If I'd been able to get a PS5, I'd probably have one now and not an Xbox. Sony's botched launch lasting for months and months has to be costing them more customers than just me.
I have said this previously, my PS5 has sat unused for the last month or two. I had fun with the few games it had at launch but nothing has kept me playing games on the PS5. Gamepass is such a selling point that I find myself finding new and fun yet stupid games to play. I am currently just wrapping up The Touryst which I would have never played if not for Gamepass.
