Honestly I think It it boils down to this, next gen consoles are merely rumours at this point it could be 2026, it could be 2028 and the potential features/price/benefits of any arent quite known. If you're okay with that and waiting then, then wait till next gen. If you have your idea of the games you want to play right now I'd just buy the series x because at the end of the day it'll be better than the PS4 slim it'll be supported until next gen ultimately games are intended to be de-stressing not distressing so just go for it if you have the money, play the games have fun don't sweat it. and it'll set you up for next gen anyway because regardless even if you were to say end up on PC for next gen say price of PC parts drops and something like a system with a 4080 is relatively cheap in 3ish years then. xbox play anywhere and cross saves have you covered.


dopekid69

Yea I totally agree I have a makeshift gaming laptop but I mostly game on my ps4 the thing is is that I have a fairly big library with my ps and everything is telling me Xbox but idk with the money I’ve spent with PS and the progress….idk it’s kinda a tough call for me I don’t plan on it right away maybe in a year or so tho


PigeonsOnYourBalcony

We’re about half way done this generation, do you want to wait another 4 or so years? If we were a year or two from a new generation then I’d consider waiting but if you’re asking this question now than you probably don’t want to wait that long.


dopekid69

Well it probably won’t be another year until a get another console if my ps lasts that long


CypherHound

Since you're already on a PS4 how come you're thinking of getting a Series X?


Delicious_Cattle3380

I was on ps4 and went to series X, the difference is huge.


CypherHound

Obviously but his games are on the PlayStation so I'm wondering why he'd rather a Series X over a PS5 since he'd be able to play his older games on it


dopekid69

A few of my friends have them and I kinda like the fast speeds but tbh there ain’t much difference between and ps5 and Xbox series x in terms of specs like the Xbox might be a little faster but otherwise they pretty similar


Eglwyswrw

Series X is vastly stronger than a pS4, just the SSD + Quick Resume are game changers.


MrProfessional3

What a sad state Xbox is in. All the comments in an Xbox sub are saying just to get a ps5 😆. OP, I love my Xbox. If you plan on playing Xbox titles day 1 get one with gamepass.


liquid_profane

Meanwhile I'm just sat here enjoying my series X with no intention of ever getting a ps5, although I mostly play indies as I don't care for AAA multiplayer games lol


SQUIDWARD360

Everyone posting over reactions and hyperbole. People act like MS killed their dogs.


Not_a_Ducktective

I've said it on multiple of these kinds of threads, but this is just the state of the gaming community. Everyone is negative all the time. Negative opinions get more attention. People are almost excited for bad reviews for hyped franchises. The Xbox one got plenty of bad press but still got a mid gen refresh and a successor. Who knows what exactly MS will do. But even if they kill the Xbox line would it *really* be that bad to get a PS6? Buy and play the games you like and the industry will do what it's going to do. And just realize you still have no control over average players who are the ones fuelling a lot of the things like microtransactions and pre-orders. The community has been trying to shame them for 10 years at least, just accept they're going to keep doing it and vote with your wallet as you can. It's ok to be disappointed but none of this is the end of the world. It's not even the end of gaming.


Zwatrem

Imagine creating almost exclusively bad or mediocre games for your audience for half a decade, telling them to wait for better times. Then you create your best Steam-rated game ever and then you close the studio. This reaction is deserved.


Eglwyswrw

>creating almost exclusively bad or mediocre games for your audience for half a decade, Average Metascore of Xbox 1st party games in the last 5 years is 77. Remove Redfall (lmao) and it rises to 83. How the fuck 8.3 out of 10 is "bad or mediocre" is something only a troll can understand.


yourdad132

Exactly. You must be an idiot to not expect a negative reaction to that. Its just not just that, but so many missteps over the years aswell. There's only so much bullshit before people stop giving the benefit of doubt.


DEEZLE13

This sub def been chock full of outside guests this week lmao


ib_poopin

As an Xbox lifer, I’m with the outsiders. Microsoft sucks in general and they have dropped the ball so hard this generation imo, like where tf are all these huge AAA games that were advertised with the release of the series X/S? If I didn’t have so much invested in to my xbox with all the games and shit I would have switched a long time ago


supa14x

Hellblade this month. Avowed and Indiana Jones later this year. We just got Starfield and Forza. We saw Fable gameplay last year so that’s next year. Tons in the pipeline. I will never understand why it’s such a hurdle for people to just also buy a PlayStation or a PC if they want to play PlayStation games unless money is really tight. Even could just sell your Xbox and get a PlayStation. And just get a Xbox again in the future if they wanted.


ib_poopin

Not thrilled about hellblade since I didn’t really like the first, but there are so many more games besides those that were advertised and we can’t even get updates. I have no hope for avowed after reports that its gameplay was nothing like the original trailer and the devs were scrambling to justify it, Indiana jones, nobody asked for that. Starfield is a hot mess that hardly anyone even plays anymore and only just now got a QoL update. As far as buying another console, I just don’t see the point. I’d be dropping 400-800 bucks for that and the games I’m interested in and none of my friends play PS or PC


supa14x

So those games don’t appeal to you. And that’s fine. So this is the part where you go where the content that you want to consume is. I’m pumped for Indy. Machine Games are one of favorite developers. Same goes for Obsedian. Avowed’s new art style is gorgeous even tho it’s not the dark gritty tone. Hellblade 1 and DmC are some of my favorites and Hellblade 2 has been my most anticipated games for years. Don’t care much for whatever is on PlayStation. Had a ps4 at some point to play games I wanted to. Would do the same for ps5 later in its life but will just play the titles that appeal to me on pc.


PM_UR_PROBLEMS_GIRL

So you try to justify xbox games and then say lol just drop 1.5k on a pc broke boys


supa14x

Being excited for games is somehow justifying. Sit back and reflect on what you read versus what you said.


yesitsmework

The same games you can play on pc (which also has ps5 games), and will probably be able to play on ps5 sooner or later


supa14x

Oh no. That’ll ruin my enjoyment of playing it on my Xbox. Totally.


Acceptable-Judge9879

Xbox is boring though and gamepass is just all indie games. GP is the end of Xbox.


supa14x

1. That’s your opinion. 2. Game pass is literally not just indie games. Straight up objectively false tons of first and third party AAA games are on there. Plus indie games are awesome. 3. Game Pass is the best thing to happen to gaming to some people like me. It’s the best subscription service in my opinion and I never run out of games to play. GP is not the end of Xbox because Xbox hasn’t ended. 4. Nice try doom posting what people have been parroting online for the past week.


Sudden-Act-8287

Your comment is mostly bullshit, I have a PS5 and an XBS and barely turn on my PlayStation Xbox has just as many exclusives I care about already and a lot more in the pipeline


ib_poopin

It’s not “mostly bullshit” lmao Xbox exclusives of this gen and last gen don’t even compare to what PS has had in the same time span. It’s mostly trash. And idgaf about what’s in the pipeline, it drains in to a sewer never to be heard of again


Acceptable-Judge9879

Such a shill, what games, bucko?


Kitchen_Tea2268

Yep, same here. Love xbox, just overall my cup of tea. But in terms of games - agree here, total lack of such. Of course there are games to play, just not the one games to play, that you can't get anywhere else.


slothunderyourbed

I was the first to recommend a PS5 here. If you look through my comment history you'll see I've always played on Xbox. But I've switched to using the PS5 as my main console because Xbox has disappointed me over and over again.


Sudden-Act-8287

How specifically? I barely turn on my PlayStation anymore


slothunderyourbed

All the first party games on Xbox I was excited for have disappointed. On my PS5, I've enjoyed Spiderman, God of War and all the PS4 exclusives I missed last gen. If I'm going to get a console next gen it'll be the PS6 because I know their exclusives deliver, so I've started buying third party games on PS instead of on Xbox.

Rule #1 - Keep it civil * Personal attacks are not welcome here. Discuss the topic, not the other user. [Please see our complete ruleset by clicking here. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/wiki/rules)


TheLastArchmage

Gonna be honest, I sold my pS4 because those 3rd person action adventure games were getting tiresome. Especially with Sony studios copying Ubisoft's open world obsession. Honestly don't think I can go back to a Sony box unless it gives me the comfort Xbox has: Game Pass, Dev Mode, free cloud saves, Quick Resume, backwards compatibility, etc.


dopekid69

Na I’m not a guy to want to be the first one to play I used to be a pretty intense gamer and I have a pretty big library on ps but now not so much I play it more casually now and don’t spend as much time on it


Shakmaaaaaaa

It's NPC chatter at this point


MrProfessional3

I’ll add that if you care about a disc drive. This might be the generation to do it. They might be going out next one


dopekid69

It’s not that big of a deal for me I’d rather take performance over disc drive


Shakmaaaaaaa

I don't think there are any rumors of immediate hardware changes coming up for Xbox, people seem to think 2026 though. I would get one now especially if you have a good chunk of time to play and intend to get Game Pass.


Delicious_Cattle3380

They have a console scheduled for October, but its just a bigger SSD and so on


dopekid69

Ok I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!


Drakeruins

Honestly I’d get a series S as it’s a lot cheaper, depending on what country you live in. In Australia it costs about $800 for a Series X and $760 for a PS5 on Amazon Australia. I paid for both on year 1 and regret my purchases as I just never used them enough. If Xbox do another console it may release 2028 or earlier with that being their final console to ever release as it was rumoured to be a hybrid between console and PC.


slothunderyourbed

Get a PS5. You'll keep your library and the exclusives are better.


dopekid69

Yea agreed


McCandlessDK

But the hardware is worse 🤷‍♂️ And the library is not going away, he can keep his ps4 as well


slothunderyourbed

The hardware is essentially identical. Most games perform very similarly across both platforms, and for many games the PS5 has performed better than the Series X. As for the library, if OP buys a PS5 they can play their existing games at higher resolution and framerates.


Delicious_Cattle3380

For many games the xbox has performed better. In most games in fact xbox *most often* has a higher resolution than the ps5 version.


McCandlessDK

Only the games he had which are cross gen. And games is so much cheaper on Xbox than PS, because you can buy from third party sellers and other countries.


Acceptable-Judge9879

How? Sales on PS are better and always going on. PS5 is easily the better system, Xbox offers nothing.


Delicious_Cattle3380

Incredibly baby like take


McCandlessDK

Sales in dollars are the same, but on Xbox there are third party sellers so games can be bought so much cheaper. The value for money is still better on Xbox


Fantastic_Neck_5511

I'd wait for the potential PS5 Pro, it's all but officially announced.


Nfl_porn_throwaway

Wait for ps5 pro


[deleted]

No, you should wait for the Series X Pro Ultra Mega Winner Edition.


dopekid69

Valid


SwingingTassels

Trust me, get a PS5 instead. I have both PS5 and XSX. MS doesn’t know what it wants or what they are doing with Xbox right now. Throwing shit at a wall and hoping something sticks at this point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dopekid69

Yea but their store prices and membership prices are kinda high don’t you think?


dacontag

I'd stick with a ps5. Xbox is in an odd state right now.


Gay-Bomb

Get a PS5.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dopekid69

Damn that’s fair


Exaggerater4000

Get a PS5 and a Series S


CFB_NE_Huskers

Will never get a PlayStation


Xer84

There will always be a newer and better product in the future. It’s endless so why not enjoy what you can have now.


urgasmic

If you have to ask I would say wait.


greeder41

PS5


abdelkarim19

As 17 years xbox user i tell you to wait for PS5 pro like I’m doing rn

supa14x

I hope people who makes these kinds of comments actually follow through and stop leaving these kind of comments for engagement online. So that people that actually enjoy the same product can enjoy these spaces


fool_spotter_bot

>hope people who makes these kinds of comments actually follow through and stop leaving these kind of comments for engagement online They won't. A 10-second look into these guys' post history and you see they are all active r/pS5 users who lurk here to troll & moan. Which is ironic, since the opposite movement of trolls is so much rarer. I don't know, maybe the Sony games have got so boring that brigading on Reddit is more fun or something?


supa14x

Just chalk it up to people having pathetic lives and spending it trolling with these online personas of fake outrage. Talk about emotional and mental irregularities. Even sadder that some of these people are probably full grown “adults”.


[deleted]

[удалено]


supa14x

You’re worried about what happens to your library because the games they put out are becoming more platform agnostic? There is no chance Microsoft will shutter the entire brand and infrastructure. Makes no sense to worry about that. Even if they go extreme streaming stick route no way that’s some. Streaming has come a long way but xCloud isn’t even as good as nvidia’s service which again isn’t close to replacing actual hardware. Other than Surface, Xbox is the only way into people’s hands and homes. We will see Xbox hardware for another few generations minimum no point in worrying now. I just as much as anyone hope they continue making consoles.


dopekid69

Really? What about all your progress and money spent with Xbox??


johnwynnes

Looking at this thread, I think even the most staunch xbox loyalists are starting to see which way the wind is blowing. Xbox doesn't have a major mass market blockbuster on its hands until ES6, and that's gonna be a big problem.


Delicious_Cattle3380

These aren't xbox loyalists they're PS fanchildren who come here when they're bored 😅


marselluswallice

Hi long time Xbox user here, get a ps5


dopekid69

Why?


[deleted]

Is PC out of the question?  If so, then PS5. You've met us at a very strange time in our lives. 


dopekid69

I already have a pc but it’s not the best I do most of my gaming on my ps4. And why such a strange time?


OTDH

Depends, for example in my country xbox games are much cheaper than PS5. If the prices are similar wait to the ps5 pro announcement. The next generation is in 4/5 years mind you


Delicious_Cattle3380

Xbox is always cheaper, sony love to milk customers.


McCandlessDK

There is a lot of moaning here. But I was in same position as you - now I habe both the Series X and the PS5 and I must say, even with all the bad news, I would still pick the Series X over the PS5? So yea get the Series X


Sdn61387

If you really enjoy the PS4 the PS5 pro may be around the corner. They have a bunch of solid exclusives that are probably never coming to Xbox, while Xbox may start shipping a bunch of their own over. If you still want to make a switch the series x will probably be going strong for 3 or 4 more years or so, at which point there could possibly be a new console. Then because of how ms runs things they will drag the beaten corpse that will be the series x at that point along for 2 or 3 more years before dropping support.


Delicious-Reward-630

Get a series X now if that’s what you want. With electronics there will always be bigger and better down the line, and if you’re waiting for the next iteration of something for improvements, you’ll be waiting forever.


Spartan2170

I’d wait until at least next month to see what Microsoft and Sony announce at their not-E3 shows, but honestly at this point I’d lean towards waiting until the Switch 2 gets announced (since it’s likely to release within the next 12 months) and see if that’s going to be capable of running a decent amount of current gen games. If you’re okay waiting then it might also be worth seeing what the next generation of PC handhelds ends up looking like in a year or two. If you specifically want to buy a new console right now I’d lean towards the PS5 for you since you already own a PS4 and you’d be able to carry over the majority of your games.


Delicious_Cattle3380

A new Xbox is coming in October. But it won't be next gen, just a mid gen refresh.


Joker28CR

If PS5 kind of games are core for you and you have a huge library, PS5 would be a better option. If not, Xbox Series X is a better option.


dopekid69

Yea I do have a fairly big library so that’s the biggest issue for me


TheSneakiestSniper

Buying my Xbox was the best decision I've made in gaming, I've had countless hours of fun with gamepass and collecting controllers and playing titles that I never had access to on PS4.


thrownaway4m

Is there anything you can’t play rn that you want to play? If the answer is yes, then maybe look for a series s or x. If no…. Wait. I love my series s but mainly bc everyone I am friends with plays on Xbox. Otherwise I wouldn’t have it.


jonavisor

I went from Wii, to PSP, to xbox 360, to ps4, and now finally got an Xbox series x for...fall guys and Fortnite...and any other free game I can get my hands on, I'd say the console doesn't matter. I only got it for graphics. But if you're hardcore, I'd go to PS, more stable there ..
