Back off I'll take you on
Hop on I'll crank off anyone
Retro and switch/pc 
I'm poor
We love you dirt owl.
Fuuck yeah sames
If I was a millionaire I'd buy you a house and a fancy gaming pc
But I'm not 
i prefer linux
The series x/s is largely just an Xbox one two, whereas the ps5 feels like an actual step up.
A Linux pc is infinitely better than both at literally everything

Quickly, which Ryzen APU should one buy for iGPU performance on par with current consoles??
pointless
Infinity Fabric is the name for the interconnect between CCXs in all Ryzen CPUs... I've never been clear on how memory sharing works in consoles 'cause Idek, I tend to view it the same as all iGPUs do it, that you just allocate however much (2GB, 4GB) memory to GPU and the rest to the CPU.OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!
What's the point of getting a PS5 or Xbox instead of a PC?
I've played friends Series X before and really like the PS5 compared to it, but fwiw I only personally have put more than a few hours into anything but the PS5 since I only own a PS5/PC. The DS5 controllers are probably the best iteration of them in my opinion but they are $80.00/controller so 
Go get a series x i don't want anyone else other than me having a ps5
i don't think so bud I'm playing Elden Ring I'm playing Street Fighter I'm doing shit you've never seen before on the Demon Souls remake
This is going to sound like an ad regardless of how I say it but I have both and I basically never use the PS5. I have small children though and game pass has been incredible for giving us a constant stream of entertainment for years now. We did really enjoy PS5 the first year or two but just kinda dropped off after a while.
Thats where Microsoft shines (as much as the shitheads can) is if you're a broke ass gamer (like most of us hexbears). Game pass is an amazing deal, probs the best deal in gaming until micro inevitably raises the price.
I basically don't buy games anymore lol. It def seems unsustainable af but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts
Yeah you can current gen game on even a series s if you don't mind 1080p for cheap as fuck with game pass. (Relatively speaking ofc)
Honestly I still have to give credit where credit is due. As much as everyone's struggling lately, it's the perfect deal 200 dollar Series S on sale or used, and then game pass.
Best deal in gaming is a PC with a torrent client
i prefer se-x 
Switch fo EVAH
Back down I'll beat you up
My coworker and I had to google "current generation xbox" to remember what it was called so PS5 wins by a country mile.
Game consoles have too much tax in this country so I could get a 32 gb ram 7500 ryzen and 4070 prebuilt pc for a price close to ps5. You can get a prebuilt for cheap if you hunt for deals
What I do not get is: the SX has a much better GPU than the PS5, and yet many games run better on PS5...?
Not sure either. I have a series S, a switch lite and a PS5. Haven't used a Series X yet.
Main obstacle I see is, the PS5 runs some PS4 games really well, cool exclusives like Bloodborne, Gravity Rush, Tearaway... what's the Xbox got? Did Xbox One have gaems? 
Backwards compatibility is actually where xbox shines. A solid amount of games from the 360 and xbone will play right off the disk on a series x. When they drop in price they'll be worth picking up as a retro machine.
Meanwhile sony has a pathetic library of their classics and you have to rebuy them all digitally.
I disagree =) I mean sure, it plays a couple 360 games but A) it's like 600 out of a library of 2100, which is a step back from the 360's already poor ~570/1100 original Xbox games, B) while good stuff like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are available, it's missing a bunch of critical 360 bangers like PGR 3 and 4, Amped 3, the Forza Motorsport games, basically anything with licensing issues is screwed forever. On the PS3 I did not have to wait for Sony to work out the rights on the Wipeout Fusion soundtrack before putting it in my PS3!
A lot of the 360 BC is filled out with games that are way better either on PC or in a modern rerelease on SX: original Mass Effect 3 is backward compat? Okay... Looking at it pragmatically, a PS5 completely replaces a PS4, and runs literally every game (bar like three nobody cares about) better than a PS4. A Series X will never be a 360 replacement, I still need a 360, so I don't think SX BC is that useful. I would rather have the full PS4 library than like a quarter of 360 games. I have to keep both a 360 and PS3 anyway, so...
I still have a ps3 and 360, but the ps3 gets more use because all my favourites on 360 can be played better elsewhere.
If i wanna play Infamous I can't get that anywhere, the ratchet and clank games are nowhere to be found. The Jak games got rereleased, but they're expensive. Sony totally abandoned their back catalogue. The original ps3 model had good backwards compatibility, but those aren't very available and also will eventually break if you actually use it.
I mean, sure, you can play the soundtrack of some more games? But i don't think many people are still putting in their ost cds in their consoles.
It's true that most 360 headliners got onboard the ark. Halo games, the Gears games are about to get rereleased, Dead Rising, stuff like that. But there are some games that have no PC port (Forza 4, PGR 3/4, Import Tuner, the Ubisoft Naruto games, Crackdown) and even for the ones that're backward compat (Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon) it's no way worth getting an XB One or SX when not all 360 games work anyway.
I will admit my PS3 gets more use too, partly because I installed PS3HEN on it so I can 
and also because yeah, the exclusives are way better. Infamous 1 & 2, every Motorstorm game, Demon's Souls, LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2, The Puppeteer, Folklore, all that good shit. Also there are some games that are on other platforms but end up better on PS3 anyway, like Alone in the Dark Inferno or Fatal Interia EX =)
PS5 by a long shot. I have both, Series X is more powerful, a lot of multiplatform games run slightly better on it, and it’s backwards compatibility is great for playing older games that don’t have PC ports in high def (ex. RDR1 runs at 4k on Series X), but it’s overall just a worse console with worse games. Plus if literally can’t be set up without internet connection and when XBl went down the other day it became a literal brick, wouldn’t even play my disc based games.
I have neither, but I would not scoff at a PS5, for some of the exclusives (like tlou) or games that my pc can't handle. There are no exclusives on the xbox that interest me
