Listen up retards. Do you happen to feel regret because you always think “ohhh if I yoloed my savings on TSLA/AMD/NVDA 🚀 leaps years ago I could be rich by now!!!”
Well if you didn't know already, it doesn’t really matter what happened in the past. Hindsight will always be 20/20. You shouldn’t be harsh on yourself on your past self that your past self wasn’t retarded enough to yolo their savings into AMD/TSLA/.... Your past self doesn’t have the same knowledge that your current self has. It’s fine. If you judged those stocks with the best DD you could do at the time and didn’t think they were worth it, then you did a good job.
If you always think about what you could/should have done in the past, then you don't have the right attitude to play the stock market casino imho.
The single most important thing is to be able to look ahead. There are always plenty of opportunities around. There are thousands of rockets that are still on earth right now. Some may depart this year, others will stay a little longer on earth. The true strength lies in being able to identify those rockets with the knowledge you have right now. And if you still miss most rockets that will take-off this year that's fine, maybe you'll learn, get better and you'll do better next year.
Now, what if I told you there’s a big rocket that’s parked right right here on earth and it has decent chance for take-off this year? Maybe it won't quite reach the moon this year yet, but hey leaving the exosphere should already be a cool milestone.
It has rock-solid fundamentals and will see lots of growth in the following years/decade.
It’s a company that has the fundamental technology to power all the computer vision tech, which is bound to boom this decade.
The company we’re talking about is of course Sony, and it is extremely undervalued right now.
Its P/E is only 14. They have a P/S of 1.65, a PEG of 0.92 (< 2 is already somewhat exceptional for a company/conglomerate of Sony’s size, under 1 is a steal)
Much lower than all of its same-sector peers. This indicates significant undervaluation.
Next up Sony has a P/CF 13.2, ROE of 20% (S&P 500 average is 14% which would already be considered pretty good. 20% ROE is excellent), PEGY of 0.89, P/B of 2.65 and finally Sony has $41.6B in cash on hand. This makes Sony one of the cheapest tech/entertainment/EV/semiconductor growth stocks you will find on the market.
(ROE of 20% + PEGY of 0.89 + PEG of 0.92 means this company is a growth stock based on the numbers alone, but we’ll dig into the actual company and overall outlook in a moment)
I challenge all retards to find a company with similar benchmarks in one of the mentioned sectors, seriously.
Quite frankly doing this DD honestly blew my mind. I kept looking everywhere for reasons why the company could be so undervalued and why they may struggle in the future. Very important to look at all the challenges the company faces to make sure I’m not just doing confirmation bias DD. But all I could find was the opposite. After several weeks and months of working on this DD, I can only conclude that it is overall a very solid company for a bargain price. The new CEO is taking the company in a great direction imho and I'm begin to think he could be Sony's Satya Nadella.
So if you want some easy tendies, maybe consider $SNE while it is still cheap, I’d say.
For the autists out there who care about analyst ratings, SONY ($SNE) currently has 18 BUY ratings, 2 OVERWEIGHT, 4 HOLD and 0 SELL. (= analyst consensus is a STRONG BUY). Very little analysts cover this stock compared to other entertainment/tech companies, so this adds to my assertion that the stock is very much under the radar. Which means you have time to get in before it gets noticed by the larger investing world and before it starts to get a more fair valuation (P/E of around 30 would be more fair for this company I think, but still cheaper than many same sector peers). But, anyway the few analysts who do happen to cover this company are basically all saying it’s an instant-buy at its current price.
Most boomer investors still think big Japanese tech companies are dinosaurs that have long been surpassed by China, South Korea and Apple etc ages ago. Young boomers may think Sony = PlayStation and that it's it. But the truth is that PlayStation, while very important (about 24% of Sony's total revenue last year), is a part of a larger story.
Lots of investors in general associate Sony with the passé Japanese electronics companies from the 80’s and the 90’s. Just like a lot people may think BlackBerry is a struggling phone company.
While Sony may not be the powerhouse in consumer electronics it was in the 80’s and the 90’s, in a lot of ways they are more relevant than ever before. Despite being a well-known brand and being known as the company behind PlayStation, for some reason its stock still seems to be under the radar among both retail and institutional investors. And boy, are they mind-blowingly undervalued. Even if a big part of its business would collapse tomorrow, they would still be slightly undervalued. And I am about to tell you why.
(& btw compared to Japanese tech/entertainment stocks $SNE is still super cheap (Canon, Nikon, Toshiba, Sharp, Panasonic, Square Enix, Capcom, Nintendo, Fujitsu all have P/E ratios ranging from 18 to 77 and none of them have the combination of global clout, fundamentals & growth prospects that Sony has))
2021 Sony as a corparation is not the fucking Sony from 2005-2015’s, just like BlackBerry in 2021 is not the fucking Blackberry from 2012. Just like Garmin in 2021 is not Garmin from 2011. Just like AMD in 2021 is not AMD from 2012.
No, in 2021, Sony is the global leader in imaging technology and people do not fucking realize it. Sony has 50% marketshare in the CMOS image sensor market. There’s a very good chance the smartphone in your pocket has Sony image sensors (unless it’s a Samsung phone). Sony image sensors are powering a big part of today's vision/camera technology. And they will power even more of tomorrow's computer vision tech.
In 2021, Sony is a behemoth in video games, music, anime, movies and TV show production. Sony is present in every segment of entertainment. Sony’s entertainment branches have been doing great business over the past 5 years, especially music and PlayStation. Additionally, Sony Pictures has completely turned around.
In 2021, Sony is the world’s biggest music publisher (and second biggest music company overall). Music streaming has been a boon for Sony Music and will continue to be.
In 2021, Sony is among the biggest mobile gaming companies in the world (yes, you read that right). And it’s mainly thanks to one game (Fate/Grand Order) that nets them over $1B revenue each year. One of the biggest mobile gaming companies + arguably biggest gaming brand in the world (PlayStation).
In 2021, Sony is an EV company. They surprised the world when they revealed their “Vision-S” at CES 2020. At the reception was fantastic. It is seriously one of the best looking EV’s. They already sell sensors to Toyota. Sony will most like sell the Vision-S's tech to other car manufacturers (sensors for driving assistence / autonomous driving, LiDAR tech, infotainment system).

40 sensors in the Sony Vision-S
Considering the overwhelmingly good reception of the Vision-S so far, I suspect the Vision-S could be another catalyst that will put Sony as a company on the radar of investors and consumers.
We've seen insane investment hype for anything even remotely related to EV over the past year. We've seen a company that barely had a few EV design concepts (oh wait, they had a gravity-powered truck though) even get a $30B market cap at some point lmao.
But somehow a profitable company ($SNE) that has an EV that you can actually drive, doesn't even have a fair valuation?
In 2020’s Sony’s brand value is at their highest point since 12 years. In 2021, it is projected to be a its highest point since 2001 assuming same growth as average yearly growth from 2015 to 2020. Keep in mind brand valuation is a bit bullshitty as there’s no standardization to compare brands from different sectors, let alone non-consumer-facing brands with consumer-facing brands. But one thing we can note is that Sony both as B2C brand and as a B2B company is on a big upwards trend.

In 2021, Sony is an entertainment behemoth. They have grown their entertainment branches by a huge amount over the past 5 to 10 years (they made some big acquisitions in the music space especially and they’re now also all-in in anime). I don’t think people realize how big Sony is as an entertainment company. I dug up the numbers and as of Q3 2020, PlayStation is the second biggest video game company in the world (Tencent is #1) in revenue (I suspect Sony might dethrone Tencent after Sony’s FY Q3 2020 is released). But Sony already comes very close to Tencent especially if you add Fate/Grand Order (which is under Sony Music and not under PlayStation) under PlayStation.
There’s no single other company that has this unique combination of a dominant/important position in all entertainment segments. (video games + music + movies + TV series + anime + TV networks). I guess Tencent maybe?
In 2021, Sony has amazing momentum in the camera space. If you’re familiar with the enthusiast photography space, you should know this. Basically, the market is slowly shifting from SLR to mirrorless cameras. This is because mirrorless cameras tend to smallelighter, have faster AF, better low light performance, better battery life and better video performance. Sony is the company that has been specializing in the development for mirrorless cameras for over a decade while Canon’s bread and butter has always been SLR cameras. Sony is in the lead when it comes to mirrorless cameras and that’s where the market is shifting towards. Because the advantages of mirrorless have become more and more apparent and Sony’s cameras have become technically superior, Sony has gained quite a bit of market share over Canon and Nikon in the last few years. In 2019, Sony overtook Nikon as the #2 camera manufacturer. Sony is in an upwards trend here. (they have the ambition to become the world’s #1 camera brand) Sony also has very good marketing for their cameras. (Sony has a lot of YouTubers / influencers / brand ambassadors for their cameras despite being a smaller brand than Canon)
(just search on YouTube and/or Google “switching to Sony from Canon” just to give you an idea that they do have amazing brand momentum in the camera space. You won’t get as many hits for the opposite)
A huge portion of Sony’s profit comes from image sensors in addition to music and video games. This is in addition to their highly profitable financial holdings division & their more moderately profitable electronics division.
Sony’s electronics division, unlike other Japanese brands, has shown great resilience against the very strong competition from China & South Korea. They have been able to maintain their position in the audio space and as of 2020 are still the global market leader in high-end TV’s (a position they have been holding for decades) and it seems they will continue to be able to maintain that.
But seriously this company is dirt-cheap compared to any of its peers in any segment and there’s various huge growth prospects for Sony:

CMOS image sensors & Sony’s overall imaging prowess will boom due to increased demand from automotive sector, security & surveillance industry, manufacturing industry, medical sector and finally from the aerospace & defence industry. On the longer term, image sensors will continue to boom due to increased demand for computer vision & AI + robotics. And for consumer electronics demand will remain very high obviously.
Sony is aiming for 60% market share in the CMOS image sensor market by 2026. Biggest threat here is Samsung here who have recently started to aggressively invest in image sensors and are challenging Sony. Sony has technological lead + higher production capacity (and Sony will soon open a new plant in Nagasaki), so Sony should be able to hold off Samsung.
The iPhone 12 Pro has 3 cameras + a lidar sensor. Apple now buys 3 image sensors (from Sony) + LiDAR sensor (from Sony) per iPhone 12 Pro they manufacture. Remember the iPhone X and iPhone XS? That one had “only” 2 rear cameras (with image sensos from Sony of course). Basically, Sony will be selling exponentially more image sensors as more smartphones get equipped with more and more cameras.
Now think about how many image sensors Sony can sell to Apple if the iPhone 13 will have 5 cameras + LiDAR sensor (I mean the number of cameras on smartphones certainly won’t decrease)
Gaming (PS5 hype, PSN game sales are booming, add-on content is booming, PS+ subscribers count is booming and finally PSNow & first-party games sales are trending upwards as well). Very consistent year-on-year profit & revenue growth here. They have a history of beating earnings expectations here. The number of PS+ subscribers went from 4M to 48M in just 6-7 years. Investors love to hype up recurring revenue and subscription services such as Disney+ and Netflix. Let’s apply the same logic to PS+? PS+ already has more subscribers than HBO Max in the USA.
PlayStation (video games in general) has not even scratched the fucking surface. Most people who play video games now are millennials and kids. Do you think those millennials will stop playing video games when they grow older? No, of course not. Boomers today also still watch movies and TV. Those millennials have kids and those kids are now also playing video games. The kids of those kids will also play video games etc. Basically the total addressable audience for video games will by HUGE by the end of the decade (and the decades after that) because video games will have penetrated all age ranges of the population. Gaming is the fastest growing segment of the whole entertainment business. By a large margin. PlayStation is obviously in a great position here as you can guess from the PS5 hype, but more importantly imho, the growth of PS+ subscribers (currently a bit under 50 million) and PSN users (>100 million MAU) over the past 5 years shows that PlayStation is primed to profit from the audience growth.
On top of that you have huge video game growth in the China where Sony & PlayStation is already much better established than Xbox (but still super small compared to mobile games and PC gaming in China). Within the console market, Xbox only competes with PlayStation in North America. In the rest of the world, PlayStation has an enormous lead over Xbox. Xbox is simply a lesser known and lesser desirable brand in the rest of the world
Anime streaming (basically they have a monopoly already + vertical integration, it might still be somewhat niche right now, but it will be big within 5 years. Acquiring Crunchyroll was a very good move)
Music streaming (no, they don’t have a music streaming service, but as music streaming grows, Sony Music also gets a piece of the growing pie through licensing/royalties, and they also still have a little 2.8% stake in Spotify)
Apple, Amazon, Netflix, AT&T and Disney are currently battling it out in the streaming wars. When there’s a war you have little chances of winning, you shouldn’t be the one waging the war. You should be the one selling the ammo. Basically Sony Pictures (tv shows + movies) is in that position. Sony Pictures can negotiate good prices for their content because Apple, Amazon, Netflix, AT&T are thirsty for content and they all want their own exclusive content. Sony Pictures does not need to prop up their own streaming service just like Sony Music doesn’t need their own music streaming service when they can just license out their content and turn a profit. There will always be demand for TV & movies content, so Sony Pictures is well positioned is as an independent content provider. And while Apple, Amazon, Netflix, AT&T and Disney are battling it out on the forefront, Sony is quietly building their anime empire in the background. Genius business move from Sony here, seriously. They now have anime production & distribution.
Netflix has 200M subscribers and they currently have a 250M market cap. Think about what Sony will have in 5 years? >30M Crunchyroll subscribers (assuming all anime will be consolidated into Crunhyroll) & >100M PS+ & PSNow subscribers? Anime and gaming is growing faster than movies and TV shows. (9% CAGR for anime, 12% CAGR for gaming vs. 5% CAGR for the whole movies & TV show entertainment segment which includes PVOD, SVOD, box office, TV etc etc). And gaming as a whole is MUCH bigger than SVOD streaming. Netflix gets 99% of their revenue & profit through subscriptions. For the whole Sony Group Corporation, their subscription services (games + anime) it’s currently only 4.5% of their total revenue. And somehow Sony currently has a meagre $128B market cap?
PlayStation alone is bigger than Netflix in terms of operating profit. PlayStation has a MUCH higher profit margin than Netflix. For Q3 2020 Netflix posted $790M operating profit and PlayStation posted $988M operating profit. Revenue was was $6.44B for Netflix vs. $4.77B for PlayStation. (and btw Sony’s mobile gaming revenue (~$1B / year) is under Sony Music, it is not even in those PlayStation numbers!!!)
Think about it. PlayStation alone posts bigger operating profit than Netflix (yes revenue is bit smaller, but it’s the operating profit that matters most). And gaming is growing faster than movies. And PlayStation is about 24% of Sony’s total revenue. And yet Netflix has a market cap that is equal to the double of Sony's market cap? Basically If you apply Netflix’ valuation to PlayStation then PlayStation alone should have a bigger market cap than Netflix' market cap.

PS+ growth and software digital ratio growth

Sony Vision-S & autonomous driving tech (selling sensors + infotainment system to other car manufacturers). Sony surprised everyone when they revealed their Sony Vision-S electric vehicle last year at CES 2020 (in-house design and made in cooperation with Magna Steyr). And it’s currently being tested on public roads. Over the past year we have seen absurdly big investment hype into anything even remotely related to EV’s (including a few questionable companies). We’ve even seen an EV company with a gravity-powered truck get a $30B market cap in June last year. Meanwhile Sony, out of nowhere, revealed what is arguably (subjectively) one of the best looking EV’s. It got very positive reception at CES 2020. An EV that you can actually drive. But somehow their stock is still dirt-cheap based on their current fundamentals alone? Yet some companies that had pretty much nothing but some EV design concepts got insane valuations purely due to hype?
LTE chips for IoT & Industry 4.0 (Altair Semiconductors)
Cross-media IP (The Last of Us show on HBO, Uncharted movie etc). Huge unrealized potential synergy here (it’s about to change). We have seen that it can turn out super well when you look at The Witcher, Sonic the Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu. When The Witcher released on Netflix, sales of The Witcher 3 significantly increased again. Imagine the same thing, but with Sony IP’s. Sony Pictures is currently working on 7 video game IP based TV shows and 3 movies. We know The Last of Us tv series is currently in production for HBO. And then the Uncharted is currently in post-production and scheduled to be released in July this year currently. If Uncharted turns out to be successful, it will mark a big, new milestone for Sony as an entertainment company imho.
Aniplex (Sony Music Entertainment Japan subsidiary for anime production, distribution & mobile games) had a fantastic year in 2020. (more on this later) There is a lot of room for mobile games growth with Aniplex. Thanks to Aniplex, Sony might beat their earnings forecast.
Drones. DJI just got put on Entity List in USA and Sony started developing drones for prosumer / professional a few years ago. Big opportunity for Sony here to take a bit from DJI’s dominance. It only makes sense for Sony to enter the drone market targeting the professional & prosumer video market, considering Sony’s established position in the professional audio/video/photography space
Currently Sony also has several ventures & investments in AI & robotics
Over the past decade, Sony has also carefully expanded into medical equipment tech & biotechnology. Worth noting that Sony also has an important 33% stake in M3 inc (a medical services through-the-internet company with a market cap of $65.5B) (= just their stake in M3 Inc is worth $22B alone, remember Sony, with their large, diversified revenue streams & assets only has a market cap of $128B?)
Sony Pictures has a great upcoming movie slate (MCU Spider-Man, Uncharted, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Venom 2, Morbius, Spider-Verse sequel, Hotel Transylvania 4, Peter Rabbit 2, Vivo, The Nightingale). They will profit from the theatre reopening and covid recovery. They may even become more favourable among movie theatre chains because they won’t release their movies on the same day on streaming services like Warner (and yeah movie theatres are here to stay, at least for a while imho)
All the above comes on top of established, mature markets (Financial Holdings & Electronic Products)
Oh yeah, btw though TV’s are a cyclical and mature market and are not that important for Sony Group Corporation’s bottomline*, Sony TV’s will continue to do well for the following successive years: o 2020: continued pandemic boost

2020-2021: PS5 / Xbox Series X/S
2021 Summer Olympics (tv sales ALWAYS spike during the olympics) (& the effect is more pronounced for high-end TV’s, = good for Sony because Sony’s market share is concentrated in the high-end range (they are market leader in the high-end range)
2022 FIFA world cup (exact same thing as for the olympics)
You could say it’s already priced in, but the stock is already ridiculously undervalued so idk…

You would think this company somehow has a bad outlook, but that could not be further from the true, let me explain and go over some of the different divisions and explain why they will moon:
Sony Entertainment
While Netflix, Disney, AT&T, Amazon, and Apple are waging the great streaming war, Sony has been quietly building its anime streaming empire over the past years.

Sony recently acquired Crunchyroll for $1.175B (it is a great deal for Sony imho and will immediately be more valuable under Sony. Considering the growing appetite for anime I honestly do not even understand why AT&T sold it, they could have integrated it with their other streaming service (HBO Max) but ok)
With Crunchyroll Sony now has the following anime empire:
Aniplex (anime production & distribution, subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan) F
Funimation
Manga Entertainment UK (production, licensing, and distribution, UK)
Wakanam (licensing and distribution in Europe)
AnimeLab (licensing and distribution in Australia & New Zealand)
Crunchyroll (3 million paying subcribers, 90 million registered users and 50 million social media followers)

* Why anime matters:

Anime growth
“The global size is expected to reach USD 36.26 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing popularity and sales of Japanese anime content across the globe apart from Japan is driving the growth”
(tl;dr anime 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀, Sony is all in on anime and they have pretty much no competition)
Anime is the fastest growing subsegment of movies/video entertainment worldwide.

Sony also has a partnership with Bilibili for anime distribution in China:

https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201903/26/WS5c990d93a3104842260b2737.html

Bilibili already partnered with Sony Music Entertainment Japan to bring Aniplex’s hugely successful Aniplex’s Fate/Grand Order mobile game in China.
Sony acquired a 5% stake in Bilibili for $400M in March 2020 (that 5% stake is now already worth $2.33B at Bilibili’s current share price ($BILI) and imho $BILI still has lots of upside potential considering it is the de facto video creation/sharing/viewing à la YouTube/Twitch for GenZ in China)

https://ir.bilibili.com/news-releases/news-release-details/bilibili-announces-equity-investment-sony

Sony Music Entertainment Japan
Aniplex

Sony Music (mobile games) generated $400M revenue from its mobile games in Q2 FY2020, published through Aniplex (Sony Music Entertainment Japan, “SMEJ”) subsidiary
They are the publisher of Fate/Grand Order, one of the most profitable mobile video games of the past 5 years (has generated $4B in revenue (!!) by the end of 2019 and is still as popular as ever). Fate/Grand order is the 7th most profitable mobile game in revenue worldwide as of 2020 (!)

Fate/Grand Order #9 game by revenue last year as of Q3 2020

Aniplex launched Disney: Twisted Wonderland in March this year. In Q3, it was the #10 most downloaded mobile game in Japan. (Aniplex now has two top ten games in Japan)
Fate/Grand Order was the #2 most tweeted game in 2020 and #3 was Disney: Twisted Wonderland. You can see that Aniplex has two hugely successful mobile games. (we are talking close to $1B of revenue a year here). It is the #2 game in Japan by total revenue from Q1 2016 to Q3 2020 and the #9 game in worldwide revenue from Q1 2020 to Q3 2020.

Aniplex has two very popular mobile games

SMEJ earns about > $1B from mobile games in revenue from mobile games and there is still a lot of future growth potential here considering Japan’s mobile game market grew a whopping 32% yoy from Q3 2019 to Q3 2020.
Aniplex recently co-distrubuted the movie Demon Slayer: Mugen Train in Japan in October 2020. It became the highest grossing film of all time in Japan with a total gross box office revenue of $380M. In the middle of a pandemic. It still needs to release in South Korea, China and USA where it will most likely do great as well.

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) (Game & Netwerk Services business unit):

We all know 2020 was a huge year for video games with the stay-at-home pandemic boost. The whole video game sector brought in $180B of revenue in 2020, a whopping 20% increase yoy.
But 2020 will not be just a one-off temporary exceptional year for video games. The video game market has a CAGR of 13% which means it will be worth $291B in 2027. Video games is by far the segment with the highest growth rate in the whole entertainment industry.

US video game market growth (worldwide growth has a 13% CAGR)

PlayStation revenue and operating profit growth

PlayStation obviously has a huge piece of this pie and over the past years has seen consistent yoy revenue and profit growth. Think about it, for every FIFA/Call of Duty/Assassin’s Creed sold on PS4/PS5, Sony gets a 30% cut. There have been sold a billion PS4 games so far.
5 years ago 20 to 30% of PS4 games were purchased digitally. Flashforward to 2020 and it’s 60-75% and the digital ratio looks set to still increase a bit. This means higher profit margin for game publishers and for Sony at the expense of retailers
SIE has seen huge success in its first-party games over the past 5 years. Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, The Last of Us Part 2, Uncharted 4, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, Ratchet & Clank have all been huge successes. This is really big and represents a big change compared to the previous generations where Sony never really hit it big as a games publisher even though most of their games were considered quality games.
SIE is now not only a powerful platform holdeprovider, but also a very successful games publisher with popular IP’s (Uncharted, God of War, The Last of Us, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank). This is an enormous asset, because firstly it increases the chances of success for cross-media opportunities (Sony Pictures can make TV shows and movies out of it to expand the popularity of those IP’s even more). And secondly, it is an obvious selling point for PS5. The more popular and bigger their exclusive content, the more they can draw people to their platform/service. This should increases PS5 total marketshare over its competitor.
The hype for God of War: Ragnarok will be absolutely through the roof. Hype for Horizon: Forbidden West is also very good already (10 million yt views, 273K likes which is very good). Gran Turismo 7 and Ratchet & Clank will also do very well in 2021. (I suspect that GoW oand Horizon might be delayed to 2022)
PS5 reception has been extremely good. Demand is through the roof as well all know. The only problem is that they cannot quite capitalize on the demand due to lack of supply, but overall, it is a very good thing that demand is very high, and that reception has been very positive. The challenge will primarily supply and production-related for the following 6 months and to be able to maintain brand momentum. Hopefully, they won’t push disappointed/inpatient customers to competitors.
Considering there’s backwards compatibility from PS4 to PS5, users will want all their PSN content to transition with them as well, so I expect them to lose very little marketshare to Xbox. Also, I do not know if Americans realize it, but Xbox is not nearly as big as PlayStation in the rest of the world as it is in the USA. PlayStation just has global brand power that Xbox just doesn’t have, so Xbox isn’t much of threat at all I’d say. Where I live, in Belgium, In Europe everyone is talking about the PS5, nobody really seems to care about Xbox Series S/X that much. Comparing PlayStation to Xbox in terms of mindshare is like comparing Apple to Motorola (not meant to be a diss to Motorola, I have a Motorola phone myself, just saying that Xbox has significantly less mindshare / brand power in Europe).
SIE is likely working on PSVR 2, this could be big.
Sony has a small stake in Epic Games (1.4%) and they have a good business relationship with them, so this might also make them open to release first-party games on Epic Games Store after exclusivity period on PS5.
Remember the Travis Scott concert in Fortnite? I believe that was one of the reasons why Sony invested in Epic Games. It serves as an example how music can sometimes converge with video games, and this can play to Sony’s strengths.
PlayStation also has way superior presence in Asia compared to Xbox. Have been expanding into China as well. Another great opportunity for revenue growth.
PS+ subscribers grew from 5.7 million by the end of 2013 to 46 million by October 30th, 2020. This is an average growth rate of 28% over the past 5 years. Considering most of the growth was early on, it will slow down, but I predict that they will have about 70 million PS+ subscribers by the end of 2023. This is huge and represents a stable, recurring source of income. Investors who keep hyping Netflix/Disney+ will love this, but it seems they have yet to discover $SNE.
There is a reason why Amazon, Google, Nvidia have been aggressively investing in video games & games streaming. They know the business is huge and is about to get even bigger. But considering the established, loyal PlayStation userbase, the established global brand of PlayStation and the exclusive games, PlayStation should be able to easily standoff competition from Amazon, Google and Nvidia (GeForce Now) in the next few years. So far, Amazon’s venture into game development, publishing & streaming has completely failed. Stadia and GeForceNow seem to have a bit more success, but still relatively niche. Therefore, I think PlayStation is well-positioned to remain one of the leaders in the industry for the following decade.

I'll get to the other divisions later, I figured this is a good first step.

Still have to cover Sony Pictures, but their upcoming movie slate looks pretty good honestly (Spider-Man sequel, Venom: Let There Be Darkness, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Uncharted, Morbius, Hotel Transylvania 4 so that's worth one rocket as well imho 🚀

(Yes, I am posting this in several places. But only once per place. Just need to up the chances of finding something to talk to, y'know?)

So, I guess I should say a little more about myself (Yes, this is probably going to be long).
As I stated, I'm 20 (turn 21 in April).I'm Asexual, I'm Male. And from the UK (England, to be specific).
Unfortunately, I don't have much of a life.I suffer from severe anxiety, depression and have Aspergers.But, on top of those, I may also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (I'm almost 100% sure of this, to be honest.), Bipolar and/or Borderline Personality.(I am working with a doctor and such to determine for sure what is wrong with me, it's just taking a long time to do.)Plus, I suffer from Insomnia and Restless Leg Syndrome But, those two have been the least of my concerns this year.
All of this means I don't have a job, am not looking for work, and haven't been in official education for quite a few years now. And, honestly, it doesn't look good for me to be doing anything for the foreseeable future (Not unless medications get a lot better in the next few years.)
So, yeah. I'm a bit of a pathetic mess at the moment.But we'll ignore that and move onto my interests instead, that's slightly more fun. :3
I'm a gamer. No shock there.I have quite a few different things to play on. Like, I have an Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, PS Vita, DS, 3DS and Switch. But, I spend most of my time with (and have most of my games on) my PS4 and PS5.As for what I play... just about anything, really. (Mostly).I don't really care for online gaming. Don't have any friends to play with and playing online with random people sucks. So, I don't play online. (Though, if we get close enough, I'm not going to say no to playing a game with you, if that's possible. XD)
I kinda mean it when I'll play most things, though. At the moment, most of my time is probably on Fifa 21 and The Crew 2 (I kinda hate myself for spending most of my time on the former. XD)But, I've been meaning to go back to JRPGs like Atelier Ryza, Megadimension Neptunia and Trails of Cold Steel. As well as various other games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Kingdom Hearts 2, Spyro, Gran Turismo Sport, Far Cry New Dawn (I'll stop here, cause It'd take forever to go through my backlog)If I haven't played something, it's either on my list of games to buy in the future or I'm not interested enough to buy it. XD
What else is there that I'm into...Oh!I guess I kinda like anime.I don't watch it religiously. Nor do I watch a lot of the more popular stuff at timesI'm more into occasionally watching Slice-of-Life anime, or stuff to just make me laugh for a while. Anime is more something I'm watching when depression is hitting at it's hardest.(Anime is also the reason I enjoy V-tubers and JRPGs, most likely. XD)
Weirdly, I'm not all that into music.I don't know. Music just feels very... meh. A lot of the time.I listen to music and can enjoy it. But there's probably a hell of a lot more music I don't enjoy.And I'm that kinda gamer nerd that likes game OSTs.Maybe I'm just picky with music, or it has to be connected to something I enjoy? Who knows, honestly?
Oh, and finally. I like to write.Fantasy novels, to be precise.Or I used to like to write. It's been really, really hard to find motivation recently.But I'm trying very hard to get back into it. Just takes a lot of time and effort to do that.
There. That's probably just about everything there is to know about me, for the time being at least. (Because this is getting way too long.)Now another warning. (HAHA! Made you get all this way, just to be sucker punched! >:3)I suck at conversations. It takes me FOREVER to get comfortable. And I'm very in and out with people. One moment I'm thinking "Why are they texting so much!? GIVE ME SPACE!!!" to very quickly thinking "Oh, they haven't messaged in .2 seconds? RUDE!"So, I'm exhausting and can be a pain in the arse to deal with. So good luck? XD.
Anyway. Thank you for reading. If I at least entertained you, then that's pleasing to know. And if you want to talk to me. Send me a message. I'll respond when I get a moment (and calm down)Oh, and you get a cookie and/or a head pat for making it this far :3
Let's see how few people message, eh? XD

Hopefully, getting this out to a few places will help me~

Hello everyone, I've read almost every post of people doing recaps of their year in gaming and i've enjoyed a lots of them! I've been wanting to do a list myself but couldn't put myself together to do it, but at last I'm here, however to keep things "Fresh" (or different to some degree) I will review the games I got the platinum trophy for, and not just games I played this year (I will however put some honorable mentions for games i played outside the playstation ecosystem that i completed to 100% or games that im 1-2 trophies close to get the plat). Having said this, the list is going to be weird (and a long read):

Goat Simulator : I believe this game was given away for PS Plus members, so thats the reason I picked it up and since I noticed it was a fairly simple platinum i gave it a go (according to psnprofiles, i got it in the lapse of 2 days 18 hours). The game is funny, its obviously glitchy, buggy, an overall mess but i got a couple of laughs here and there. There were frustrating stuff such as the flappy goat one, but overall a "funny" experience. I wouldn't recommend the game of other reason than just messing around and not taking things seriously. The fun factor however and the novelty fades away somehow quickly, so for a "freebie" (not entirely free since im paying for the subscription) it was okay. 5/10 (mediocre game, for really cheap or free its okayish)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019): Got the game because most of my friends from high-school love to play the MP (and specially, the search and destroy mode), kinda broke the patientgaming rule because I got it like 4-5 months later, but I stroke a got deal from a used copy so yeah, couldn't go wrong. The campaign is really good, very enjoyable, the gunplay in this CoD is really smooth and feels better than previous installments, the graphics are superb and voice acting its really good, misions doesn't feel repetitive and the story is not the most engaging but enjoyable. Also, as a side note i prefer the "normal" MP rather than "Warzone" mode, since my favorite battle royale is apex legends I felt Warzone to be gigantic and slow-paced. Overall the platinum was okay, nothing too hard, just the last trophy I got "We Own the night" was kinda glitchy and Couldn't make it pop for a couple of tries. 8/10

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order: Got it as a present from my gf, I'm a big Star Wars fan and metroidvania fan, so this was just my cup of tea. Dragged it for a couple of months because being an adult sucks, but the game its very very good. Combat is good, nothing outstanding but shines whenever you face "humanoid" enemies, and plain sucks when fighting monsters and animals, story is great for Star Wars fans, personally I liked the map designs and overall exploration. However it has a big issue, if you are intolerant to some degree to technical issues... well, you wont enjoy this game, even on the ps4 Pro this baby got buggy at times, a couple of T-Poses, some freezes when loading areas, and without being to spoilerish there was this big scene when i was supposed to get up in a elevator and presence a big fight... I instead got a scene where the good guys and bad guys where just hanging around and chilling, without a single shot being fired or anything, had to reload the save point (only after laughing for a couple of minutes) and it went like it was supposed to in the first place lol. the trophy was straightforward and easy, just the backtracking as a little bit tedious sometimes...Also, the last boss fight and cutscene were top notch. 8.5/10 for me, since i can handle the technical issues.

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (remastered): First game of the trilogy, and is the one that has aged the worst. Its clear that this game was not designed to be played on the highest difficulties, because enemy placement was beyond stupid. In contrast, Modern warfare's Veteran difficulty felt FAIR, and if you die it because you made a mistake, here you can die for stupid and frustrating reasons. The game, however, in more "standard" difficulties is a fun game, although it shows its age but you can get some charm out of it, but since im reviewing games i got the platinum from, and this game was a pain in the ass to plat, well, thats why i ranted a little. All next consequent games are far better than this, but if you have the collection I suggest to play this game on normal and continue with the rest ASAP. 6.5/10

God of War: Chains of Olympus (PS3): I was in the mood for some hack and slash action and decided to start striking down my ps3 backlog, I really like this console so I started with the GoW Origins Collection and gave chains of olympus a go since I started the game about 1-2 years prior this attempt. Playing next to my girl while she was grinding her animal crossing: new horizon island made it better, since i could just turn my brain off and enjoy the action. Decent game, not the best GoW but for a Vita port it was good. Plat was not hard either, but i missed a couple of, well, miss-able trophies and that is always an annoying thing. 7/10

Transistor: Supergiant games became one of my favorite game developers after this. Since the very first moment I booted up the game I got charmed by it. The setting, the soundtrack, the soothing voice of the Transistor, the mysterious beauty of Red, the combat system which was kinda unique for me so it was a nice change of pace, overall, those experiences and games that are just very suited for you. I cannot recommend this game enough to even at least give it a try the fact that the last boss has the same abilities that you have felt unique This game also made me try Bastion, but I played it on my phone and didn't complete it 100%. Transistor trophy can put on a challenge in some of its trophies, but if the game "clicks" on you just like it did with me, well, you will appreciate it artificially lengths the game. Loved the game, I still listen to "The Spine" on spotify from time to time. 9/10

The Order 1886: Got this game for very cheap, and after listening that it was a quick campaign and easy plat and overall good experience so i said why not. Its the definition of "Good" game, a 7.5-8 game, that doesn't set anything new on the table, or fantastic or out of this world, but delivers just fine. The setting is the most "original" thing and I really hope they make a sequel some day that further explores this "alternate era/time" London, also the lycans were underused in my opinion . The platinum is pretty straightforward, with chapter select available. 7.5/10

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (2013, ps4): I have had already played Rise of the Tomb Raider before this one, and loved it, wanted to have all platinums from the trilogy, however this one a special one... the online requirements were a pain in the ass, I have to look for a group in psn profiles (i think, don't quiet remember if it was there on here on reddit) and had to boost all online MP trophies, and then the grind of the level 60 while i was watching some Hbomberguy videos (fantastic channel), the main campaign is very good, and i quite enjoyed it even with the collectibles since it wasn't that hard. Preferred this than Uncharted tbh, Lara is a fantastic protagonist, combat was decent, exploration good, voice acting and story were pretty good... but having MP trophies for a mostly single player game... yeah, thats a no no for me. The game is a solid 8/10, however the trophy list is a 3/10, fuck MP trophies in mostly single-player games.

Hotline Miami (ps4): Fun. This is what this game is all about, having a good time and forget a little bit about everything. The 1HKO nature for both you and your enemies makes every encounter thrilling and exciting, the different weapons and masks (which grants you with different abilities) are not out of this world but engaging enough. Going for the plat was not as hard as I thought it was going to be, only a level or two were completely frustrating but only for small segments, with enough patience and practice you can make it through... and the soundtrack sticks with you for hours after playing. 8/10 solid game, quite short but im excited to try out the second one.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven (ps4): During this quarantine, I decided to finally watch stuff I had on my "watch list", one of those stuff was getting past the fourth chapter in Jojo's, im not much of an anime guy (only watched like 5-6, but the ones I've watched left me with a good impression such as FMA: Brotherhood which i consider to be one of the best tv series ever) but after looking at so many memes and references I decided to give it a go, finally, binged the whole five seasons and loved it to bits. I immediately searched up for games about the franchise and found this and a PS3 one, which was supposed to be better, however this was on sale so... yeah, I grabbed this one. The game is "Okayish", I think you will only fully enjoy it if you consider yourself to be a fan of the franchise and you would like to see "what if" scenarios, the gameplay is mediocre, but the characters and story (which is not a masterpiece, but is full of references to the different parts and the interaction of the characters is really good if you watched the anime/read the manga) are what made me stay to the end. The trophy list was not difficult, just the one that asked you to have a "S" rank in all missions was time consuming, but nothing too harsh. As a game 7/10 but you are going to love it if you are a fan of the franchise.

Now I'm going to quickly list some honorable mentions that are 1-2 trophies away for the platinum, but I sold my ps4 for financial reasons, maybe when i can get a PS5...

Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice: Only a couple of trophies away, the game is fantastic, I was close to get it but my girlfriend underwent surgery (not medical-emergency related, but still surgery)
Rocket League: I actually achieved all conditions to have all the trophies for the platinum... but it hasn't popped out, the "car collector" trophy is glitched for me, maybe a PS5 log in will fix things?

And some games I've completed 100% but are not on PS3/4 so they are not platinums:
Apex legends on Xbox One, my favorite battle royale and MP game to play 8/10 (I have lots of critiques so is not a 9)
FIFA 20 on Xbox One, I despised this game and haven't bought the 21 edition, fuck FIFA. 1/10 (I still got all achievements because I hate myself)
Shantae Risky's Revenge on 3DS. Love Shantae and Metroidvanias, lots of fun 8/10
Super Metroid on 3DS. One of the best games ever and metroidvanias, wonderful still to this day 9.5/10

Thanks if you gave this a read, or if only you read games that got your attention, still, thanks for your time, it was a good year, since 9 platinums in a year for me is a ton, i like to trophy hunt but only for games I truly enjoy or are fast/easy or part of a series I want to track down.
Happy new year everybody! Hope you have a fantastic 2021, remember to take care of yourself and wear a mask, I'm a physician so I'm asking in behalf of the health care staff! Cheers

I'd love to get some recommendations specific to what I'm into! I just got a PS5 and I've played a few games. Here is what I'm considering for the next game:
For Myself

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - I'm more interested in this than demons souls I think, but it doesn't seem to have scored as well with critics. I feel like part of the assassin's creed problem is that it gets repetitive but I haven't really played the old ones so I wonder if that would make me enjoy it more? Maybe I should just get assassin's creed odyssey and save some dough?
Demons Souls Remastered - I loved spiderman miles morales and this game just feels super dark compared to that and something like skyrim. Maybe it wouldn't bother me? Not really sure
Horizon Zero Dawn - the original. I'm interested in the upcoming game, and this one is kinda cheap so maybe a warm up?

For Local Multiplayer

Sackboy (the newest one) is this fun for adults?
Dirt 5 - not sure if a racing game is worth it

So here has been my gaming experience:
PS2
As a 9 or 10 year old, I loved some old spiderman game (not sure which one) and Tony Hawk 3. I also played a lot of sports games, but now I'm pretty much just into Fifa.
Other People's XBoxes In high school, I didn't have any of the newer systems, but loved playing the first Assassins Creed at a friends house. Halo and Call of Duty were always kinda "meh" to me. Although I do want some games for playing online with friends.
PS3
Eventually, I was given a hand me down PS3, but long after they were "en vogue" and after the PS4 existed. I still played it occasionally. I liked Fifa, and tried fallout 4 a bit. Eventually I started playing the borderlands games with my wife. They weren't my favorite games, but they were fun.
My wife and I also played some PS3 COD Zombies game quite a bit and I had similar opinions. Fun, but only for maybe an hour or two every now and then.
Then I bought Skyrim about a year ago, and I fell in love. That game is awesome. I've sunk tons of hours into it and I love it.
PS5
This year, a kind person gifted me a PS5 and I've been having a lot of fun with it. The first game I bought was Fifa so I could play with the person who got me the system (although I've been having some problems with the controller going in and out - mentioned in the Tech Support thread if you have any help suggestions, I'd love to hear them!)
I like Fifa, but it doesn't really suck me in. It's just nice for like 30 min. to an hour every now and then.
Then I got Spiderman: Miles Morales and I couldn't put the controller down. that game was awesome, albeit short.
I bought Borderlands 3 to get my wife involved, and I'd love to get more games she's into that we can play together. (Maybe COD Cold War for Zombies??) Besides tiny splitscreen and a few more bugs forcing system restarts (an unobtainable brain and a bug that wouldn't let us move right off the bat) than I'd prefer for such an expensive game, it's been pretty fun.
Lastly, I got The Witcher III, which is a pretty old game but has been compared to skyrim a lot in what I've read (and was only $12, so that was pretty nice). But I haven't fallen in love with it the same way I did with Skyrim. I can't quite figure out why. I'm definitely going to give it a bit more time, but it hasn't really pulled me into the game in the same way Skyrim did and I'm a bit disappointed.

Hey /IndianGaming !
A new generation of gaming is nearly upon us, and for those us who aren't PC gamers, that means weighty decisions about which machine to pick as our primary gaming rig for the next six or seven years. Now that we know pretty much everything about the Xbox and PlayStation, let's compare the two to try and discern which console would offer you the best gaming experience and value. I'll do the Xbox first because the difference between the two consoles is larger than with PlayStation.

PS5 vs Xbox - Hardware

Xbox
The Xbox brand has come a long way in the past seven years. The release of the Xbox One was disastrous, plagued by always online, intrusive DRM, high pricing because of Kinect, and a bunch of other silly decisions from clueless execs who were completely out of touch which what gamers wanted. But ever since MS fired Don Mattrick and replaced him with Phil Spencer as the head of the Xbox division, Phil has slowly turned things around, coming up with many new innovations in an effort to get the xbox back up to competing with the big boys.
Their hardware team too went from creating a prohibitively priced but technically weak console, to the most powerful console of this generation. For next gen, they've gone with an even more ambitious vision, creating two consoles at different price points targeting different output resolutions, but hoping to achieve the same level of performance. That's quite the goal! Let's check out the specs.

Component	Xbox Series X	Xbox Series S
CPU	8 Core AMD Zen 2 @3.8Ghz/3.6GhzSMT	8 Core AMD Zen 2 @3.6Ghz/3.4SMT
GPU	AMD RDNA2 GPU 52CU's @1.825 Ghz	AMD RDNA 2 GPU 20 CU's @1.565 Ghz
GPU Power	12.15 Teraflops	4 Teraflops
RAM	10GBGDDR6@560GB's / 6GB@336GB/s	8GBGDDR6@224GB's / 2GB@56GB/s
Storage	1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD w/Velocity	512GB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD w/Velocity
I/O Throughput	2.4 GB/s Uncompressed / 4.8 GB/s Compressed	2.4 GB/s Uncompressed / 4.8 GB/s Compressed
Performance Target	4k UHD	1440p
Disc Drive	4KUHD Blu-Ray	No Disc Drive
Price	₹49,999	₹34,999

Whoo! These are quite beefy machines. The current generation of consoles were actually quite dated even for their time. Not so this time around, these consoles are high end gaming rigs, with the Series X even beating most PC's that took the Steam hardware survey.
Before we go any further though, let's untangle this alphabet soup of tech specs and try and translate it into something readable(tech geeks bear with me, there's a lot of oversimplification here, I know!)
SMT - Stands for Simultaneous MultiThreading. Simultaneous multithreading allows different processes to utilize the same core, allowing for greater efficiency. Basically, a CPU core that could normally only do one thing at a time now spends less time sitting idle, as it works other things while waiting for instructions to finish processing. Sometimes this means way better performance when code is specifically optimized for it, other times it doesn't really matter because code has to wait on a previous operation to finish before starting a new one.
Teraflops - Short for Trillion Floating Point Operations per Second. A floating point operation is basically a standard arithmetic operation(multiplication, division etc) involving decimal numbers(floating points). So the 4 Teraflop Series S GPU, for instance, can do 4 trillion of these a second. Phew!
PCiE/NVMe - Short for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, PCIe is just a connector standard that transfers data across components. These connectors have various lanes of traffic, so the more lanes a component utilizes, the faster information will flow, like on a road or highway. NVMe(Nonvolatile Memory Express) drives use more lanes than SATA drives probably used by your computer, which means way faster speeds. It's planning a road layout and choosing to use a highway instead of a normal road to make things faster.
Xbox Velocity Architecture - Fancy marketing term for a collection of technologies that aim to increase rendering and texture streaming efficiency i.e squeeze as much juice out of the hardware as possible. It incudes stuff like Sampler Feedback Streaming(tech that allows the hardware to load only the mipmaps that are necessary, reducing I/O because less data has to be sent to RAM to load a frame), improvements to DX, and of course a fast SSD(although less powerful than the one on the PS5). It also enables stuff like Quick Resume.
So what does this all mean for gaming? Well, the Xbox Series X is a way more powerful machine across the board, aimed at hitting a higher performance target. It needs higher specs because it's outputting 4K images as opposed to a target of 1440p on the Series S. Microsoft says the Series S specs have been neatly scaled so the only difference between the two consoles is resolution. Don't take them at their word though, there are bound to be other small differences , resolution will just be the biggest differentiator. So that means both consoles are equipped with technologies like Raytracing, Variable Rate Shading, Sampler Feedback Streaming, all that good next-gen stuff.
But wait...
What the F is Ray Tracing?!
Arguably the defining feature of Next-Generation graphics, Ray tracing is a radical new way to render realistic graphics on-screen. In order to understand how it works, let's think a bit about how graphics are rendered.
The real world is complicated. Very complicated. Trying to recreate that in a game requires the use of various algorithms to simulate various parts of the real world, like a physics engine to handle various forces and collisions, a shadow and reflection maps to handle shadows and reflections, a light map to handle the lighting of a scene, and of course a virtual camera viewport to simulate your eyes. There are a ton of things game developers do to try and recreate the real world as accurately as possible with the processing power available to them, and you can see them if you've ever opened up a game graphics menu where it allows you to toggle certain settings, or 'tricks' on or off, that were developed to make scenes look more realistic.
So where does ray tracing come in? Well, Raytracing is meant to replace 'fake' methods of rendering stuff like lighting and shadows by attempting to realistically simulate the way lighting and shadows actually work in the real world. If you've ever taken a high school physics class, you'll know that light travels in the form of rays - reflecting, refracting, getting absorbed etc ad infinitum. Ray tracing is the process by which computers attempt to simulate this in an effort to make scenes look more realistic than what can be achieved by artificial tricks.
For instance, check out Raytraced minecraft
Wow! Quite the quantum jump there, right? While minecraft's graphics were never technically very impressive, with raytracing everything looks so much nicer. Water actually looks like water and not blue lines, dark caves actually look dark and not just black, lava actually behaves like lava instead of looking like someone spilled some red paint on a light source, everything just looks that much more realistic.
It's achieved by each pixel, both inside and outside the scene(traditional rendering methods typically only consider pixels inside the scene for lighting and shadows) casting off a ray of light, the path of which is then traced around the scene until it hits a light source or an artificial limit. This eliminates the need for manually providing lightmaps or reflection details, because those can be simulated in real time and look even better. As you can imagine, it's very computationally intensive, which is why we haven't really see it go mainstream in gaming until now. Even with the monsters that are this-gen consoles, they probably won't be able to hit their performance targets with full RT. From what we can see so far, the Xbox Series X will likely run at 4k30 with RT, and the Series S will run at 1080p30 with RT.
Alright that's enough about Raytracing for now, back to the console comparison.
Some quick FAQs

Is there any benefit to getting the Series X if I don't have a 4k TV? - Yes, but probably not a 15k difference. The Series X will still be processing higher resolution textures and might even give you better framerates in games, but the primary reason to get a Series X over the S if you don't have a 4k TV will probably just be to future-proof yourself in case you ever do decide to buy one in the future
Why would I need Quick Resume? - A strange question, but one I have nevertheless seen asked a fair number of times. To clarify, you don't really 'use' quick resume as you benefit from it. Just opening a game will take you right back to the state it was in when you last closed it, so you don't need to sit through loading screens, menus, or studio logos to get in the game. It also persists across cold boots.
What are the PC equivalents to the Xbox Series X specs? - The Series X GPU lies somewhere between the RTX 2080 Super and the RTX 2080 ti as far as raw performance is concerned. As for the CPU, the closest PC equivalent would probably be the AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, or a less than an Intel i7 9700k.

PS5
Arguably the more highly anticipated console, the PS5 succeeds the PS4, which absolutely crushed the Xbox One this generation in terms of sales and games. Fueled by phenomenal exclusives like God of War, Spiderman, Bloodborne, TLOU2 etc, the PS4 juggernaut's got quite a bit of momentum going into this generation. Sadly as we all know, it hit a bit of a legal hiccup coming to India so it'll be delayed. We also don't know as much about it as we do the Xbox because Sony hasn't actually sent out any units to Influencers/Reviewers yet, so all we have to go on are the specs, demos, and teardowns that Sony themselves have provided.
This generation, Sony's offering two variants of the PS5, but in contrast to Microsoft's strategy, both their consoles are equally powerful and offer basically the same gaming experience, the only difference being that one plays discs while the other doesn't. The price difference between the two consoles is also 10k as opposed to 15k with the Xbox.
Because the consoles share identical specs, I won't be comparing them with each other. Instead, let's compare them to the Xboxes. Here's the same table again, except with PS5 in the middle this time.

On paper, the Xbox Series X is the most powerful console, then the PlayStations, with the Series S coming in at a distant third. The Series X has a slightly faster CPU, a significantly faster GPU, and slightly faster RAM than the PS5. Meanwhile, the PS5 has the edge in I/O throughput, which is about twice as fast as that on the Series X when it comes to raw numbers.
What do these numbers actually mean for games? Well, we just don't know yet, because multiplats have yet to be benchmarked on the PS5. Sony seems to be playing their cards close to the vest, and haven't given their hardware to any reviewers to try. It's a safe guess to say that games will probably look slightly better on the Series X with maybe slightly better performance, but the difference is unlikely to be significant and probably won't matter to most casual gamers. Meanwhile, the difference in I/O throughput could mean that the PS5 will possibly load worlds and start up games faster than the Series X. It will probably be most noticeable in exclusive first party titles that are coded to specifically take advantage of the SSD.
Let's discuss hardware value by price. When it comes to price, the best value hardware wise is clearly the PS5 DE. For merely 5k more than the Series S you're getting 3-4x the processing power. If you have a 4k TV at home, it's probably not worth considering the Series S, just the PS5 and the Series X. Maybe when the Series S is more reasonably priced in India according to the $1 = ₹100 rule it could be a contender, but as of now, it's my personal opinion that the Series S is just not good value in India for those who have a 4K TV at home and the budget to afford one.
But of course there's more to a system than just hardware. Now that we've drawn up some specs comparisons, let's get down to the software side.

PS5 vs Xbox- Software

For most gamers, this will be the real meat of the comparison. The power differences between the PS5 and the Xbox Series X are probably not significant enough on their own to decide a purchase, so for most casual gamers, software is what will decide it.
Xbox
By far the biggest difference software side on the Xbox is Xbox Game Pass. Love or hate Xbox, you can't deny that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is quite simply the best value in gaming right now. Following this guide from the subreddit , you can get 3 years of it for as low as ₹7500. In case you've been living under a rock, here's what you get with Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox Live Gold (Multiplayer and Games with Gold)
Access to a growing and rotating library of ~350 games(as part of PC+Console. Console only - ~250 Games)
Perks - This can sometimes include cool stuff like the presently included 3 months of Discord Nitro, but so far for the most part I've not found it to be of too much use unless you play a lot of free to play games like World of Tanks or Warframe.
xCloud - Not really relevant in India right now, but if you go the 3 years of gamepass route it might be a nice bonus down the line. It's possible to access xCloud right now with a VPN, but it's not a great experience.
EA Play - Game Pass will also soon include access to EA Play, the basic tier of their subscription service, including very popular games like FIFA, Battlefield, Sims, etc. It also includes trials of the latest EA games.
A 20% Discount on buying the games included in Game Pass, if you decide to buy them to keep.

It's also worth noting that all future Xbox Games Studios games will land on Xbox Game Pass Day 1, which is a really good value considering that Xbox now has 23 studios making games. While most of them are a ways off, it looks like a good lineup, especially if you're into RPG's.
Game Pass is pretty much the USP of the Xbox right now. For gamers on limited budgets, it's just tremendous value. For ₹700 per month(It's regionally priced too!), you get to play way more games and have much more fun with your console than you could have had without the service. For many, this could possibly be the decider.
The second big difference, of course, is in the exclusives. Here's what the upcoming Xbox exclusive lineup looks like -

Halo Infinite
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Senua's Saga - Hellblade 2
Avowed
Fable
Everwild
Forza Motorsport
Starfield
The Elder Scrolls VI

It's also worth noting that all these games will still go on PC Game Pass Day 1. If you have a PC capable of running these games when they come out, then missing out on Xbox games shouldn't really be an issue or a deciding factor.
The third big difference is in backwards compatibility. The Series X and S will be compatible with every single Xbox One game, a lot of the most popular Xbox 360 games, and some of the most popular OG Xbox games. Here's the full list of 607 supported titles. It's great if you're already invested in the platform or are nostalgic for old titles like Burnout Revenge, Red Dead Redemption, Black Ops 2, Fallout New Vegas, etc. Probably won't be a big thing for most people, but for those it will help, it can make a purchase.
there's also a bunch of conveniences like quick resume and play anywhere. Quick Resume works like a save state where the console just loads back to where you last were when you quit the game instead of starting the game afresh. It works with multiple games at a time and persists even if you pull the plug on the Xbox. Play Anywhere works with some titles where your saves carry over from Xbox to PC. Nice to have, but not anything major.
Finally, an important note - unlike the PS5, even Free to Play games need a subscription to play online. So yeah, you can't play stuff like Fortnite or Warzone without a live gold or game pass ultimate subscription. If you spend a lot of time playing F2P games and can't afford game pass, this is a significant downside that might even be a dealbreaker, depending on how much time you spend playing F2P and how broke you are.
Quick FAQ's
Will future Bethesda Games be Xbox exclusive? - We still don't have definitive confirmation on whether future Bethesda titles will be exclusive, but it's highly likely that they will be, considering that Minecraft excluded, no other Microsoft first party studio currently develops games for other platforms. Phil Spencer also recently went on record to say that they're not worried about losing out on PS sales. Keep in mind that games like DOOM, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, will sell many Xboxes if they go exclusive. So while we can't claim anything definitively either way, don't buy a PS5 expecting to play these games for sure.
What's the best deal on Game Pass? - Currently it's the 3 year gold conversion deal. It probably won't last forever, so don't pass up the opportunity. Follow the guide linked above.
Are PC and Console Game Pass the same? - No. They are similar services but have different libraries. While all Xbox Games Studios games will release Day 1 on both platforms, major third party titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 are not likely to hit PC game pass.
PS5
Software wise, the biggest reason to buy the PS5 are for its exclusives. So far, PS4 exclusives blow Microsoft's out of the water. God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, time and again Sony has proven that they have some of the best studios out there. The PS5 will certainly have some spectacular games. Here's what the upcoming PS5 exclusive lineup looks like -

Spider-Man : Miles Morales(Launch)
Demon's Souls (Launch)
God of War - Ragnarok
Ratchet and Clank : A Rift Apart
Gran Turismo 7
Sackboy - A Big Adventure
Godfall
Final Fantasy 16 (timed)
Deathloop, Ghostwire(timed)

The majority of these games will most likely only be playable on PlayStation i.e they won't be coming to PC, so that's another thing to keep in mind when deciding which system to buy. They'll all mostly be phenomenal games, Sony titles usually are, especially first party ones.
On the downside, great games can be quite expensive. As you've heard, Sony has confirmed that all PS5 first party exclusives will be 4999 going forward(no regional pricing). So if you care about playing Ratchet and Clank/God of WaGran Turismo at launch, be ready to shell out the cash. Personally I don't believe 5k for a single player game is worth it in India, but of course it depends on your personal finances.
To alleviate this somewhat we have PS Now and the PS Plus collection, Sony's answer to Game Pass. The PS Plus collection includes a lot of popular PS4 exclusives and some third party titles like Arkham Knight and Fallout 4. It's a really good deal if you're jumping into the PS ecosystem for the first time, but those who already own PS5's will probably already have played most of the games on there and will only benefit once they grow the service.
Sony also a bunch of conveniences in the UI like activites, which let you jump right into a certain part of the game. It's also rumored to have some sort of quick resume, but nothing's been confirmed in that regard yet.
As for Backwards Compatibility, Sony has confirmed that the PS5 will be BC with nearly all PS4 titles, but PS1,2,and 3 games will be left to history. Regrettable, but probably not a dealbreaker for most people.
So on the Sony side, we have some killer exclusives but not as much value with highly priced games and no game pass.

Verdict

So, for the most important question, which one do you get? Well, even after 21,000 words I won't really pretend to have an answer. There are too many variables to consider. How invested you are in a particular ecosystem, your personal financial situation, the type of games you like, etc. That said, I have some broad recommendations -

If you have already have a 4k TV and have/plan to buy online - The PS5 DE is the way to go. The asinine pricing of the Series S in India makes this particular situation an easy call in my opinion. Yeah games will be expensive, but if you have the budget to buy a 4k TV maybe you can afford it. If not, you could always wait and pick up the games later when they go on sale. Kind of a bummer, but you'd still be playing on better hardware and actually putting your 4k TV to good use, instead of wasting its potential on the Series S. Maybe this will change if the Series S ever comes down in price, but for now this is the easiest reco to make.
If you don't own a 4k TV and are strapped for cash(maybe you lost your job during rona), get the Series S. The Series S gets a lot of flak from hardcore gamers but IMO it is still a great gaming machine. for those upgrading from the Xbox One/One S/PS4/PS4 Slim it will still be a huge upgrade. Don't get carried away by 4k Marketing. 1440p gaming still looks great, and if the Series S can keep its promises of 1440p 60fps or even 1080p w/ Raytracing, games will look gorgeous and play great. Game Pass is also phenomenal value, and you get to play way more games for cheaper than on the PS4.
If neither of these statements are close to your use case, don't consider the Series S or the PS5 DE. The PS5 DE might be a tempting buy for those who own discless collections and want to save money, but that would be a mistake. You're probably going to be playing on this console for at least 5-6 years, and are going to buy many games in that time. With PS5 games priced as highly as they are, you're almost certainly going to make up the difference and more buying expensive non-regionally priced games. The PS5 might cost more, but buying physical will save you a ton of money over digital purchases.
XSX vs PS5 is kind of a toss-up. XSX is compact and more powerful and is overall better value with Game Pass, but doesn't have many next-gen games to play at launch(most Xbox heavy hitters are landing much later). Meanwhile the PS5 has Demon's Souls and Miles Morales which comes with Spider Man Remastered. Personally I would go with an XSX in this situation because it's better value and will probably have more exclusives down the line(I don't mind waiting), but if you're eager to get on the next-gen hype train as soon as possible or are already invested in the PS ecosystem/you just love PS games that much, the PS5 is also a pretty good purchase. Definitely the hardest call to make.
If you are much into WRPGS, go with Xbox. Microsoft has a solid lock on western RPG's this generation, with titles like Fable, Avowed, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Starfield. Given that Sony doesn't really make these sorts of games themselves and there aren't that many big WRPG devs left(CDPR and BioWare are pretty much the only ones I think?), you're better off going with Xbox if you're a fan of these sorts of games.

Closing Thoughts

Phew! This write-up turned out to be a lot longer than I had initially expected. It was quite a bit of work writing it, and I did quite a bit of research to ensure that it's as accurate as possible. I'm still human so I've probably made some mistakes still, so please feel free to correct me if you spot an error.
And of course, these are ultimately just my thoughts on the matter as someone who owns and plays on both consoles right now, as well as PC, and will probably end up getting both new consoles down the line. I've tried to keep this as unbiased as possible, but if you feel I've misrepresented something or left something out, do weigh in in the comments and help other people out.
Tl;Dr - Consoles good, console war bad.

(Just for some clarity, I put three tags since I don't know what I'm looking for, but know what I'm open to. So, y'know. Come at me with whatever intention you please.)

Edit: I somehow forgot to mention this!? For friends, I don't care if you're a guy, girl, whatever. Doesn't bother me. Neither does age, as long as we get along, I'll befriend anyone. Relations wise, I'm straight, so that's a girls-only situation. (Sorry, I know that sucks. XD)
So, I guess I should say a little more about myself (Yes, this is probably going to be long).
As I stated, I'm 20 (turn 21 in April).I'm Asexual, I'm Male. And from the UK (England, to be specific).
Unfortunately, I don't have much of a life.I suffer from severe anxiety, depression and have Aspergers.But, on top of those, I may also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (I'm almost 100% sure of this, to be honest.), Bipolar and/or Borderline Personality.(I am working with a doctor and such to determine for sure what is wrong with me, it's just taking a long time to do.)Plus, I suffer from Insomnia and Restless Leg Syndrome But, those two have been the least of my concerns this year.
All of this means I don't have a job, am not looking for work, and haven't been in official education for quite a few years now. And, honestly, it doesn't look good for me to be doing anything for the foreseeable future (Not unless medications get a lot better in the next few years.)
So, yeah. I'm a bit of a pathetic mess at the moment.But we'll ignore that and move onto my interests instead, that's slightly more fun. :3
I'm a gamer. No shock there.I have quite a few different things to play on. Like, I have an Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, PS Vita, DS, 3DS and Switch. But, I spend most of my time with (and have most of my games on) my PS4 and PS5.As for what I play... just about anything, really. (Mostly).I don't really care for online gaming. Don't have any friends to play with and playing online with random people sucks. So, I don't play online. (Though, if we get close enough, I'm not going to say no to playing a game with you, if that's possible. XD)
I kinda mean it when I'll play most things, though. At the moment, most of my time is probably on Fifa 21 and The Crew 2 (I kinda hate myself for spending most of my time on the former. XD)But, I've been meaning to go back to JRPGs like Atelier Ryza, Megadimension Neptunia and Trails of Cold Steel. As well as various other games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Kingdom Hearts 2, Spyro, Gran Turismo Sport, Far Cry New Dawn (I'll stop here, cause It'd take forever to go through my backlog)If I haven't played something, it's either on my list of games to buy in the future or I'm not interested enough to buy it. XD
What else is there that I'm into...Oh!I guess I kinda like anime.I don't watch it religiously. Nor do I watch a lot of the more popular stuff at timesI'm more into occasionally watching Slice-of-Life anime, or stuff to just make me laugh for a while. Anime is more something I'm watching when depression is hitting at it's hardest.(Anime is also the reason I enjoy V-tubers and JRPGs, most likely. XD)
Weirdly, I'm not all that into music.I don't know. Music just feels very... meh. A lot of the time.I listen to music and can enjoy it. But there's probably a hell of a lot more music I don't enjoy.And I'm that kinda gamer nerd that likes game OSTs.Maybe I'm just picky with music, or it has to be connected to something I enjoy? Who knows, honestly?
Oh, and finally. I like to write.Fantasy novels, to be precise.Or I used to like to write. It's been really, really hard to find motivation recently.But I'm trying very hard to get back into it. Just takes a lot of time and effort to do that.
There. That's probably just about everything there is to know about me, for the time being at least. (Because this is getting way too long.)Now another warning. (HAHA! Made you get all this way, just to be sucker punched! >:3)I suck at conversations. It takes me FOREVER to get comfortable. And I'm very in and out with people. One moment I'm thinking "Why are they texting so much!? GIVE ME SPACE!!!" to very quickly thinking "Oh, they haven't messaged in .2 seconds? RUDE!"So, I'm exhausting and can be a pain in the arse to deal with. So good luck? XD.
Anyway. Thank you for reading. If I at least entertained you, then that's pleasing to know. And if you want to talk to me. Send me a message. I'll respond when I get a moment (and calm down)Oh, and you get a cookie and/or a head pat for making it this far :3
Let's see how few people message, eh? XD

Hey! Continuing to declutter, so I have a bunch of stuff for sale. All of the prices are OBO, so feel free to make an offer, particularly if you're interested in multiple games! Shipping'll depend on the weight of everything you're interested in, but on average it'll be between $3 and $5.
I may have accidentally forgotten to denote some CIB games missing manuals, but if you express interest I’ll check and take pictures and let you know.

If you install the backwards compatible FIFA 21 title (the actual title that is out today for the actual gen) on Next-Gen, can you play online with players that have the actual gen console?
EA has told us that it won't be possible to play FIFA 21 Next-Gen online with players that are running the game on Previous-Gen, but, FIFA 21 Next-Gen won't be available until december (I think?) and Next-Gen consoles are going to be sold on a few days. Both the Xbox Series X and the PS5 will let you install games from Xbox One and PS4 respectively to be played in backwards compatibility mode. In theory you are running FIFA 21 just as if you were using one console of the actual generation and not Next-Gen.
I really appreciate an answer about this as I am planning to sell the Xbox One at the moment and getting the Xbox Series X on some days, but have many pals that won't be upgrading to Series X this year and I play FIFA often with them.

There are more local multiplayer games than ever, but most are indie games overshadowed by AAA titles. I can't comment exactly on many new games the Xbox One has been getting each month, but I do know the PS4 has been getting about 60 new games a month in 2020 - 28% of which include local multiplayer - but most people only hear about a handful of them. I imagine it's pretty similar for the Xbox One. I’m going to list 5 local multiplayer games per genre. I’m setting a limit because I will just keep going for some genres if I don’t. They will be in order of highest quality game to lowest quality. I had no problems finding games for each genre – almost all should have a Metacritic rating over 70%, with only a few exceptions (like Outward, but patches have improved it).
Some games can really qualify for two genres, like Fury Unleashed, which is both a run & gun and roguelike. If this happens, I either pick the one it leans more strongly towards, or I just choose. No game will ever appear more than once on this list. See below for the list.

Notes About the List
• Resident Evil 6 and Revelations 2 also have local co-op. 6 reviewed quite a bit worse than 5, but still performed well overall. Revelations 2 plays differently from 5 and 6 - there is more environmental puzzle solving, and at times the second player uses a flashlight instead of a gun. It still performed almost as well as 5, but you should note it's not really a shooter like the other two games.
• Trine 1, 2, and 4 are 2D games. Trine 3 is a 3D game and reviewed significantly worse than the other two. That said, Trine 3 still performed somewhat decently.
• Lethal League Blaze is a sequel to Lethal League. The first one is slightly less expensive, but the sequel is generally considered to be better in nearly every way.
• Guns, Gore & Cannoli 1 & 2 scored about equally well. In addition to the campaign mode, the first one also has an arena type battle mode that is not present in the sequel. The sequel has a more robust moveset with dodges and jumps. The sequel also has online play and is slightly more expensive than the first one.
• AO Tennis 2 reviewed significantly better than the first game, but it is also more than twice as expensive as the first game.
• WWE 2K has a number of entries on Xbox One, but WWE 2K19 reviewed the best. WWE 2K20 reviewed significantly worse than all the other games in the series.
Hope this helps you find something new to play. Obviously there are tons of great ones that didn’t even make the list, including Crawl, Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition, Death Road to Canada, N+, Broforce, Metal Slug (series), Bleed 1 & 2, 9th Dawn II, The Escapists 2, Super Toy Cars 1 & 2, Woodle Tree 2, Old Man's Journey, Hellpoint, Riptide GP 2 & Renegade, Cannon Brawl, Totally Reliable Delivery Service, Guilt Battle Arena, STAB STAB STAB!, Mugsters, Die For Valhalla!, Hookbots, FoxyLand 2, Pang Adventures, Screencheat, Laser League, etc. With the indie scene continually expanding, I expect even more on the Xbox Series S/X!

The rest of the games have been tested because I have the systems so I can provide photos of testing proof for them!

FIFA 21 will be one of the best-selling games on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2020-21as football fans get a chance to play as their favourite players and teams. Online play is hugely popular in FIFA 21, with game modes like FIFA Ultimate Team, Online Seasons and Pro Clubs pitting people around the world against each other. You can play against or with friends online on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, but this is the first year in a few seasons where people will be split heavily acrossdifferent generations of the console.ContentsCan I play FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5 against PlayStation 4 players?Can I play against Xbox Series X players using FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5?How can I upgrade FIFA 21 from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5?Will my Ultimate Team copy across from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5?Can I still play with my Ultimate Team on PlayStation 4 after playing on PlayStation 5?Can I play FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5 against PlayStation 4 players?Playing against your friends or even with them using Co-Opmode is one of the most funways to play FIFA 21.Pro Clubs is also hugely popular as you can create a team of 11 players, all playing online at once against other clubs from all over the world.Co-Op has been introduced into FIFA Ultimate Team for FIFA 21, meaning an online guest can drop in and help you control your side in FUT.However, if you are playing on different consoles,it is not possible to play with or against friends in FIFA 21. You won't be able to play across console generations or cross-play in #FIFA21.However, you will be able to carry over your FUT progression from PS4 to PS5 and Xbox 1 to Xbox Series X. https://t.co/mUqU3zcAud — FIFA Direct Communication (@EAFIFADirect) August 10, 2020That means if you have upgraded to FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5, you will not be able to play with or against friends who are still playing on PlayStation 4.EA Sports confirmed that cross-play would not be supported during a Q&A session on their FIFA Direct Communication Twitter account:"You won't be able to play across console generations or cross-play inFIFA 21. However, you will be able to carry over your FUT progression from PS4 to PS5 and Xbox 1 to Xbox Series X."Can I play against Xbox Series X players using FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5?Unfortunately, as well as not being able to play against PlayStation 4 players using FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5, you will not be able to play against FIFA 21 gamers on Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S.Cross-play is not supported in FIFA 21, but future versions of FIFA may have cross-play where multiple consoles can play together or against each other online.Other games on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X support or will support cross-play, including Destiny 2, Chivalry 2, Fortnite and Worms Rumble.Worms Rumble is free to PlayStation Plus subscribers in December and will give players a chance to try out cross-platform play against players on Xbox and even PC.How can I upgrade FIFA 21 from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5?Anyone who has purchased FIFA 21 on PlayStation 4 can download FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5 using EA Sports' Dual Entitlement offer.You can upgrade at any time during the season by either logging on to the PlayStation Network account where you purchased the PS4 version or by inserting the PS4 discinto the PS5 discdrive.However, anyone who purchased the physical copy of FIFA 21 for PlayStation 4 can only upgrade to PlayStation 5 if they have the disc version of the new console.Will my Ultimate Team copy across from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5?Using the Dual Entitlement offer, you can upgrade your copy of FIFA 21 from PS4 to PS5 and bring some of your progress across to the new console.This allows you to carry your Ultimate Team progress and Volta progress onto the PlayStation 5.However, progress you have made in Online Seasons and Career Mode cannot be copied onto the new console.Pro Clubs andCo-Op Seasons progress is also set to one console only and is not transferrable from console to console. Can I still play with my Ultimate Team on PlayStation 4 after playing on PlayStation 5?As cross-console play is not allowed in FIFA 21, many people may still wish to play the PlayStation 4 version of FIFA 21 against their friends despite having bought a PlayStation 5.Luckily, Ultimate Team progress can be carried forward and back through PS4 and PS5, meaning you can still play Co-Op Ultimate Team using your FUT team even after upgrading to the new console."All progress you make or content you acquire within FIFA 21 Ultimate Team (including players, items, coins, FIFA Points, match record, and leaderboard placement), as well as all progression in Volta...will transfer from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 and back, or Xbox One to Xbox Series X and back," EA Sports confirmed.
