Launching a new console can be a bit of a hassle, especially before you get the next-generation hardware yourself. And I got it. You’re committed to spending a lot of money on that preorder for something you’ve never used before. And I think it increases someone’s reaction to negative news. But I’m here to let you know that you can stop panicking about PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Sony and Microsoft have got this (although not Amazon and Walmart).
The Xbox Series X is launching on November 10 for વધુ 500 with the more affordable Xbox Series S November 300. The PlayStation 5 is launching on November 12 at $ 500 with a more affordable $ 400 digital edition. The wait is almost over, but you can start to let go of your worries right now.
First, these are both great devices. Back in 2013, Microsoft was not sure about the future of .ft and Sony consoles. That’s why they built underpowered systems from old laptop hard drives. That’s why Sony didn’t start releasing giant first-party games regularly until about 2015. Oh, and that’s why Microsoft talked more about TV than sports during its launch.
That has changed. Console Gaming has proven to be an resilient market with an enthusiastic audience that costs a lot of money. And Sony and MicroSFT are not entering the next pay generation with modestly cheap consoles – they are flooding the future with cutting edge SSDs, CPUs and GPUs.
Reviews emphasize the quality engineering, speed and power of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. And I think most people understand that both companies are serious about sports – that’s why so many of us have started emphasizing small details.
Friends, all the pods are news
I like to talk about upcoming games and hardware. It’s fun to try to figure out what’s going to happen. But I also try to remember something important: I never mind how I feel before something comes out.
This is an extraordinary phenomenon that we have seen in video games playing on a large scale. My favorite example is the discomfort surrounding the downscaling of poodles in Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4. In the early screenshots or trailers, the poodles were very reflective. Then in another trailer near the launch, the poodles looked a little different.
Of course, once Sony and Insomniac released Spider-Man, no one talked about Pudgal again. It was all nonsense – except that it was a reflection of people letting their expectations turn into anxiety.
Now, I use the term “paddle news” whenever I see people working on some of the perceived issues with unrealistically generated products.
And something like that is happening with the console right now.
The non-existent heat problems of the Xbox Series X is a bit of poodle news. But now people are becoming insecure about Xbox UI. Over the weekend, when it comes to updating the UKX, I posted a video of Mike Minotti, editor of Gamesbet reviews, and I talk about the binary vision of Microsoft .ft and Sony, and many Xbox fans rushed to the defense of Microsoft.
But in the video, we rarely criticize the micro .ft. And this discussion is something that most commentators won’t even remember when they started playing Xbox Series X.
The UI works, and it’s all important when you actually use it.
Sony is listening
When it comes to the PS5, this week we learned that you can’t store next-gen games on an external USB drive. Sony had previously confirmed that you must play PS5 games with internal SSD storage. But now we know that if you want to make more space on that drive, you’ll need to delete some of your PS5’s games and then download them again (or install them from disk).
Today, however, Sony said it is considering addressing the issue. Here is a note of the PS5 FAQ:
No, players cannot transfer PS5 games to a USB drive. PS5 games must be stored on the console’s built-in ultra-high speed SSD for gameplay. A future update is underway to allow players to store (but not play) PS5 games on a USB drive.
Similarly, Insomnia today announced that it is working on an update to transfer players to the PS4 Spider-Man Save PS5 remaster. This came after Sony originally said it would not transfer the saved.
We’ve heard you – in the next update for # Spidermanps4, We’ll add the ability to export your save to Marvel’s Spider-Man reminder. This update will also add three new costumes from the remaster to the PS4 game. We look forward to bringing you this update around Thanksgiving. pic.twitter.com/EqoKnto3FV

These are some of the basic features that we should expect Sony to be able to handle. But I think some fans are worried that maybe Sony’s leadership will look arrogant after the success of PS4. But it seems clear that is not the case. The company is listening, and if fans want something that feels reasonable (such as the ability to store PS5 games), Sony will work on it.
On the eve of the next-gen console launch, gaming fans should focus on it. Both of these companies now invest in aming unda gaming. PlayStation is Sony’s most important segment. Microfte has spent 7. 7.5 billion to acquire Bethesda alone to add more content to the game pass.
These companies are not spending all this money just to screw up small stuff. They want to get these things right, and I’m sure they will both.
So let’s all take a deep breath and look forward to playing some games.
