    I mean probally cause the console was an utter failure, I see no diff between my ps4 to my ps5, Supply failed at launch for 3 years, the exclusives have sucked, PS Plus went up on all tiers and features for it have been a roaring dumpster fire this is without taking into concideration the UI revamp sucks. I haven’t even had the urge to fire mine up since October.

    This compared to the series X that while hasn’t had /great/ exclusives either, has well counteracted that downside with a huge gamepass library that connects directly with PC and had the supply to keep up with demand.

      Connection between PC and XBox is a feature that I didn’t know I would love so much before. The family is occupying the TV, fine I could fire the same game up on the PC.

        Fully agree, I didn’t think I would use it much either, but the fact that you can make any game suddenly a keyboard and mouse game is a game changer. It opened up the ability to run your strategy and your RTs and your survival games using keyboard and Mouse games like Ark I can’t imagine playing with a controller however I can play with my Xbox friends because the fact that I can just play Ark using keyboard and mouse while they play on their console
