You're sold to the Xbox ecosystem.

All Xbox games are available on PS5. You can play Forza Horizon just fine on PS5 but Ghost of Yotei is never coming to Xbox. Microsoft had to do this because Xbox sales are dismal (below Xbox One) and they're being outsold 3:1.

I'm probably sold as you said. There's no Halo on PS5, there's no Gears either. Not much into racing games so wouldn't know.

Ghosts of...Yes, I agree. I still need to get through the first one.

I still think I'm one of those outliers who isn't into games with cartoony graphics and titles like:

" Re:Coded Genesis — Moonlight Ephemera & The Seven-Fold Path of the Crimson Paradox: Definitive Resonance Edition"

(Disclaimer: I used AI to generate that ridiculous title and I think it's funny)

Edit: Daid -> Said

When did the last new Gears and Halo games come out again? 5+ years ago? That's what Xbox has, historic exclusives. Gears 1 Reloaded came to PS5, Halo: Campaign Evolved is coming to PS5. All the big recent Xbox games have either come to PS5 or are coming. Indiana Jones, Avowed, Flight Simulator 2024, Forza Horizon 5, etc. Then you have to remember most everything else but Halo 5 and a few Gears games were already on PC too.

The only reason to keep an Xbox these days is for your existing library.

Funky and weird JRPG titles and games with cartoony graphics and ridiculous titles are (a) a small percentage of the PlayStation library given that >99% of games are cross-platform, (b) not nearly global enough in their appeal or sales figures to make any disinterested persons the outliers, and (c) in my experience, many of them also release on Xbox, Switch, and/or PC.

I own no consoles and am neutral on JRPGs and cartoony graphics, so I have no skin in this game. But you seem oddly focused on writing off a functionally identical piece of hardware based on the existence of one particular genre that doesn't interest you.

Microsoft already announced Halo is coming to PS5. There are no more Xbox-exclusive games.

> There's no Halo on PS5, there's no Gears either.

There's Gears Reloaded, and the upcoming Halo remake will be on PS5.
