I keep flipping between XSX and PS5. Price isn't much of a factor as long as they're within $100 of each other, but there's a few arguments for each.
I decided on XSX at first because I already have investment in the Xbox ecosystem with my XOX. Halo is my all time favorite franchise and I really like the value of Gamepass as somebody who doesn't buy as many games as I used to. I also prefer the hardware aesthetic because all of my hardware sits out in the open where me and my family have to look at it every day. My XOX is tucked upright between some large books and it blends in perfectly. The Halo: Infinite reveal will probably be the deciding factor if it's XSX enhancements compared to XOX seem worth it.
On the other hand, I did not have a PS4 this gen and missed out on a bunch of single player exclusives. Especially Spider-Man, which is the biggest draw for me. I also play more single-player than I used to and that seems to be Sony's forte. BC is obviously going to be a big factor for me, so I need to see the receipts on exactly which games will be compatible and will probably have to spring for the PS5 with a disc drive. All that being said, those games would still be waiting for me (improves even with patches) if I waited for a slim revision. I'm not a big fan of the PS5's size and look for the reasons I mentioned earlier.
What about you? It seems like a lot of people already have their minds made up, but is anybody else on the fence?
