There’s nothing hypothetical about playing lots of great games for cheap.

What’s hypothetical is you feeling a “victory” when Sony sells consoles.

Goofy ass Sony stans :mjlol:

They don't see the bigger picture you even have some of the popular PS fanboy youtube channels making Xbox content now. You have 100 indy games coming day 1 as well as Xbox exclusives with other unannounced 3rd party titles too. Come on Ponies lets just stop the fanboy shyt.

Once Sony starts rolling out the games in the next year none of this will matter. Their 1st party lineup will do big numbers. MS has lots of money to throw around for "exclusives", but Sony still has a massive install base that 3rd parties will want to prioritize by default

Gamepass is definitely great value and is keeping Microsoft alive in this battle if we're being honest, but where are the new games?

Whoever makes the best new games, will win. Traditionally, that has not been Microsoft

Microsoft is actually in the best position it's ever been in technically.

They have the hardware advantage, they have consumers favor, they are fully supporting and enhancing backwards compatibility for FREE, they have 1st party studios line up making games and they have a heavy hitter 1st party studio that guaranteed to drop some hits and turn heads.


If they execute like this throughout the generation next gen is going to be a super interesting generation

I see a lot of comparisons of Gamepass to Netflix, but remember, Netflix really took off by having essential original content. Gamepass needs a House of Cards or Stranger Things, and don't tell me that will be Halo Infinite cause it won't LOL

Well thats why Microsoft purchase 20 plus studios. I think they are hoping Starfield will be the goal.

You mentioned all these advantages except for the one that matters. They don’t have games, they need games which is why Nintendo’s 720p machine lapped then.

I’ve got an XBOX, use it exclusively to watch the SMACK/URL app because the games are lacking

the xsx will have a nice set of exclusives by the end of this year and next
I think it will be Microsoft's most successful console
