- The price of PS5 and Xbox Series X could be the deciding factor for most gamers
When it comes to PS5 and Xbox Series X, gamers consider "affordability" to be the most important factor. According to a Twitter poll by Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, who asked Twitter users what was most important to them when it came to next-gen consoles. The survey received a total of 50,295 responses, with a 37.5% majority of users saying "accessibility" was the most important factor. "Next-gen games" (aka backwards compatibility) come in second with 30%, "best graphics" receive 19,2% of the vote, while "exclusive games" are the least important with only 13,2%. votes

Are you surprised
The price of the PS5 and Xbox Series X has been a hot topic, especially since neither Microsoft nor Sony have confirmed the cost of their next-gen consoles. There have also been rumors that the price of the PS5 and Xbox Series X could increase the rare coins. With so much uncertainty, it's no surprise that gamers are wondering how much powerful new consoles will cost. What's a bit surprising, as Boon noted, is that "exclusive games" emerged as the least important factor in the survey. Especially when you consider Sony's strong collection of PS4 exclusives, which is cited as one of the main reasons it's beaten Microsoft (in terms of sales) in the current console wars. It should be noted that a Twitter poll does not accurately reflect the general player base, especially since young gamers are unlikely to be on the platform. While this survey can be useful as a guide, the reality is likely to be much more complex.
