 Everyone a bit of a different video today. I'm gonna be talking about the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox series X and Which one am I going to be buying and why I feel like it's an interesting conversation to have as we head into next gen Also, it looks like we're gonna hit 50,000 subscribers possibly even today Which means we are gonna be given away a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox series X or a Nintendo switch in the month of November So stay stay tuned for that one. That's gonna be an exciting time, but Before I get into that we already have giveaways going on We have our three copies of Super Mario 3d all-stars. We're giving away right now gleam. I'll link down in the description for that We're also giving away a switch light and then two games of choice to second-place winners All you have to do is go down to the description There's a list of things to do including subscribing to the channel go to patreon.com slash Nintendo Prime to get You know 15 extra entries in every giveaway a whole bunch of stuff go check it out now We don't talk a lot about Sony and Microsoft on this channel because obviously we're Nintendo Prime I'm Nintendo Prime like this is what we do we talk Nintendo, but I do enjoy gaming beyond Nintendo And the next system is really exciting because I'm a tech enthusiast And there's a lot of exciting tech going on with the new stuff coming out I mean there's GPUs in these systems that aren't even on the market yet pretty crazy So which one am I going to buy on paper if you just want to base it on specs You should clearly go with the Xbox series X. It's the more powerful system. Yeah, PlayStation 5 is a faster SSD But because a lot of games are multi-platform they won't necessarily take advantage of that speed. So hey case closed Xbox series X It's more powerful But Sony has games in fact I think the conversation starts and begins with games So let's get into the excuses we know the launch lineup all that stuff I we're gonna know more tomorrow by the way, there is a PlayStation 5 event tomorrow So if you're watching this a little later and that event has happened Just know that I probably live streamed and already reacted to that event so go check that video out But yeah, like there's a PlayStation 5 event. Let's let's just get into what we know so far So horizon forbidden West is a new game following up horizon zero dawn I didn't actually play any games on PlayStation 4 because I never owned a PlayStation 4 That doesn't mean that I'm not interested in this game Now most of the PlayStation 4 libraries backwards compatible as well So I can catch up on stuff, but horizon forbidden West is a game that looks very very good It is the closest thing to Zelda that they have in Zelda is my favorite franchise of all time So I definitely am interested in checking that game out next up We have obviously Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales a follow-up to the original Spider-Man game On PlayStation 4 again, I didn't play the original, but I'm a big Marvel fan a big Spider-Man fan And I know the original is really really good. I've seen some twitch live streams of it So yeah, I mean Miles Morales probably has the best chance of being an actual launch game because it's listed for holiday 2020 I'm you have Gran Turismo 7. I'm not a huge racing fan So this one doesn't matter to me as much but it is a game that is going to be there on the platform So it is something to consider Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart this game is the one that makes the SSD look incredible to fast the world are loading Nothing about ratchet ratchet and clink Rift Apart looks bad Like it looks like almost a perfect video game if one ever did exist Definitely interested in that even though it might not be there at launch Demon Souls is a remake You know from the PlayStation 3 We'll see what happens with that one, but I'm pretty excited. Don't know if it'll be at launch But I'm excited for that project Athea That is you know developed by Square Enix. It's it's exclusive looks very very interesting I'm really really excited about that one. We have Returnal as well It's a new action game from Riso Gunn It's again another game that just looks really really good And these are all games that are exclusive to PlayStation 5 Sackboy, you know, I'm not a big Sackboy fan But you know it is a game that exists Astral's playroom Again, again, the game. I'm not that that interested in but it does exist Destruction All-Stars Another game I'm not that interested in but then we get to Godfall and Godfall is a fantasy role-playing game focused around third person melee combat and hunting down loot Looks really really excited. It's made by Gearbox So that that should be a pretty interesting one to check out and then obviously you had to get into the third-party offerings now It third-party offerings to be fair are going to be available on multiple platforms So you don't necessarily need to buy a PlayStation for it like Immortals Phoenix Rising, you know And that's a third-party game coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X also to Nintendo switch I will be buying it on switch We'll see if I end up buying it on other platforms as well So I'm not gonna go too much into the third-party stuff But then we head on over to Xbox Series X and they've got their slew of games to Microsoft is bringing some games Obviously, you know, Halo Infinite is kind of their go-to game, but now that's delayed sometime in 2021 They're reworking it. So that was supposed to be the big launch game. So Halo is not there We know a new fables being made. We don't know much about it But we know a new fables coming and that's really really exciting. It looks like a reboot We know state of decay 3 is coming Don't know if that's going to be a launch game or not, but that's coming You know for some motorsport again another racing game We don't know if that's coming yet ever wild which looks really really good Can't wait to play that one avowed as well is coming that one another game that looks really really good As dusk falls is another exclusive that looks really really good You see we're actually getting some unique exclusives here for Xbox stalker 2 is coming the next entering the survival hoarder shooter series That's pretty exciting as well Tetris effect connected is coming as well. You know, I don't know if I'm necessarily as excited by that I have Tetris effect on my phone The gunk is coming and then you can't forget the medium I mean the medium to me is one of the most impressive games shown off for Xbox series X so far Even though it's not like necessarily visually impressive like gameplay wise. It looks fantastic There's also Ward or hammer 40,000 dark tide. That's exclusive crossfire X And you can't forget, you know, Senua's Saga Hellblade 2, you know, I'm sending you a sacrifice Hellblade like this is Hellblade 2 Can't wait for that one as well. That was actually the very first game. They shown off. Maybe it'll be ready for launch I have no idea but as the first next-gen game they showed off before You know and then scorn which is going to be launching on Xbox game pass. That's a multi-platform game But yeah, there's a whole bunch of you know, Xbox ID games You know, we're gonna talk about those again to indie stuff and then you get into the third-party games Which are gonna match up a lot with PlayStation 5 so you look at the games and you start to say well clearly PlayStation has an advantage in terms of major games coming and they do So games kind of leads to PlayStation now now you start to think well What are the price of these systems? Well, we know the price of the Xbox series X is going to be $499 we know the series s is 299, but I'm not even considering the series s I'm just looking at the X and then you go to PlayStation side We don't have prices yet. Although it's looking like it's going to be a 499 399 situation for the digital only box So, you know, I am looking to go have physical as an option So I am looking at both 499 boxes. So the price points aren't gonna be any different either So it seems like the clear winner should be well You know, it looks like games are what matter most so go with PlayStation 5 But then you get to what Microsoft's doing I have to buy all the PlayStation 5 games at $60 of pop for almost the same price as one game I can get like a year subscription to game pass and get all the exclusive games Plus like all the old exclusive games and Xbox one and Xbox one is fully backwards compatible all the way back to the og Xbox So if you have like an og Xbox disc that you want to stick in there, you know, I bust out This is the way I always bring up. I bust out NFL 2k5 the greatest NFL game of all time and I pop that disc in there. It's going to run. It's going to work I could play NFL 2k5 today in 2020 on a next-gen system. Not gonna look any prettier to be fair, but yeah, like Wow That is amazing. Now PlayStation 5 has backwards compatibility to PlayStation 4. They haven't confirmed all PlayStation PlayStation 4 games will work They did say PlayStation 4 games will be able to all be inserted and it will attempt to run it So we'll see what happens, but I that that's a big selling point Full backwards compatibility over all Xbox generations and game pass Again check mark check mark for for Microsoft. So now you're left sitting here Okay, the better games might be over here, but you can get the games cheaper over here and you can play all the old games for cheap, too So what the hell do we do? Well, the answer is pretty obvious and those that have been paying attention. No, I'm buying both. I can't decide I literally cannot decide which one I want to go with. I just can't I Don't have an answer I'm going to buy an Xbox series X and a PlayStation 5 for myself. And yeah, I'm giving away another one on top of that I'm spending $1,500 just on systems This doesn't count the fact that I probably need to get at least one extra controller for each And I'm gonna want to get a game for each although on Xbox you might also just get game pass But I mean, you know, I might buy like a third-party game That's not a game pass or something for it just to compare, you know, maybe I get one game on each just to compare You know, maybe maybe it's a mortal phoenix rising I just own it on all three platforms because I think the game is so great I don't know like I'll pick I'll pick a game that you know, maybe it's the new Assassin's Creed game I'll get that on on PlayStation 5 and so I can have like a nice comparison of both of them and see how I think about it I I honestly Look at this whole situation as you can't go wrong this time See last time when Xbox one in PlayStation 4 game there clearly was a right choice You go with the PlayStation 4 Xbox doesn't know what they're doing They don't have games game pass didn't exist at the time was more expensive They were forcing connect like there was a clear you buy a PlayStation 4 I didn't buy either but you buy a PlayStation 4, right? That's what you do. You buy a PlayStation 4 this time around I don't think it's that obvious now Not all of you are gonna be able to afford to get all these next-gen systems like I'm going to do and I get that And if it wasn't for game pass I couldn't afford to support all the systems as well with various games But I do think that there is a lot to be had here. Oh, and I forgot to mention about game pass EA plays now part of it Like that's that's pretty that's pretty pretty big even on PC But yeah, I'm excited about both these platforms. I'm getting them I'm getting them both for the first time in my life. I will own all current gen systems, which will be a Nintendo switch a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox series X I will own all of them and I am so excited to deal with all of the day one launch bugs and everything and You know, whatever hardware issues come my way or software issues come my way. It's whatever I even have a 4k 60 fps capture card that technically this camera is plugged into so uh, you know what that means If I'm live streaming any of those games, I'm going to have to bust out. I'm gonna have to bring back No, I'm not I'm gonna have to bring back something But actually I really don't I can run this video through my other capture card and just do 1080p But I was gonna say I gotta bring back my 4k brew. You know what screw it I gotta bring back the 4k brew. So we keep our 4k into 4k That's like 8k in one video that only displays in 4k to you. Anyways, the point is I'm really excited about this generation of gaming And I hope you guys are too and I look forward to covering more and more of this extra stuff beyond Nintendo As much as I love Nintendo Sometimes the biggest news happening isn't about them and I want to cover that and I want you guys to be interested in that Coverage as well because I feel like broadening our horizons as gamers is a good thing Understanding the rest of the industry industry is a good thing. We shouldn't write off Sony Microsoft EA Ubisoft Whatever all these companies just because maybe some bullshit practices come up Nintendo has bullshit practices as well So we need to be fair gaming is gaming and I want to talk about all of it So yeah, let me know what you guys think are you guys picking up one of these next-gen systems Or are you just gonna sit at home with your switch? Are you just still trying to get a switch and you're still rocking old gen or maybe heck? Maybe you just enjoy gaming is from an enthusiast perspective, but don't buy anything Yeah, there's there's people like that out there. All right, folks. I'll catch you guys in the next video
