I'm not a huge gamer, but I do like to game. I stopped gaming after the Dreamcast era because I wasn’t a fan of Sony and had sold my N64. Once Sony took Sega out, I thought I was done with gaming. One day, my buddy called me frantically, saying, "YOU GOTTA COME OVER NOW!"
When I got there, he told me he had purchased a new console called Xbox. We played NFL Fever, NBA Inside Drive, Tony Hawk, Fusion Frenzy, and, of course, Halo! Since I was in high school, I decided to get a job and save up to buy an Xbox, and I did just that. Some of my best gaming memories are with that console, playing Madden, GTA San Andreas, and Halo.
The Xbox 360 was my next console, which was also awesome, with the introduction of Gears of War and Forza. Microsoft had some killer instinct back in those days. I still supported them through the Xbox One days and currently own both a Series X and S. My kid and wife like Xbox, so I got the S as well. I was not a big fan of Sony exclusives and the coil whine and loud fan of the PS5, so I sold it and will likely never buy a PlayStation again.
I do not want to see Xbox turned into just a publisher because Microsoft won’t let the team at Xbox innovate. I plan on supporting the next Xbox but hope to get a PC as well to play the Sony exclusives. Sony fans will be in for a shock once they announce PC releases on the same day as their console exclusives.
