Full backwards compatible would be incredible! I hope Microsoft goes back and makes more games backwards compatible. They own so many publishers now and they could work something out with the publishers. They managed to get all the call of duty games on Xbox One/Series and Activision even sees the value in backwards compatible and extra sales off old games

Having the Series X and S, a PS5, and a nice gaming PC I still go for the Series X above the others (mainly because of the comfort of my couch vs my PC desk chair). It really comes down to where you built your library last generation though as people will stay where their money is invested and may not have the ability to own both consoles. I've always been team XBOX and PC. Having the Play Anywhere and Game Pass Ultimate is just a better deal than what Sony offers. The PS5 is nice don't get me wrong. Once you've played through those first party single player titles you aren't left with anything unique on the PS5 (again unless that's where your digital\physical library is) that just makes you stick with it other than the promise of more first party single player titles in the same franchises or hopefully a new one that will catch fire. Those games are good and only a few really lived up to the hype for me and I can only play through them two or three times before the novelty or the story fail to keep my interest. I feel the XBOX gives you more and has a stronger backwards compatibility library that let's you go back and grab games from the OG XBOX that you maybe never played and there's some real gems there as well. I also run RetroArch on my Series S and that's something Sony can't do as well.

[@omulamfibie]

Facts, most people disregard this now, especially since more and more people are going full digital instead of disk-owned. It's been one of my consideration points and I'm still undecided, but I'll probably go with Series X, as I've previously owned an Xbox One S and have a library of over 100 games owned. Plus, gamepass is just unbeatable at its price.

[@benderlopez2076]

I like your comment and the points you made. I’ve always had PlayStation except the first Xbox only for some time before it died. I had a time in life from like 2018-2022 where I was thinking to myself gaming was foolish. Then last year at some point my interest spiked again all around in the gaming world. Original ps4 was is still working to this day but I wanted something new. In November I bought my first real gaming pc and I put good money into it. Ran into a lot of different issues so I was feeling down, so I got a ps5 which was random but great in maybe February ? I don’t have a lot of time to game it cause work and family but it’s nice having the pc and ps5, I have since fixed the pc and it runs but I get indie games on it and save the triple A for console. Ps5 has been sitting since I finished rdr2. A close friend has a series s and I play it here and there. For some reason I want a Xbox x now. Also like you said , gaming at the desk with a pc can be hard at times, that’s where my ps5 is. So now I want the console where I can just lounge on a couch.

[@CasSanchez-rq8dh]

I had PS5 but my kid wanted an Xbox so I got them a series s, I have series x and switch. Next gen I want a gaming pc. I didn’t care for Sony and PlayStation.

[@Gamevet]

You forgot to add 4K movies, with HDR and Dolby Atmos.

[@GarrettMusic1]

True!

[@ghtraining1]

I actually play my xbox SERIES S way more than my ps5. Like you mentioned I found a lot of my ps3 collection for cheap with 360 games on the Microsoft store. But gamepass. You can't beat playing Forza 5, Forza Motorsport sport and many other great games on day 1. Just downloaded NBA2k24 and MLB the show 24 just now. Yes games look a little better on ps5 but it's not that much of a difference imo. At least for the types of games I play

[@user-ub9zd1lo6d]

I bought the Series X with extra controller, rechargeable battery backs, 3 TB expansion storage, Turtle Beach Wireless and Bluetooth compatible headset, Backbone for my phone on the go. I can literally play my Xbox anywhere as long as I have my phone or Microsoft surface with me. Power house eco system.

[@winlover37]

The enhanced backwards compatibility can't be understated, it really is incredible. I played 4 player split screen on Black Ops 2 and I'm not joking when I say it was perfectly clear to look at and buttery smooth 60 FPS, even in Zombies! I don't need to tell you how that's not possible on original hardware. It's too bad I needed to sell my Series X to pay bills, I'll get another one someday.

[@OcarinaHero93]

I’ve owned the Series X since 2021 and so far here are my pros and cons. Pros: Backwards compatibility Media: renting or buying shows and movies on the Microsoft store Graphics: top of the line specs in the console market. Controller: ergonomic and familiar. UI: simple Cons: Lack of first party games

[@sergeesteves]

there's still more first party games than playstation. Only in 2024: indiana jones, helblade 2 , avowed, ara, towerborne, dlc starfiield, age of mitholgy, new flight simulator ans some third party like stalker 2, ark 2, etc.... 0 First party games for playstation until march 2025. And on pros, you dont'talk about gamepass ?

[@zacheryyoung9426]

I rather like gamepass and the choices there. I have ps+ and not near as many games as game pass, sorry buy true.

[@MackDaddyVic]

If it wasn’t for the lack of games, it could have easily been my console of choice. But Microsoft is being lazy asses and not giving us any new games so PS5 it is then!

[@elitetunnel7413]

[@ravajbains8672]

I bought the Xbox Series X specifically for the backwards compatibility and cheaper games lol even though its apparently dead. Also I love the OG Xbox because of its modding scene from 2005 era when i got into it like back 2006-7 after getting one cheap. But before then I considered myself a PlayStation Fanboy but somehow have supported Xbox lol just because of its hacking etc 😅 😂

[@buddhabinaural]

I'm starting to get a bit pissed off with my Series X. I bought it to compliment my Switch (and PC, PS4 and WiiU), except nothing comes out on it, meaning I'm just using my Switch and occasionally the others for everything. Next 5 games I plan on buying Trails From Zero, Trails Through Daybreak, Reynatis, Tokyo Xanadu Ex and Ys X. Not one of them coming to Series X. What's the fucking point? No Tales games, no fuck all when it comes to RPG's. I don't understand why an entire genre is being left off the console. No Star Ocean SSR2. No Octopath. There are literally no RPG's. They're even coming out on PS4 still but for some reason Xbox can't manage. All the games I'm actually enjoying on Xbox are all on the other platforms too. It's just redundant to me.

[@zacheryyoung9426]

How much trash or dust does that thing suck in because the holes on the top are massive. I try to keep it protected from dust the best I can but I was hoping that wouldn't be a problem in the future . Can you give any advice on what to do as far as that goes?

[@WeWaltRun]

@@zacheryyoung9426 the fans at the top of the Xbox blow outwards, so it shouldn't suck anything up. Keep your place clean, vacuum regularly and don't worry about it. Seems like you should clean your Xbox once every 18-24 months from what I have seen online.

[@PrincePakiso-rh2wz]

It's because the Xbox Series X is the tenth generation of the Xbox console. The "X" in "Xbox Series X" stands for the Roman numeral "10", which is the number of generations that the Xbox has gone through. The first Xbox console was released in 2001, so the Xbox Series X is the tenth console in the Xbox family, hence the name "Xbox Series X" or "Xbox 10".

If you haven’t owned an Xbox or been a PS fanboy like me. Yes it’s amazing! Who would ever think quick resume would be such an upgrade compared to the PS5. The gamepass comes with EA. I always thought PS was better cause of the exclusives but I’ve only played every god of war. Not worth it. Controllers Xbox is friendlier, camera any Logitech works unlike PS. The downloading takes for ever on Xbox compared to PS5. I’ll say both consoles have the games I play. I’ve always said sport games look a lot if not way Better then PS. PS movie type games look so real a cinematic type of feel. Unlike the Xbox the story type games look cartoonish…

do not buy this trash. we constantly have issues even logging into our profile. we get constant white screen issues on login across the majority of accounts on the xbox. the only fix is apparently a soft reset, which we refuse to do due to how many save files arent yet backed up on cloud, which we cant do, because it wont let us login to said profile to back up the data.... also, It took us hours to play even a single game when we bought this device and its been nothing but a nightmare ever since. our handheld lenovo legion go plays games better than this hunk of junk and never has any bugs to deal with. steer clear of xbox. Their consoles these days are a convoluted mess. I spend more time troubleshooting than playing on this device. im shocked more people havent made a fuss about this. Microsoft and their ridiculous updates are constantly making their devices unusable. the 360 may be slower and less powerful, but atleast it functioned.... ever since the xbox one, their consoles have become so complicated to get working that you may aswell just get a PC. this is a console! Its supposed to be relatively plug and play! microsoft seems to have forgotten that.
