Voted Xbox. Not only because of the full list but also the launch lineup is extremely barren for PS5 for me. The biggest game so far is the Spider-Man expansion. I have the platinum in Spider-Man but I am in no hurry to go back. Kenu or whatever that cross gen game was is also very appealing but it’ll be on Xbox later. Deathloop I am very interested in but it’ll be on Xbox later. And that’s it.

On Xbox on day one ill have Infinite, The Ascent, Medium, Gears Tactics, Scorn, and Tetris Connected and these are all day one on GamePass which means I can pay for the console and instantly have access to these six titles and others I am forgetting. And the superior third party games like Cyberpunk and Ass Creed. And games I have waited on finishing or playing on Xbone because of an XSX upgrade like Gears 5 and Horizon. Not really close.

I do hope Sony goes into detail about BC and upgrades to their games, if there is anything to get into. Because like Gears 5 and Horizon, I have PS4 games like Death Stranding, Days Gone, God of War, and LoU2 that I have put in the backlog but would bring out for PS5 upgrades.

IT is smart to wait (Seriously, any new console's first year is barren), but is PS4 is anything to go by, Sony will have a slow start but end with a bang whereas Xbox will start strong but flounder after a couple of years. that happened three generations in a row, now. I wouldn't put too many eggs into the basket of the one with the better launch even if I understand the desire to do so. 

Good thing Xbox is in an entirely different position with drastically different goals than they were in those past generations. I’m going to own both consoles eventually, it makes complete sense to go with the stronger launch window.
