I'll take the bait. I consider both consoles evenly matched but from the perspective of Sony diehard it's quite attractive value proposition:

  • I don't care about first party exclusives because I've played enough Naughty Dog games by now. Third party ones will come eventually as always.

  • I didn't own any Xbox consoles up until now so it's a treasure trove thanks to backwards compatibility. Especially when plenty of X360 games run 4k60.

  • Game Pass is cool although new Microsoft games seem to be released in quite barebone state.

  • The console itself can be quite cheap where I live, got an XSX bundle with Diablo 4 for ~$450. Game Pass Ultimate with Live Gold tricks is like ~$70 for 2 years. If you want to get really cheap, region change to Turkey, buy rechargeable Visa and enjoy everything being -50% off all the time.

Yeah those are all solid reasons to buy then. I agree with you fully.

I prefer the curves though and that's where my argument ends so you win lol
