@Scenes Microsoft aren't saying that cloud is the only way to be gaming but let's be real, we all know that's there end goal. We all know that they want an all streaming only future. There just the ones that are trying to push it more than anyone and certainly more than Sony.
And Microsoft will find out as everyone else will that streaming isn't the future. I've heard so many people say that when that day comes, that's when I'll no longer be gaming anymore. As good as Stadia works and runs, Stadia is failing. This is one of the reasons why I'm more invested into PlayStation because they keep things more traditional and how it's always been.
I know someone is going to tell me, "Sony is going down the same route" Yes they may be but it's so so much further away than Microsoft with the Xbox. Sony aren't nowhere near on the same level with streaming as Microsoft. On top of that, streaming with Sony is more on the back-burner whereas with Microsoft it's what there trying to achieve, it's the be all end all end goal.
I do hope that they really do a good job with this event. Microsoft are known for not being very good at putting together these types of events with showing gameplay instead of trailers etc. Hopefully they've learned from all of that in the past.
@Rural-Bandit I never said that everyone else should pick PlayStation because I have. I own both PS5 and Series X, it's only the Nintendo Switch I don't have. I won't lie though and say I don't prefer PlayStation because I do, always have.
@Medic_Alert I do believe that to be the reason though yeah. I did it myself back in the day with the Xbox 360 and PS3. I bought the 360 because I didn't want to wait for the PS3 to come out, I just wanted the next gen console now. If both were released at the same time then I wouldn't of got the 360 and got the PS3 instead.
I think that's the case now, people don't want to wait for PS5 stock and are just getting the Series X because it's right here right now. People just want the current gen now.
@awp69 I'm not referring to FPS Boost. I'm talking about any game that allows you to choose either FPS or fidelity, I mean in general. I won't pick FPS because of the graphics being lowered.
@InterceptorAlpha What lowers graphics is having the higher FPS because you have to choose it over fidelity. I think the graphics is a big drop between 30 and 60 FPS.
@InterceptorAlpha I can't say I've ever noticed a difference... And don't forget with games that give you the option, you can't have both. If you pick 4K you can't have the 60 FPS either. And guess what that means, to have 60 FPS the graphics are lowered so the game looks worse.
@Bleachedsmiles It's just something I've never thought about, I've never played games and thought about the FPS with the game. Plus I'd rather have my games looking the best they can be, I'm the same with movie and anime and have them the best quality.
I've always preferred fidelity over FPS. I've never ever once in any game that offers either FPS or Fidelity picked FPS, I've always picked fidelity.
I've never even really noticed FPS in games. People say that 30 FPS for example is bad and that 60 FPS is much better, I've never even noticed myself? It's the same to me.

Re: Microsoft's 'Xbox Everywhere' Initiative To Reportedly Include Streaming Puck For TVs
@pip_muzz Yeah because it's always been only the games that are on Game Pass that you can stream, any games you own you can't.

@Rural-Bandit Would you recommend the original Switch? I definitely want to be able to have handheld and TV too.

Re: Xbox Tops UK Charts For Console And Accessory Sales In March 2022
This is only because Xbox has more stock than PlayStation. If there was equal stock then it wouldn't even be close, it would be the King PlayStation.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 4 Announced By Square Enix, Here's A First Look
I'm not sure if this will come to Xbox though? FF7 Remake hasn't even come to Xbox still. Square Enix are more in Sony camp than Microsoft.

Re: Soapbox: FPS Boost Is The Most Underrated Xbox Series X|S Feature
@InterceptorAlpha FPS and graphics are two seperate things. FPS is just the fluidity of motion and performance so to speak.
