Did the PS5 and PS5 Pro rumor ever get confirmed?
 
since Sony has only talked about, and revealed specs for, one PS5 model, I'd say no. of course, we still don't even know what that looks like, haha.

but so far, neither company has officially said anything about a 2nd console model.
 
Can you now download games from PS Now or is it still stream based? How do the titles compare to xbox gamepass? I only hear/read buzz on gamepass!

PS Now or Xbox Gamepass will be very important for me next gen as I'll probably be buying even less games per year and rely more on those services and EA Access

If I am not mistaken...that is actually how PsNow started, which made it hugely unpopular. It was launched with only the option to download games, and only on an hourly basis (so you would be renting it). The only time I ever tried it was the 7 day free trial when they finally launched the streaming option, and I stopped using it after that since then. But I imagine the option to download would still be there.

What about now?
 
Both are looking great but which I get first depends on prices and that's still a mystery
 
I dont mean to go on a rant or sound like i am, but the PS5, both in design and game wise, has already blown the series X out of the water. Microsoft still seems bent on making the same mistakes they did with their last generation, and I think PS5 is going to be the dominate console this generation, like the PS4 was to the last.
 
Still getting both but PS5 is first for sure.
 
Is Spider-Man: Miles Morales a dlc story expansion or a stand alone game? That would be a major launch game for PS5. Said it was coming Holiday 2020
 
I'm cool with that and so yeah an awesome launch title
 
The prices have not gone up in more than 20 years. I'm surprised they haven't gone up already.
 
I'm doubting a $60 price tag, but all I know is that it's a fantastic launch title. Been aching to get back into the insomniac Spider-Man world, so this is a dream come true. I ended up skipping the DLC because i didn't see it as worth it, but this? This is totally worth it.
 
Don't know when or if before xbox but I'll definitely be getting PS5. Just not sure about which version. I'm all digital and it'll likely be cheaper but I like having options

Because they make up the money on the backend. Most games nowadays come with some form of DLC, season pass, expansion, re-release, etc.... The publishers are likely making more than the inital $60 per game on average by year 2 of a release
 
This might be early to predict, but I definitely think this neXtgen would be the end of Xbox. It would follow the footsteps of the endof Sega's home console, Sony's handheld and the Wii. I just can't see more people prefering Series X to Ps5, after the sales of Ps4 tripled the sales of Xbox One. While the games that are available to Series X that arent available to Ps5, wouldbe released to PC at the same time as Series X. So whyget a Series X when you already have a powerful computer that isn't just for gaming. With ps5, they already have a handful of exclusivesfor the first two years and it looks like Sony will maintain their momentum. There's just no eXclusivity with Xbox and that wouldhurt them even more. I don't care if Series X is going to be cheaper or more powerful if I can't play thelatest Spider-Man, Horizon and whatever games that are only available in Ps.

I do think PS5 will be preferred again but won't necessarily be the end of xbox. We shall see post july ms show after seeing their first party plans and more info on the console
 
I think Xbox would be lucky to survive the next generation. It just seemslike for every 1 to 2 generation,there's a console that is being phased out andnot get a successor. I also think streaming games without a home console would hurt Xbox more. Plus Xbox being owned by Microsoft isn't helping it especially most Xbox games are accessible to Pc. I just don't see the future of gaming with a lot of options for home consoles especially if Xbox continues to operate the way that they do now. Theirmarket share is getting smaller and smaller. I feel like switch is already the second option as a home console after the Ps, unless Switch fizzles out quickly like the Wii.
 
I'm digital but am curious what the next gen game boxes and covers will be like. I have to admit to really liking PS3 and PS4's boxes and logos.
 
The smaller Xbox series X looks cute. However "XboX Series X" is just not a good name at all. The good thing with Playstation 5 is its just "PS5" in marketing/branding, simple and direct. Xbox Series X is too long. I feel like in terms of marketing/branding, Ps5 is already doing so much better.

I hope the disc case of ps5 is the same as Ps4's case, better if its smaller. While the banner at the top of the box art, I prefer if its thinner.
