You are always going to be able to find sales going on from sights such as newegg. But doesn't change the point of what MSRP prices are and how they compare with relative release cycles and comparable price histories. Keep imagining you and others are the norm with gaming systems and come down to earth on the fact the vast majority of PC gamers won't even have systems that can compete with the PS5 let alone the Series X in the near future. Even today... PC gamers can't afford a co...
@Razzer Redux - you imagine that a new card will be coming out that is cheaper than the current RTX 2080 which sales for $800? (was previously showing a $700 msrp in January) And you talk about prices going down but you forget the fact RTX 2070 now sells for $600... which is $100 more than when it first came out. Don't lie to yourself with the idea cards are going down in price. They are not. And with the issue with COVID-19 around the world production of anything isn't going to be s...
@RazzerRedux - obviously you have not been following the trends of PC systems. For sure the PC is not looking at such types of upgrades in the near future and especially not at the value offered by Series X. When they do come down the line they still will be incredibly expensive and still leave the majority of PC gamers with a system that is far less than what the Seris X offers.
Point being that many people already have a PC. And the idea that Xbox plays across all systems with a focus on not having to purchase games separately for each that entices them. That and the sharing of save files from each to the other allows you to continue your play same save from one system to other without issue. It is called compatibility.
@Computersaysno - you are missing the point that the Series X is better than the vast amount of PC gaming systems available at ...
That would be simply because of the user base.
And yes... many people tend to simply buy with little regards to which is better and instead on what is trending at the time in marketing.
Come Series X launch expect to see a patch available to unlock console version for Series X gamers to get an even better experience than regular upgrade via simple stronger system specs.
@Battlestar23 - "The system still possessed similar power draw though, so the end result was a hotter console - albeit one that delivered a big improvement in its acoustic performance." so basically makes it run hotter but with less sound... wtf? Why would you upgrade to favor sound over heat???
Expect the PS5 to be equally as loud. Looks like we have seen nothing from Sony on the cooling of PS5 as we have seen for Series X. So we can only take from this that it is not a focus they have or want to share with us.
"Series S is suppose to be only about as powerful as x1x." WTF are you going on about? What makes you even imagine a Series S would be made that was basically little different than the XB1X?
Any talk on a Series S has been focused on digital only (removing Blue-ray) and not on gimping the system specs to the point of last generation.
Also, PS5 is not going to sell any less than $450. Guaranteed.
Obviously you haven't been to too many middle school debates. Because they for sure have a better grasp in their research for debate than most Americans.
Not even close... they were specifically for the marketing to consumers that have been cried on for a long time now.
How is their a max limit on the XBSX? You can purchase as many external SSD as you want and simply place in the one with the game you want to play.
Sure a pain on keeping track of which SSD has which games on it but not like it is actually a limit as you suggested.
And what makes you think it is not nearly as advanced?

This is what it has all boiled down to... Fanboys claiming now that audio and load speeds are more important than anything else. Why? because they think they might have some kind of advantage in said areas... but they really don't.
Actually equally so and with a dedicated audio chip in the Series X.
Series X has a dedicated audio chip and their audio ray tracing solution is called "Project Acoustics". If you imagine PS5 is focusing on audio then don't discount Series X as it has a lot more going on than you imagine.

Many were wishing for a narrated paint drying story because he put everyone to sleep here.
Not something that MS hasn't already invested in with Series X.

Not even that. MS has a propitiatory 'Xbox Velocity Architecture' that is touted to do what Sony is doing with hardware but with tech design. It basically allows that up to 100GB of data to be preloaded for a game. https://arstechnica.com/gam...
@jukins -"Plus tons of rumors have sony investing heavily into cooling this gen" go ahead and link us these so called "tons of rumors"... I have read next to nothing on Sony adopting any such cooling investment. While Microsoft has came out and directly acknowledged their cooling system and its focus being the major reason for the design of the Series X. Sony... hasn't even shown an etch-a-sketch of their sytem.
