If you look at the majority of the posts in this thread starting from the beginning people are far more caustic and negative on the XSX|S than the PS5. If anyone appears insecure it is PS5 owners which is pretty odd since so many of them feel it is the best console ever created. The people who were banned all made unfair jabs at the Xbox.

made a nice listing.
The Sony is the market leader predominately because MS made huge mistakes last generation and Sony stuck with the tried and true and kept releasing quality games. That is good on Sony and bad on MS but this is a new generation and both have their own lanes when it comes to delivering games. The PS5 'believes in generations' and looks to move to new hardware. MS stated, and was ridiculed for, 'not believing in generations' and wanted to provide support to people who bought the X1, PC, and even mobile phones. The XSS is a budget option for people who don't want to spend more than $400 for a entry way into the current gen. MS has pushed Game pass as an option for people who might not want to pay $70 for a single new release. Neither is right or wrong just different. For all the flak MS gets for Game pass from certain people here about 'renting' games, MS has done far more in preserving ownership of past purchases. I have a copy of Crimson Skies I bought in the early 2000s. I can pop it in my XSX and it will still play. I can't put ANY PS1 title in my PS5 and play it. That is interesting to see when the narrative is that MS doesn't want people to own their games.
I think we can all agree that Ratchet and Clank looks 'next gen' but outside of that I haven't seen any games from either company that is 'next gen'. I HAVE seen some next gen features though. The PS5 stuff with the video share and game look up is pretty nifty but I don't use it and it hasn't really been practical. Things like quick resume and FPS boost I have used but mostly because it just works and developers don't have to jump through hoops to get it to work. I have not been a fan of the 'next gen' UI on the PS5 that has less functionality than the PS4 UI. I'm glad they made some adjustments to the friends listing but I still feel like I have to dig to find features that were easy to find on the PS4. Couple that with some of the weird build issues on the PS5 like coil whine, loud fans, and hardware that still doesn't have full functionality and you can see that the PS5 is far from perfect.
If a person is fair they can see the positives with both devices. I am looking forward to seeing how this generation will play out and e3 will play a big role in that. I can appreciate the design choices and philosophies both have taken I just happen to prefer the moves MS has made more recently over Sony mostly because Sony is doing the same thing they have always done since the PS1. MS has been all over the map but they appear to have landed in a good place now. Gone is the Kinect and say what you want about Game pass it is about 'games' and that was the biggest criticism against MS in the past. Pretty sure all companies will be successful this go round. That means everyone wins and that most certainly is a good thing.
