Can you tell me pros and cons of Ps5 and Switch 2?
Which should i buy?
I need to upgrade my game console
>>
Switch 2 plays Nintendo games

PS5 plays basically everything except Nintendo games

The only deciding factor should be how much you want to play Nintendo games

>>PS5
>Pros
-Proper physical copies are guaranteed.
-Controller is, in my opinion, the best Playstation controller even with the awful d-pad.
-Performance is mostly alright across the board.
-Gets pretty much any important game the Switch 1 or 2 will when it comes to third-parties, will run better, and will look better.
-Will get more multiplat games in general because it's simply stronger than the Switch 2.
>Cons
-Is huge and if you don't get the Slim model it doesn't look at good.
-Screenshots are forced to be at 4K unlike a PS4 Pro.
-If you buy the Pro you are getting a downgrade to the base PS5 despite spending more money.
-Some PS4 games are broken on the platform in its entirety, and games that had issues on the PS4 Pro with Boost Mode on have the same issues on a PS5.

-The "Other" section on the PS5 bloats if you don't install PS4 games to an external hard drive so you are guaranteed to have this get large with no way to clear it barring a factory reset.
-First party titles are few and far between.

>Switch 2
>Pros
-You have access to the entire Switch 1 library which are all guaranteed to run better than the Switch 1, and the only games that don't work are ones that relied on external gimmicks like the Labo or Mario Kart RC car thing. They are also games not on the PS4 or PS5.
-Joycons and build quality are much better than the Switch 1.
-Comes with Nintendo first party games which consistently release.
-Comes with the smaller indie and Japanese games that don't really have an audience on Sony platforms.
>Cons
-Game Key Cards are garbage and they are a majority of the physical releases at this point for Switch 2 versions.
-Going forward the Switch 2 is going to get worse versions of multiplats. We're already seeing this happen as we speak.
-Expensive for what it's worth unless you didn't own an OLED Switch.
-You have to pay for most Switch 2 upgrades or devs don't even provide them.

Do you have a switch 1 or ps4? If you have a PS4 and a Switch 1, then you're better off upgrading the PS4.

What do you mean by that? I have no clue what the pro does aside from being more powerful.

It introduces PSSR (Sony's proprietary AI upscaling) which makes most games look worse and can't be turned off, and then a lot of the visual features they turn on make the games run worse than a base PS5. Silent Hill 2 is a good example where the PS5 Pro is worse than the base PS5, Alan Wake 2 is another one. The only games that actually benefit from a PS5P are The Last of Us 1 Remake, The Last of Us 2 Remastered, Death Stranding 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Final Fantasy XVI, and Stellar Blade.

In general it lets Quality modes run at 60, but the trade off is that they look much worse to do so, and any games that do get improvements that I didn't list are so negligible you can't even discern it without a side-by-side.

>Final Fantasy XVI
That got an update?

>I need to upgrade my game console
Why? What for?

In this case no, I believe it just runs it far better.
