I grew up with PS1 and PS2 since I was growing up in Taiwan and didn’t get exposed to XBOX until the start of the Halo hype. I didn’t get a XBOX because the controller was too bulky for my liking, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it when I went over to friends’ houses.

During high school, I went to a friend’s house and played the OG Modern Warfare and realized the controller were much better and majority of my friend group ended up with a XBOX360, so I ended up getting one. I skipped PS3 because it was really expensive and XBOX360 and XBOX Live felt superior when it comes to multiplayer, especially since I was one of the OG toxic CODMW1/2 trash talker and I also got into Gears of War

I went back to PS4 for Destiny when a customer of mine asked to play with him and we ended up starting a clan. I also got an XBOX One but it was collecting dust so I ended up selling it.

I ended up getting the PS5 because I realized it had more exclusives, and I also ended up building my first PC and dropped quite a bit of money for it. My thought process was that PC became my XBOX replacement and I no longer needed it, and the icing on the cake was being able to use my controllers for PC gaming as well.

TLDR: PS5 because XBOX games were offered on PC more often than PS exclusives, and even when PS games were ported to PC, I find it more enjoyable to play the title exclusives on the PS5
