Xbox Series X will be the most powerful console with BC and cloud gaming but Playstation 5 will likely have quality and quantity of games. Don't know if they'll continue getting third party exclusives but their exclusive IP'a will probably be expanding even more! Just found out PS5 will be getting an exclusive wrestling game, which will be the 2and exclusive PS wrestling game and both by different developers/publishers.
So does all that change your plans and you will now get both consoles or still getting just one but maybe switching sides than expected?
where did you hear that about the exclusive wrestling games for PS5?
I do like wrestling games, and I am getting tired of the WWE monopoly with their increasingly stale WWE 2K offerings.
so, if the PS5 is getting not one but two exclusive wrestlers, that could be important to me.
anyways, outside of that, I've switched back to PS5, now that they are a bit clearer on the BC issue. And, to your point, it's about the games, and it's hard to ignore that. Every time I try to walk away from Playstation and just stick with Xbox, I can't do it because I'm always reminded of something that I can only play on Playstation.
Case in point, Persona 5 Royal this week and Final Fantasy VII Remake in a few weeks. I tried hard to resist both, thinking I'll just skip P5 Royal since I already played the original game, and I'll just wait for FF7R to release on Xbox next year. But, I just couldn't do it. I've also been enjoying playing Granblue Fantasy Versus and there is the new Guilty Gear game out on PS4 later in the year. These are all things I can't play on Xbox.
if the PS5 is $100 cheaper, that would also sway my decision to get that first. I'm also assuming that, once they get the BC down, I'll be able to play all the PS4 games I'm interested in on the PS5.
with all that being said, depending on the price, the quality of launch titles, and the state of BC at launch, I may be more inclined to just wait until next year or later before buying either new console.
there's still plenty of games, both new and backlogged, to enjoy on my current consoles. so, unless either new console gives me a solid reason to want to upgrade now, I may just hold off and wait.
