      Xbox isn’t beating the PS5 in any part of Europe, it’s just a poorly written and phrased article and headline. The percentage by which the PS5 is outselling Xbox is lower in the UK than in the other countries cited, but still more than double.

      Well if you just wanna chill at your couch and play stuff xbox with the gamepass works like a dream. I 've had 100+ games available since day 1 (and yes, many of them are really, really good) while my friends have 3-4 games on the ps5 max.

      Not saying one is better than the other, but there are a lot of people like me out there who see the value of the whole xbox package. Don’t know what’s so hard to believe.

        I think more people are realizing that they’re quite happy with 3-5 games per year Vs temporary access to hundreds that they don’t have time to play all of them

            Not if you’re a smart shopper and buy most of your games during sales, even including 1 or 2 day-1 event AAA games in there

          That’s a statement you pulled out of your head.

          As I said, there are people who are perfectly happy with 3-5 games a year, and there are people who are perfectly happy with the gamepass.

          Statements like “I cant believe more people would own an xbox!!!” make absolutely no sense. Xbox targets a very different crowd. Its definitely a smaller one, but its still a sizeable market segment.
