more interesting future plans than PS.
    Also those of us who has big libraries of xbox, xbox360, xbox one and series x games has 0 reason to change platform. Since Series X is and all xbox consoles including Xbox One have been backward compatible so there Is no way anyone with right mind would change to PS and throw away their many generations of collected games...which might Include both physical and digital games.
    Also with xbox people does not become bankrubted for each time they want to play day one new released games since most of them comes to gamepass. Also single player movie game exclusives which PS only provides are not everyone's Cup of tea. So, no... not everyone agree that PS has better games.

    • @theprogammar
      @theprogammar  Рік тому +1

      I haven’t upgraded to next-gen consoles yet, but I’m currently leaning towards the PS5 due to the AMAZING exclusive titles on the platform. They’re not for everyone, but that’s where it comes down to what types of games you play and what your looking for within a gaming console, which can vary from person to person which affects which console appears better to them, and there are definitely pros and cons for both the PS5 and XSX.
      Xbox has some promising things in the future and I’m looking forward to seeing them once they’re released. And nice, I have a pretty big library of Xbox Classic and Xbox 360 games too, but I also still own both of those original consoles so backwards compatibility isn’t as important to me, but I can understand it’s more important for some people. And I hope you enjoyed the video, and have a good day

      @@theprogammar yeah, thats why there Is options and competition is good because people have difference preferences. But that fact also made me response to your comment of "everyone thinks PS has better exclusives" .
      Its not true, because many Halo or Forza or Fable (few to mention) fans are much more excited about if new game In those serieses are showing up than if spiderman is.
      And like I said, there Is more factor for choosing the console than just exlusives since majority of time we play same games (non exclusives) with each console, but my xbox discs or collected library does not work In PS, neither PS Players buyed games does not work In xbox. That alone is the factor why someone chooses certain brand. And newer generation consoles runs better even the older games and download times are faster so on. So not everyone wants to return to the slower xbox360 console for example to play their older games.
      I personally think xbox is more gamer friendly because everything is bit more cheaper and more available (I never would pay 80 € for new game) but over all I agree there Is pros and cons for each platform. But people choose whats more convinyent to them not which one might have one or two better games. For both consoles there Is anyways more games to play one has time to even play.
