I chose the Xbox S after trying the PS5 & I couldn’t be happier. The game pass alone is well worth buying the X or S series. I don’t own any 4K TV’s so I didn’t see the point in buying the X series or a PS5. The S series Xbox fits all my gaming needs & at $299 this was a no brainer.
I want to get the Series X, even though I dont have a 4k TV. I would probably upgrade my TV for 4k 120 FPS, but Xbox series X for the insane power it delivers. Although, the Xbox series S Delivers insane value like the Xbox one S.
My honest opinion without anyone ask: You don't need a 4K TV to feel the difference between Series S and PS5/Series X, the games on the more powerfull machines have better graphics settings like improved shadows, Ray tracing, draw distance, texturas, LoD, more games supporting 120fps and even 60fps, etc... 4K60Hz TVs are dirt cheap these days, don't understand how people buy new consoles and keep playing on old TVs.
You bought an Xbox series s without a 4k tv lol might as well just bought the original Xbox one lol what resolution are you playing in 1080p 30 frames lol
@@fernandofonseca2033 As someone who had the SS and now has a SX and PS5 you can see and tell the difference in performance and visuals. My one X even looked better than most of the games on the SS but the SS loads games much faster and you got better framerate on most games.
The pricw thw gamepass.. series S is a must buy.. best choice for gaming and for money,. It perform great.. that shoft grapichs are solid to my eye.. and im a ps fan boy.
I went from a PS4 to Xbox Series S this year. I like playing games. I had a PS+ subscription as well. But I ended up buying a lot of games which I didn't even played. Also the quality of games on PS+ was not good for me. On Xbox, I subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate. Now I can play so many games and new games are being added all the time. Also I can play previous generation games on Xbox which I couldn't do on PlayStation. Except loosing out on Sony exclusives, I'm not missing PlayStation that much. Also the prices of PS5 exclusive games are too high and Sony confirmed that that will be the case in future as well. And I can play Xbox exclusives with Gamepass. So I'm happy I chose Xbox this time. 🙂
I dont want to chose. There for i will get the xbox s for halo and fable. And i will get the expensive ps5 when i find one thats market price. But i got my series s, and i like it. I already notice the stronger gpu and processor in my s compared to my ps4 and Xbox one. I just need my ps5 to stand next to my s
@@reactking7093 service on PC is great but you missing couple games like World of Tanks console version. Cross platform play is still not widely supported so there is a chunk of experience that you missing. You can chat with your friends with Xbox app on PC. I’ve got decent gaming PC with game pass and I’m thinking about getting XSS for Christmas for causal gaming.

@@Ornal64 the good thing about the XSS combined with my pc is that i can continue playing from my pc to my XSS in my sofa with gamepass. GAMEPASS IS KING👍🏽💪🏽
I disagree with your opinion on the dual sense controller, the vibrations when playing games like Miles Morales always immersed me with those electrical surges through the controller. The touch pad is useful when typing and adds another method of control on the PS5, and it had been utilized to a decent extent in my opinion. The triggers as well add a brand new level of control, it makes each trigger have essentially multiple actions or levels of activation. In ratchet and clank, it made a huge difference. The speaker on the controller as well helped make the whole experience immersive and feel next gen. The PlayStation 5 controller does a better job at complimenting their games than the Xbox controller ever will. That’s all from owning both systems at a point and time.
Microsoft literally said all Bethesda games moving forward after the acquisition are going to be exclusive, when did they say they will go on Playstation, wtf???
They said games that already are on other platforms will still be supported, but future games will be Microsoft exclusives such as Starfield, Elder scrolls 6, Fallout 5, Doom etc etc
@@swaggadash9017 But they already stated that, and for an example Starfield, Elder scrolls 6 will be Xbox and PC, cloud gaming only. Why should they care about Sony's PS5 when Sony doesn't care about other platforms, Nintendo too? With your statement both Sony and Nintendo is losing money because they have exclusive games locked to their platform.
Truly comes down to preferences, can't knock one or the other. Both great consoles and us as gamers are very lucky and spoiled that we have all these options to choose from.
That's why I'm concerned about buying Xbox series s, now it's good but what happens after 3 or 4 years what if they make games that are unplayable on SS
@@DailyMovieMania I think that's a fair concern. Luckily, the X seems to be pretty easy to get now, so if you have doubts, drop the extra $200. I myself may wind up picking up an X at some point; really depends on how much I find myself using the S.
@Nazyair sengikar as of right now... just about every tech site out there has spoken on how Xbox files will get smaller just like PS5 file sizes... don't shill for a plastic box made by a company that doesn't care about you 🤷♂️
@@blickedxb wow stop lying it's a known fact that ps5 Has better compression. Stop acting like a child; when facts are stated. Both can say all they want fact is ps5 game size is far smaller and as good in quality. And just to be clear the ps5 has 1 game already made in 8k 60fps then downscales it to 4k. The same game was only able to hit 6k 60fps on XSX (just in case you are going to now argue for less quality). I don't care what your feelings say facts matter. Please explain how facts are about shill? Do you even understand how disconnected your comment is?
@Nazyair sengikar Here you are lying Again. You also can't read. I said that text sites said that xbox file sizes will be the same size as playstation 5 file sizes over the course of the next year. No playstation 5 game is 8K and both of the Microsoft exclusives scored higher than both of the PS5 exclusives that have been released so far. Move along fan boy
@Tahir That would be odd for me to be an xbox fan boy but go out of my way to spend $500 wait 48 hours clicking a button over and over again online to get a PS5. Me bringing correct facts when this dude tries to lie to bolster his plastic Box is not fan boying.
Agreed on the Xbox controller recharging flexibility. I use rechargeable AA/AAA batteries and vastly prefer hot swapping in fully charged ones rather than waiting on charging the entire controller. Also, as a PC gamer, I love the Xbox controller compatibility with Windows.
Yeah, I love the rechargeable batteries. My PS5 controllers die so fast it would be nice to be able to swap out batteries instead of charging them all the time.
Why not keep both, like me, for each console has its exclusives. I have my s for halo, fable, and xbox game pass. Then my beefy ps5 will be for the stronger gpu and exclusive sony games.
@@3rdreichball525 I have an S and want a PS5 to take full advantage of my 4K tv. I know a few people who have PS5 and it frustrates me because they don’t even have a 4K tv most of the time.
I had both PS4 and Xbox One S. Sold PS4 and stick with Xbox. Whole experience felt better and more focused on gamers. PS 5 is great system for games but you can’t even change your account region and currency. That’s not consumer friendly. Consoles are now more service than hardware and PlayStation got lots of catching up to do.
Maybe the original commenter just has a preference to the XB, or maybe that’s the platform most of their friends are playing on. There’s many reasons why a person could prefer something over another. Stop fanboying over someone else’s opinion.
This one's an easy answer: XBOX SERIES S all the way. With Game Pass? It's a no-brainer. I have a PS5 (Disk version) and I haven't turned that thing on in *MONTHS*
@@k12ak For my Series S I use the internal to play new games then use a WD Easystore 1TB External USB 3.0 SSD (Best Buy for $99) to move them to this drive. I can also play original Xbox and Xbox 360 games off this drive without moving them to internal storage. So far it's been good and haven't filled up either drives. On my Xbox Series X I bought their overpriced proprietary SSD but also use an external drive for it with 4TB.
this generation is really a 1440P at 60 FPS generation, 4k at 60 is a stretch goal and 4k at 120 is a moon shot. What you're actually paying a premium above the Series S for is additional storage and a disk drive.
Honestly PS5 Digital version make no sense for now. You have to buy game full price from Sony. Xbox S is the complete opposite. With Gamepass there is no reason to buy disk game anymore.
I have disk PS5 since the first drop. I have 2 PCs both Ryzen 7 3700x one with 2070 other with 2080. I just picked up a series s and so far I'm blown away. Nothing else to say.
I’m a PlayStation die hard Never owned a Xbox in my life But they do offer way more without a question So my lady got me the series s the other day and some of their exclusives are INCREDIBLE “Quantum Break” “Tell me why” (I believe it’s called” and I’m still learning more about it. I know NOTHING about Xbox and I’m not in a console war I just enjoy games but always liked PlayStation more But like I said I’ve been enjoying the Xbox so far a lot and can’t wait to see newer games in the future You ask me the graphics are good regardless on the S so that 4K 8k stuff don’t bother me I been playing free games on the Xbox that I would’ve been paying $60 for on PlayStation That’s pretty kool Plus the comfort of the controller is amazing I won’t lie I probably would’ve gotten a PlayStation digital if they had em for sale but I’m happy with the box
I really like what you say there about neither console replacing each other. I can't think of any other time in the past where both consoles have been in a position where each one does a really distinctive thing and does it well. I was already covered by PS4, since Naughty Dog and Kojima are my kind of exclusives. So I went for Xbox this time around. Plus, Sony came up with a lot of PR nonsense early this gen: I guess it was a no-confidence vote as a consumer too.
@MURPHY’S LAW ok sell it bro. Idc it doesn’t hurt me one bit and doesn’t change what I literally just said. I own both as well, Matta fact all 3, they’re called Xbox series s/x consoles and for you to say the ps5 is better doesn’t add up, not on paper, and not by specs, and definitely not because of consumer friendly business tactics. 🥴 PlayStation has the biggest fanboys I’ve ever seen in my entire life and it’s borderline toxic. So I’ll chalk it to personal preference and leave you alone.
There is a lot talk about frame rates and resolution with this generation. I think people are missing the point. What was wrong and become outdated quickly with Xbox One and PS4 was fluent experience. Last generation felt slow and that why I sold my both consoles and build PC. Now games load instantly and work smoothly. That’s great gaming experience and resolution comes secondary. EDIT: Bought Xbox Series S and when I stared to play games on my 4K TV(using my Ryzen 7 5800X paired with RX6700XT PC with same display) I was a bit disappointed. Games looked dark and blurry on Series S. That experience is coming from person that used TV both 1080p and 4K as main PC display since 2017. I’m playing usually in 2K, 1800p or 4K resolution with graphical settings customised to my liking. What helped me fix Series S graphics was turning HDR off(you need top display to really enjoy this technology) in console settings. Colours are now vibrant and picture clarity and sharpness(subjective opinion)improved. I don’t mind lower resolution upscaled to 4K because it don’t look bad on 59 inch TV and gaming smoothness makes you forget about resolution and other marketing mumble because experience is great. I’m amazed how many 4K TV features current generation Xbox consoles can utilise. If you have any doubts about Series S don’t. That’s next generation console that delivers next generation experience or as I would say smooth gameplay/experience . But be warned cross generation games might look last gen if they’re not Series X/S optimised. Now I find myself turning console more often than PC and playing same games in “worse” graphics/resolution and enjoying them in same way. I never considered big consoles, my only regret is not getting Series S sooner.
Exactly, this generation is really a 1440P at 60 FPS generation, 4k at 60 is a stretch goal and 4k at 120 is a moon shot. What you're actually paying a premium above the SS for is additional storage and a disk drive.
The next-gen consoles have faster loading times then most pc now days and better preference at cheap coast pc can beat it but it will cost twice as much or more
Pc are always better no doubt will cost more bit will also last more and can upgrade it anytime. But right now due to COVID the pc components prices have boomed.
I feel like something you forgot to mention with the Series S is backwards compatibility. The Series S is capable of playing a lot of 360 and OG Xbox games, and while the PS5 is capable of playing a lot of PS4 games, the backwards compatibility is a lot more limited.
Tbh...your videos are pretty dope! I don't understand why aren't you getting more subs...I know subs doesn't matter...its the determination to make high quality videos!
Xbox series s is a 1080 beast and if you have it upscale to 4k it still runs 60 frames in performance mode. I play eso on it in up scaled 4k and it runs smooth like butter. This along with game pass is a great option. I sit far enough back that the extra fidelity of native 4k isn't a problem. Style wise if you are super well off you could get a switch oled, Ps5, and a series s. Then all your systems would match and you could get all the exclusives. 😉
I’ve had Sony my entire life, but I’m still on the first generation ps4 and want to upgrade. It’s impossible for me to find a ps5 at retail value, even 1.5 years later, so looks like I’m gonna be switching to Xbox series s. Sony dropped the ball on this console release, because once I buy a system I keep it until the next one comes out. So that means Sony loses my business for 5-6 years because they can’t sort out their inventory. I remember when the PS4 released I was able to walk in the store and buy one. The fact that I can’t do this with ps5 has frustrated me to no end… sorry Sony but I’m out
Same here bro and all I want to do is play fortnite at 120 fps bc my ps4 has constant frame drops in creative. When theres ony 16 people in the map. But I guess its because my ps4 is also first gen.
@@StealthyKai1 yeah I’m a casual gamer but want to experience the next gen. Can’t believe it’s almost 2 years down the line and still can’t get my hands on one. I’m pissed at Sony
I own both series x and s. For me series s it's amazing little beast and delivers the same experience during the game. If you are looking for pixels on the display then go for a stronger device.
You honestly can’t go wrong with either one. They both are impressive systems. If you could only afford one, you need to look at what’s more important to you. If you prefer Sonys exclusives, then go with the PS5. If you prefer Microsoft’s exclusives, then go with the xbox series s. As somebody who’s been gaming for years and gets all the systems, from an unbiased opinion, I suggest to more people xbox at the moment. Not that I’m a fanboy or trying to persuade others to buy it. I look at what’s out and what’s to come. Xbox series S is the better deal at the moment. It’s a cheaper way to get into “next gen,” gamepass is a crazy good deal, Microsoft now owns 23 studios that are pumping out games and will continue to, and the system is backwards compatible with many xbox, 360, and one games. Overall, you have to go with what you’re more into. You’ll have high quality games that are exclusive to either platform. If you’re big into gaming, I’d say get both if you could, but if you can only choose one, just weigh your pros and cons. Yes I said in the last paragraph I’d suggest the series S and stated my reasons why, but you have to only chose one, keep an open mind and go with the exclusives that mean more to you. They are both great systems.
@Nazyair sengikar here you shill again. Since Sony is putting all there games on PC(which they said themselves they will), then all you need is a PC & a Switch...
That’s “if” you have a PC. Many do not and the video wasn’t about having a PC. If PC was included in on the video, then yes, that would be the better way to go. For those who don’t have a PC, and can only do one of the consoles above. I would suggest the Xbox and no, neither console is a waste.
The idea of a PC gaming monitor, is that you can play in real native resolution on the Series S 1080P /1440P ... So if you want that same pixel density on a 50 inchs TV, then a PS5 and Series X will be just perfect!
I've been waiting to get a ps5 since release and haven't been able to get one. So instead I've bought the series s and I'm genuinely blown away buy it. Sony can kiss my hairy behind.
Hey bro, the Series S is an excellent choice for a PC gaming set up. 1080P 144 hz on a PC gaming monitor, wow it's crystal clear and the performance in raw cpu power is a hairline faster than the PS5. But if you are playing at 4K, let's say a 50 inch screen, then the PS5 digital is surely worth it!
The Cpu being faster doesn't matter since Ps5 has 6 entire more Teraflops and clock speed is also way faster on Ps5 There's also no game currently which performs better on series S than Ps5
I got PS5 this month. I am totally aware of the gamepass on xbox. But for me ps5 controller was the selling point. I think no one can express how the controller feels in words, one has to play with that to understand the potential of dualsense controller. Also bought ps+ which gives 20 top tier PS4 games, so I am happy with that ❤️
@@TechSpaceCowboy Returnal? Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut? Demons Souls? Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart? Sackboy? There are so many games that utilize just as good as ASTROs Playroom.
@@rottenapple_ yea I feel like people that talk bad about it either never tried the dualsense or are just haters lol. It's awesome honestly and definitely helps with immersion. GT7 with adaptive triggers, haptic feedback and six axis steering will really shine. It won't be better than a wheel but it will 100 percent be the best controller to use for racing games.
Looking at price alone, and given that most of us gamers will eventually end up adding at least 1TB of internal storage. Series S digital + 1TB storage = £435, giving 1.4TB of storage space for games. PS5 digital + 1TB storage = £470, giving 1.7TB of storage space for games. Based off cheapest internal drive for Xbox = £185 and cheapest for PS5 = £110.
Even tho I think the ps5 is better i prefer the look and form-factor of the xbox series s. I think the best combination is to have the regular ps5 and a xbox series s for the exclusives.
That’s what I’ve been thinking of doing as well, I’ve had my PS5 since February and I’m happy with it. But, I just can’t ignore Halo and other Xbox games now can’t I? So that’s why ’m planning on getting the Series S with game pass one of these days 👌
Thank you very much for your review, I finally got the XBox Series S since I mainly play BF2042, COD, FIFA and racing game. Buying PS5 in my city is very expensive since official Sony retailers are out of stock all the time, we can only double the price to buy from the re-sell retailers. It is so bad for us as a gamers.
I appreciate the option of more tech and future proofing the controller isn’t a horrible idea. Its one of those extras that a couple of developers will innovate with it (especially with Vr becoming more common place) but the majority won’t.
@@mangasaint Not really future proofing considering it’s been a feature since the DualShock, and it didn’t really have much useful use during the PS4 generation. The moments in Astro Bot or even TLoU2 that implemented the touchpad actually made the game feel less immersive IMO. Also, using it as an alternative to typing is a joke.
I wouldn’t say useless, playing Spider-Man if you touch the touchpad It brings up your skill tree and other things, if you swipe to the left it brings up in game activities. It’s only useless if developers don’t support it but for the developers that do it’s a great extra feature
They're 100% not going to make Bethesda exclusive to the xbox... look at Minecraft, they bought that, people got scared that Microsoft was gonna f it up, but they didn't make it exclusive
It’s not 800 gigs vs 500 gigs, the series S has like 375 gigs iirc. Considering the price of storage this gen, that’s a biggie. I prefer the layout on the Xbox controller, always have, it just feels more natural. But I love the features on the ps5 controller. I actually bought an S and returned it, I just didn’t see the value in it when compared to the X. I knew id regret keeping it and not getting an X instead. I wish MS would’ve gone Sonys route and dropped an X with no disc for a $100 less, I hope they still do. I have a PS5 digital, I really want a Series X now……..I wanna play Forza so bad, I love horizon.
I wanted a Series S from the moment it was announced. Took me till just recently to get it, but it’s exactly everything I was hoping it would be. I am more than satisfied. It even looks criiiisp in the living room 4K TV 👌🏼
I ordered the xbox series s on Amazon for an awesome deal, I’m just glad I can play next gen instead of waiting who knows how long until the PS5 is available and a decent price.
Honestly, I think buying both of this systems is the way to go…. Now I know that’s more for us hardcore gamers, but hear me out. Let’s be honest both Xbox and Playstation have huge things going for them, in my opinion Sony is the games, exclusives, single player experiences that you can’t experience elsewhere is where it’s at…. But Xbox, the social and multiplayer aspect on Xbox is unmatched, on Playstation I feel isolated, now not in a bad way but I feel like every time I’m going to my PlayStation is to binge a game and be alone for the rest of the night… now on the Xbox I feel like I always have friends, I feel welcomed, I feel that the community aspect in Xbox is by far the best of any platform really, that plus gamepass…. You can’t go wrong with that…. If you have the money, I wouldn’t say go buy both the series x and ps5, I’d personally advise to buy the ps5 disc version and the series s, assuming you get them at retail price it’s 800 bucks and you’re set for the next 6-8 years easily, and you’ll have both sides of the cake to enjoy, it’s a great time to be a gamer, both sides offer immense value and for the first time ever I feel both are completely worth getting!
I have a PS5, Switch (for their first-party games), and my Series S is coming on Friday! You’re right, the different consoles each have their own advantages and I’m lucky to be in a position where I can have all 3. I’m excited for this generation of games… we are in a golden age of gaming.
Chose Series S over Ps5, loved my PS4 which has become a dust collector. Couldn’t be happier with my choice and gamepass. Attached an external 6TB HD, does the job np.
I very strongly believe that, especially when speaking about an ALL DIGITAL console, it’s imperative to examine the extreme value of Gamepass.. This entire debate comes down to gamepass for me. With the digital PlayStation, you are locked in to paying up to 70 dollars per game, solely from the PlayStation store, where games remain at MSRP for quite some time after release. Now, if you purchase the Series S, and pay an additional 15 dollars a month for gamepass, or 120 dollars for a year, you can play a plethora of amazing games, including MANY day 1 releases, on gamepass. That’s cheaper than buying two brand new PlayStation exclusives. Personally, most of the games that I care about playing are already on gamepass. Not to mention, Xbox’s backwards compatibility is much more available, and also, you can turn your series S into an emulator and play NES, GameCube, wii, N64c SNES, PS2, PS1 games, all on your Xbox series S, and it is completely legal. Not to mention the mod support for Bethesda titles is much more available on xbox also. IMO, the ONLY reason to buy the PlayStation is for exclusives or if you are a hardcore gamer who cares deeply about specs. They have great exclusives. But keep in mind, that the exclusivity battle is going to intensify a ton in upcoming years as all future Bethesda titles will be exclusive, and now likely all Activision titles as well. Once COD is exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem, and to gamepass, if you truly think about the value, Xbox seems like a no brainer to me when talking digital gaming.
Reason for my messages, is since there are amazing options for the Series S... Please trust me!!! Take a 1080P curved or flat gaming monitor, and just play Forza Horizon 5, Fifa 22, even Battlefield 2042, and trust me you will see its glory of PC style gaming... With 120 Hz on Vanguard and few other shooter games :) :) :) :)
As much as I love Xbox, I'd sooner get the PS5 digital edition. There's more horse power than the Series S and I'd want to get the most out of my 4K TV. In fact, I'd rather get that than the disc version of PS5.
It's not just Bethesda, Microsoft snapped up zenimax which covers Bethesda, Id software , arkane and machinegames. It could potentially be a Doom exclusive in the future but I have no idea if it'll go that far
@@glennhkboy The Elder Scrolls VI is Xbox and PC exclusive what makes you think Fallout will be on a ps5. And with Doom I said potentially as we just don't know yet but Microsoft didn't spend that money for no reason
I have a series X and a big xbox fan. Do I think those games will be xvox exclusives? Yes I do. Do I think they may end up on playstation too. Yes I do. MS is a business and keeping the game exclusive to their console would be a great advantage in terms of gaining marketshare but at the same time, it's a big profit loss. We'll, to MS it probably doesn't matter much anyway
I dont see the point comparing the PS5 digital to the Series S. They have different business strategies. While these type of comparison would make sense to the Series X vs PS5 digital (its basically the PS5 without disk), it doesnt quite apply to the Series S. The most important point of the Series S is being affordable, available and Game Pass. The Series S is less powerful, but a cheap entry to next gen games and XBoX ecosystem. The PS Digital is basically the full Playstation 5 experience without disk, to make it cheaper when compared to the Series X. Also.. Bethesda games are exclusive, its not even a question at this point anymore. Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo are timed exclusives deals before the aquisition. Why would Bethesda release Starfield only on XBoX, and later releases like Elder Scrolls, Fallout and DOOMs on both consoles? With that said its expected XBoX to have more exclusives through this generation.. its simple, they own more studios, more IPs and more money. Actually, this year is not over yet and XBoX has already released more exclusives than PS (and there is still Halo and The Gunk in December), people just dont realize it.. yet, lol.
As an Xbox Beta Tester the Series S starts to shine with the implementation of Cloud Gaming. It saves on space and games just are ready in a jiff. The Series S is also great to take on vacations, bc it is easy to pack. I have a Series X, S, and a PS5.
when did xbox or Microsoft ever say they weren't making Bethesda exclusive? Biggest downfall with the series is the ssd storage space with my 1tb series x it has already become a problem there can't imagine ever suggesting a series s to someone.
With the recent update and inclusion of cloud gaming, the smaller storage space becomes less of an issue-at least with MS exclusives or games on Game Pass. Depending on your bandwidth speeds, you can try or even completely play most games available on Game Pass without using any of your storage space.
Thank you for the review! It really helped me to make a decision. Both, my decision is both! I liked all the things you taughted about both systems. They sound great,
I recently discovered your channel and I'm very pleased with the content you release, I originally wanted a ps5 but you know how that be lol, so to my surprise on black Friday I ended up leaving my local Walmart with a series s and that was the first time I watched one of your videos. You reviewed the xbox series s and validated my purchase because I almost bought that thing without a second thought lmaoooo
I do have both consoles and I payed 550 for the ps5, but I got the Xbox for a stellar price of 240 on Amazon of all places and let me tell you guys the Xbox is fantastic for that price range. My end verdict on next gen is the ps5 is a fantastic main console but the Xbox is a great little secondary one. If you have the opportunity get either or, or both.
The touchpad on the dualsense is actually really useful. Typing takes seconds instead of several minutes and you can use it as a mouse cursor if you connect it to a pc, let's say you're in a sofa.
@@christophergarland2315 For right now with what you get with Gamepass compared to PlayStation I to have to agree lol. I play my Series S more and I just got my PS5, that means alot lol
@@christophergarland2315 ahh classic copium! In what world is a series a better than a PS5? Game pass doesn’t even have many good games and the ones that are good most people have played anyway. You can play all of those on PC. PS5 is 2 and a half times more powerful than a series s and can do native 4k at 60. The series s will be lucky to do 1080p at 60 fps 🤣 but yeah, keep telling yourself the series s is better 🤣
It's 364 and I haven't had a problem with it and the usable storage on the PS5 is 660, which is also no enough. The fact is you're going to have to agressively manage downloads, expand storage or, more likely, both on any console you buy. None of them have "enough" native storage in a world of 100+ GB downloads.
@@leroybrown9143 I'll agree. These current gen consoles should have come with 2tb storage MINIMUM. I understand that ssd's aren't cheap though. The 364gb in the series s is basically good enough for one install of COD and 2 other games or so, THAT'S tiny.
Do not buy the ps5 digital, and that s from a fan of Sony .. Get the disc version ,Sony doesn't have their equivalent to the gamepass , so the digital version is a financial hole. I m not against the idea to pay the a game full price but 1) with the digital ,you can say bye-bye to second hand game ,so you can't get some of your money back 2) always full price on their store even if you can get the physical game all new at 50$ you will pay 70$ on the playstation store no matter how much time passed. 3) if you have physical ps4 games. You won't be able to play them and will have to pay them all over again at full price on their store even if they are 3 years old. The series s is much better value in term of accessibility, yes you will have the same issue has the ps5 digital if you have physical xbox games. But you have the gamepass , 1st party developer put their games for free on the gamepass and they won't go away after sometime ...no,no, they will stay forever on the gamepass The only case where I can recommend the ps5 digital now, is for the people whom never had a Sony console and whom do not play a lot . What I did to wait until I can get a ps5disc , I took a series s, ( first time I have a xbox console) Or you can just wait 🤔
Like 80% of game sales are digital bro by next gen when the super poor can afford internet, or internet is available in unavailable areas the number will rise
There’s also one other part of the video that wasn’t mentioned Accessibility. I consider that for less than perfect sighted people the Xbox series S is a great buy. There is more accessible things for less sighted people that you can use games like gears five Forza horizon, and definitely halo infinite. The narrator on the Xbox actually lets you set up your Xbox series S with less of a hassle or having to have a sighted person help you out. It’s up for the bait if the controller on the series S is enough because the haptic feedback on the PlayStation 5DE is pretty good but at the end of the day $100 to pay for game pass. So hope next video you will include the accessibility category thanks!
@@TechSpaceCowboy I don't get your POV every game I play I feel the impact of haptic feedback. How could you even put the xbox controller in the same class?? It makes no sense.
I'm a long time PS user but with the difficulties and scalpers I decided to go with the SS when it became available. Honestly it's the best choice I could have made and game pass ultimate and the overall performance has been more then satisfying for my needs. The only investment you need to make is the SSD expansion but I'd say it's completely worth it even if it is expensive. But it will still be cheaper then a series x or PS5 with the current prices for the more powerful consoles.

I sold mine for 950 euros,profit of 450👏happy days bought the series s then cos didn't really want the ps anymore.
I chose the Xbox S after trying the PS5 & I couldn’t be happier. The game pass alone is well worth buying the X or S series. I don’t own any 4K TV’s so I didn’t see the point in buying the X series or a PS5. The S series Xbox fits all my gaming needs & at $299 this was a no brainer.
I agree my series s comes tomorrow
I want to get the Series X, even though I dont have a 4k TV. I would probably upgrade my TV for 4k 120 FPS, but Xbox series X for the insane power it delivers. Although, the Xbox series S Delivers insane value like the Xbox one S.
My honest opinion without anyone ask:
You don't need a 4K TV to feel the difference between Series S and PS5/Series X, the games on the more powerfull machines have better graphics settings like improved shadows, Ray tracing, draw distance, texturas, LoD, more games supporting 120fps and even 60fps, etc...
4K60Hz TVs are dirt cheap these days, don't understand how people buy new consoles and keep playing on old TVs.

@@fernandofonseca2033 As someone who had the SS and now has a SX and PS5 you can see and tell the difference in performance and visuals. My one X even looked better than most of the games on the SS but the SS loads games much faster and you got better framerate on most games.

I went from a PS4 to Xbox Series S this year. I like playing games. I had a PS+ subscription as well. But I ended up buying a lot of games which I didn't even played. Also the quality of games on PS+ was not good for me.
On Xbox, I subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate. Now I can play so many games and new games are being added all the time. Also I can play previous generation games on Xbox which I couldn't do on PlayStation.
Except loosing out on Sony exclusives, I'm not missing PlayStation that much. Also the prices of PS5 exclusive games are too high and Sony confirmed that that will be the case in future as well. And I can play Xbox exclusives with Gamepass. So I'm happy I chose Xbox this time. 🙂
I dont want to chose. There for i will get the xbox s for halo and fable. And i will get the expensive ps5 when i find one thats market price.
But i got my series s, and i like it. I already notice the stronger gpu and processor in my s compared to my ps4 and Xbox one. I just need my ps5 to stand next to my s

I disagree with your opinion on the dual sense controller, the vibrations when playing games like Miles Morales always immersed me with those electrical surges through the controller. The touch pad is useful when typing and adds another method of control on the PS5, and it had been utilized to a decent extent in my opinion. The triggers as well add a brand new level of control, it makes each trigger have essentially multiple actions or levels of activation. In ratchet and clank, it made a huge difference. The speaker on the controller as well helped make the whole experience immersive and feel next gen. The PlayStation 5 controller does a better job at complimenting their games than the Xbox controller ever will. That’s all from owning both systems at a point and time.
I appreciate your well articulated difference of opinion.
Microsoft literally said all Bethesda games moving forward after the acquisition are going to be exclusive, when did they say they will go on Playstation, wtf???
They said games that already are on other platforms will still be supported, but future games will be Microsoft exclusives such as Starfield, Elder scrolls 6, Fallout 5, Doom etc etc
One could argue that Halo and Forza arn't exclusives, as they are available on PC.
Could be that is what they meant.

* Typical 1st party game: 1440P 30 | 1080P 60 |

@@DailyMovieMania I think that's a fair concern. Luckily, the X seems to be pretty easy to get now, so if you have doubts, drop the extra $200. I myself may wind up picking up an X at some point; really depends on how much I find myself using the S.
You’re right on the storage part. If 512GB’s isn’t enough, then a 800 isn’t enough either.
Nope the compression of the ps5 is far better than XSS and XSX.

Agreed on the Xbox controller recharging flexibility. I use rechargeable AA/AAA batteries and vastly prefer hot swapping in fully charged ones rather than waiting on charging the entire controller. Also, as a PC gamer, I love the Xbox controller compatibility with Windows.
Nah you just buy a second PS5 Controller, play with one while the other is charging, you will never wait for the cotroller to charge again.

PS 5 is great system for games but you can’t even change your account region and currency. That’s not consumer friendly. Consoles are now more service than hardware and PlayStation got lots of catching up to do.
Maybe the original commenter just has a preference to the XB, or maybe that’s the platform most of their friends are playing on. There’s many reasons why a person could prefer something over another. Stop fanboying over someone else’s opinion.

This one's an easy answer: XBOX SERIES S all the way. With Game Pass? It's a no-brainer. I have a PS5 (Disk version) and I haven't turned that thing on in *MONTHS*
What about the storage on the xbox
@@k12ak For my Series S I use the internal to play new games then use a WD Easystore 1TB External USB 3.0 SSD (Best Buy for $99) to move them to this drive. I can also play original Xbox and Xbox 360 games off this drive without moving them to internal storage. So far it's been good and haven't filled up either drives. On my Xbox Series X I bought their overpriced proprietary SSD but also use an external drive for it with 4TB.
this generation is really a 1440P at 60 FPS generation, 4k at 60 is a stretch goal and 4k at 120 is a moon shot. What you're actually paying a premium above the Series S for is additional storage and a disk drive.
Where you find 1440p60fps on PS5/XSX, is most likely 1080p60fps with minimal to no ray tracing in Series S
@@diegofrgc That's true, Series S doesn't represent the gold standard for this generation of consoles.

I really like what you say there about neither console replacing each other. I can't think of any other time in the past where both consoles have been in a position where each one does a really distinctive thing and does it well. I was already covered by PS4, since Naughty Dog and Kojima are my kind of exclusives. So I went for Xbox this time around. Plus, Sony came up with a lot of PR nonsense early this gen: I guess it was a no-confidence vote as a consumer too.
@MURPHY’S LAW no just mindless fanboys 😒🤦🏾♂️ They’ll drop literal dog doodoo and y’all would call it a masterpiece.
@MURPHY’S LAW ok sell it bro. Idc it doesn’t hurt me one bit and doesn’t change what I literally just said. I own both as well, Matta fact all 3, they’re called Xbox series s/x consoles and for you to say the ps5 is better doesn’t add up, not on paper, and not by specs, and definitely not because of consumer friendly business tactics. 🥴 PlayStation has the biggest fanboys I’ve ever seen in my entire life and it’s borderline toxic. So I’ll chalk it to personal preference and leave you alone.
This is the most sensible review on these 2 Consoles...I ever heard...
There is a lot talk about frame rates and resolution with this generation. I think people are missing the point. What was wrong and become outdated quickly with Xbox One and PS4 was fluent experience. Last generation felt slow and that why I sold my both consoles and build PC. Now games load instantly and work smoothly. That’s great gaming experience and resolution comes secondary.
EDIT: Bought Xbox Series S and when I stared to play games on my 4K TV(using my Ryzen 7 5800X paired with RX6700XT PC with same display) I was a bit disappointed. Games looked dark and blurry on Series S. That experience is coming from person that used TV both 1080p and 4K as main PC display since 2017. I’m playing usually in 2K, 1800p or 4K resolution with graphical settings customised to my liking. What helped me fix Series S graphics was turning HDR off(you need top display to really enjoy this technology) in console settings. Colours are now vibrant and picture clarity and sharpness(subjective opinion)improved. I don’t mind lower resolution upscaled to 4K because it don’t look bad on 59 inch TV and gaming smoothness makes you forget about resolution and other marketing mumble because experience is great. I’m amazed how many 4K TV features current generation Xbox consoles can utilise. If you have any doubts about Series S don’t. That’s next generation console that delivers next generation experience or as I would say smooth gameplay/experience . But be warned cross generation games might look last gen if they’re not Series X/S optimised. Now I find myself turning console more often than PC and playing same games in “worse” graphics/resolution and enjoying them in same way. I never considered big consoles, my only regret is not getting Series S sooner.
Exactly, this generation is really a 1440P at 60 FPS generation, 4k at 60 is a stretch goal and 4k at 120 is a moon shot. What you're actually paying a premium above the SS for is additional storage and a disk drive.
The next-gen consoles have faster loading times then most pc now days and better preference at cheap coast pc can beat it but it will cost twice as much or more
Pc are always better no doubt will cost more bit will also last more and can upgrade it anytime. But right now due to COVID the pc components prices have boomed.
Mt PS5 is faster than my $2600 PC. 🤣
If I walk into a store and I see a PS5 and a Series S in stock that means I'm probably high on shrooms
I call that a win win
I like how he's honest on each of the consoles and doesnt have any bias towards any of them, Great Video!
I’m sorry but gamepass ultimate is a game changer (pun intended). For that reason alone series s is the way to go
Man, I do follow you for some time, and you definitely deserve 10x more subscribers! Your videos are just awesome.
I feel like something you forgot to mention with the Series S is backwards compatibility. The Series S is capable of playing a lot of 360 and OG Xbox games, and while the PS5 is capable of playing a lot of PS4 games, the backwards compatibility is a lot more limited.
Tbh...your videos are pretty dope! I don't understand why aren't you getting more subs...I know subs doesn't matter...its the determination to make high quality videos!

I like how chill your delivery was! :)
Xbox series s is a 1080 beast and if you have it upscale to 4k it still runs 60 frames in performance mode. I play eso on it in up scaled 4k and it runs smooth like butter. This along with game pass is a great option. I sit far enough back that the extra fidelity of native 4k isn't a problem. Style wise if you are super well off you could get a switch oled, Ps5, and a series s. Then all your systems would match and you could get all the exclusives. 😉
I'm old enough not to care about the best and newest anymore.
I’ve had Sony my entire life, but I’m still on the first generation ps4 and want to upgrade. It’s impossible for me to find a ps5 at retail value, even 1.5 years later, so looks like I’m gonna be switching to Xbox series s. Sony dropped the ball on this console release, because once I buy a system I keep it until the next one comes out. So that means Sony loses my business for 5-6 years because they can’t sort out their inventory. I remember when the PS4 released I was able to walk in the store and buy one. The fact that I can’t do this with ps5 has frustrated me to no end… sorry Sony but I’m out
Same here bro and all I want to do is play fortnite at 120 fps bc my ps4 has constant frame drops in creative. When theres ony 16 people in the map. But I guess its because my ps4 is also first gen.
@@StealthyKai1 yeah I’m a casual gamer but want to experience the next gen. Can’t believe it’s almost 2 years down the line and still can’t get my hands on one. I’m pissed at Sony
I own both series x and s. For me series s it's amazing little beast and delivers the same experience during the game. If you are looking for pixels on the display then go for a stronger device.
The 249.99 price is in Europen Pounds. Which is roughly the same as $299.99
Obviously Series S since it's the only one in stock
It’s only not in stock for people that don’t know what they’re doing
You honestly can’t go wrong with either one. They both are impressive systems. If you could only afford one, you need to look at what’s more important to you. If you prefer Sonys exclusives, then go with the PS5. If you prefer Microsoft’s exclusives, then go with the xbox series s.
As somebody who’s been gaming for years and gets all the systems, from an unbiased opinion, I suggest to more people xbox at the moment. Not that I’m a fanboy or trying to persuade others to buy it. I look at what’s out and what’s to come. Xbox series S is the better deal at the moment. It’s a cheaper way to get into “next gen,” gamepass is a crazy good deal, Microsoft now owns 23 studios that are pumping out games and will continue to, and the system is backwards compatible with many xbox, 360, and one games.
Overall, you have to go with what you’re more into. You’ll have high quality games that are exclusive to either platform. If you’re big into gaming, I’d say get both if you could, but if you can only choose one, just weigh your pros and cons. Yes I said in the last paragraph I’d suggest the series S and stated my reasons why, but you have to only chose one, keep an open mind and go with the exclusives that mean more to you. They are both great systems.
Actually if you have a PC then yes you are just throwing money away; to get all games you need PC, PS5 And Nintendo.
@Nazyair sengikar here you shill again. Since Sony is putting all there games on PC(which they said themselves they will), then all you need is a PC & a Switch...
That’s “if” you have a PC. Many do not and the video wasn’t about having a PC. If PC was included in on the video, then yes, that would be the better way to go. For those who don’t have a PC, and can only do one of the consoles above. I would suggest the Xbox and no, neither console is a waste.
Nice clean simple informational video. Subbed
The idea of a PC gaming monitor, is that you can play in real native resolution on the Series S 1080P /1440P ... So if you want that same pixel density on a 50 inchs TV, then a PS5 and Series X will be just perfect!
Even better, native 4k Resolution and quad monitor inputs at the same time on one monitor.

in norway they dont sell brand new ps5 for 400 bucks. they sell used ones for 800
Hey bro, the Series S is an excellent choice for a PC gaming set up. 1080P 144 hz on a PC gaming monitor, wow it's crystal clear and the performance in raw cpu power is a hairline faster than the PS5. But if you are playing at 4K, let's say a 50 inch screen, then the PS5 digital is surely worth it!
The Cpu being faster doesn't matter since Ps5 has 6 entire more Teraflops and clock speed is also way faster on Ps5
There's also no game currently which performs better on series S than Ps5
Also there's already 2.1 144hz monitor at 28inch
Again on Ps5 you get better FPS and resolution.
Faster cpu?? You sure?

Also bought ps+ which gives 20 top tier PS4 games, so I am happy with that ❤️

Not gonna lie ...I'm watching this video wondering why your comparing the series s to the ps5 but you got me, I'm intrigued 🤔
Looking at price alone, and given that most of us gamers will eventually end up adding at least 1TB of internal storage.
Series S digital + 1TB storage = £435, giving 1.4TB of storage space for games.
PS5 digital + 1TB storage = £470, giving 1.7TB of storage space for games.
Based off cheapest internal drive for Xbox = £185 and cheapest for PS5 = £110.
But I think cloud is a game changer
Series S + dev mode +gamepass🤯 🤷🏽♂️specially if your into retro games Xbox all day.
All day!
Exactly
Even tho I think the ps5 is better i prefer the look and form-factor of the xbox series s. I think the best combination is to have the regular ps5 and a xbox series s for the exclusives.
That’s what I did. Solid decisions
PS5 and series S would be my combination too.
I think this is what I’m gonna do. I have a PS5 disc and I think I’ll pick up a series s.
That’s what I’ve been thinking of doing as well, I’ve had my PS5 since February and I’m happy with it. But, I just can’t ignore Halo and other Xbox games now can’t I? So that’s why ’m planning on getting the Series S with game pass one of these days 👌
Thank you very much for your review, I finally got the XBox Series S since I mainly play BF2042, COD, FIFA and racing game.
Buying PS5 in my city is very expensive since official Sony retailers are out of stock all the time, we can only double the price to buy from the re-sell retailers. It is so bad for us as a gamers.
As a young budget gamer all I can say is best bang for your buck hands down is a series s and gamepass
YES! Thank you! The touchpad on the DualSense (and on the DualShock) is the most useless thing on the controller.
I appreciate the option of more tech and future proofing the controller isn’t a horrible idea. Its one of those extras that a couple of developers will innovate with it (especially with Vr becoming more common place) but the majority won’t.
@@mangasaint Not really future proofing considering it’s been a feature since the DualShock, and it didn’t really have much useful use during the PS4 generation. The moments in Astro Bot or even TLoU2 that implemented the touchpad actually made the game feel less immersive IMO. Also, using it as an alternative to typing is a joke.
I wouldn’t say useless, playing Spider-Man if you touch the touchpad It brings up your skill tree and other things, if you swipe to the left it brings up in game activities. It’s only useless if developers don’t support it but for the developers that do it’s a great extra feature
Series X and PS5 Digital is the perfect combo. But if only the X was available but the S is still worth it due to being next gen.
They're 100% not going to make Bethesda exclusive to the xbox... look at Minecraft, they bought that, people got scared that Microsoft was gonna f it up, but they didn't make it exclusive
Thank you for being the only other one who acknowledges it’s not set in stone until it happens
It’s not 800 gigs vs 500 gigs, the series S has like 375 gigs iirc. Considering the price of storage this gen, that’s a biggie. I prefer the layout on the Xbox controller, always have, it just feels more natural. But I love the features on the ps5 controller. I actually bought an S and returned it, I just didn’t see the value in it when compared to the X. I knew id regret keeping it and not getting an X instead. I wish MS would’ve gone Sonys route and dropped an X with no disc for a $100 less, I hope they still do.
I have a PS5 digital, I really want a Series X now……..I wanna play Forza so bad, I love horizon.
I wanted a Series S from the moment it was announced. Took me till just recently to get it, but it’s exactly everything I was hoping it would be. I am more than satisfied.
It even looks criiiisp in the living room 4K TV 👌🏼
preciate dat
I've always turned the rumble feature off 🤷♂️
I ordered the xbox series s on Amazon for an awesome deal, I’m just glad I can play next gen instead of waiting who knows how long until the PS5 is available and a decent price.
Honestly, I think buying both of this systems is the way to go…. Now I know that’s more for us hardcore gamers, but hear me out.
Let’s be honest both Xbox and Playstation have huge things going for them, in my opinion Sony is the games, exclusives, single player experiences that you can’t experience elsewhere is where it’s at…. But Xbox, the social and multiplayer aspect on Xbox is unmatched, on Playstation I feel isolated, now not in a bad way but I feel like every time I’m going to my PlayStation is to binge a game and be alone for the rest of the night… now on the Xbox I feel like I always have friends, I feel welcomed, I feel that the community aspect in Xbox is by far the best of any platform really, that plus gamepass…. You can’t go wrong with that….
If you have the money, I wouldn’t say go buy both the series x and ps5, I’d personally advise to buy the ps5 disc version and the series s, assuming you get them at retail price it’s 800 bucks and you’re set for the next 6-8 years easily, and you’ll have both sides of the cake to enjoy, it’s a great time to be a gamer, both sides offer immense value and for the first time ever I feel both are completely worth getting!
I bought both and it's still much cheaper than getting a new PC lol
@@Spartan_83 absolutely, and honestly you have most of the perks having as having a pc
I have a PS5, Switch (for their first-party games), and my Series S is coming on Friday! You’re right, the different consoles each have their own advantages and I’m lucky to be in a position where I can have all 3. I’m excited for this generation of games… we are in a golden age of gaming.
Chose Series S over Ps5, loved my PS4 which has become a dust collector. Couldn’t be happier with my choice and gamepass. Attached an external 6TB HD, does the job np.
Hard drive is only for old gen games for new gen games the ssd that is supported cost around $200
I very strongly believe that, especially when speaking about an ALL DIGITAL console, it’s imperative to examine the extreme value of Gamepass.. This entire debate comes down to gamepass for me. With the digital PlayStation, you are locked in to paying up to 70 dollars per game, solely from the PlayStation store, where games remain at MSRP for quite some time after release. Now, if you purchase the Series S, and pay an additional 15 dollars a month for gamepass, or 120 dollars for a year, you can play a plethora of amazing games, including MANY day 1 releases, on gamepass. That’s cheaper than buying two brand new PlayStation exclusives.
Personally, most of the games that I care about playing are already on gamepass. Not to mention, Xbox’s backwards compatibility is much more available, and also, you can turn your series S into an emulator and play NES, GameCube, wii, N64c SNES, PS2, PS1 games, all on your Xbox series S, and it is completely legal. Not to mention the mod support for Bethesda titles is much more available on xbox also.
IMO, the ONLY reason to buy the PlayStation is for exclusives or if you are a hardcore gamer who cares deeply about specs. They have great exclusives. But keep in mind, that the exclusivity battle is going to intensify a ton in upcoming years as all future Bethesda titles will be exclusive, and now likely all Activision titles as well. Once COD is exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem, and to gamepass, if you truly think about the value, Xbox seems like a no brainer to me when talking digital gaming.
That’s just not a fair comparison 😂 The PS5 digital is the same as the disc version, The Xbox series S is not the same as the XSX
Reason for my messages, is since there are amazing options for the Series S... Please trust me!!! Take a 1080P curved or flat gaming monitor, and just play Forza Horizon 5, Fifa 22, even Battlefield 2042, and trust me you will see its glory of PC style gaming... With 120 Hz on Vanguard and few other shooter games :) :) :) :)
I personally thanks it comes down to your 📺.
As much as I love Xbox, I'd sooner get the PS5 digital edition. There's more horse power than the Series S and I'd want to get the most out of my 4K TV. In fact, I'd rather get that than the disc version of PS5.
Yeah, 2.5x the power for only 1.3x the price. No brainer
@@mog_3825 not everyone lives in the US
If u have the money then ssure
Just the info I needed. Thanks man!
It's not just Bethesda, Microsoft snapped up zenimax which covers Bethesda, Id software , arkane and machinegames. It could potentially be a Doom exclusive in the future but I have no idea if it'll go that far
Sorry, future Doom, future Wolfanstan, future Fallout will all on XBOX, PC, Switch. PS5........ 🤫
@@glennhkboy The Elder Scrolls VI is Xbox and PC exclusive what makes you think Fallout will be on a ps5. And with Doom I said potentially as we just don't know yet but Microsoft didn't spend that money for no reason
Oh god, people still think Berhesda games would be on playstation. They aren’t!! Move on
I have a series X and a big xbox fan. Do I think those games will be xvox exclusives? Yes I do. Do I think they may end up on playstation too. Yes I do. MS is a business and keeping the game exclusive to their console would be a great advantage in terms of gaining marketshare but at the same time, it's a big profit loss. We'll, to MS it probably doesn't matter much anyway
I have PS5 Blue Rey edition and Xbox series s and Samsung QN90A. I think it's the best setup I'm very happy with my setup
I dont see the point comparing the PS5 digital to the Series S. They have different business strategies. While these type of comparison would make sense to the Series X vs PS5 digital (its basically the PS5 without disk), it doesnt quite apply to the Series S. The most important point of the Series S is being affordable, available and Game Pass.
The Series S is less powerful, but a cheap entry to next gen games and XBoX ecosystem.
The PS Digital is basically the full Playstation 5 experience without disk, to make it cheaper when compared to the Series X.
Also.. Bethesda games are exclusive, its not even a question at this point anymore. Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo are timed exclusives deals before the aquisition. Why would Bethesda release Starfield only on XBoX, and later releases like Elder Scrolls, Fallout and DOOMs on both consoles? With that said its expected XBoX to have more exclusives through this generation.. its simple, they own more studios, more IPs and more money. Actually, this year is not over yet and XBoX has already released more exclusives than PS (and there is still Halo and The Gunk in December), people just dont realize it.. yet, lol.
I'm getting the ps5 with the disk drive. I already have the series s, for gamepass.
As an Xbox Beta Tester the Series S starts to shine with the implementation of Cloud Gaming. It saves on space and games just are ready in a jiff. The Series S is also great to take on vacations, bc it is easy to pack.
I have a Series X, S, and a PS5.
How did you manage to get a X and a 5💀
what the hell do you need all those for.. feeding into the capitalistic dream LMFAO
@@lumikera go to commie china and get one of there consoles then
@@jamesdonoughue4557 wut
Who buys a console only to resell it later on for a profit? Like at that point invest in something else.
That Ending was awesome
when did xbox or Microsoft ever say they weren't making Bethesda exclusive? Biggest downfall with the series is the ssd storage space with my 1tb series x it has already become a problem there can't imagine ever suggesting a series s to someone.
With the recent update and inclusion of cloud gaming, the smaller storage space becomes less of an issue-at least with MS exclusives or games on Game Pass. Depending on your bandwidth speeds, you can try or even completely play most games available on Game Pass without using any of your storage space.
@@redsident936 fair point but streaming is not an option with my apartments internet speed lol
Thank you for the review! It really helped me to make a decision. Both, my decision is both! I liked all the things you taughted about both systems. They sound great,
More than comparison I like the orchestra microphone that you are holding 😂
I recently discovered your channel and I'm very pleased with the content you release, I originally wanted a ps5 but you know how that be lol, so to my surprise on black Friday I ended up leaving my local Walmart with a series s and that was the first time I watched one of your videos. You reviewed the xbox series s and validated my purchase because I almost bought that thing without a second thought lmaoooo
You don't actually need an Xbox to play halo
I do have both consoles and I payed 550 for the ps5, but I got the Xbox for a stellar price of 240 on Amazon of all places and let me tell you guys the Xbox is fantastic for that price range. My end verdict on next gen is the ps5 is a fantastic main console but the Xbox is a great little secondary one. If you have the opportunity get either or, or both.
I would get both
I have a ps5 and just bought a series s a couple months ago. I must say I like the xbox better and I definitely play it more
I feel like the series S is genius from a marketing standpoint. Like no way I'd buy a switch over it.
I got Series S since I’m digital gamer and I wanted the Xbox exclusive I love Gears of War plus Besthda is only Xbox. I love my Series S well worth it
The touchpad on the dualsense is actually really useful. Typing takes seconds instead of several minutes and you can use it as a mouse cursor if you connect it to a pc, let's say you're in a sofa.
I’ve never been in a sofa but ok.
@@WeAreNotExperts2007 or in bed
@@Avm371998 you said in a sofa instead of on. Doesn’t really matter though I understand what you’re trying to say.
Glad you have use for it!
I personally have never yet used mine, never did on my ps4 either. I am faster typing with the joystick/d pad.
I got my S for $250 new w a game when it first came out amazing deal for what you get and the s is being utilized better today
I got both and I love them both. The S is a little beast and the P5 is crazy. I like the Dualsense controller way more though
Xbox series s better
@@christophergarland2315 For right now with what you get with Gamepass compared to PlayStation I to have to agree lol. I play my Series S more and I just got my PS5, that means alot lol
@@jmelz155 he'll ya
@@christophergarland2315 I'd have to disagree. I have both Series X and PS5 and the PS5 just wins hands down when it comes to true gaming.
@@christophergarland2315 ahh classic copium! In what world is a series a better than a PS5? Game pass doesn’t even have many good games and the ones that are good most people have played anyway. You can play all of those on PC. PS5 is 2 and a half times more powerful than a series s and can do native 4k at 60. The series s will be lucky to do 1080p at 60 fps 🤣 but yeah, keep telling yourself the series s is better 🤣
The Xbox series s actually only has like just over 300 GB of usable storage after you account for the size of the OS, this is NOT enough.
It's 364 and I haven't had a problem with it and the usable storage on the PS5 is 660, which is also no enough. The fact is you're going to have to agressively manage downloads, expand storage or, more likely, both on any console you buy. None of them have "enough" native storage in a world of 100+ GB downloads.
@@leroybrown9143 I'll agree. These current gen consoles should have come with 2tb storage MINIMUM. I understand that ssd's aren't cheap though. The 364gb in the series s is basically good enough for one install of COD and 2 other games or so, THAT'S tiny.
Do not buy the ps5 digital, and that s from a fan of Sony ..
Get the disc version ,Sony doesn't have their equivalent to the gamepass , so the digital version is a financial hole.
I m not against the idea to pay the a game full price but
1) with the digital ,you can say bye-bye to second hand game ,so you can't get some of your money back
2) always full price on their store even if you can get the physical game all new at 50$ you will pay 70$ on the playstation store no matter how much time passed.
3) if you have physical ps4 games.
You won't be able to play them and will have to pay them all over again at full price on their store even if they are 3 years old.
The series s is much better value in term of accessibility, yes you will have the same issue has the ps5 digital if you have physical xbox games.
But you have the gamepass , 1st party developer put their games for free on the gamepass and they won't go away after sometime ...no,no, they will stay forever on the gamepass
The only case where I can recommend the ps5 digital now, is for the people whom never had a Sony console and whom do not play a lot .
What I did to wait until I can get a ps5disc , I took a series s, ( first time I have a xbox console)
Or you can just wait 🤔
Yeah Spiderman Miles Morales costs 33% less on Amazon 🇮🇳 compared to PSN.
Like 80% of game sales are digital bro by next gen when the super poor can afford internet, or internet is available in unavailable areas the number will rise
Xbox S is obviously a way better choice.
There’s also one other part of the video that wasn’t mentioned Accessibility. I consider that for less than perfect sighted people the Xbox series S is a great buy. There is more accessible things for less sighted people that you can use games like gears five Forza horizon, and definitely halo infinite. The narrator on the Xbox actually lets you set up your Xbox series S with less of a hassle or having to have a sighted person help you out. It’s up for the bait if the controller on the series S is enough because the haptic feedback on the PlayStation 5DE is pretty good but at the end of the day $100 to pay for game pass. So hope next video you will include the accessibility category thanks!
You own both controllers but you forget haptic feedback on the dualsense huh???
Literally mentioned it like 3 times mate.
@@TechSpaceCowboy I don't get your POV every game I play I feel the impact of haptic feedback. How could you even put the xbox controller in the same class?? It makes no sense.
@@reactking7093 ps5 controller is a gimmick nothing special
I'm a long time PS user but with the difficulties and scalpers I decided to go with the SS when it became available. Honestly it's the best choice I could have made and game pass ultimate and the overall performance has been more then satisfying for my needs. The only investment you need to make is the SSD expansion but I'd say it's completely worth it even if it is expensive. But it will still be cheaper then a series x or PS5 with the current prices for the more powerful consoles.
Same
Just bought the series s better console in my opinion
