It'll be interesting to see what they do. Building up game pass and xcloud seem to be their top priority but their other studios release on ps4, so we could see stuff on ps5. He did also say that some of the ps5 exclusive games that were previously announced will be honored as well.

Better hardware. Can push out 4k graphics, though we'll see how well in a couple months. Also supports vrr if your TV does, which allows the TV and console to stay in sync in terms of how often the screen is refreshed.

Nah, I'll wait a year or two until the new Xbox price comes down.

I got my PS5 on release day. I have not opened it, still contemplating selling it. Only 1 game I want to play right now (Demon's Souls) and I put like 300 hours into that on PS3 a decade ago. So might take the profit and wait until spring. TBD.

Prolly not gonna get the Xbox, at least no time soon, literally no reason for me to given I have a gaming PC and every Microsoft exclusive is gonna be on PC too.

Yeah. Only reason I'd grab Xbox at this point is so I can put the current one s in the kids tv/play room.

Also, demon's souls is the only game I picked up so far and the first level owned me.

That was my plan until my dad decided he wanted to give us a ps5 for Christmas and needed help running one down.

It's definitely a challenge lol. Unless they changed the way magic works from the PS3 version, you can make it a lot easier being the Royal and using magic the whole way through. Only a couple fights are tough this way.
