Alright, so I can't believe this hasn't been discussed here yet, but what are some of your opinions regarding our upcoming next generation consoles: the Microsoft Xbox Series X and Sony PlayStation 5?
Xbox Series X
PlayStation 5
PlayStation 5 DualSense controller
Obviously we haven't seen too much in the looks department yet regarding the PS5, but we have seen the dev kits out in the wild and the new controller. As always, an iteration on the previous gen of DualShock controllers, but definitely a bigger *looking* leap this time around.
I just built a PC and my Xbox One is still solid so I am somewhat in a position to just sit back and watch the next-gen unfold, but at the same time I have purposely not upgraded to an Xbox One X (to get the native 4k rendering capability and finally take advantage of the beautiful 4k tv) in anticipation of whatever was going to come next.
