Doesn't that make it potentially less powerful than the Xbox one x?

Devs are going to be extremely annoyed with Microsoft if they have to support it.
Nah. The architecture changes will mean it is likely faster GPU-wise than the current X, CPU will be massively faster, and slightly less ram compared to series-X will basically mean they'll have to just pair back the textures. Really that's about it, lower quality textures + lower res (or just letting the games dynamic res do its thing). Dunno it could work, but also it's MS

I want this rumored two tier (three tier? Four tier with XBone S + X?) strategy to do well but I have the sinking fear that it’ll go about as well as Windows RT

It’s ok tho. Sony copied more of the Xbox controller for Dualsense, so really they’re already taking the best parts of the ecosystem for themselves.

Maybe in ten years we’ll get a Halo game on PS7 like post-Dreamcast Sonic.

Kratos and Master Chief at the Olympic Games.

good news it has to keep being supported for 2 years after the series x comes out and theyre absolutely doing that again for the next 8 years!

i dont know if the new controller design is going to be good, ill have to wait until i can hold it but the last thing i think when im using the ds4 is "i wish this was pointlessly bulkier"

at least ds4 will be ps5 compatible if the new pad isnt any good.

I thought it was just one year, and that was only Microsoft's pledge for their own first-party games (i.e. a third party could make a game that only works on the next gen SKUs if they wanted to for launch).

It was booty


"As our content comes out over the next year, two years, all of our games, sort of like PC, will play up and down that family of devices," Booty said.

3rd parties can do whatever i think yeah but i think theres going to be pressure to cross gen from fans and ps4 sold so well its gonna have a long tail anyway so id assume the industry is just going to do mostly crossgen for a while, especially with rumors that sony is only making 5 million ps4s thru march of 2021 in the business press lately)

I bought it for more than half off, so it doesn't hurt, but it was right before they added V, so I didn't think it would be so soon. I'm a sucker for cowboys.

This never worked for me; it appeared on the dashboard and then reverted to full-price when I tried to subscribe again. Multiple times.

So I just subscribed for full-price. It's well worth it anyways. $1, $10, either way it's a helluva value for what you get.

gamepass style services will one day be the main mode of gaming and 3rd parties will be reliant on cuts of subscriptions for revenue and barely sell any copies themselves and they will shift their output to cheap quick titles they can hype and dump on a service every quarter like xbox game studios has been doing since it invented the scheme and finally i will be able to play voodoo vince in 8k

If you're in a supported country, you can also get on the ms rewards system and redeem that poo poo for a free month or gamepass when a game comes out you wanna play. Xbox rewards app has monthly rolling goals to get points for unlocking cheevos or playing certain games so its pretty easy to stock up some points.

No, it's all five dollars each. Xbox gamepass is 5 dollars as well. You just need live gold to play online, which also costs 5 dollars.
