My income is slowwwwly stabilizing after my horrid 2023. So I have an important question.

Do I save up for an Xbox Series X or a PS5? I'm interested in playing something with more hi res graphics than Assassin's Creed II on my lil Switch.

Aside from being super intrigued by Elden Ring and newer AC games, I don't have any very specific game series in mind.

@anderscreative I hate the PS5, because Sony is severely lacking in terms of services for players. But they have more exclusive games. Xbox is great for backwards compatibility and GamePass, but it lacks a lot more in terms of exclusive IPs. I'd even say it's pretty horrid on that front.

@FlorianBodin Thank you for sharing! Any specific services you’re thinking of that are lacking from PS5?

@anderscreative And on the technical side, I think the PS5 is not great. Too big (even with a slim design), the controller is too pricey and full of gimmicks, and the battery life on it is the worst I've seen on any controller. You can't even change it or replace it.

@FlorianBodin This is very helpful, thank you! I think that backwards compatibility is indeed quite valuable to me, I’m catching up on years of games I want to play so perhaps the Xbox would serve me well. Appreciate the input!
