  1. I'm like why pick up those games officially. You can download those games. They going to be in gamepass day and date. Xbox Series X exclusives will not leave gamepass. 3rd parties games will leave monthly

  2. MS game pass worries me that in the long run they could break the AAA model and we will get lesser games as a result. It also worries me what other studios they will buy

  3. Xbox would never ever going outsell PlayStation why xbot trying so hard xbox is dead and irrelevant whole world were all know the PS5 will surpass the best selling console of all time PS2.. Series x is even worse than the huge failure xbox one

  4. I remember when I was a kid I went to the store with my friend and his mom when she bought him an Xbox 360. He wanted a 360 Pro but he ended up walking out of the store with a 360 Arcade because his mom’s argument on the matter was that it was “cheaper”. Even as a 10 year old kid I rolled my eyes and knew that she was wrong because she’d end up spending the same amount of money for a Pro on external HDD’s for the Arcade…which she ended up doing. The Xbox Series S is to the Xbox Series X as the Xbox 360 Arcade was to the Xbox 360 Pro & Elite. Only worse because the Series S has a crippling power difference while the 360 Arcade didn’t.

  5. I think your opinion on series S is an outlier and many people, Digital Foundry among them are singing its praises for how well and effectively it is playing games smoothly with high frame rates than previously possible. Most players choose frame rates over resolution. I own Series X but a lot of friends can’t afford that so the S is a great way to enter next gen if you can get your hands on one. The fact that it is also still almost impossible to pick up shows a lot of people don’t share your view on this

  7. I'm a Playstation player, but recently got a year free Ultimate Gamepass and razer kishi controller for my new Galaxy phone, and so far, I'm really liking being able to play games I would never have bought otherwise. It really is the Netflix of gaming. That said, I still prefer to own my games on PS5.

  8. The early constricted sales of Xbox and PS5 are no indication of much at the moment, I know of people already wanting to swap SX for PS5, there’s nothing happening on Xbox, it’s been over 500 days since they had a AAA exclusive and nothing on the horizon until Halo infinite ( if it makes it’s predicted eventual launch window ) and Gamepass is the bargain bin of gaming. I think Sony will stretch the gap they made last gen. Xbox is all talk and no trousers. By the time they get off the mark Sony will be sailing into the distance.

  9. We can't use the current sales figures as an indication of market share because we are still in the early adopter phase with AMD allocating equal amounts of chips to each manufacturer due to limited supply. Hardcore fans of each platform make up the early adopter sales numbers and the supply has a ceiling that neither platform can break through at this stage. It's the lowest common denominator for both platforms. Only when production is massively ramped up that we start to see the market take control as the masses make their choice. Sony are repeating the PS4 strategy to ensure a 2 to 1 ratio again, but I'm predicting the gap will be much larger this time, because people who chose the wrong platform won't make the same mistake again.

  10. MS market share numbers will be low in Xbox console sales, but high in Game Pass subscription numbers across other platforms. Sony console numbers will be high because the console is the tool you need to play the high quality content Sony are providing. The Xbox console is merely a figurehead for the die hard xbots. The majority of MS customers won't even be playing on an Xbox console. They will be on PC and mobile devices. Big AAA masterpieces are an over kill for a tiny mobile phone screen, played by casual gamers who snack on games that can be consumed short bursts. Large cutting edge AAA story based games don't fit that model. This is where Sony have cornered the market for very high quality content played on cutting edge console hardware, which is aimed at hardcore gamers who know what they want to pay for.

  11. They’re not close at all. PS5 demand is so high, nobody has been talking about Xbox at all. Sony confirmed PS5 sold more than PS2, and PS3, and PS4 at launch. Even when Microsoft released Xbox 360 a full year before the PS3, PS3 still outsold it, and that was at the peak of Xbox success. So now imagine how badly PS5 is going to destroy Xbox Series X with the demand being where it is now and everyone still trying to get a PS5.. imagine when the pandemic has left and things go back to normal.

    Microsoft tried to do something with GamePass, but now some developers are actually speaking out against it, because it affects the actual SALES of their games. Microsoft messed with the sales of Control because they said it would be on GamePass, so people just waited to play it for free instead of buying it. It’s bad business and Remedy deserves better. Whatever Microsoft paid them to cover the cost of having the game GamePass wasn’t worth it, especially after Control won GOTY. Now we see that the Ultimate Edition is on PS Plus. Microsoft screwed Remedy badly.

  12. I don't have a Series S but remember that developers just got their hands to the new dev tools. I think games for Series S are only going to improve 🙂 Also PS5 developers got their devkits before Xbox

  13. To advertise series S as a 1440p console was the mistake. It has 1/3 the gpu prowess of the X yet was supposed to display half the resolution.. I was always destined to be a 1080p machine. But there's still so many people with native 1080p tvs that it will probably do okay

  14. Yea it was predicted that the PS5 would out sale the XBSX by four to one, but the sales are closer than we thought. The PS5 is outselling the XBSX by three to one. That's looks a bit better for MS. Even knowing MS is done with gaming console and are going cloud gaming only after this generations failure. That's the last three generation MS has had a failure of a gaming console.

    Very hard to buy a PS5 but the XBSX & XBSS are just sitting on the shelfs in stores like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Meijer ect.

  15. I got a series s cos I need a console to travel with
    I can live with resolutions as low as 720p and 30fps is fine in single player. I'm only in trouble of games come out that run at 1080p 30fps on ps5/series x

    I just wanna play games (and I've never owned an 8th gen console)

  16. Combining Series S with Series X numbers gives a slightly misleading indication of Microsoft's performance in this new generation. The Series S isn't a next gen console, if next-gen is defined as the ability to run games at 4K 60fps / ray tracing.
