Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Seems Happy To Show Off About Playing Starfield Early

@RIghteousNixon I hear ya! Still waiting on RE4 Remake to go on sale or find someone whos selling it cheap on OfferUp or something. I seldom will buy a game on release these days. Starfield will be one of them.

@VisitingComet1 I was back and forth for a bit, but I think I'm gonna be playing this game for a long time and will pause my game pass subscription for a time anyways. My partner is going to a wedding that I opted out of and now I have nothing to do labor day weekend, might as well get the game early! lol

Re: The Xbox Series X Is Basically A 'Mid-Gen' Console Already, Suggests Old Microsoft Comment

Ok if the Series S was the only option as a new console back in 2020, Microsoft would have lost HUDE market share. I for one would not have picked it up and gotten a PS5 off the bat instead of picking it up a few years later.

I could be wrong on this, but I recall analysts saying the GPU on the XSS was less powerful than the 1X but the XSS has a much more powerful CPU...
That mentality of the XSS is the main and the XSX is the mid gen upgrade is crazy. Feels like they're just saying BS for no reason.

Re: Microsoft Takes A Big Loss On Xbox Series X|S Consoles, Reveals Phil Spencer

@themightyant yeah that was my thought, even if the stores are taking a much smaller percentage, all the steps involved must cut into revenue by a big amount.

Now retailers also sell digital codes, what’s the take on those - cause if I buy a digital code through target and redeem it on my console, what’s Microsoft/Nintendo/Sonys take on those?
My first thought is it would be lower - but I really don’t know!

I’ve really into Rings of Power and remembered that I never finished Shadow of War, so I’ve been replaying that on my XSX. It has a 4K add on you can download for free (which I think they made for the one X) and it looks FANTASTIC! Considering is came out in 2017, wow I’m impressed. Plus no load time. I recall the game having really annoying load times on my PS4. So this is like a breath of fresh air!
