Switch vs PS5

| So considering the PS5 is coming out soon i've been thinking.Should i buy a switch for the collection of games which i personally am a fan of(eg smt,monster hunter,no more heroes,etc) or the ps5 for the possible prospect of it having a lot of games coming to it(like perhaps dmc5 special edition)?


| Box 360 is better. There's Fable 2 on 360.


| Ehhh, I went for the Switch and honestly I couldn't be happier. Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Astral Chain, shit's great. Got some multiplatform titles like Trials of Mana and Octopath Traveler, too, and I prefer playing those in bed or on the go. As well as tons of indies that are great in portable and I wouldn't touch otherwise. Especially with the aforementioned SMTV, Monster Hunter Rise and No More Heroes 3 coming up. And Bravely Default 2 is coming out soon.


| I won't risk putting money on an entirely new console yet, if I were you. Switch already have a solid base, an incredible library of games with even more games coming, and it's also portable.

The PS5 is only good if you have to chase the latest AAA games, I feel.


| 70$ pricetag for games? HELL NO! And screw the next gen consoles


| PS5 for AAA games of 10 hours and never play them ever again (now you can't even sell them because they won't work on someone else's PS5) and the real good games will be available in any other platform. If you already have a PS4 stick with it until prices are lower (Ps5 pro will happen) or PC.
About Switch If you can wait a few months there are big rumours about a Switch Pro, current Switch is good but some devs don't care about performance, hopefully it would be better.


| You can buy 3-4 good switch titles for the price of a decent ps4 game. I have both, but I still prefer my switch a bit more.


| PS5 for me. If I wanna play while I'm in bed I just turn on remote play and stream the game on my tablet.


| >>703840 you can't say that's an advantage at all towards Switch. Switch is the real thing in your bed plus Joy-Cons let your hands be split and have a confier position.

But if you have a tablet emulate, please, don't waste your time on streaming Sony lol, even Xcloud is tolerable or Steam but Sony.

So yeah are you saying is worth a simulated experience 500$ PS5 + min 200$ Tablet + 40$ Controller vs 300$ Switch?


| IMO Switch is the way to go. There's already a healthy selection of games and you're not spending as much on the console alone.

I'm gonna disclose my bias here and mention I tend to play indies more on my Switch than the exclusives. So I tend to build up my collection with digital games pretty easily.


| Switch+pc is peak gamer imo since Sony and M$ are putting more games on pc and pc has backwards compatibility for years and years of gaming history

And switch is portable plus Nintendo games


| >>703849 when you don't have 3 grand to spend on building a computer that can handle RDR2 the PS5 seems like a solid option to me.


| >>704125 First I never mentioned PC for the shake of the thread, second A computer is something more than vidya. Any normal computer/laptop for the shake of gaming costs 1000$, yeah, double the price for better the experience and many more experience PS can't offer. 3K$ computers offer the same performance as an 1K$, don't be scammed, this is like mobile phone industry, there are phones of 200$ that offers the same or better components than a 1000$ phone


| Remember most companies make you pay for the brand rather than the product (aka Apple, MSI, Samsung, Sony...)

Also Online will be 10-20$ per month, a year is 120-240$. In two years you will spend lot of more money on a PS5 than on anything else worth the same or lower and yet have limited use and games to play.
Of course, the games are what makes the PS5 worth the console, it's not the console what makes them worth, unlike any other platform right now.


| >>704125 Also one more note, a personal one. RDR2 works max settings 60fps on my 800€ 2016 laptop. And didn't payed to play it Online. And it's not confirmed RDR2 coming to PS5 ( it will cause GTA5 is but yeah)
