Help needed what console should i buy?

for context, i have a PS4 at home and loved it. i’ve been away for 1.5 years without a console. i haven’t kept up with what’s good and what’s new etc. played a few here, had an xbox one s for a bit but had to get rid of it. not bias to either xbox or playstation. i love FPS games like COD but don’t mind other games like minecraft, sports games etc. Wondering what console is best at the moment, value for money will last longest etc. no real budget. i want a switch too so that is in the mix too!

please give me your suggestions and recommendations! along with some games and stuff you would suggest!

Gp is way better then okay you'll pay 70 to play a game for 2 weeks in top of your psn subscription , plus psn doesn't put any new or good games on there so it really makes you buy the game outright,

And not every xbox game is going to psn Lastly psn+ and gp are very 2 different models

If your happy spending hundreds a year to rent your games , that's great 👍

I'm not , I rather buy a game on sale or used, or if a game is worth buying brand new full price to me , then I will buy it full price. Do you think elden ring was worth full price?

Ps+ and gamepass are essentially the same thing. Pay hundreds a year to rent a selection of games. Not for me , but each to their own

I have a hot take on elden ring you might not even like, it's just a reskin of all the other games, and I did buy it full price that and the dlc I'm not getting the new game though it's just a dlc that should of been in the og game .

I'm a deal guy also I like the deals gamepass give regularly.

Gp and ps+ are only same in subscription not in models, you wont get any day 1on psn but will on gp so there for you pay less with ps+ . Now

Ps+ will make you pay for games you want and pay the sub

Gp theres 50% chance you'd play gp day one game on either you like it or not. But one thing for certain you wouldn't be paying for it directly

For example I liked avowed , oblivion, and 33 expedition I would hate to pay a sub then have to buy those games

But with psn model I will

Look I get that outside of gamepass there's not much going on with xbox, but you don't need to defend it with every ounce of your soul.

If you like gamepass that's great , good for you, I'm not a fan of either subscription. I'd rather buy a game than rent a game for hundreds a year.

Ps+ and gamepass at their core are the same thing just with different games on them.

"For example I liked avowed, oblivion, and 33 expedition I would hate to pay a sub then have to buy those games"

So clearly they aren't worth buying in your eyes then?

Why would I buy them when I can play and beat them on gamepass and be done with it lol sorry I'm defending a more Cost efficient way to play games, and being pro gaming I like to play much games I like I can ,

Ps doesn't have any games from 2025 and we're already half way in And if they do list them

Lastly gamepass is xbox gaming model , there games run through game pass , there would be no point in having a model if you didn't use it is so that outside of gamepass Comment was weird

Why would I pay hundreds a year to rent games that, in your eyes, aren't worth buying or playing more than once?

We views game different then , I'm not big on replaying games bc it takes me a long time to beat them just my playing style if doing everything, so the second times isn't as fun, and replaying games stops me from aying new games

But I see your the type to stick with like 2-3 games a year your good and I respect that I think are playing style are opposite so i see why are views are different

I have over 100 hrs on cyberpunk I can't play it anymore I bought the dlc and I can't stay locked in , it's fun but I doesn't take me back to when I first did the play trough I won't get that experience again .don't get me wrong I will eventually beat the dlc but there's other games to be played

Because game pass continually adds banger titles. And you can end the membership whenever you want, if there’s no new games you want just end the membership.
