Has Microsoft sold you yet on the Xbox Series X?
- Thread starter Vire
- Start date
The announcement of the system hasn't swayed me one way or another, but the business model that they've been building towards certainly has me looking in their direction. I have a strong enough PC to last for a while now however, so whether or not I bite on picking up an actual Xbox system or not is still up in the air. Certainly right now there are plenty of times I wish I had an Xbox One so I could play a lot of Game Pass games on the couch, so I'd say there's certainly a good chance I'll dive in.
That, plus Phil's personality and their approach to next gen really makes we want to support them next gen to be entirely honest.

Yeah for me, I think I'm in (not necessarily day one).
1. It's more or less the same price for building a mid-gen PC. My monitors are okay, my TV is a cheap 4k TV, and my sound system is a cheap 2.1 so I don't need to maximize specs, performance and such. Also, couch experience is way more comfortable to me.
2. GamePass, which I haven't tried so far, seems ideal for me: don't need to overthink before I buy a new game (can simply try and ditch), don't need to wait 18/24 months until the game goes below the 20 bucks (live on a budget), I can live without a game that's not included (I don't need to play every single game I'd like to).
3. I can't explain this but Sony's game didn't just grow on me. Maybe it's because I started as a PC gamer, but even FPS can get kinda boring today (not sure I'd try GOW or Halo), my tastes have changed so much. I played the Last of Us, greatly enjoyed it but at some point just wanted to finish it. Same with Spiderman. God of War, never had the intention to buy it even.
I believe GamePass has way more Xbox games available than PC games, so I think it's a worthy choice, and anyway I can always play Civ and other stuff with my RX570.

"The End of Console Generations" is a stated, on the public record pillar of the Xbox agenda going forward which has been understood to mean that all Xbox One consoles will run all Xbox games going forward just like all Xbox games will run on Windows.
No, they lost me at the kinect poncho event. Plus I don't like that girls gums in the trailer 😬
I'll be copping day one no questions.
I'm going to rock w/ MS's ecosystem when it comes to gaming.

Gamepass has me more excited than anything. Well and the X is a nice piece of hardware that gives me confidence in MS going forward.
I buy all consoles tbh and will be doing the same next gen
But this thread feels a year to early

Forza is VERY hard to say no to...but i need to see what the ps5's line up looks like before i definitively decide which im buying first. Ill have both at some point but for the first year or two its just gonna be one of them or the other
I'm going to guess that this is not happening at all. There will be cross gen games but not all XSX games will run on XB1.
Sony commitment to exclusives and freedom it gives their devs says I'll hold out and maybe cop a One X on sale for some catchups on the few exclusives I cared about that I missed. I'm glad they've turned the ship around but the days of Halo being something I day one for or gears being something I'm excited about are kind of over. If their investments into studios stays healthy into next gen I may reevaluate but I have to watch Microsoft carefully.
This is the way.
I wont ever be buying an Xbox again as long as its games are on pc.
Game Pass anti-sold me on the system. As in if I really wanted Game Pass, which I don't - I would just go PC at that point. Get those console ONLY IPs and I might be down with it depending on how the system is set up (eying last launch setup Xbox One).
Not yet. Gotta see the price, what PS5 backwards compatibility looks like, and a new Killer Instinct.
I'm gonna be real hesitant buying the next Xbox after dropping $500 on a console I barely played this gen.

Thus far there's no indication that they've changed their plans yet. Developing and releasing an Xbox SAD at the end of a generation where they haven't done well and resorted to giving away games on the cheap to slow the exodus from the platform sounds more like planning for future backwards compatibility.
