I'm a playstation guy, I see no reason to get an Xbox because I have a decent PC

and game pass is on PC

I got a pc, I just want to play games in my living room.

ye, for me that's what playstation and switch are for

but I'm thinking of getting either a ps5 or an xbox and I don't know which one I want

that said, I'm still cheap as shit about it

I got a PS4 Pro the month before the rona went mainstream and paid $300, brand new

Nice

and I'm planning on selling it on some sort of trade-in deal to get the PS5 for hopefully $200 if not less

what do you like about the ps5

for me a big thing is the UI

while the PS4 UI isn't as GOAT as the PS3's XMB was

it's still way better than the Xbox UI in my opinion

of course the Xbox UI suffers from feeling like it belongs on a tablet or phone, and just to take some cues from the tablets and phones it's trying to be, it hides some of the settings that can literally make or break the console's functionality in menus that have nothing to do with said settings

lol epic

the Xbox UI takes everything I hate about Windows

and makes it worse

is it the same on the new console?

I'm sure there'll be some updates, but other than the original Xbox 360 UI, I have hated every single interface MS has made for consoles

they're not intuitive and they're way too full of advertising

I turn my PS4 on and I see it waiting to open the last game I was playing

I turn on my nephew's Xbox One and I see at least 2 ads

are there games you're excited about. I like the xbox is backwards compat all the way to the old xbox

I wish the ps5 had that

FF7 Remake will most assuredly end up on PS5 and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if they gave owners of the first part on PS4 a free upgraded version since that's the hot new trend

PS5 I know is supposedly mostly compatible with PS4, but further back is a problem

in theory, the PS5 now has enough power that they could write a functional PS3 emulator, they did the same with a PS2 emulator for PS3 in the past

it's just a matter of if they feel like it

shame

but generally speaking Sony seems to take the approach of "Bruh just emulate it. We're not going to stop you. They literally used leaked PSP design docs to code PPSSPP and we *do not care*."

oh I know, I have a psvita

with Xbox I just don't see the appeal of backwards compatibility

I wanna play original xbox games

and 360 games

see I was never into original xbox

or 360 really

I like old games alot

like I've looked at the libraries and there's just nothing there I'm interested in that I can't get on PC

like for the longest time it was Halo

but now I have MCC

I mean you can emulate everything sure
