Prefer not to buy a console at release?

I've read several times that it is not recommended to buy the Xbox or Ps5 directly at the release, as they are probably more error-prone than 6 months or 1 year after the release.

Your opinion?

In the beginning it will cost around 500 euro without games… After a year, maybe for Christmas you can get a little cheaper with n 2 controllers or n game.

Makes sense to wait until the cheaper one.

Yes and no

The software in particular still has some bugs that are ironed out over time, but the hardware itself is not faulty, unless it is defective.

Nevertheless, of course, you save something if you wait, which is more of an advantage. If you were even a little longer, you might get the 2nd generation with the hardware a little better.

The only digital from Sony has the same performance but is 100 euro cheaper and the Xbox digital is 200 euro cheaper but with a slightly worse performance

I'm more of a fan of holding a game in real form (you can also buy some used games cheaper)

The Red Ring of Death. Allegedly 15-35% of the first Xbox fell victim to hardware death. According to some statistics, every third Xbox player smoked the console (no idea whether there was any official information). In any case, Microsoft improved the slim version e.g. Didn't have this problem anymore.

When the second generation of the Xbox came onto the market later * zack * there were again more cases of the Red Ring of Death. Although this time it was actually no longer a ring, as only 3 out of 4 diodes glowed red, i.e. Only a 3/4 circle.

But Sony also had such a problem at the beginning on the PS4. The Blinky Blue Light or also called Blue Light of Death, based on the Xbox death. But Sony also made improvements.

But there's a guarantee for that
