![]() Nintendo has also released some great games for the Switch, such as Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Metroid Dread. Things have also started reasonably strongly, given the limitations of the pandemic, this generation, with games such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Returnal, Demon’s Souls, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart as well as the upcoming God Of War Ragnarök. PlayStation 5 owners on the other hand have access to some of the best games of the last generation, such as God Of War, The Last Of Us, Spider-Man, and Horizon Zero Dawn, among other titles that still have a dedicated following such as Days Gone and Ghost Of Tsushima. Things might change in the future but for now I’d say Xbox are still playing catch up. Xbox Series X/S owners obviously have access to previous Xbox titles and whilst Xbox had some success with titles such as Forza, Gears Of War, and Ori during the Xbox One era they were eclipsed by Sony and Nintendo for quality exclusive titles. ![]() The Wii U wasn’t the best, but they nailed the hybrid console concept this time around.įor me this is where Xbox falls down a bit. Being able to play the Switch out and about and upstairs lying in bed is a game-changer. And of course the upcoming PlayStation VR2. Sony on the other hand has an updated interface, brand new DualSense controller, and 3D audio to boast about. The interface is the same and the controller is very similar to last gen. ![]() Xbox has the quick resume feature for the Xbox Series S and X, otherwise there’s not really any other new features to talk of. Xbox is the clear winner in this category. Xbox One Series X on the other hands is backwards compatible with all previous Xbox titles and some have even received free updates additionally, previous gen controllers are compatible. The PlayStation 5 at least runs PlayStation 4 games and there are a number of PlayStation 3 games on PS Plus but PlayStation 1 and 2 era titles are almost non-existent. Sure, there’s Nintendo Switch Online but it’s a pretty bare bones collection and by the sounds of it doesn’t run that well. The Switch isn’t compatible with any old Nintendo games, which is why they’ve picked clean the Wii U back catalogue in terms of re-releases. Xbox is pretty much the same.Īgain, this is a pretty clear-cut win for Microsoft. Sure Sony has Sackboy and ahem Knack but I can’t think of any other games that are child friendly or party types games for the whole family. I don’t see any other winner here but Nintendo and can’t see how anyone can argue otherwise. Winner: PlayStation 5 Best for the whole family On the other hand, now might not be the best time to buy a new Switch as it’s heavily rumoured that Nintendo are to release a new console sometime in the coming year and whether it will be compatible with current games is unclear. Sony also intend to release the PlayStation VR 2 in the next year, which might give the PlayStation 5 a slight edge over Xbox in terms of future-proofing. This is hard to predict as no one knows what the future holds but it’s probably a decent bet to say Microsoft and Sony are unlikely to release new hardware any time soon, other than incremental upgrades. It doesn’t hurt that the Xbox Series S is the cheapest next gen console either. Nintendo games are a fair amount cheaper but rarely have a significant discount even years down the line.įor many people though, Game Pass is probably the best option when it comes to value, with day one Xbox exclusives free to play on release, along with other third party games and indies. ![]() Sony games are obviously the most expensive on release but usually have a significant discount on them after a period of 6-12 months, so for some this might be the best option.
