I buy 3rd party games on Xbox because they will be carried forward with me to the next console. I only get them on the Switch if it isn't available on Xbox.
It's inevitable that Xbox will stop making consoles they all will eventually sooner rather then later. It's not a bad thing either. Xbox will just be the first to do it. They've already shown us that they are serious about the cloud your are able to play on phones, tablets, TVs and pretty much anything else. They are no longer in a (console war) it's not about that it's about their ecosystem Phil has said that from his mouth that they've lost that battle and that is fine. It does not matter how many consoles they sell anymore it's about how many players they have playing and the time and money spent in their ecosystem. If that means putting some of their games on other platforms that just brings more money to their ecosystem. You're still getting the games in GamePass for that low price and the other platforms are paying full price I don't understand why that upsets some people. I do disagree with the statement that was made about the other major platforms would have to accept GamePass on there stuff. There is no need for GamePass to be on those platforms damn near everyone who owns those platforms also owns a smart phone, or tablet and a TV. They've said they will expand beyond just Samsung TVs in the future. I'm a Nintendo fan since the NES and I have loved Xbox since I bought my first one in 2016 The Xbox1. I'd played them since the original but never owned one personally. When I heard the things Phil was saying about backwards and forwards compatibility with games and accessories I was so glad to hear that because it was what Iwata was doing at Nintendo before he passed and they dropped all that for the most part. Xbox is in a great place right now regardless of what is reported by so called journalist and the social media warriors. Xbox is winning be happy and just play games there are tons of them out there to get into.
I had played each Xbox from the beginning but never owned one until I bought the Xbox 1 specifically for a game that ended up being cancelled which was ScaleBound. I enjoyed stuff like the Gears of War remake and Ori so I stuck around. Now my Series X is my 1A after my Switch
@Kilamanjaro Check-out my profile it has my Gamertag and Switch friend code there if you ever want to game together. I know you're several hours ahead of me but I play a lot.
@Kilamanjaro I didn't know there was a weekly verification, I've never heard of it. That is insanity. The vast majority of my Switch games are physical...well so are my Xbox games but I am acquiring more and more digital games on Xbox because of the forward compatibility I know what I buy will be on the next console and I don't have to change discs when I want to play a different game I'm getting old and lazy. I think my time with each console is pretty close. I love Nintendo IPs and Gamepass is the best thing in gaming now. I like being able to play anywhere as well. My Nintendo handhelds always got tons of use as well as my Switch. I bring my Surface tablet with me to play Xbox games.
I bought close to 30 games between my Series X and Switch this year. Just 2 of the 12 I got on the X were physical. Most of the Switch games were physical.
@pip_muzz That's where I first saw it as well. I just finished playing the first game last month and really liked it. Really looking forward to this one.
I have played and finished this game I did enjoy it but as I have seen in a couple other replies the girl did become pretty annoying. I do recommend this game if you are a fan words and writing. I also recommend Typoman and Letter Quest games.
@LocalPenguin I haven't checked it out yet but you could save several designs before. I tried out a few different schemes before I finally decided on what I wanted to get.
I've only bought a few games this year so far. Most of the games I have played have been in game pass. I haven't even played it yet but Doom Eternal is going to be my favorite. I've been saving it to play when I have the time.
By default I have to say the Xbox1 since it is the first one I that I personally owned. I have spent a lot of time playing the other two just never bought them. Pretty excited about the Series X coming soon!

Enjoyed it very much, I don't think it is the greatest game ever though.
