    People have been saying these things since 2020 and it has convinced me that people in online gaming forums are out of touch.

    Here’s my argument against the Series X though:

    • It has nothing I can’t play on my PC. Even though Sony has started releasing their games on PC, their ports usually come years later. I don’t hold this against Microsoft though, I’m more than happy to play games like Halo on PC instead of buying another console.

    • Sony console exclusives are better and more numerous than Xbox exclusives. This has been the case since the Xbox One.

    • The DualSense is a way cooler controller. I’m pretty miffed that the Xbox controller still doesn’t have a gyroscope, When utilized properly a gyroscope makes aiming in shooters a lot easier.

    So the way I see it, there isn’t much reason to buy a Series X beyond its awesome backwards compatibility.

      Does even Sony utilize the gyro though? Returnal didn’t when I played it on a friend’s PS5, and that game really felt like it needed it to control comfortably.
