i am not buying a pc over a ps5. Most people who buy consoles will not buy a pc just because a game is no longer 'exclusive'. Ive never considered pc in the same realm as console anyways...
you cant even take advantage of all those new teraflops outside of extra foliage and more rain drops, literally no reason to buy the console if you already own an xbox one, s or x
you cant tell that the definitive version of the Last Of Us on the PS4 was a PS3 cross-gen game? it was higher res but you can by the amount of polygons in the character models and buildings that it wasnt build to take advantage of the PS4. this will be your life on the xbox s x.
backwards compatibility:
I want to introduce a complex physics engine into my game knowing xbox s x and ps5 are the baseline. i allocate resources and write it in a way that takes advantage of the hardware without the worry of how it may need to run on an older system. if the need arises to port it to older hardware, i may not have the budget to rip out this physics engine and rebuild it so I end up gimping it to the point to where the game "runs" but has frame-rate problem...
All PS4 exclusives. You’re thinking too 1 dimensional. This is not only about the “powa” of the console. As a company when you create a product, any product, you should have a solid use case for that product. This is the core reason for exclusives, so that the consumer sees a reason to buy your product over the competition. What MS is essentially doing is creating a refresh, And should basically be named the “Xbox one x two”.
their strategy clearly shows what has always taken priority and that is their ecosystem first, games second. They are carving out a new road where they are making steam machines with a proprietary OS, no longer relying on hardware sales from any one “era”.
By blending the lines this way you can see how 30 years down the road they “could” have an ecosystem that rivals the pc landscape in that there are many types of xboxes that can play a wide variety of games that span over...
I like this move. “Don’t tell us where to announce, we’ll do it where we want when we’re ready” they hold all of the cards so they earned it. It’s a big gamble esp when launching a console, but if done right they can build up the hype without all of the spectacle.
Then tell me what defines this as a console launch if there is no identifying feature of said launch outside another machine??? It’s essentially just the next iteration of Xbox one x and doesn’t need a big announcement. They’re creating a bunch of steam machines and should be categorized as such.
My god... Forza/Gears/Halo is not going to increase your (expletive) user base. Don't get me wrong, I dont like microsoft gaming AT ALL, but its such a blatant mistake that its pissing me off. They need to clean house, and no not just get rid of the guy at the top, but REALLY CLEAN HOUSE. This is crazy, why havent they learned from their past launches?!? I just dont get it. Putting them down at this point doesnt feel good anymore. I dont know if its arrogance, mismanagement, lack of under...
If you read the article this is no different than how ps1 and ps2 titles were supported long after their generation ended. This should make people feel good in that they don’t have to upgrade until their pockets are ready. However I still believe ms is doing this to skew the numbers and make them “look like” they’re comparable to ps due to units sold being bundled up under the entire user base and not individually anymore.
They will increment their user base under all Xboxes sold. They will no longer release numbers for individual consoles. They’ll be able to say “over 100 million xboxes sold”. It’s just more smoke and mirrors.
Sony understands you don’t go into a new console generation without having bombs, and in this case they have 2. This all but guarantees an easy victory over the service focused Xbox/cloud/game pass. Microsoft needs a new ip that’s a bomb at launch to make it interesting. No one is going into the store to buy a game system just because it’s more powerful than the next and halo/gears/forza aren’t enough to bring in new customers.
Most games do not resonate with me to make me feel like I want to complete them. Until Dawn was an exception because I connected with the characters due to character development via learning their personalities and good plot. I hope more games are made with this in mind.
🤣🤣🤣 🤣 I love it!!

yet you had nothing that looked and played as well as spiderman, god of war, horizon, bloodborne or uncharted.
you cant even take advantage of all those new teraflops outside of extra foliage and more rain drops, literally no reason to buy the console if you already own an xbox one, s or x
for an xbox enthusiast you sure keeps sonys name coming out of your mouth...
"Since the announcement of Xbox One X, every Sony fanboys criticism of Xbox changed from the power of the system to the lack of exclusives. "
just a bad article over all. People have been complaining about the lack of exclusives since the xbox 360.
you cant tell that the definitive version of the Last Of Us on the PS4 was a PS3 cross-gen game? it was higher res but you can by the amount of polygons in the character models and buildings that it wasnt build to take advantage of the PS4. this will be your life on the xbox s x.
