@Fiendish-Beaver sorry, I didn’t read all of the comment in full, but most of it. it was good from the start. I just wanted to focus on one part though. I’m a PlayStation gamer, and I definitely don’t want to see Xbox fail, I want to see them spend money on innovation and creativity within, instead of trying to buy up easy sales with established mega brands and publishers.
We don’t want dominance, we want creativity and innovation pushing the limits and driving all sides forward for the good of gaming.
But it seems Xbox is going full Microsoft strategy and trying to force people onto their ecosystem as they consistently get it wrong. And this company is supposedly run by a gamer who loves PS exclusives. I genuinely don’t know why this isn’t filtering down into their productions? It’s baffling how badly they read the room, and just keep their own hardcore on side by offering cheapness of a service as the main draw.
I’ll also say, since the Xbox Series X came out, I’ve been looking for a good reason to get one, I
really want to own one so I have a choice of systems and platforms, and I keep waiting and waiting and nothing is jumping out to make me buy one. I’ve since bought a second PS5, for another room, and I’ve been seriously researching getting a gaming laptop instead, which is like p***ing money away. If my backlog wasn’t already insanely unmanageable, I’d have gone the laptop route for Gamepass and future releases like Starfield. Which is just crazy. And I’m still a bit apprehensive that Starfield will be incredibly lifeless :/
I know if Xbox had released a few really interesting titles I’d have been there in a flash this generation though, but everything they do now seems to put me off more and more. And I’m now more likely to spend even more money on a laptop or desktop to play any games that will also be available on PC, if they turn out good, because the PC will also be able to play and do other stuff too 😬
