    So because of issues with past systems and shortages due to pandemic supply chain problems almost every manufacturer had to negotiate, you think it’s a bad thing they’re outselling MS?

    As someone who has both systems, I rarely use the X Box, unless it’s a game exclusive to it. Sony’s controllers are far better IMO, and it’s a better media center too, which to be honest is what I use it for the majority of the time.

      That a real funny way of saying “long and continuing history of subpar hardware.”

      It’s not like I’m talking about “Oopsy woopsy Walmart didn’t have a PS5,” I’m talking about continuous, shoddy, overpriced hardware. Users shouldn’t have to question whether their $70 purchase will last the month.

      This has been a trend for every console they put out since the PS2.

      PS3? Less powerful and more expensive with poorly made controllers.

      PS4? Power’s fine, but controllers are way more expensive and even worse than before.

      PS5? Fine on power, but still more expensive, and with supply chain issues that far exceeded anything faced by Microsoft or Nintendo, placing the issue most likely based in their, say it with me, hardware design.

      Edit: ITT: Sony Stans who love the that New Vegas got cut down, that PS3 and PS4 controllers are paper mache, and that the PS5 enabled and enriched scalpers like never before. And people wonder why gaming hardware keeps getting worse.

          As someone who dropped consoles entirely because I got sick of getting burned by Sony…

          K, pal.

          I don’t even own a XBox One, but my brother does, and you wanna know something? He hasn’t had a problem with drifting once. I, on the other hand, have had two $60 controllers start drifting on me. My early model Switch’s original joycons still work better.

              the PS5 has a pro controller where you can easily replace the sticks

              You mean the controller that costs $200 while the normal one is still $70 with no way to deal with drift?

              Any xbox controller will suffer the same stick-drift so long as they are using carbon pad analog sticks.

              Except controllers made with better quality components won’t start drifting anywhere near as fast. Late-model PS4 controllers could barely outlast their warranty because they were made so much cheaper. What fucking good is gyro aim when you have to spend $60-$70 every six months?

              And ya know what? I’m not even gonna bother with the rest of your shit spewing because you’re such a damned clown.
