Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a conundrum here in making a decision for myself. I'm looking for a game console I can play at work, and it's come down to the Xbox Series X and the Nintendo Switch. Honestly would have chosen the PS5 but they're like finding a unicorn or a needle in a haystack, so that's out of the question.

So, a little bit of backstory for the reasons it came down to the Nintendo Switch and the Xbox Series X. I'm a firefighter and I'm at the Station for 48 hour shifts, after I'm finished with chores and stuff, I'm able to sit down and play games or do whatever. I'm a dedicated PC gamer, and mostly play that at home, so this console isn't really going to be used a ton outside of work. I've done a fair bit of research on the two, and I'm not entirely sure which one I should get or would be better for me.

On one hand, the Switch is cheaper than the Xbox Series X, but has less games and weaker hardware, resolution and FPS. But it also has Legend of Zelda and Pokemon games. On the other, the Xbox has stronger hardware, tons of games and backwards compatibility with older Xbox games and Xbox Game Pass, but is nearly 2x the cost of a Switch.

Maybe hearing some opinions will help me make up my mind?

Edit: After much deliberation, I initially settled on a Switch. However, when I went to the store to buy, I offhandedly joked with the cashier if they hid any Playstation 5s in the back. Turns out that they did, so I ended up getting a Playstation 5 instead. Probably for the best, I was thinking back to when I bought a 3DS for the same reason. Turns out I just liked the thought of playing Pokemon again, and wasn't much interested in actually doing it. Anyway, thanks for your opinions and help on making my mind up, I still appreciate it.

With the playstation showcase tomorrow and the xbox showcase on june 11 I thought it would be interesting to look which first party games both companies have released on console since the launch of the current gen consoles in november 2020. Take a look at all games that arrived for the first time on console, at older console games that were re-released as native current gen versions, remasters or 1:1 remakes, at games that were delayed and at the metacritic scores of all releases. For those interested I also included sale numbers and player numbers which includes subscriptions.

New full game releases that weren`t available on PS/XBOX in some (complete) form before release:

Playstation (12):

  • Marvel`s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5 MC: 85) (6.5 million+ sales)

  • Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS5 MC: 79)

  • Destruction AllStars (PS5 MC: 62)

  • MLB The Show 21 (PS5 MC: 78) (4 million+ players)*

  • Returnal (PS5 MC: 86) (560 thousand+ sales)

  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5 MC: 88) (1.1 million+ sales)

  • Horizon Forbidden West (PS5 MC: 88) (8.4 million+ sales)

  • Gran Turismo 7 (PS5 MC: 87) (estimated 5-6 million sales)

  • MLB The Show 22 (PS5 MC: 77)*

  • God of War Ragnarok (PS5 MC: 94) (11 million+ sales)

  • Horizon Call of the Mountain (PS5 MC: 79)

  • MLB The Show 23 (PS5 MC: 82)*

*Includes three entries of a sport franchise with yearly releases

85 + 79 + 62 + 78 + 86 + 88 + 88 + 87 + 77 + 94 + 79 + 82 = 985 : 12 = 82,08 = 82 average rating

Honorable mention, because it is a short game that is pre-installed on every PS5 console:

Astro`s Playroom (PS5 MC: 83)

85 + 79 + 62 + 78 + 86 + 88 + 88 + 87 + 77 + 94 + 79 + 82 + 83 = 1068 : 13 = 82,15 = 82 average rating

Xbox (12 + 1 PC only title):

  • Gears Tactics (XSXS MC: 82)*

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator (XSX MC: 90)*

  • Psychonauts 2 (XSXS MC: 87)

  • Forza Horizon 5 (XSXS MC: 92) (28 million+ players)

  • Halo Infinite (XSXS MC: 87) (20 million+ players)

  • As Dusk Falls (XSXS MC: 77)

  • Grounded (XSXS MC: 82)**

  • Pentiment (XSXS MC: 86)

  • Hi-Fi Rush (XSXS MC: 87) (2 million+ players)

  • Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (XSXS MC: 86)*

  • Minecraft Legends (XSXS MC: 71) (3 million+ players)

  • Redfall (XSXS MC: 56)

  • Age of Empires IV (PC MC: 81)

*Includes three games that were available on PC before arriving for the first time on Xbox

**Includes one game that was available in early access before full release

Without PC only title:

82 + 90 + 87 + 92 + 87 + 77 + 82 + 86 + 87 + 86 + 71 + 56 = 983 : 12 = 81,92 = 82 average rating

With PC only title:

82 + 90 + 87 + 92 + 87 + 77 + 82 + 86 + 87 + 86 + 71 + 56 + 81 = 1064 : 13 = 81,85 = 82 average rating

Honorable mention, because it makes that game available for the first time on Xbox:

GoldenEye 007

Comparison:

Amount of full game releases: Tie

Quality of games based on ratings: Tie

1:1 remakes of games that were available on earlier PS/XBOX generations:

Games are optimized for controllers.

Some gamers swear by the keyboard and mouse, but it's clear that video games were meant to be played with a controller. There's a reason why the most influential video game product — the Nintendo Entertainment System — was a console with a controller. If the keyboard and mouse were really superior, wouldn't one of the eight generations of consoles have come with those instead of gamepads?

02

Consoles are built for relaxation.

Want to play games on your TV from your couch? That's what consoles are for. Sure, you can hook a PC up to a TV, but don't pretend like that process is particularly streamlined. Even PCs with HDMI ports need to get relocated from the desk to the living room, and that's a hassle you'll never have to deal with when it comes to consoles.

03

Console gaming equals easy online multiplayer.

All consoles are built with painless ways to connect with friends and get gaming within minutes. You don't have to worry about server connections or matchmaking — you just jump online and play. 04

Automatic updates!

If your game needs a patch, or if your console's operating system needs a fix, the updates are downloaded automatically. How's that for convenience? Compare this to PCs, where you have to download and install patches and drivers manually. 05

Two words: console exclusives.

Want to play the latest Mario game? You'd better have a Nintendo console. The same goes for Uncharted on Sony's PlayStation consoles and almost every installment of the Halo franchise on Microsoft's Xbox consoles. If you're PC-only, you're pretty much out of luck. You can only emulate so many console classics, and they'll probably be buggy as hell. What Drives You?

Why do you think consoles are better than PCs? If you're interested in a good laugh, check out Josh Smith's hilarious "5 Reasons PC Gaming is Better Than Console Gaming" article.

"hilarious"

My input....

  1. You realise you can use a controller on PC.

  2. You can use controllers and build a desktop pc that is very small... Heck even a laptop certainly. You sayin' console gamers dont need to move their precious HDMI cable and plug them in as well?!?! ARE YOU LAZY?

  3. You are you saying you dont like choices? You can do them ALL on STEAM with EASE. WITHOUT swapping DISCS.

Automatic Updates? doesnt Steam do that for me? ROFL.

5. Console Exclusives??? you KIDDING? I bet when he mention ours? you'll ignore it and say thats stupid it isnt AAA... T_T FYI IF you justify your console for a few game because of; LOOK WAHT I GOT VS you GOT; you gotta re-evaluate the purpose of getting your machine....

3. Maybe people like choices? You know consoles do have hackers as well?

I think these articles are clickbaits and are in the attempt of media brainwashing.

In another article

http://wdc.com/ventito/gaming/ideas/5-reasons-pc-gaming-is-better-than-console-gaming

(Wow the author left out Exclusives and Automatic Updates... wow...) Its like they think PC exclusives are another skill due to consoles having cinematic storytelling.

COOL he acknowledges his oppenent author's fault; "Rubin's totally misguided article"

From now on we will be handing out more significant bans and keeping our eyes open for console warring and general toxicity.

This includes things like

  • Poking fun at another fanbase for no reason

  • Instigating console warring comments for no reason

  • Calling someone a fanboy because of their opinion

  • REPLYING to someone else who started a console warring comment chain by joining in the console warring/toxic comments, that's on you.

If you're not talking about the topic of the thread, and you're just commenting something like"Xbox/Playstation fanboys are going to have a field day with this one!" you will be banned.

This subreddit is for talking and speculating about gaming leaks and rumors, and the future of gaming projects. We're not here to debate over fanbases and we're not going to support that.

Even if "Someone else started it!" you will be banned. Don't contribute to console wars. Your first offense will be at least 5 days, and it will move up to permanent on multiple offenses.

Furthermore if your account has a history of console warring or being toxic and we see your comments are continuing this trend, you're going to get shadow-banned and we're not going to tell you about it.

The community has voiced their opinion that this place has too much console warring going on and we agree, so we're stepping up to do something about it.

Don't contribute to console warring, taunting, teasing, poking fun, or anything else at fanbases of certain consoles.

Even if your comment has a thousand upvotes, if its contributing to any of these, you will be banned.

Even if you you're responding to a toxic user who is console warring and you respond with toxic console warring towards them, you will be banned. Two wrongs dont make a right. Just downvote, report, and move on.

Thanks!

Howdy r/Games. A new generation of consoles is kicking off and to celebrate we will be creating a series of megathreads for specific topics related to each console's launch. We will keep this thread stickied for the coming days as a hub for all of the discussions we create (since reddit has restrictions for how many threads can be stickied at once). We will have user impression threads, technical issue threads, launch hype threads and much more. We are excited for the launches and a lot of us will be gaming it up - if we let anything slip through the cracks give us a shout in modmail, if you'd like to hangout and chat with some of the r/Games users or moderators, we have a Discord server you can jump into.
