It’s star to look like the war is finally over but I mean honestly how much better can they get before they are just full blown pcs that was kinda the draw for consoles in the first place……oh your too poor to afford a gaming pc here try this you can still play games for a fraction of the price
Nobody knows what’s an Xbox in EU.
but… Xbox has Starfield, no? that’s gotta be a Playstation killer
I love Bethesda games. Fallout is one of my favourite series around. I also loved Mass Effect. I did not like Starfield at all, and I expected to love the shit out of it. Was very disappointed with Starfield.
I tried Fallout for the first time a couple of years ago, with Fallout 4 on Series X. Probably gave it 3-4 hours, just couldn’t get into it.
Thought maybe it was the setting, or the graphics.
Was excited to try a new Bethesda title in Starfield. Figured the setting is right up my alley (I loved Destiny and was intrigued by No Mans Sky, Outer Wilds, etc.)
I feel like I’m forcing myself to play this game, and am enjoying it even less than Fallout. It’s just…boring.
Maybe it’s me. Maybe these are just not my type of games. I hate it because I really want to like the game(s)/genre, especially since so many others do.
It’s the only reason I just bought series X
What a mfn let down, I only play cod now for new games cuz they gave it to me for free when buying the X
I look at starfield and just see a wonky game that doesn’t play to Bethesda’s strengths as exploration and environmental story telling feel completely sidelined in a game about exploring
One of the worst and most hyped games to exist yet. All my friends lost their shit looking at the trailer watching the Xbox event. Sorely disappointed with that purchase, played for 30 hours just to feel like I got my money’s worth but felt like I was scammed even more. Their engine just isn’t up to date, there are tiny indie developers making better looking games in UE5 than Starfield. So many years in development yet it is still bad.
I also feel like Bethesda formula of making you feel like the Chosen one was lost in this one, you are just a random person. You also had more immersion even with Skyrim wonky NPCs. Thank god Rockstar and CDProject Red are still being amazing though. Playing Cyberpunk 2.0 and replaying RDR2 really made me feel much better (RDR2 still looks and plays way better btw)
Next CoD as Xbox/PC exclusive would be so fucking funny
Add a /s brother. Folks here don’t get sarcasm
I have a PS5 & Series X. Honestly, the Xbox is just a far better console (minus the controller). My PS5 constantly locks up when games are paused in the background for watching Netflix or console rest. If it doesn’t lock up, I find myself having to reload the entire game anyway. With the Xbox, this problem never happens and the quick resume is near instant.
Lmao
Then your PS5 is faulty if it is doing that. That is not normal or common
Interesting how much weight you put into quick resume.
I couldn’t care less given ssd loading times are so minor.
Quick resume is the single best feature of the latest gen consoles.
I’ve already had the graphics from my pc, but even it can’t match the quick resume.
Dualsense haptics >>
That’s something PC have never even offered and now I can have dualsense haptics on PC too, huge win.
Nah Quick Resume is actually useful. Haptics are one of those gimmicks that you forget about after 5 minutes. At least to me it adds nothing. Gyro controls are more important than haptics.
lol okay dude sure. Just say it out loud you’ve never played a title with proper dualsense integration it’s fine.
I played most of the PS5 exclusives, the only one that impressed was Astro’s Playroom, probably due to the novelty.
Every time I would quick resume it would be on a weird loading screen or glitch the game. I’m fine with just starting up the game
And let’s not forget that quick resume also is a ssd butcher
Generally it would use the cache and not the sad itself and even then, it’s not going to do mu h to modern SDDs
Quick resume is amazing. It’s not just about loading times, it’s about being able to resume EXACTLY where you left off. Very very convenient
Loading a game on the PS5 takes less than a minute
Interesting, the best thing about Xbox in my opinion is the controller, haptic feedback is good but I feel the Xbox controller is more comfortable, and I never have to recharge it.
What’s haptic feedback?
The buzzy rumbles but better.
PS5 rumble is more “high-res” so to say. More comparable to a modern iPhone I’d say.
One example people always being up is how Returnal simulates the feeling of raindrops falling via the haptic feedback
I can’t believe the Xbox is beating the Playstation in some parts of Europe
Well if you just wanna chill at your couch and play stuff xbox with the gamepass works like a dream. I 've had 100+ games available since day 1 (and yes, many of them are really, really good) while my friends have 3-4 games on the ps5 max.
Not saying one is better than the other, but there are a lot of people like me out there who see the value of the whole xbox package. Don’t know what’s so hard to believe.
I think more people are realizing that they’re quite happy with 3-5 games per year Vs temporary access to hundreds that they don’t have time to play all of them
It ends up being cheaper to have gamepass if you buy 5 games a year
Not if you’re a smart shopper and buy most of your games during sales, even including 1 or 2 day-1 event AAA games in there
That’s a statement you pulled out of your head.
As I said, there are people who are perfectly happy with 3-5 games a year, and there are people who are perfectly happy with the gamepass.
Statements like “I cant believe more people would own an xbox!!!” make absolutely no sense. Xbox targets a very different crowd. Its definitely a smaller one, but its still a sizeable market segment.
PlayStation Plus also exists…
Cope 😂
I can’t believe people buy that oversize impractical wavybpiece of furniture, but there you go.
Found the kid in Europe with an Xbox
Xbox isn’t beating the PS5 in any part of Europe, it’s just a poorly written and phrased article and headline. The percentage by which the PS5 is outselling Xbox is lower in the UK than in the other countries cited, but still more than double.
They need drone controllers in Ukraine I guess
By most do they mean all? Is there anywhere in Europe where Xbox is ahead?
I hear there’s an island in Greece somewhere where they prefer their consoles to be named after clothes sizes
only during 360 era
No, the article is just bad and stolen content from another article - they just don’t have the data for all regions so they don’t mention them but it is more than likely PS5 does better in all of Europe
UK I remember was a country where Xbox did okay.
Not anymore. Out of both consoles, about two thirds are PS5 in the UK.
It’s easily available here in Poland, but I guess that depends if you consider Poland central or eastern lol. I think Poles don’t like being considered Eastern, but I could be wrong.
That said, I think it’s natural PlayStation would lead in the console market.
I used to always buy Xbox. Until PC gamepass became a thing. I now buy a PlayStation because I can play all of Xbox biggest games on my PC and I have no need for an Xbox, and I imagine it’s the same for a lot of others.
Just got a PS5, and between my 3090 with i9900k PC, and Switch for Nintendo stuff I am all set I think.
A lot of friends of mine in the UK have Xbox. But everywhere else is very PS dominated
UK has always been the top market for Xbox. So I would expect it still to have a bit more of a presence than in the rest of Europe.
It definitely was in 360 era. PS way ahead now.
Oh they definitely have lost the battle but when compared to other European countries the UK is still doing a bit better.
Most precious posetion!❤️
But Xbox has a monopoly
- Xbox has no zero blockbusters (they butchered Halo, for crying out loud)
- Microsoft does zero marketing or advertising of Xbox to anyone outside North America and the U.K.
- Microsoft doesn’t support the smaller regional languages that Sony does.
Xbox has Forza horizon and starfield. I suppose they’re blockbusters. I was always a PC gamer, so I don’t really care, but I don’t agree with your first statement.
- Gears of War
Halo infinite is actually really good now though.
good, 1000 guys playing it in the whole world gonna be happy
Is that the one trying to sell a halo 1 skin for more than the cost of the entire game
Since Infinite is free to play, every skin costs more than the game.
Available on PC too (thanks Microsoft)
4 . For MS games I own PC.
I genuinely don’t know anybody who bought a Xbox this generation.
I remember even PS3, which had various issues, outperformed Xbox 360 in Europe. Sony is beloved in EU and Microsoft in US but the biggest market is US.
Nah, more ps5s sold in USA that Xbox too, that is just patently false, millions more consoles in fact
PS4 and PS5 has sold better than Xbox in US, but the competition is clearly closer than EU so you can clearly see a Xbox-bias in US.
I got both but mainly play on my series x, I love switching to old games that are backwards compatible, Not many new games peeked my interest, so I use gamepass to play these, this year I enjoyed FF16 on PS5 and on xbox Starfield and robocop rogue city an third party game. I hope actually an big game like GTA 6 meight save both consoles and make it worth an buy.
Piqued*
They don’t even sell Xbox games in my country. Its all PlayStation and Switch games.
because nobody buy it. All physical xbox game disc are sitting in the store collecting tons of dust
Not missing out on anything anyway
He’s definitely missing out on gears of war. Incredible game both story mode and online
Pc
This is the problem with Xbox. Why buy one when you can get PS and Switch for console exclusives and a PC for both useful stuff and to play all the Xbox games because it seems like none are actual Xbox exclusives anymore, just console & PC.
By that logic no reason to get a ps either. There are like 3 PS exclusives at the moment that make a ps worth purchasing over a much useful and stronger pc for the same price.
2 of these 3 exclusives will be ported over to PC eventually. Spiderman 2 and gow Ragnarok are bound to be ported over. GoT will probably be ported too.
If we talk about PS5 only, then yeah, 3 exclusives. If we include games with PS4 versions, the amount increases. But sure, if you wanna wait for who knows how long for PC ports then no reason to get a PS.
Point is, only 3 proper exclusives which are all but confirmed to be ported to pc,2 in the very near future, it does not make any sense to get a ps5 anyways wheter you like to wait or not.
I do not know what privileged community anyone will have to belong to in order to justify getting an entirely different and expensive system for playing only 3 games you cannot play, for now, over or in addition to a 100x more useful and much better system for the same price. It just does not look economically viable at all.
You can’t even play online without paying a fucking subscription monthly.
When Elder Scrolls 6 releases?
PC.
Out selling doesn’t mean it’s a objectively better console. It’s been known in the speed running community for some time now that Xbox objectively is better due to faster loading times. The loads are fast enough to compete with pc speed running load times for some games.
Loading times… that’s your judge… then I’m sorry to tell you that PS5’s SSD is twice as fast and nearly all multiplatform games PS5 loads 30-40% faster. And in fact PS5 allows you to load save games directly from the home screen.
Also, the PS5 uses standard PC M.2 SSD’s to the cost of upgrading the storage is about 1/3 of the cost of the proprietary xbox SSD cards. And PS5 can support an SSD as large as 8TB vs 2TB max on xbox so if you want more than 2TB you have to buy more over priced cards and swap them all the time.
Both consoles out perform PC for loading due to the nature of direct storage. You can do it with PC but most titles don’t bother.
Out selling doesn’t mean it’s a objectively better console
Agreed, Wii proved this
Of course, only americans buy that stupid console
