The Xbox Series X is better for gamers than the PS5 and I'm starting to get mad.
Although I have been in love with PS5 since its launch, my enthusiasm for the system has started to slowly decline. Playstation 5 is a great console with some great features, but one negative aspect is beginning to become very clear: In terms of game value, ps5 cannot compete with microsoft's xbox x series. That's why I find myself playing Xbox X Series more than PS5.
I've noticed that the xbox x x series is more cost effective than the ps5. Frankly speaking, just five months after the launch of the two consoles, the difference has greatly widened. In fact, it makes the sony exclusivity strategy look very outdated and offside.
On the other hand, microsoft doesn't matter whether you buy an x-series or an s-series. With xbox Game Pass and xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the company has opened hundreds of games for xbox consoles, PCs, Android phones, and soon ios devices and browsers. For gamers, this means there are few barriers to entry, which anyone interested in an xbox or playing a game can do; Even those who only have a PS5 or Nintendo switch may own a PC, a Mac or a smartphone. Microsoft makes money from everyone and has made great strides on the left.
Unlike Microsoft, sony must sell you PS5 if you want to make money. Unable to do business with users without hardware. There is no other way than to stream some ps4, ps3, and ps2 games through the cloud or buy some ps4 ports from pc players that subscribe to ps now. In addition, after many years of console generation, sony usually does not benefit from hardware. Traditionally, software sales, plug-ins, subscriptions and even accessories provide the greatest benefits.
Strategic battle
It is clear that Sony has won millions of consoles 5 thanks to innovative dual controls, a range of attractive exclusive titles and competitive prices. PS4's huge success with Sony also helped create inertia in the marketplace.
But once sony sells ps5 to you, it needs to turn the hardware loss into profit. So it's no wonder that the most attractive sony products-their exclusive game series-are now costing $70, or that they continue to sign exclusive deals with outside publishers, such as Plaza enix for Games Fanty 16. It also tries to make Playstation Plus more attractive by offering PS5 owners 20 free games. Now ps has added the option to download games, although its library is still pale compared to xbox Game Pass, and there is no PS5 title available. In contrast, Microsoft Services optimized 37 titles for the X/S family of xboxes, a number that will continue to grow.
Microsoft, on the other hand, is in a completely different position. Just trying to attract more xbox game pass subscribers. If it can sell hardware, it is a huge and obviously profitable advantage, but it no longer relies solely on it because it is Sony.
I'm worried about a company's profits and losses, but these different strategies are affecting consumers.
So, as a PS5 fan, I'm worried that Microsoft's approach will benefit players. Like me, gamers just want to play more games.
Xbox game pass can not be ignored
Just as netflix transformed the film and television industries, so the xbox game pass was an earthquake for video games.
The main reason I open the Xbox X Series almost every night is that there is always something to play with, it has just appeared, or has been recently optimized for the X and S Series.
The Microsoft Subscription service allows you to access hundreds of games for $9.99 a month. In addition, if you want to have it forever and get a 10% discount on downloadable content, you can buy any available games at a 20% discount.
Subscribers can also access all xbox game studio titles from day one, including games such as Gears 5, thieves, forza horizon 4 and upcoming games such as halo infinite, everwild and forza motor. Now bethesda.
This alone is enough to get some people to subscribe, but microsoft makes the service even more irresistible by ensuring more and more noticeable third-party titles. Outsider and baseball simulator mlb: The 21st show-limited to Playstation so far-is available on the xbox Game Pass from day one. Octopath Traveler is one of the best Nintendo Switch games and is also available. If you want to play outsider or mlb: On show 21 on PS5, you'll have to pay $60 and $70 for these great titles.
Less expense, more fun
In addition, there is the xbox game pass final, which costs $14.99 and the stakes are even higher, almost reaching unfathomable levels. By subscribing to xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can get all of the above, as well as access to xbox Game Pass on pc, xbox live (if you want to play online, you need it), xbox Cloud Gaming (beta), advantages of various games and ea play. If you are a person who likes to play on any platform, no matter where you are, this is an insurmountable suggestion
To get the equivalent of a PS5 experience, you'll need to pay $9.99 per month for PS +, now $9.99 for PS +, and $4.99 per month. For a total of $24.97 per month, you can't access cloud games to play Android devices or download and play PS4 or PS5 games on your PC.
Not to mention that you have fewer games, you have to pay for almost all games, especially new ones. When games like mlb appear: Exclusive for Number 21 or Big Playstation, you'll need to pay an additional $70 on top of the $24.97 monthly fee-a total of $94.97, 84% more than the flat rate of $14.99 for the xbox, offering a free premiere as Infinity Halo.
Bad deal.
For someone who basically only spends disposable income on video games-one day should buy new clothes-this price difference is too big to ignore.
That's why I found myself using the xbox x series in bed after falling in love with ps5. Now I can play more games, and I don't need to spend more to experience most of them.
No matter how good the PS5 is, it's starting to look like luxury shopping. Whenever I start ps5, I want to play a new game. Fortunately, ps plus provides some control success: Ultimate version, oddworld: Soul Storm and All-Star Destruction (games that will initially cost $70), but the offer is very short. On the other hand, Microsoft constantly provides reasons to open the console.
Also, there are the features of the xbox x x series-such as the fps booster-which makes me feel like I'm getting more for my money. Xbox also has a clever reward system that encourages you to play games and complete tasks to earn Microsoft reward points. You can then redeem them by taking part in the competition or just getting an xbox credit. Basically, Microsoft is "paying" you to play.
It seems that Sony is content to sit down until his next great title appears. This is not enough to justify the purchase of the $499 console. When competitors do their best to please their user base.
Even if Sony shows his most generous side-like his free game initiative in home pandemic games-the games they offer tend to be games fans are sure to have played, or are already too old. The exclusive game given to you is meaningless. If you have a Playstation, ' Who hasn't played ratchet& Underground, horizon: Zero Leon Lai Ming or Unnamed 4? I would say not a lot of people, because that's why a lot of people bought the Playstation 4.
Sony, give us what we want
Sony must do more. Playstation Plus is still a valuable service. At present, it is the only way to get ps5 games without paying full price. But the current Playstation is still an unattractive proposal.
Sony doesn't offer the first-party game of ps now. If they appear, it is usually months or years later. In addition, ps now only allows subscribers to access ps4, ps2 and ps3 games. The latter can only be played through streaming media.
Sony is unlikely to put its prized exclusive product on Playstation Plus from day one, as it is their business model.
Now is the time for Sony to do more to satisfy his fans than just try to capture new users or put them in competition with one or two top exclusive resellers. Even Nintendo, a stingy company notorious for discounts and sales, seems to have a better offer.
As things stand, the impression of PS5 is that it's only for people who have the money to burn, not all of the superficial and financially situated players who should be very concerned.
