I have been mainly playing PC for the last couple years so I had no reason to buy a new console. I started playing on PlayStation 1&2 as a kid, but switched when I got my 360. I stayed loyal to Xbox and bought an Xbox One in like 2016. It’s been a complete unit and held on for 10 years. But with GTA6 coming out, my trusty Xbox One needs to be replaced.
The question is, PS5 Pro or Xbox series X?
From what I’ve seen the performance is relatively the same. The thing that is tilting the scale towards PS5 is the digital backwards compatibility. They have a lot more niche games from the ps2 era than Xbox does. The thing that makes me hesitant the switch is the fact that I can use the Xbox controllers that I have for the series x. Not to mention all the games I have purchased on the Microsoft store. I know that I can continue to play my xbox games on my PC. The only one that I can’t is GTA V. I already transferred my online account to s/x via cloud gaming.
I’m also worried about the whole PS digital only thing so that makes me hesitant as well.
Another thing that I’m worried about is the fact that I’m jumping into this generation of consoles fairly late. It’s looking like the next gen is coming out in a year or so.
I just wish they had GTA 6 on PC at launch because I wouldn’t even need to worry about it.
Any advice would be much appreciated, if I’m going to spend almost $1k on a console I want to make the right decision.
