@Coletrain this exactly. They finally have some momentum with a good lineup while Sony recalibrates after going in on live service and this is when they start dual releasing. I mean just give it two years to make up some market share and solidify brand’s foundation moving forward
Halo Infinite is my favorite FPS and prob in my top 5 games of all time. It is just so much fun to play (keep in mind i only play campaign i don't know about multiplayer)
@BIG3 exactly. They FINALLY have a solid lineup of games, right when Sony is floundering a bit after going in on GAAS and they start porting to ps. They keep shooting themselves in the foot
Xbox had an incredibly strong showing. I can’t help but wonder how many consoles would have moved over the next 2 years if they’d kept to exclusivity. People pick up a console bc there are games they want to play, and can only play, on that console.
I never actually beat it so im waiting for the dlc. I did not upgrade my ship at all and I opted to fight both the ppl at the end and I didn’t have a chance in hell
@Ryu_Niiyama i almost went with a Ducati scrambler when I bought a new bike couple weeks ago but went with a Harley instead. I didnt know they had bike sims are all tbh
I don’t see anything for me but I’m pretty well stocked. Think I’ll get crash 4 for sale on ps5 just seems like should be a ps game after playing originals on it back in the day
we're not doing this again right? a wink and a nod about it just being at launch. the original remake never came to xbox, this won't either. don't string ppl along
This sounds like it;d hit the spot right now actually. I need a break from the 100 hour big map with objective markers/crafting/monotonous sidequest games of today
I think I’m going to buy that limited run of pentiment. I hate to say it but I’m sort of leaning toward getting ps5 copy as I’m not sure about Xbox future physical support
this is actually not good for the industry. 1) if MS drops out of hardware business- that's a lot of jobs lost at MS. 2) it leads to further consolidation of the industry with 1 big remaining player, Sony. Monopolies don't tend to work out for anyone except the person holding the monopoly. It would be really, really bad for the entire industry and it's consumers.
Honestly, at this point, you just can't argue that Xbox doesn't deserve 3rd place. I've had an xbox since the year the original launched btw. But they learned with the launch of Xone you need big games people can only play on your console to encourage people to enter your ecosystem. They respond by putting their, admittedly limited, first party selection day and date on PC. Then they finally accumulate a large portfolio of potentially consistent exclusives, and they put them on their main rival's platform. i mean, c'mon.

@Lrapsody I personally did not like frontiers. It is very bland open world, kind of aimless, not much fun
Re: BioWare Drops One Final Look At Dragon Age: The Veilguard Before Its Xbox Launch
I have it preordered. I’m going to have a hard time getting past how egregiously ugly the companion character designs are but the game looks fun
Re: Review: Alan Wake 2: The Lake House (Xbox) - Connecting The Dots To Control
Yeah… I beat both of then but I’m just not an Alan wake fan. They are not scary or spooky and the controls are frustrating

Re: Xbox Fans Urged To Remain Calm As Emotions Run Wild On Social Media
This is the medium we all enjoy. If Xbox caves it is basically a Sony monopoly on the hardware side and man, we are all gone lose. Big time.
