I am lucky enough to have both the PS5 and the Xbox and personally find very little to pick out between them. I prefer XB controller but think the PS5 one is better quality with the haptic feedback. I love Game Pass and have found tremendous value in it, more so than in PlayStations version though PS still manage to get exclusives.

Mind you the way some of these articles sound is that the whole Xbox gaming division is on its knees and doesn’t sell a machine or make a penny.

It does feel like they're using excessively narrow defintions and picking facts to create the narrative they want.

Okay, the smaller of Microsoft's gaming platforms isn't selling as well as the PS5, while the other one is growing so fast even Sony is porting all of their exclusive games to it.

Doesn't really feel like a complete market failure to me?

This article does smell of console war nonsense.

What @NOT_RICK@lemmy.world said. Console war nonsense. Any excuse to make it look like one side is winning or whatnot but then again it made people click on the article and see the adverts which apparently is all it takes these days to churn out BS articles.

I don't care for the quality of either controller tbh. The haptic feedback for the PS5 controller is nice, but until official controllers start using HE sticks, they're pretty much worthless to me.
