Free wifi is being integrated to more places now. You can also call and text using the internet. You can browse the internet, use microsoft applications like word, powerpoint and excel spreadsheet. It also can take high quaity pictures and videos. 

If you want to go that route then consoles also have a lot of free to play games, several apps (including the streaming video services), can browse the internet, HH like PSVita, PSP, DS, 3DS and Switch also take picture, video, etc. So you don't really need to buy games. Also a console is usually held for 6 years (so average is 10 games per console, that would mean 600 in games plus 400 in HW, about the same price of a flagship phone, that usually is changed every 2 or 3 years plus 50+ month for the plan). Your comparison doesn't really favor you.

The PS5 spec reveal wasn’t a reaction, MS fortunately happened to go first. But cmon, literally the next day? That’s pure theatre MS squeezed theirs off first. 

You arguing semantics with past consoles being able to stand up. That’s not a “tower” setup. PCs are tower setup....boring and bulky stand up rectangles :). For consoles it’s clearly a departure from tradition, and doubles as being extremely practical for heat venting. The PS5 design should be unique so at least you guys can be as excited as I was in December rather then being obligated to explain how it’s totally normal they are sharing a core look. 

I told you, I all ready know PS will sell more consoles. Still looking forward to seeing the weekly numbers, but I’m all about the Xbox ecosystem going forward. Pre-moved goal posts ;) End of day these rumours don’t help the silence. 

Thanks for admiting it, but on the specific thread several were talking as if it was a reaction and not a coincidence (probably the major reason for the coincidence is that both companies revealed the information they had scheduled for GDC and close to the time GDC would be held so it happened to be consecutive days).

I'm excited about the games that will be released in the next 6 years, not exactly about the looks, but well, some people will be pleased by how the console look, luck them.

I now that you said PS5 will outsell XSX, but if it doubles it then I don't think you'll stay on the site for long =p

You should read back my first reply to the other guy's post. He said a $500 console. Not a $300 or less handheld. Not sure why you bring them in here. And phones are more flexible with plans. You dont have to pay a huge amount upfront like consoles (Xbox is just starting to implement that monthly plan which I think is great and will attract more customers). 

Im not here to say which one is better. Its just people dont realize what you get when you open a $1000 phone to a $500 console. The console recquires you to buy games, while a phone has everything you need without spending any more money.
