Hahaha - that's all it takes and people run with it. Damn they've got it easy.
Not good enough ms, the only 1st party gameplay you've was deemed not good enough by the masses.
That should priority #1 - nothing more, nothing less. Around 15 1st party studios and not one can have a game ready for the launch of your next console.
Absolutely shameful from one of the worlds largest corporations.
1 out 5 for me.
Brett - quite right, it is quiet.
Sophisticated Chap - for a reason, and people who game don't mind them that way. If its a HTPC - m-itx is ok, but not when you have thermals to consider.
Bigger is not necessarily a bad thing in this instance.
*Remake - like Demons Souls.
Serious questions - when was their last good year? When was there last good game as a developer?
Since ms owns them - a lot of people have stopped asking those questions.
They're a stinker and $7.5 BN will ensure future products are multi-plat.
Really was a silly buy from ms.
King : Just watch his xsx videos - he's pushing the same narrative as the other shills. Instead of calling out the short comings - which no one seems to be doing. The heat should be unbearable for ms by now - but barely a whimper. It may get mentioned in passing and that's it.
No bigger than an ATX case - and that MB is a thing of beauty. I know it'll sit in front Phanteks Enthoo case and I'll still 1/3rd Of it.
Easy to customise, easy to clean, easy to upgrade and should be very quite, cool and super fast between tasks.
Going off other people the game was poorly optimised and had a slew of bugs.
Absolutely I want to see new games running on xsx - don't you? I also want to see what ms is doing with halo.
The Medium didn't look good and is hardly a comparison to what PS5 is releasing with. You listed 3rd party games champ, I want 1st party games - new games.
Its not about that though.
ms need to change their strategy, the small...
The hardware you're comparing too is 7yrs old. How is this impressive?
I don't know how anyone could be excited for this news. It just reekes of desperation.
Do you know what would make a good article - the progress of halo, hands-on with some launch titles.
They've gotta move to phase 2 - no more BC talk, no more gamepass talk. Start looking ahead, they're literally promoting a steambox - and look how that turned out....
ElementX - it shouldn't be the main point of your new console either.
There's a difference between BC being a thing and BC being the only thing.
Bloody sad.
It's a positive Sony doesn't have the same insecurity in their product as ms does.
Sony doesn't need weak praise from YT nobodies, it is all so fake and see through.
The latest on the ms love train is YongYea.
Anyone buying an xsx for AC: Unity or any other old game is doing life wrong.
nick - Good to hear mate, you've gotta take a punt every now and then. I'll be doing the same thing - but also have the same reservations others have mentioned.
Something new is always good - now it's up to Counterplay to deliver.
Mark said there'd be more info at a later date.
But even if it was only the top 100 games - pre-orders and lifetime console sales wouldn't have been affected too much.
BC is not the reason people buy a PS5 - just a small bonus.
You're right man - I mean look at the community. Ugh - just look they how excited they are for Bethesda being part of 1st party.
I mean - really? Just look at all the positive news regarding them over the last 4 yrs or so. No thanks.
Look at PlayStation and the quality roadmap ahead - untouchable.
ms just can't compete.
Because I'm waiting for ms to actually show me something worthy.
Machine when I preordered and one x - cancelled a few weeks later when it became apparent ms hadn't changed.
History repeating itself.
The energy is going in the wrong direction ms, just show games, games and more games. Nothing has made me think I need an xsx in my life.
My local EB - one of the bigger one's in Melbourne, Australia - has PS4 as you walk in, xbox and PC near each other at the back and Nintendo gets a whole floor to its self. It's 3 levels, the basement being figures and other stuff.
I was replying to your comment from 7hrs ago. Any advantages you perceive with proprietary hardware is negated by cost vs speed.
Clearly Sony went the better route - ms should know better.
And terms of installation - 2 screws and a faceplate is hardly difficult.
Please - be excited.
