Need to see more, though I'll more than likely end up getting it eventually. Gamepass is really tempting

Has Microsoft sold you yet on the Xbox Series X?
- Thread starter Vire
- Start date
Housemate and I are both getting a PS5, but have decided to go halfsies on an XBSX for the lounge room.
I need access to Hellblade and cbf dealing with PC's anymore.

with PC gamepass idk that i will need it, but it does look really good
unless the next gen leap is completely beyond my i9 and 2070

It looks like a great console, but I also want to see what Sony are doing with PS5 before I make a decision. This gen was the first time in a while that I chose a Sony console first as the XBox One had too many flaws, issues and weird quirks for me to consider. I usually end up with all 3 consoles (Sony, MS, Nintendo) anyway, but the order and time changes based on launch factors.
I'm in the ecosystem since the original Xbox so yes they did, more or less. I already set aside all the money I'll need for games, accessories, etc. when they announced Scarlett.
That, and I don't buy Sony hardware anymore after I got rid of my PS2, nor do I care for most of their output.

PC with Gamepass+PS5+ Switch is all I need in my life. But i Will gladly continue to buy Gamepass.... Soooo win-win
It's basically game pass that has me thinking about buying an Xbox next year. I don't have a lot of money for games usually, so subscription services are really tempting. Then again, with xcloud coming out eventually, would I even need to buy the console? I'll need to see how the streaming stuff works out before I can be sold on buying expensive hardware. It's a nice looking box though.
Let me let you in on a secret. VR is not going to pop off next gen.
Man, it really doesn't take much to "sell" a console to some people. Die hard Xbox fans, I get, but the regular consumer? Nope.
They showed two sides of it, a controller, and a name. We've also only been told of two games, neither of which we've actually seen gameplay of yet (Halo, Hellblade 2).
No. No, I'm nowhere close to being sold on it yet. Same with the PS5 despite owning a PS4. I need reasons to want these things other than "it exists" or "it will exist in a year."

Personally I need to see more to see when I buy. Truth be told I buy ALL consoles anyway, and I love Gears, so I will eventually but so far a CG trailer (I know in engine but I have seen those before) and a halo game don't do it for me. Also the box honest does not fit in my entertainment unit, and with a 3 little kids I don't just want it in the open. So for me so far, atm is a no.
For me it wasnt how they showed X at the game awards that sold me. It has more to do with watching a company seem to learn lessons from a bad launch and make very positive changes. From cross platform play, game pass and xcloud. They way they seem to be moving more in step with what gamers want ,and are looking at a bigger picture. Microsoft has grown on me as a consumer.
I'm a Nintendo fanboy admittedly but I always buy all the systems. Ps4 for a large part of this gen was my main go to. Then the switch became a staple in my gaming time. Witherspoon x1x I moved to Microsoft and my main home system. In the end I'm always looking for who can give me the best experience.

every xbox, xbox 360 and xbox one game available on the xbox one is available on series x
The ability to play older games like SSX 3 and Tricky in addition to modern games tempting. I will see what Sony has to offer with the PS5. Lately there haven't been nearly as many strong exclusives on Xbox as other platforms.
The Hellblade teaser did adsolutely nothing for me.
I like the Sony ecosystem the best out of pc, Nintendo, and ms, but I am cautiously optimistic about the series x, despite feeling lukewarm on the design and name.
The One X is my least used console, but I am hopeful they can reverse course with some of the good ideas they have had recently-game pass is one, even though I have it and don't use it that much, I like the idea of it.

It's super beefy, runs thousands of games with the potential of running my older games even better, and it has Game Pass. As long as we're not talking a $800 system, I'm sold.
Don't really know anything about it aside from what it looks like. And I have little interest in their games even through Gamepass. I sign up now and then, play 10 minutes of a XboxGS game and then give up
I'm into it, I dig Halo, have Game Pass, but maybe the 1080p variety.
Also, finding a spot to put it is a slight issue.

Having a Windows 10 PC will always be my reason for not getting an Xbox console.
If a game comes along that I want to play I'll get it on the Xbox app or get a month of game pass. I haven't felt the need to do that since they made the switch to putting everything on PC but I'm sure at some point I will.

I can't decide until I know what Sony are cooking up I'll be getting one of the new consoles out of the gates, but most unlikely both.
Yes, but perhaps not on day one since my One X is still beasting along. I'll probably go with the PS5 first since I don't have a Pro.*
*unless it's loud again like the Pro, in which case I will likely never own a PS5. Quiet consoles are non-negotiable for me going forward.

I was sold before the reveal, because I've been sold on the Xbox ecosystem for years now. The XB1 is my primary multiplatform game console, and I have a large library from past gens, which is better than ever thanks to all of the 1X's 4K updates. Also, I prefer the XB1's controller and UI to the PS4's. Finally, Gamepass is an absurdly good deal in its present form.
The XSX represents four generations of entertainment to me. I'll wait a year or so for the bugs to be ironed out, unless there's a ridiculously good trade-in deal for my 1X. But yeah, I'm convinced.

Sold on what? The promise of power? All nextgen machines will be powerful. Between gamepass, hardware and xcloud I don't even know what their strategy is.
Will the launch lineup be on gamepass as well? Will it be cross gen? I'm not missing out on anything major by not having Xbox hardware now. Why will that be different next gen?

My experience on the X with GP has been incredible so I'm definitely on board though maybe not at launch unless there's some amazing exclusive that's a way more arresting experience visually than what can be had on the X. I'm skeptical launch window titles will have full next gen exclusivity anyhow. I also just upgraded my PC so it'll be more likely I can experience whatever fancy first party games they have available though my cpu is showing its age and with no SSD I might not be able to take full advantage of the sort of features the new systems will utilize in terms of faster loading of environments, more complex simulations/physics etc. We'll see, gonna be a very interesting next six months of info leading up to release that's for sure.
I was always going to get it, but excited? Nah, they sold me on the X too and that turned out with nothing to play
I was sold as soon as halo infinite was announced. Knowing the potential of having a system with the form factor of a mini ITX? That's the cherry on top. You can do some wild fun things with a build that size. Can't wait to get it. Really loving what Xbox has been building towards these last few years.
Not yet. I will do like I've always done, wait a while to see how this new gen plays out, and buy the one with the exclusives I like more, or the leading platform. Last gen Xbox was a clear winner but PS3 had enough exclusives that I ended up getting both. This gen, PS4 was the winner, and there was nothing on Xbox that I couldn't get on PC, so I only got one console.
Next gen, we'll see.
