PS5 vs. Switch vs. XBOXSX - THUNDERDOME Version 2.0

Price increases for consoles a trend? They're certainly no longer getting discounts over time. $100+ Price increases at the end life seems crazy.

Never thought I'd see the day when being an early adopter would almost save money.

Like GPUs, if dorks are dumb enough to buy them at the inflated prices, manufacturers are going to keep charging higher prices.

I guess Nintendo isn't one to gloat, because it's also the fastest selling console of all-time.

Further cementing that I cannot forecast anything effectively. I was sure the price would scare people off. I acknowledged I'm a cheap person, but still felt that number was crazy. Those are great numbers for the industry in general.

availability has a lot to do with it

Looking at a gaming update. Moving up from a base PS4. My sister has gamepass and the price for access to that library seems ridiculous.

Is it best to upgrade to PS5 or should I get something else with gamepass in mind? Do I need a new gen Xbox or is there a better way to do it?

Any recommendations welcome

It depends how much you like Playstation's exclusives. Playstation Plus isn't as good as Game Pass though since Game Pass has day 1 releases. If you were set on moving to Xbox I would get a Series X since it's more powerful than the S.

I do PS5+PC+Game Pass PC which I don't pay for because I just build up Microsoft Reward Points and redeem them for a month.
