I am an experienced gamer, I am not a fan of one system: there were PS1, X360, PC, PS4. Chose between PS5 and XSX. I'll tell you my criteria and why I chose XBOX in the end
1. design - I understand that this is a taste, but I do not like the white color and design of the PS5. Yes, it attracts attention, but it does not fit into the interior of an ordinary apartment. Box design is beauty in simplicity, strict and concise.
2. power - if the processors of both set-top boxes are approximately the same, then the Box chip supports RDNA 2.0, while PS5 has only 1.4. This means that the PS5 does not and will not have full-fledged ray tracing.
3. amount of memory - Box for 1TB, free 830GB, PS5 for 825TB, free 620GB, i. E. that's +2 full AAA games. Plus, you can buy a 1TB flash drive from Box (even if it’s not cheap), which is simply inserted from the back without parsing the console.
4. regional prices - I bought an ultimate subscription for 15 months for 2450. Cyberpunk - for 2700. All this on your personal account, no P1\P2\P3, as it was on PS4.
5. gamepass - for the above money, a top offer, there is a trilogy of Mass Effect, Dragon Age, all Remedy games, recently added Doom Eternal, there are all network shooters DayZ, PUBG, R6 Siege, CoD. A lot of good games that I was sorry to buy for 2-4 tons on PS4, but I wanted to play. Games are replenished frequently, every couple of weeks with several new games.
6. backwards compatibility - bought TES3 Morrowind for 200. The game is from 2022 and plays great.
7. fast downloads - starting from the system itself. When the PS4 was turned on, it was possible to have time to go to the kitchen for tea, but then I didn’t have time to turn on the TV, as the prefix was already in the menu. The same thing in games - the speed of loading levels has increased significantly (due to ssd), plus if the game hangs in memory, you can instantly continue playing - this is very convenient.
8. social component - each game has its own page like a social network, where news, ates, photos / videos from the community, etc. are published. Plus, it’s convenient to search for teammates in the game right in the Boxing interface.
