Going into 'next-gen' I just can't see any rationale for why you would by an Xbox. It has zero games you can't get somewhere else, and multiplat game will realistically run pretty much the same as the PS5 if not worse because devs will target the leading system. Gamepass has less games on it than PSnow. All the studios Microsoft bought up will take years to produce anything.

Meanwhile the PS5 has got a whole new Spider-Man game and demon souls at launch. Why would any sane person buy an Xbox after all the gently caress ups in the last 7-8 years?

Gamepass and cheaper entry. Econo-console (not saying it's gonna do well, but it does at least have a reason to exist this generation, unlike the last go around)

I have gamepass on pc and it's a nice supliment to the games I buy on Steam/get through humble monthlies/get free from epic or twitch and so on, but I would not want to rely on it as my only source of games. I got an Xbox one X about 6 months ago and it's been turned on less than 10 times, and i don't see what would be different if I had a series s or x

Miles Morales is releasing on PS4 and Demon's Souls is obviously a timed exclusive

meanwhile xbox has the best controller, best console design, best airflow, battletoads, rare replay, sea of thieves and is backed by phil spencer

What are you on about? There are no plans for it releasing on anything else (the indication it might come to PC was an error).

I mean, I guess it's not technically an exclusive since PS3.

this isn't how the demon souls ip works at all - it's not timed in the slightest. it was exclusive to the ps3 and sony hired bluepoint to do the remake to ps5 in their engine. the original was co-developed between fromsoft and sie japan studio, there's zero chance in the next five years of it moving outside of the playstation ecosystem

there was a trailer fuckup in the most recent reveal, but the game isn't being ported elsewhere the financial incentives just don't add up

I wonder if there is more DLC on the way or if they’re working on a proper sequel? Playground games got bored and are now doing a new non-car related IP, but that’s years out I’m sure.

Nvidia made a fork with support for ray tracing and poo poo but MS can't develop an equivalent build for their new console.

Even before then there'll probably be an active market for plate painting/buying pre-painted plates like there was for the 360's faceplate.

The only playstation game I want is Ratchet and Clank and thats not enough to buy a console for at the moment, and I use a shitload of gamepass to play things like Spiritfarer, Monster Hunter, Momodora etc. that I'd absolutely never have played otherwise and PSNow didn't deliver the same value.

As a note; don't aim consumer products at me because I was the target user for the Bone and hoooboy that wasn't a good play.

Is PSnow actually good? This is the first I've ever seen it named better than gamepass. I've got a ton of value out of gamepass across pc/bone so that's prob the biggest reason I'm getting the new xbox.

really though, it barely makes any sense to buy either of the new consoles for at least a year. I'm doing it because it's basically the only hobby I spend money on.

PSNow is not really that good. IMO it’s definitely not something you’d stay subscribed to for months on end.
