Anyone could make PSP cards and prices were far more competitive than PS Vita memory cards which were never officially made by anyone other than PS. Even so PS Vita memory cards were at worse 3 times the cost of similarly speced MicroSD cards and that was quickly rectified bringing prices down significantly to more closely align with MicroSD cards. I purchased 64GB Vita memory new at Best Buy for less than 50% more than 64GB of memory for a MicroSD neither card being on sale well before PS Vi...
The issue witt backing up saves is not as bad as I thought but it's still not as good as the PS4's options or PSP's options which were wholly open-ended. On PS5 you can back up all saves offline... problem is if something weird happens you have to restore the PS5 to the last back-up point which can be problematic in and of itself even if it technically works perfectly. It's a way slower process to restore a single game's save state while offline, free of charge.

My 5 year old laptop was nearly state of the art and doesn't even support gen 4 NVMe drives yet this article acts like next year gen 4 NVMe drives would be obsolete if not for PS5 and of course they ignore that Xbox Series is stuck gen 3 speeds... just my laptop. Trash article.

"Where are you getting $120 per year? Game Pass Ultimate is $15 and includes XBLG. So the upgrade would only be an extra $5 per month, which is $60. Why are you doubling it?"
Xbox Live Gold is $9.99/month.
Xbox Game Pass for Console is also $9.99/month. Copy-pasta from: https://www.microsoft.com/e...

More likely that the dust dominated your Xbox.
The award should be made out of cheap aluminum and be hollow inside like MS' empty output.
@Orchard
No irony here, you realize by saying this: "You played nothing because we have no games because the FTC didn't let us acquire Activision yet" that you give FTC the argument that MS' previous acquisitions were funbled by MS and that if the FTC were doing their job properly they 100% shouldn't let MS aquire them as all MS will do is destroy what little reputation and good games they have left... right!?
"MS openly stated they would support crossgen for 2 years"
And in that 2 years they released 3 or 4 games in maybe 5 - I feel like I must be forgetting something... Halo: Infinite (X/O/S/X & PC), Forza Horizon 5, (X/O/S/X & PC), Pentiment (X/O/S/X & PC), Ori and The Blind Forest (X/O/S/X & PC) isn't that all? Psychonauts was an acquisition made late in development so I don't count it (and it also launched on PS4 though MS seems to have blocked a nati...
@Logicwins
If great games were all you cared about... you would just buy a PS and call it a day, but you don't, why? What is so great about Xbox? Is it the ads on the dashboard, their controller's asymmetrical stick layout, their lack of quality games what is it that makes you defend Xbox?
When I play on PC I use the Xbox One gamepad I do have a favorite controller layout and that is PS' but I'm not handicapped or upset about using the Xbox One pad....
How often did any games use those motion controls on Switch?
How well were those controls regarded?
Why would their next console need to be portable if most people play at home anyway and you can use the other consoles via streaming when out and about.
How would they achieve 4K graphics in a portable form factor much less at Nintendo's 60FPS when the far bigger technology giants can't because that technology just doesn't exist. You really think...
Switch was never impressive. By the time it launched in March of 2017 The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 was already in some smartphones and the Samsung Galaxy S8 was less than 2 months away from launch. I showed Alien: Isolation running on my personal Samsung Galaxy S8 about a year ago now on Android 9 I showed GRID Autosport even earlier. Those two Feral Interactive ports are effectively the best looking games on Switch even outdoing the PS4 and PC versions with some settings! But even that being ...

More like 18 to 20 hours less battery life. Yeah DualSense is missing out on a lot of time and I can't say I don't think that is a knock on the device... but Xbox Gamepads do less much less and what I forgot to mention in my last is that they likely also skimp on BT radio power. When I use my Xbox One pad playing on my PC the controller is not even a foot away from the laptop and yet the controller still manages to lose connection to it. This doesn't happen with Du...
@Om4ever
If you disable haptics/triggers, the speaker mute the microphones and dim the LEDs DualSense battery life significantly improves. This is something people don't often because unlike back in the day with DS3 battery life (which was good) vibration was often disabled because it did not improve since PS1 and PS2 and it also interfered with Sixaxis control (which was seldom used by many including myself) but on DualSense the individual microcontroller boards are separated by...
Modding is an issue for a game actually attempting to be realistic. I've seen the AC mods some look great most do not.
Article was updated and therefore disproves what you wished it would rather prove.
@purple101
And that didn't happen...
Meanwhile Xbox 360, One and Series consoles have ads on their homescreens!
"Cause I know, and see through the fake outrage, and understand that it’s either this or pay more per game to maximize profits."
No you don't and MS is doing the second thing - raising game prices -and they will likely do the first thing as well adding more ads now into your paid Game Pass subscription.
How have these companies helped their respective industries? I personally have a Spotify account and sub frequently but they don't help their industries. At least music services like Apple Music and Spotify are useful for finding new music you might like. Can't really say that for Netflix with its atrociously limited selection of content and p••• poor search system. Xbox Game Pass is in the same boat as a service like Netflix. Not easy to find what you like and minimizes the likelihoo...
What a lot of people don't understand is that where they allow one ad... many more will eventually be allowed, because yes ads don't actually make a lot of money for the people selling space to show them.
Vita failed because of poor software support from 1st and 3rd parties. If Vita's memory cards were 99 cents for 64GB, would it matter if there were no games for it? Well the Vita really wound up getting very little big games. Killzone: Mercenaries, WipEout 2048, Uncharted: Golden Abyss and several watered down ports weren't enough to really keep the platform compelling. As a huge fan of PS I wound up finding time to finish my 3DS backlog before PS Vita was discontinued.
