For a long time, I wanted to get a PS5 or "the new xbox", whatever the heck it was named. I was in a big box store and saw what I thought was one of the new ones when they were still hard to find. But, I had no cell signal in the store, so I couldn't look up info on it. I couldn't verify if it was the new one, or the old one, since their stupid naming scheme was so arbitrary and hard to remember if you weren't already in their ecosystem. I didn't buy it, and later found the one I saw was the newest one. I ended up eventually finding and buying a PS5. I doubt I am the only one, but even if so, they did not make a sale to one person because of their stupid naming scheme. With Playstation system naming, there is no confusion.

I didn't even know they released a new console for about a year because I thought everyone was talking about the same thing.

Xbox 360 is the goat 🐐

I find it surprising that the PS5 is beating the PS4 in popularity, it honestly feels like a flop in comparison from how I remember the PS4 being at this point of time.

Is there a way to use the Xbox controller with the PS5? Asking for a person who is fed up with Xbox’s idiocy but loves their controller.

You can probably get third party stuff with similar ergonomics.

Are new titles still being released for the most popular Xbox platform? Asking BCOS I have one.

So yhe 360 is the lowest selling of the mainline xboxes, that doesnt seem right to me.
