I can see why people would say that
but shyt is flames ... games look way better/smoother
you're prepared for whatever comes
and you get the old shyt upscaled
not to mention all the other features between either console (better control with PS, Quick Resume with XB.)
you dont gotta upgrade, but when do you? If you upgrade you get all the benefits of before and then some
think about PS digital, at a point I needed a new controller... the whole shyt is 400$
basically instead of just buying a control for 60$ ... you grab the console and have the control thrown in
you are paying like 335$ for just the upgrade. If they would have planned the drops better you could have traded in a console and paid next to nothing for a new console
benefits of having both consoles is you can jump back and forth and let the games stack on each one. I'll do some Xbox Gamepass shyt for a few months, then jump over and grab all the PS shyt on sale. You can save alot of money just jumping from sale to sale.
