My biggest problem with the series s is how it handles backward compatibility games. The one x does better. It’s Just hard playing games like killer instinct in sub 900p when others are playing at 4k
@UltimateOtaku91 @UltimateOtaku91 have you been on pushsquare. Actually you have. The Sony fans care. They think Microsoft won’t honour their commitments and will eventually kill their company by buying more and more companies growing their monopoly.
Maybe there’s a lot of Sony higher ups with push square accounts crying online. I guess that’s an option. They sure have no problem crying in the real world. Why not online.
Also for years all I heard was that Xbox should invest into single player narrative driven games because all their focus was on online multiplayer games such as gears and halo. All I’m learning is that Xbox wasn’t spending their money wrong investing in online multiplayer games… they just weren’t games good enough to take control of the market. But apparently this is all the market cares about.
Well it’s a bit disruptive as in it changed how we look at games. Disruption isn’t always bad though. I don’t own a land line anymore thanks to cell phones. I don’t go to blockbuster to rent my movies. Ideally my next car won’t take gas and most importantly call of duty will be on switch.
I know Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo at the start. But did they approach Sega. The Dreamcast had a powered by Windows CE sticker. Honestly I wish Microsoft would just have bought Sega and branded powered by Microsoft. It would have given them IP and some gaming cache.
Normally on nintendolife you have people there that can’t help themselves mentioning how superior ps or Xbox is. It’s a bit annoying. But more and more on this site we have Xbox x owners and s owners debating if the s should even exist. So we’re trolling ourselves now?
I just wish all the Xbox one x enhanced games could become series s enhanced 1080p 60fps. That must be possible. Why am I playing black ops 3 at 900p still?
@Rural-Bandit a digital series x would be so close to the series s in price I think they’d have to drop the series s price to move units. Which is fine since the series s has had a few sales already.
But I think it’s a streaming stick.
I hope Nintendo makes a switch tv box as a side note.
@Carck there’s tons of people who buy a PlayStation simply because it’s the cooler system but likely only really buy call of duty and or fifa every year. Both games they likely want online for. These people must hate paying to play online for such a small amount of games. It’s why I refuse to pay for Nintendo online because I know I’m paying only to play splatoon 2. So if one system allowed them to play for free then they would consider just buying the xbox instead. Why would you pay $150 ( cod 50 + fifa 50 + online 50 = 150) when you could pay 100? Free online will make xbox cheaper but it will also make PlayStation look greedy.
Bought a series x. Returned it. I don’t really have time to game. I just want to play f1, call of duty, and fifa each year. The x would just be a waste of money and I’d be mad at myself for wasting that when I’m primarily dedicated time wise to Nintendo.
@XxEvilAshxX I went from a one x to a series s and have zero complaints other than the backward compatibility not being as good. The ssd makes a huge difference. But I really just play call of duty and fifa.
Honestly I wanted a full size one like the ones they sent to “influencers”. I was going to put it in my kitchen and influence my son to put his Nintendo down and play gamepass instead.

@evan23 true but it’s black with more ssd.

Re: Microsoft Is Starting To Advertise Its ActiBlizz Acquisition On Billboards In London
@Moonglow I thought Sony lived off of god of war, Spider-Man, last of us, enchanted????!!!
I guess when Sony fans said year after year that Xbox didn’t have any games. What they meant was that Xbox doesn’t have call of duty marketing.

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Fans Are Loving The New Map In 'Rally Adventure' DLC
It sucks that Microsoft can’t build their own games and have to buy studios. They are probably buying reviews too. Next your soul.
This was my take away from one day on push square.
Btw I love forza.

Re: FTC Files Lawsuit To Block Microsoft's Takeover Of Activision Blizzard
So no call of duty games on the switch. Now I don’t need to feel bad about my 4 late night Facebook marketplace Xbox one x purchases for the lan room.

Re: Xbox Appears To Be Teasing A Major New Game Pass Title For December
I thought the article was going to suggest call of duty games on game pass. Even some old ones would work well for mine.

Re: It's Been 15 Years Since Call Of Duty 4 Changed The Xbox Live Landscape
I enjoy BO3 for the zombies which remind me of WAW and BO1. But I miss the old multiplayer of MW and BO1.
Why doesn’t MW REMASTERED have lan support. The world hates me.
Re: Microsoft Lays Out 'Benefits' Of Xbox + Activision Blizzard On New Website
@BAMozzy @pip_muzz I was thinking more of porting call of duty modern warfare remaster or black ops 1 in 1080p 60fps. Both things the switch could do.
