They won’t and they don’t need to yet.
They will need to start converting once AAA output meets 4 games/year as promised. And as much as I love my ps5, I also know that Zenimax will make games that I NEED to play. But they haven’t yet, so I’ll wait until then to start hunting for a series X. Im certainly not going through all of that trouble to play Game Pass games at 120 hrz…. What a lame upgrade imo.
Every new console needs new great games, no wa...
What’s the motivation to buy a $500 series X, 120 hrz BC and Game Pass? That might be cool for some, but I couldn’t care less about either feature. And im glad that Infinite will be available on the Xbone so that I don’t need to upgrade, but that is one less reason to need a series X, too.
I don’t see momentum actually building for the series X this holiday, they’ll coast on whatever momentum they already have. I’m sure Microsoft will survive until Starfield releases, so...
I will play Infinite on my Xbone for free, and play everything else on my ps5.
Until there’s a game that I can’t play on my Xbone or ps5, I have no reason to think about a sX/S.
Starfield might change that in a year, or Doom pt.3 might grab my attention one day (I hope they stay multiplat for the series, since it started that way.).
I think Game Pass is lame because none of the games interest me. It’s alotta content for $15, but I don’...
Care to elaborate on “everything”? Because texture detail is kinda a cornerstone of a game’s appearance.
And am I really some sorta Sony fanboy for having this opinion? Or do I just have eyes?
Well that seems like a missed opportunity.

Xbox has no excuse, aside from they had less studios than Sony or Nintendo before their Zenimax buy.
But they were able to make Gears and Halo 1-3 with their studios, so they simply have ZERO excuse for the Xbone being the most boring console to own of the last decade.
But that doesn’t mean their success isn’t needed. If Sony didn’t blow people away with the ps4, then the XsX/S could have just rested on Game Pass. But the PS4 ...
Considering how long ago they bought Zenimax, I’m hoping for some promising teasers (and pessimistic about seeing any neat gameplay).
No compression between the Xbone and XsX?
As someone who chose Halo 2 over the PS2’s massive library, I cannot wait for M$ to get all of their franchises running on full steam.
My ps5 is a blast, but I hope it gets some strong competition out of the Zenimax deal. Somebody needs to keep Sony sharp.
The gameplay looks great, but the graphics don’t hold a candle to the DS remake of ps5. That surprised me.
Cool 🤙
It shouldn’t be the ONLY mp mode, but why not make it an option in Forge?
…who cares that video game characters are being associated with soccer?
I’m enjoying 8 more than 7, but I’m also playing 8 on Hard…. I think that matters. The first combat section was excruciating, but it’s been a fun challenge ever since.
Who cares?
“They literally have every resource they could ever need to make the game their playerbase wants”
‘Every resource’, lol, that’s the kinda hard data point that wins debates. ‘Every resource’ doesn’t amount to ‘miracles’, and they were NOT given ‘every resource’. They were given 3 years to make a game, not 5+. I’d expect more if we were waiting longer, but we weren’t, so I don’t.
Before you set your expectations so high, maybe look around for another dev...
I think you don’t understand AAA-scale game development.
Innovations are expensive. No sequel will overhaul everything in one swoop, unless they spend 5-7 years making a game from scratch; and 2042 spent 3 years, which is reasonable. Battlefield wasn’t lagging behind in destruction, V had great destruction. They needed to up the player count.
One step at a time. If you think this is easy, feel free to start your own studio and start recruiting devs t...
No Game Pass mention?
Your comment is a lie?
The XsS only outputs in 1080p, and it still has an SSD. 99% of games don’t “need” that SSD now, but Sony didn’t make it the most expensive part of the rig for no reason. And, it was made to be twice as fast as the XsX’s SSD for a good reason, too.
Anybody that has been gaming for a few gens knows at this point that the hardware is never fully used until at least the middle of the generation. And since games take 5+ years to make ...
I thought R6 zombies was a joke when I saw it. The event was fun, but I’m not gonna pay for PvE R6 that isn’t even realistic.
This is why Ghost Recon Frontline was ratio’d away: “Tom Clancy” translates to “military sim” to your fanbase. Stop watering down that realism, or drop the “Tom Clancy” branding. It really is that easy… how many marketing people at Ubisoft get paid over $100k and couldn’t figure that out? Ffs it’s super obvious….
Know your bran...
