(Please don't dislike this comment before reading the entire thing, or at least, read the end before making your conclusion.) Ah yes, Sony still thinks you are using the D-Pad as the main way for controlling your games. And in reality, the throttle-like triggers on the Series X's controller are so much better than pressure sensitive tic-tac buttons on the PS5. Also, the PS5's shape means it cannot sit on its side, the safer position for any console, without having to use a plastic chair. While the series X, just sits on its side like a dream because its a box, and not a super sleek but impractical design that is the PS5. In addition, the PS5's controllers cannot be used on a PC without having to set it up via bluetooth, while the X's controllers work like a dream. You just plug it into your usb via the micro usb port on the top of the controller. And, the PS5's batteries cannot be removed, while the X controller can swap standard AA and rechargeable AA without any issue. The biggest issue with the PS5, however, is that rather than having one massive highly reliable vent on the top, it has tons of tiny vents that get clogged with lint and dust over time, causing it to overheat within a few years. That was the problem with the XBOX 360, the Playstation 2, 3, 4, and the 4 PRO, and Microsoft fixed the overheating problem simply by putting one big vent on top of all their successors for any game console they made. And why does Sony still think that XO□∆ is a good setup for what would normally be ABXY. It may be much more universal, but just saying "Press the B button" is less confusing than "Press O, or the circle button, or the red button." Finally, Sony thinks its OK to have the PS5 controller still have a big button that takes up so much of the controller, that it serves more as a drink coaster than an input, while Microsoft just makes one, small, but easily identifiable X in the middle of the controller, and doesn't bother with making the controller look super sleek and futuristic that ends up being $70 rather than $60. *_(Sorry for the rant, you can clearly see I am biased to XBOX being the best and saying the PS5 is the worst, but I did name a few points that really make the PS5 simply not as good in the long run as the Series X. That does not make the PS5 worse as a system, if you like the Playstation, go for it, but if you are looking for something that in the end will be better than the PS5, the XBOX Series X has more bang for your buck.)_* Edit: You may not be able to buy both at the moment due to scalpers, but when the time finally comes, you chose what you think is best for you. You shouldn't be listening to me, or hating on me for downplaying Sony, just keep it in mind that this will be a purchase that will really matter, as it is something you will enjoy playing on for 5 years or more. Pick what you prefer, or what you are loyal to, and learn from the mistakes that either one may or may not bring upon you.

[@proficientplumbus]

I will eventually get both, however I'm going for a series X first. I don't have the luxury of getting games and consoles from parents anymore so gamepass is quite an attractive offer.

[@demonsweatthings8493]

Mark Lomonte makes sense since this will probably be seen by the console crowd who aren’t per say “tech enthusiasts” and people who don’t understand specs and whatnot. Most console players don’t even know what fps/frame rate is. But from the beginning LTT has been a very in depth tech centred channel. I expect to hear everything. I don’t really want the channel to shift into really broad, generalizations, to cater to a greater audience just so more people come on board. I wanted a longer video. Just because they wanted the regular layperson to keep engaged, I don’t think they should have skimmed on the detail the vast majority of their viewer base expects. Hopefully it’s just the one video.
