Re: Talking Point: Xbox & Nintendo Switch Owners, How Do You Split Your Third-Party Purchases?

acmiguens

If the game runs well on the Switch, portability wins for me. But depending on price or performance, I buy it on Xbox.
Once I move to a civilized country, I will have easier access to physical media of smaller games for decent prices, so my PS library will get a boost as well.
Both my Switch and Xbox stores are Brazilian, but Sony won't let me change the region of my account from the US and the price difference is quite big, unfortunately.

@NEStalgia I don't doubt it. But I've actually never seen an OG Xbox in person not any of the controllers. They were not very popular in Brazil (at least not where I lived).
On a sidenote, I had a Mega Drive (Genesis) and never knew the Saturn existed until I read about it on a magazine that was covering SEGA exiting the console business.

@HeavyHoggJP I get GPU once I have enough points from the rewards program. Otherwise I play some other games I got on sale. I've already got a Switch and a PS4 as more modern consoles, not counting older ones I still play such as the DS, 3DS and the Wii.
So GPU is amazing, but I do my best to keep the variety going.
Right now I'm playing Quantum Break on my Series S. I could've played it via GPU, but if I finish it this weekend, it will have taken me 3 weeks to finish it. Which is great because I actually bought for about half the price of a month of GPU

Long time reader and I believe second time poster. I've only had my Series S for just over two years and it's my first Xbox, so I have a lot to play to bring myself up to date.
As far as Gears go, I've only played 1 and 2, but I hope to play at least 3 and Judgement before E-Day releases.
I've been fairing better with Halo (especially 'cause I thought it appropriate that the first game I played on my first Xbox be Halo 1. On the Halo front I'm "only" missing 4, 5, Infinite and both Wars games.
