It's basically a collector's item now since it's going to be the last traditional Xbox console.

Depends, what's your library like? Resell value on consoles is normally pretty shitty. Maybe pick up a second hand PS5 to check it out? Don't gimp your personal financial situation over internet nerd console war degenerate bullshit.
Also, refer to this ancient Chinese proverb:
"When in doubt, buy a gaming PC."
Both of these consoles are long in the tooth now, they're not at all as impressive as they were years ago compared to modern tech you find in even mid-level gaming PCs, I would wait for the next gen which is just around the corner so you can see what the backwards compatibility situation and games looks like.
If you're looking for the objectively superior (but expensive) modern combination, you'll often see people recommend a gaming PC and a Nintendo "Bing Bing Wahoo!" machine.

How much do you use it?
If not much then sell it.
Personally I will keep only one main system going forward. Its already too much to finish stuff on one system. Even if not everything is coming to PS5 or XBSX, whatever is available is usually a lot.
I am a fan of smaller, varied games. So xbox it is for me. For now.

Wait to see if they will give it the Ally X OS or any version of this OS.
Since the price of it is literally going up over time, you have nothing to lose by waiting.

Honestly depends on your library of purchased games. I've a library of 470 owned games on Xbox, 350+ on PS and 600 on Steam... So I'm pretty much fucked. If I could go back I wouldn't buy things on all systems...
So if you have like 0 to 10 purchased games on your Xbox : yes run !

Is it all coming to PS5?
I see no Halo MCC (or any Halo game for that matter) no Starfield, not to mention, like you said, the Xbox BC games.
I'd keep it just for that.

Considering what's come to PS5 so far, there's no reason not to expect everything else.
It's just a matter of time now.

I did, but I did not own even one game for it and only used it for gamepass. Have a ps5 pro and switch 2 and can't say I miss it.

I love these polls man. More than 100% of votes counted. Amazing. The Soviet Union didn't get better elections.

"Just" backwards compatibility is s lot actually. And didn't we had a member that did this for months about his PS5 and buying a PC?

If you sell on FB Marketplace, prepare to take far lower than you probably want for it.
I've seen the same SX consoles in my area for weeks and they haven't sold. Even when priced at £150. People no longer want them, even at a low used price.
This is UK, London bound Marketplace.
PS5s around the £250 mark are gone within the day of posting.

If you have games that can be played with the backwards compatibility feature - it might be worth it to keep it. So long as you have the space, why not? I always keep my consoles and still use the PS3 occasionally. It's nice to have the means to play a specific game when you're in the mood for it.

I think you should keep it, put it in the corner of a room, and each time you walk in, you point at it, and be like, 'you got me good.'

Don't sell. Do like me, leave it unplugged and buried under moderate amounts of festering garbage on your desk, a derelict monument to its own failure, and a reminder to use brain when it comes to make purchasings in hopefully sunnier future days.

I would keep it, unless you can sell it for a ton.
If you are buying a gaming PC then there is no point in having one, I would gift it to somebody I know before selling it for $150 or $200 or whatever they go for used.

Sell it and buy a Steam Deck.

Even if you're not using it much due to price bumping on gamepass. It's a good bluray player regardless.

Sold mine last summer and picked up a PS5 Slim with the money. No regrets, I had a very small digital library of 360 games that were all 'free' games with gold, and I got Dead Space remake for like $8 off Xbox marketplace Xmas 2023. Basically, the few games I care about on that account I can pick up dirt cheap if I wanted to double-dip( like the aforementioned Dead Space), otherwise I wasn't deeply invested in their current ecosystem so it was easy to walk away. I'm still an Xbox customer, I just access their games on PC so they get my money one way or another. I, like many, just have no use for the console anymore.

I haven't really used mine for 2 years now, but still can't bring myself to be arsed to sell it. I do occasionally think I might want to play Fight Night on back compat, but never end up doing so. Maybe if I build (or Steam release) a Steam box, I will get rid of it to make space for that.

I'm 92% sure Halo MCC, Halo 5 and Halo Wars will never appear on PS5.

Combat Evolved remake next year will likely be the first one due to Unreal Engine

Can you be more specific here? What "smaller, varied games" release on Xbox that don't also release on other platforms?

Ok, but you're not answering the question.

I did.
I see no point in getting a PS5 if I intend to play smaller games on it.
Same for pc or xbox or Nintendo.
If I was exclusively playing Nintendo games, I would get their system, even if they went multiplatform. Or if I really enjoyed big budget blockbuster games, I would get a ps5 instead of waiting for their release on PC.
Exclusively is completely immaterial.

You're not making any sense.
If you want access to the widest variety of smaller budget/indie games then it's a PC you need (and a budget one will suffice here), not an Xbox.
The smaller/indie games that release on xbox are largely identical to the ones that release on all the other consoles.

Yeah, for me it's the only reason I'd buy one for cheap (50-100$). And BC (but it still doesn't have Tenchu Z, which is not well emulated to this day).
