That’s 12500 weeks when taking 40 hours per week. 250 employees that worked full time for a year, without more than two weeks off, just on backwards compatibility. That’s INSANE!
Outdated when people still play gameboy games. Or old pc games such as Starcraft.
Ok.
He’s definitely not right about this. Gaming machines never age.
I’d say Xbox series X and PS5 both are a couple of years ahead for current average household setups. Most households do not have 4k. (2/3 in US) Series S is perfect. Especially for that pricepoint.
Isn’t this the case with almost all SE ‘exclusives’ currently?
Dragon Quest XI S was a switch exclusive for around a year. Now it’s on PS4 and soon on Game Pass. Same with FF7R, exclusive for a year. And Octopath Traveler, which came to PC after a year. As examples.
SE has a lot of those exclusives for a year, but no true exclusives anymore.
@TheNewButler @playstation_king also, Xcloud released last week. And apparantly runs really well.
Can you imagine the massive potential install base all of a sudden for Game Pass? China, Asia, those territories? Without a box and tv, you’re still able to play triple A games wherever you go. Subscribers will increase, and with it, the games.
Microsoft is playing the long run. They know they have to invest now but will ultimately have the best service there is.
I really don’t know why having a subscription model doesn’t make sense. It’s a steady flow of income. It’s the dream of shareholders. Very reliable info.
They don’t want it because the price of the model would be higher than XBox’es price. And that would make m look bad. Maybe that’s it?
@playstation_king also, just because something sells doesn’t mean it’s good.
Look at Fifa. Or Madden. Or McDonalds for that matter.
And you misspelled Gran Turismo 700. Or Final Fantasy CCXVIIi.
As I said on the other website, I have a ton of playstation gaming experience. And their games are turning stale very fast currently. I’m only playing my Playstation for the JRPG’s, eg Persona. The action 3d person shoulder games are all becoming similar imo.
Truly nothing groundbreaking on the PS5 announcement. Final fantasy 16, but also coming to pc. Bunch of games we already had seen. Almost all CGI stuff. One button press and the character does all kind of things for half a minute. No dates for any of the games.
Yes, I am very disappointed. If I had the option to use Xcloud on my phone, getting myself into the Xbox ecosystem when series X/S launches is a no brainer.
@Darth_Stofi i’d say gamepass is in itself next gen gaming.
Combine that with xcloud and the series s, and you have amazing value for your money. It’s not only about the box, it’s about the complete package. And I’m loving it! This will be my first xbox .
I went through the ps5 showcase, not so much is really peaking my interest. I’m not a spiderman fan. And a lot of what Sony showed was multiplatform.
Technical stuff aside, comparing the two:
Horizon, Kena, Deathloop, Ratchet and Clank, GT7 vs Fable, Everwild, Medium, Psychonauts, Forza, and Halo. It’s very close, all the games probably fit into the same slot, but because of Halo Xbox One X just does have a better lineup for me. There’s not a comparable game on the PS5 lineup.
And because it’s all obtainable via gamepass, Xbox is way ahead in my opinion.
I was a Nintendo person only, but this showcase has convinced me I want a next gen console too, and I’m very much leaning towards XBox now. Xbox Game Pass, Everwild, Halo and Fable and some 3d party stuff. All just a very good addition to the switch.

The next gen trailer looked awesome.

@TheNewButler Isn’t the Medium one too?
Re: Game Sizes Will Be Around 30% Smaller On Xbox Series S Than Xbox Series X
@BAMozzy yeah, I didn’t phrase it correctly, i meant the SSD memory cards that you put in the back of the console. Are they the same?
But thanks for the layout of the differences though! Appreciate it.
Re: Game Sizes Will Be Around 30% Smaller On Xbox Series S Than Xbox Series X
@BAMozzy they’re the same, right?

Re: Final Fantasy XVI Snapped Up As 'PlayStation Console Exclusive'
@Armyof1 FF7R will be there in February, right? Or was the exclusivity deal longer than one year?
Can’t remember

Re: Sony Responds To Xbox With Official PS5 Price Reveal
@Cyrus29 maybe both presentations were boring?
Re: Sony Responds To Xbox With Official PS5 Price Reveal
@playstation_king they’ve shown off game pass. Way more value than your 80 dollar a piece movie cgi only games.
But enjoy, mate, to each their own. I enjoy gameplay.

Re: Rumour: Microsoft Spending 'A Lot Of Money' On Something Xbox Related, Not An Acquisition
@Lupaie79 good idea, I really want Xcloud on switch!
Although, with the Switch’s antennae, maybe not so much..... then again, the controls would be awesome...
hmmm... I’m torn
Re: Talking Point: What Will You Play First On Your New Xbox Series S/X?
The Medium and Cyberpunk.
Testosteron stuff
Re: Xbox Criticises New Apple App Store Rules For Cloud Gaming
Yes, I am very disappointed. If I had the option to use Xcloud on my phone, getting myself into the Xbox ecosystem when series X/S launches is a no brainer.
Re: Microsoft's Entire Xbox Series S Press Briefing Has Leaked Online
@Bobobiwan who knows! Maybe Microsoft planned this all out to catch Sony off guard 😏
But yes, I agree. I also hate leakers and their few moments of internet fame.
Re: Microsoft's Entire Xbox Series S Press Briefing Has Leaked Online
I think the surprise reveal actually worked out pretty well for them! Massive positive buzz going around atm about Xbox.

For newcomers to xbox, which backwards compatible games would you recommend to start with?
Re: Reaction: Xbox Is Making Next-Gen Gaming More Accessible Than Ever

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator Will Be 'Just As Amazing' On Xbox As PC
I’ll buy my XBox S together with this game.
This game and gamepass will be a very nice addition to my Switch library!
Re: EA Play Joins Xbox Game Pass At No Extra Cost This Holiday
Wow, that’s absolutely massive.
Every time you think that the deal can’t be any better, they actually find a way.
Re: Xbox Marketing Lead: We'll Share Series X Price When We're Ready
@playstation_king as I said, they have some exclusives. But that’s it.
Re: Xbox Marketing Lead: We'll Share Series X Price When We're Ready
@playstation_king Playstation literally only has a few exciting exclusives which makes it more appealing in that regard.
In every other way the Xbox series X is more appealing.
