Still trying to decide between the PS5 or the Xbox, I don't play online whatsoever, prefer single player games. I've always carried a PS, but the Xbox in terms of tech is looking more appealing. Just worried about the exclusives which have been historically piss poor (I hate Halo and GOW). | What games do you play mostly? If you've got a gaming PC I would say it's probably safe to skip the Xbox as microsoft will probably release their exclusives for both PC and XBOX next gen. Personally, all my friends play on ps5 and gran turismo alone can sway me more towards the ps5. If you've got a lot of ps4 games, the upscaling feature on the ps5 is pretty nice as well. A lot of first party ps4 titles will now run on 4k60 and some will have better textures/lighting.

Maybe one day Xbox can get out of the hardware business, release a Game Pass app on PlayStation and we can all be happy without having to buy two different consoles lol...
There's no way I'm buying an Xbox on top of a PlayStation 5, nor am I going to buy a PC, but if they made a way where I can stream Game Pass and all I need to buy is a controller and perhaps a small box or stick I'd consider that.

I'm sure they'll come out with an app for TVs eventually.

So 100% of my gaming will be on console. I need something that can satiate that completely.
Game Pass is looking quite good with Xbox as well, I'm just on the fence as I've always owned a PS, never an Xbox.
Making the jump feels like moving from Apple to Android here
The exclusives Skinny posted look far better on Xbox here, which is historically not the case.
In terms of games I play, single player primarily, Action/RPG, RPG, turn-based strategy primarily.
I'm not quite a fan of the Japanese exclusives on PS, recently play the FF7 Remake, and absolutely hated it. Can't really get into the Yakuza games either, I find it all too childish for my tastes.
I still can't decide here, it sounds like I'm leaning Xbox? Blah, I can't believe I'm saying that.

Ooooweeee!
I was just reading the new Xbox will have full keyboard/mouse support, obviously the game will need to allow that though.
That's HUGE for me, I can't play FPS games on a controller, if Xbox games will allow the use of a USB mouse and keyboard, I'm all in, no need for a gaming PC.
This is a HUGE factor I haven't heard discussed here.

For those that got their Xbox Series X today, double check your warranty expiration date. Mine was set to my pre-order date back in Sept 22/2021 instead of Nov 10/2021. I had to contact Xbox support and they are looking into the issue and it should be corrected in the next few days.

The one thing I'd watch with kb/m on a console is whether it properly supports the ones you want to use. I imagine basic right click/left click/WASD is fine but stuff like mapping extra mouse keys or changing DPI might not work.

I think it depends on the game. I know for modern warfare as an example, you could plug in any mkb and it would work. They also sell adapters for mkb but imo it's kind of cheating. In fps' it gives you aim assist with mkb precision.
In other news....amazon updated me with a delivery date of Nov13-16. Though I hope this is just a place holder date.

Kb mouse use was game dependant tho, unless you had a programmable kb like the one ya linked, but I never bothered using a kb because it had to be wired, and I sit way too far

Grabbing copy of Demon's Souls later. Contemplating if I want Yakuza 7 on PS5 or PC now.

Amazon completely dropped the ball. My order is stuck on "shipping now" and I dont think anyone in BC received one on launch day. Zero communication as well. On the upside the new cod releases today which is nice I guess.

Got mine delivered from Canada Post, was an original order from London Drugs. Didn't really get a chance to play anything just transferred games over and save files. Looking for a copy of Spider-Man tomorrow.

Demon Souls looks amazing. Currently playing on Performance Mode which is 1440/60 and it's not too noticeable a downgrade in quality vs. the Cinematic Mode that's 4K/30.
