Sony launches expensive console:

"of course I can afford it playboi" :birdman:

Microsoft launches expensive console:

"b-b-but what about the soccer moms" :damn:

no next-gen exclusives for new Sony console:

"Sony has never abandoned their previous consoles like 'others' ":francis:

no next-gen exclusives for new Microsoft console:

"games will be held back if they're made with support for older consoles" :francis:

Extree extree read all about it, weaker ps5 cost same as series x :merchant:

Now watch as I tell the truth to the uncouth...
Fact is that Sony eventually caught up with Microsoft and passed it. The fact that it even happened despite the huge advantages Microsoft had earlier shows the limitations of the Xbox.
Fact, Sony never caught up but lied about it and its fanboys refuse to believe it even if you can prove it...

Sony hides PlayStation 3 sales data as profits fall
Gamepass hasn’t really done much for Xbox one sales this gen considering the poor sales of the console and even if let’s say next gen, it does become popular
Oh so it's not popular now :usure:

You sound well informed sir...
what’s stopping Sony from adopting its own version? Then it’s back to square one for Microsoft.
You'd think it would be that easy...

Being Day Console Beta Tester was such a scam this gen. Atleast next gen will be backward compatible out of the box. The only good thing that happen last gen was going with the PC in a box design method and streamlining shyt to the point where not providing BC is no longer an excuse.

Fair price considering the PS1 price point when it dropped and would probably be more now if adjusted for inflation:manny:

670 after tax + one 90 dollar game + 80 dollar online services + an extra 100 dollar controller in case you're not allowed to use your PS4 controller.

940 bucks for next gen. :wow: whew, the scalping market for this shyt gonna be fire.

PS3 sales didn't pass 360 sales until late in the gen. They allowed Microsoft to get more of a foothold early on because 360s were much cheaper, and Xbox Live even as a paid service was miles ahead of PSN for online multiplayer. Combine that with the fact that PS exclusives weren't popping at the beginning of the gen.

I don't think a lot of people are saying Xbox will win next gen because of price point. Sony caught up with their online experience and has blown Xbox out of the water with exclusives. Gamepass is what will keep Xbox competitive I think. Trying out a few games without purchasing for full price is appealing. If Halo Infinite is good and their new studios develop better games they'll challenge Sony.
PS3 outsold the 360 every month world wide from the time it released despite being $200 more expensive.

refuse to believe even if you live alone any console owner would only have 1 controller.
I can understand when one controller gets worn out or broken, if there's some kind of 'elite' controller option, or if someone really wants a certain color controller or whatever. but I don't see how any of that should be factored into the cost of a new console. you really don't need a second controller
