Those haptics are the biggest advancement in game controllers since the analog stick IMO
I don't see how you can fault Sony, demand for the PS5 is simply far greater than for the Xbox. Microsoft didn't do anything special to make stores have more stock of their consoles, they're just not selling as fast as Sony's. And sure you can say they'll lose casual gamers now (which there is zero evidence of), but later in the year when the new God of War and Horizon games drop and there's more stock of PS5 they'll be back. I don't think it's even a question that Sony will win this generation in pure number of console sales 5 years down the road

That is 100% true, because Microsoft and XBOX don't care about winning the console war. They will win the player base on game subscription service war. Which just so happens seems like a much better business model. Recurring revenue is where it's at!
Also with the Xbox Gamepass app going to be made available on Smart TV's, that gives them one more place users can get into the XBOX universe. Oh yeah! and they are currently working on having Gamepass run via their new web browser Edge Chromium.
