I'm talking about Series X. It's seamless.

I never even tried in the 360 days.

The Xbox One flopped because of their tone deaf e3 presentation that Sony capitalized on. It turned the entire community against them.

Then fast forward a few years and there's almost no exclusives. The PS4 had a ton.

I could complain all day about how sparse the PS5s exclusives are, but it doesn't matter since it's still better than Xbox, and only relevant if you're also into PC gaming since you end up with most of their "exclusives" anyway. Personally I'll never be able to consider a game exclusive if it also comes out in PC... Why would I buy your console, then?

It's easy to land on the PC+Nintendo setup. Especially when you're not okay with pirating current gen Nintendo.

The issue is that Sony is lacking in exclusives too, but they're still the best option for people who are afraid of PC.

If you own a PC there's little incentive to buy either Sony/MS console. You'll likely end up with a PC+Nintendo setup in order to play the only platform that actually pumps out consistent unique exclusives that aren't also on PC.

Unless you're okay with pirating, then you'll probably only have a Steam Deck or PC. But I don't consider piracy a valid part of the conversation since most consumers are not going to be comfortable with that. Of course it has to be mentioned before the gotcha replies flood in all "I play Nintendo on my Deck." Yes, we know. That's not the point. You're also not playing online games like Splatoon.

I digress, something people fail to realize about the Steam Deck is that - despite being a handheld - it's competing way more with the PS5 than the Switch.
