Re: Talking Point: How Much Would You Be Willing To Spend On The Next Xbox Console?

@fatpunkslim all salient points, and to clarify, of course we all expect the PS6 to sell gangbusters, but the reason for that being exclusives is just not true. It's the same thing PC guys said about the Xbox One back in 2016; why should I buy your console if I can get a superior version of your games on my PC? Think about how many console sales they lost out on because you didn't need a One to play stuff like Gears 4 and Halo MCC. The same thing is gonna happen to Sony, albeit on a smaller scale since they have such a dedicated fan base that will pay almost any price for the hardware.

@EVIL-C Sony doesn't have exclusives anymore. They're all on PC or Xbox. There's no such thing as "console exclusives" either. Either it's exclusive or it's not. That's what Sony Ponies on forums across the internet told Xbox owners when MS started putting games on PC back in 2016, and I'm going to hold them to that logic in 2026. If I can play Death Stranding 2 or Helldivers 2 on an Xbox or a PC, I don't need a PlayStation 5. And nobody is buying a whole system to play Ghost Of NoBuy I MEAN Yotei.

Sounds like a bunch of Sony Ponies made up some garbage on social media, it spread like wildfire, and the public believed it without verifying a single source because ECKBOK BAAAAAD. Pro tip: any time you hear negative Xbox news, it's coming from a PlayStation fangirl Discord where they literally strategically plan out narratives to bash Xbox with. I'm not joking. Guys like Reforge, Dreamcast Guy, PuertoRock, D Batch, etc. They live to hate Xbox. It's their entire reason for existing.

@WildConcept6 that's the funniest thing about the PlayStation console sales angle. Sure, there's a ton of PlayStation owners out there. Do you know what they're playing? FTP slop. That's all they're playing. Apex, Fortnite, GTA Online, Warzone, etc. The only games they pay for are sports garbage like Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K. The exclusives they love to brag about don't sell nearly enough to justify the production costs in this economy. Helldivers 2 sold WAY more on Xbox in it's first week than it did on PlayStation. The hatred from the Sony Zealots is out of control. I have never seen it this bad before. They've been at war with Xbox since 2013 but this is next level stuff I'm seeing. I think Xbox getting a handheld PC and getting Helldivers 2 really pushed them over the edge. They are running amok on social media and Reddit forums with unsubstantiated claims and outright lies.

The insane thing is they want Xbox to die so bad, they don't even care what that would mean for the future of console gaming. Sony is already charging $750 for a meager upgrade from the base PlayStation 5 while Microsoft is still here. Imagine what they'll do when they don't have any competition at all. PlayStation 6 would very likely be over $1000 if that were the case. And it still wouldn't be able to run UE5 games at 60fps.

@TrevorP86 it's pretty annoying. You come to an Xbox site hoping to escape the negative madness permeating the internet, and you're met with even more cynicism and cheeky commentary. 😂 There's just no escape. If the next Xbox is $1000 or whatever, you can bet the PS6 won't be too far behind in pricing anyway. We all have two years to prepare for an expensive gaming future. Best to start building up that nest egg.
