i'm not confident in either right now to be honest but i am currently more drawn to PlayStation mainly because as a JRPG gamer and Anime fan there is currently more guarantee the games i want will come to PlayStation than XBOX
and to me i go where the game i want to play are, i don't really care what lump of plastic i put the disc in
this could have something to do with the fact that the XB1 gets most of it's data for stuff like this via a online connection (have you not noticed that some games tiles actually change sometimes?) so perhaps it could just be that the data isn't there or the XB1 wasn't able to find the current data
@Jacoby i had that very same issue but i assumed that was because the XB1 i use isn't my home system (that's the one in my living room) and you can't play anything at all unless it's connected online
@KelticDevil did you read my comment, i'll post this bit so you might actually understand
if so then there can't actually be any games in development just for series x can there?
see those words JUST FOR, i never said anything about it coming to other systems or the smart delivery system or the "XBOX family", i asked if MS had changed their stance on Series X exclusive games because the article says "Is A New Perfect Dark In The Works For Xbox Series X?" the article itself makes no mention on XB1 or P.C, just SX
seriously this is the second time i have had to explain myself to you about something because you instantly jump to me being a "Sony fan" because you don't actually listen or read what i'm asking, you just perceive what i'm saying is negative and take it out of context
like i said before "the only one acting liker a fanyboy here is you" because you can't let anyone say anything YOU perceive as negative about the XBOX, the XBOX brand has loads of problems, so does the PlayStation and Nintendo brands and when you finally realise that none of them are doing anything for you and instead that they are only doing things like "smart delivery" to get more console sales and make themselves as much money as possible then we can maybe have a civilised conversation
MS, Sony and Nintendo, they don't give a crap about any of us apart from how much money we can give them, stop being so blind and just enjoy gaming for the games, not the stupid plastic box you play them on
@Grot yeah although they still block MMO's behind XBL Gold, even free to play ones, for example Star Trek Online is on the XB1 and it's free to play but you still need XBL to play it
surface to say while both have made improvements in some areas they still need to work on others
personally i would like FFXIV to come to XB1 because of the way Square Enix link a console ID to a Square ID i can not access the game on PS4 at all because i was in the original Beta but i have no idea what Square account i used and i can't change it so the game is unplayable on PS4 for me, if it came to XB1 i could finally play it
@Grot @Incarna actually the reason it's not on XBOX currently is Microsofts fault, Sony isn't "!Holding it hostage" they have no say it the matter, apparently it's because the in game chat and guild system is against MS's policy
@KelticDevil ahh i see then i apologise, the fault is all mine
I also apologise for being snappy but i have been a bit stressed lately, the pressure at work is getting high during this current situation, it's not a excuse but it's all i have
@KelticDevil all i did was share a bit of news about what a developer said about the next gen systems and how it MIGHT be an issue if it's true and then you jump on it and make it look like i was personally attacking the XBOX systems
Push Square might be getting a bit over zealous of late but if anyone is acting the hurt fanboy here it's you
i live in the sticks (so to speak) and the internet here, even for fibre barely tops 30mps so i avoid large downloads whenever i can help it because they take hours
of course i know that even patches can be big but thankfully my systems will do that automatically during the night so my games are always ready to go (and also why i like the PS4's option of allowing you to play a game even though a patch is downloading, you just can't play online, no problem for a single player guy like me, it just installs next time you boot it up)
it probably is one of the biggest reasons i stick to physical games, that and how i love to have a game i can actually hold and put on my shelf
@KelticDevil to be fair that "fanboy" website is that sister site of this site so if it is one then so is this
and yes that was one but there have been others before, it's just like this one the posts get taken down quite quickly, probably because it's against a NDA or something
MS have been doing a lot right with the Series X in terms of the player base and consumers BUT it seems more and more that developers actually prefer the PS5 to the Series X, these are the people actually making the games so surely MS should also be putting some focus on them too, the PS3 was the more powerful system but because it was the hardest to develop for it caused issues and while it's not as bad as the difference between 360 and PS3 if the PS5 is the easier and more developer friendly system, isn't that going to be where they will have focus?
it's all right touting how powerful your system is, like Sony did with the PS3 but you have to have developers on board too

@ThePrettySenshi it was a pretty good game for it's day, i wouldn't say it's aged great though at least not the original, the HD remaster is a bit better though
having an internal battery is fine, but they just need to make sure that the batteries can be easily replaced and at least with MS doing it like this you can do that easily, you put in a plug and play kit if you want a chargeable battery and when it dies you can easily replace it or use AA batteries in an emergency
you know there is one thing that bugs me about things like this and i know it's small and petty but when it's on it's side the XBOX symbol is the wrong way round, it would do my OCD in having it laying down like that
that's why i loved how on the original PS3 model and all the PS2 models you could rotate the symbol
like i said small and petty but it just sets me off for some reason
@Gamecuber you know i still don't understand why digital games are more expensive like you said you would think without the need to manufacture and press discs or print cases or ship it around the world they would be cheaper
@Gamecuber yeah i know of some games where the developer just threw them out with part of the game on it and the rest was delivered as a "patch", the last Tony Hawks game by Activision is one and it's a practise i have no time for, if i find a game is like that then i just don't buy it period
of course the publisher could just use more discs, the FFVII Remake for example is coming on 2 blu-rays but they just cheap out just like they do on Switch games that require "extra download"
the options are there especially with disc based systems as blu-rays are pretty cheap now a days but they won't put in the money, i would pay a little extra for it if needed
@Gamecuber well even if that's the case and lets take FFXV as the example because that changed a lot over the years at least there will still be a version of the game to buy and play, even if it's the vanilla version where as by the time the updates and stuff are taken offline then the digital version will be too and that you wouldn't be able to buy at all
Physical, always Physical, i want to actually OWN my game and have control of when i can access it regardless of if i'm online or not
also price is a big factor too, why would i pay £60 for a digital game when the physical version can go as low as £10 if brought used and depending on age
@ThePrettySenshi yeah it has been flying it's flag a bit lately, there are certain articles i just don't read anymore because i know it's either going to be a bit of a fanboy rant, a fluff piece or the comments are full of fanboy arguments
i just wanna talk about games and things about gaming
Sorry with over 140 million consoles sold between the current PS and XBOX so potentially at least that many next gen console sales a sample size of 30k is very small and not really a proper indicator of how people really feel
don't get me wrong it might be that the result is still the same but i think a bigger pool is needed
@SuperNintendoMii America has a more bigger and more efficient infrastructure than the UK and Europe does, especially in the bigger cities so they can handle more then they can over here
yeah i downloaded it earlier, i was finally able to see The Mandalorian and it was pretty good (even IF it's plot has already been ruined thanks to social media and toys) not to mention The Clone Wars and FINALLY a UK release of the Lost missions aka season 6
@gingataisen no decent Dragon Ball fan in their right mind would sell that anyway regardless of if they was ever going to use it or not
Although it did remind me i need to pick up the XB1 version of Kakarot, i have platinumed the PS4 version and literally have nothing left in the game to do but i wanna play through it again
