Xbox Series X or PC - which did you end up choosing?

@Antwan3K: Yeah, the PS5 multiplat nod is a little odd.

you really are oblivious to the fact that most people that play consoles, don't feel like playing on a pc, and it's more than people using their pc for work.

console is one platform where everything is interconnected and competely controller operated

A pc is so many different platforms, mouse operated, and interconnection is either not available or not as user friendly.

I now have a pc with a gtx 1070 and still an original xboxone. I don't have a playstation, I might get a ps5 if the psvr 2 is something.

AT the moment I'm just waiting for the gpu prices to drop to get a better gpu for skyrim vr. I might get a series x if my old x1 breaks down or doesn't run the games I want anymore

PC is better than Xbox. This is a factual statement

I like gaming on PC much more than on console, so I would pick even a less powerful PC over getting a XSX.

I’m interested in a series x fir starield and forza. I’ll look in 2022.

PC, obviously......

.....as long as you already have a good rig. If you don't, sheesh. Them prices.

Double sheesh.

lol.. this guy thinks i don't believe in console gamers.. 😂😅🤣

@Antwan3K: Did you even bother reading the thread? I'm assuming a PS5 will run multiplats better than his old PC. That was my comment.

Edit: Ok I see the confusion. He didn't state he already owns a PS5 in original post. I was saying since he already has a PS5, play multiplats on that for now and anything not on PS5(xbox games) on his PC.

I wanted to get a GPU for my PC this year, then all went to hell. Probably just gonna get a Series X at this point, since it's 1000€ cheaper than the GPU I want for my PC.

I generally like playing on consoles, connected to the projector in the media room, versus continuing to be on the computer. But I couldn't even get a GPU if I wanted to upgrade mine for better FPS's with my wider monitor.

in that context, it makes much more sense..

I chose both. Bought an Xbox Series X on launch. Recently built a new PC with Ryzen 5 5600x and Radeon RX 6800XT. I paid through the nose for that GPU, and it wasn't even the one I wanted (I wanted a GTX 3080). :(

My take, until GPU prices come back down from the stratosphere, Xbox Series X is probably the way to go.

Any sentence that includes the words "better/worse than" is always an opinion.

@UnnDunn: not to be pedantic, but that's not true, lol

I'd like to see anyone build a 500 dollar 4k capable PC with brand new parts

AND include controller and 4K player.

Probably if you get the 5 finger discount.

That's impossible. Are you implying someone is saying that it's possible?

Indeed. A PC can do everything an Xbox can do. But better. Plus more. Of course it'll cost more.

@Litchie: it can cost whatever u want it to be as long as you are ok with 1080p instead of 4k. You can make it cheaper or cheaper than xbox in the long run

Yes it is. What is considered "good" or "bad" (and therefore "better than" or "worse than") is always subjective and therefore an opinion.

If you had said "PC is more capable than Xbox", that's a factual statement. But saying "PC is better than Xbox" is meaningless unless you define what is "good" and what is "bad", and everyone will have a slightly different definition.

As my PC gets older, I've been thinking about this more and more. Here are the pros/cons the way I see it:

Xbox Series X

• XSX's $500 is a steal! There might be a holiday bundle to make the pot sweeter.

Had to stop reading there. What makes you think a bundle is a possibility when there is no supply currently, i.e. plenty of demand?

I see bundles even now. But I know from previous experience Xbox does pretty generous bundles around the holidays. It's still 5 months from now so hopefully stock situation will be better.

Oh, you mean these bundles that cost as much as a decent prebuilt computer? 😂

Yeah, those are the only bundles I see -- nothing reminiscent to a holiday bundle where you save a little money or at least are paying MSRP.

I'm being super pedantic, but you are wrong/overgeneralizing. It is NOT subjective that being healthy is better than being sick. It's not subjective that being robbed is worse than not being robbed ;-) PC being better than XBox is subjective.

just finish upgrading my pc yesterday.. the 3080 was the last part to go in and i was shocked i was able to get one. only paid $1000 for it. O and got to have gamepass. pay $19/ month for netflix while just $10 for GP i barely use netflix but always DL random games to try... If i ever have to drop one to save money it would be netflix

If I only had to choose one between the two (or really between anything), I would choose the PC. Far more flexible, a larger and better library of games, better graphics and performance and etc. The only downside of the PC I can see (other than the current shortage of GPU's), is its support for HDR and Surround Sound. It's support for HDR is finnicky at best, has some issues and also constantly having to turn it on and off (my PC is also connected to my TV for couch gaming). More importantly, the support for surround sound is sometimes finnicky too (have not tested this extensively yet, but at least with ME Legendary, no surround, but works on others so maybe its game related).

Both are good systems though, hence why I have both (actually, have two XSX, second one was almost free since I sold my old Xbox One X for over $400).

Gamestop had XSX's in store today 😮 Keyword, had.

because that's what you said, and you also gave me that impression in our discussion about E3.

Xbox Series X (own two PS5’s, PS4 Pro, One X, Switch too). I’ll never be a PC gamer. It’s just not “gaming” to me. M&K isn’t gaming. It’s like ordering an “impossible” plant based burger. Just get the real thing. Consoles all the way.

Pc. Now that the dust has settled, the xsex doesn't seem so powerful after all.

Why not both? It is not like you need a PS5 anymore since those games go to PC anyways. So why get a PS5 to pay the most for games and use the worst controller. Xbox/PC with game pass and the best controller is where it is at.

PC is not viable for most people, unless you have pot luck at grabbing a 3080 FE like me. Today's prices are dumb as shit, I would tell people to buy a PS5 and XSX.

If you're bad at shooters (and rts/moba/mmorpg/arpg/tbs/sim) and have to use controllers for some weird reason, PC can use more controllers than consoles.

How about if you're like me with a Series X and an RTX 2080 gaming PC?

I bought an x. No need for a pc
