I'm being sarcastic with all the ppl saying they'll play Xbox games on PC but are never in any PC related threads lol.

Hypo: If XSX is most powerful and $100 cheaper than PS5, would you buy an XSX

I don't get it. You did the same for XB exclusives this gen. You didn't buy the cheaper and more powerful system, because it didn't have the games you wanted. Why should others choose differently to broadcast their disaproval, when you didn't do it either?
As some have already said, we buy these systems to play games. Specs and price matter, but nowhere near as much.
You don't get it because it's a typo on my part that makes the post contradict itself. I bought PS4 day one, and didn't buy Xbox One until later. I've fixed the offending sentence. Thanks for highlighting the nonsense I wrote.
LOL seriously.
In no timeline will a new console be both "more powerful" and cheaper.
Exclusives, I'll buy PS5 first because Sony games are exclusive and after a few years when is cheaper Xbox as a extension of my pc just to play on the tv...
My problem with xbox is that, I can play everything on PC so my only reason to buy an Xbox ia to play on the TV.

At launch the PS4 was both more powerful and cheaper than the Xbox One.
That's really only because of a forced peripheral. Doesn't really seem to hold relevance to the topic at hand.
Ah, that explains what seemed off about it.
Regarding the possible lack of quality launch exclusives, I usually jump in day one to be part of the rush, and there's usually been one great game (Resogun, SSX) and this time one average (Killzone: Shafow Fall) to play. The launch window offering more to play, like Infamous and Shadow of Memories in the past. It's enough for me, as I also buy them for the promise of things to come, the inevitable sequels and new IPs from the first party studios, and all the indies and Japanese games that'll be there.
I did postpone buying the PS3 by nine months, until it had more games to play, and I got it cheaper (599€ with RFOM, MotorStorm, and two pads. The original price was 659€ here).
I remember that gen as well. Sony built a lot of goodwill in terms of games at the tail end of the PS3 while Xbox was floundering with their exclusive output (aside from Kinect). No wonder that success carried forth with PS4. The power and price certainly didn't hurt, but wouldn't have as much of an impact if they didn't just close out a gen on a roll with stellar exclusives.
You could call that brand loyalty, but that's shortsighted. It's consumers relying on Sony to deliver must-play games. And they do deliver. That kind of trust goes far.
Then the lead into "TV TV TV" along with Kinect and being $100 more and always online, just killed whatever momentum the 360 had. The 360 was a really good system.
And Microsoft decided to use DDR3 as a sure bet to get 8GB of memory. So they had to sacrifice die space for eSRAM to offset the limited bandwidth of DDR3.

I will buy an SXS,like I been doing since the original XBox...I got the One after buying a PS4 though but now with a 1X,backward compatibility and especially GamePass,I might grab it first again and yeah even more so if its 100 bucks cheaper...we dont know release dates yet,they will be very close so probably the SXS first this time around.
I'm confused.
One day I'm in the Henry Cavill The Witcher "PC" thread reading how PC is so impractical because it is a rich mans platform and how you need $3k to have a decent rig.
Then, the next day I'm reading how there is no point in buying the new xbox no matter it's price or power since all of it's exclusives will just be on PC.
I understand Resetera is not a hive mind, you can spare me that reply. I just find it a bit perplexing.

Its OK to be confused, what I am about to tell you is VERY confusing.
Different people have.... different opinions. I know, shocking.
Funny seeing the results of the poll but then conversely looking at how busy the Next Gen thread is lol.
Not a fair example, as the PS4 was just a mere games console and the Xbox One was an ALL IN ONE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.
I don't trust MS to deliver quality content, so no. But if they prove themselves through the generation I'll get one for sure
Xbone was more expensive because of the Kinect, the all in one entertainment system is lol Worthy.
If you have no interest at all in Sony's exclusives then yeah, you wouldn't.
It seems Microsoft was completely right with putting their games on PC. Seems almost every person on resetera has a decent gaming PC.
I will go where the good games are, and most good games are multiplatform and MS is basically going through the list of Japanese exclusives Sony has left so thats probably going to make stuff easier to make the jump.
PlayStation 1th Party during the PS4 really let me down coming from how great it as on PS3. I am curious if the new leadership will mean more variety again but right now when I look at what has come and the directions both companies are going I would rather go with Xbox for 1th party.

I will, because of Game Pass. Even if it's more expensive but still better performance wise. As I mostly play third parties, I prefer to play the "superior" version even if it doesn't mean that much. And I know it's not a popular opinion, but I prefer games like Ori or Sea of Thieves to big blockbusters like Uncharted and God of War.
But I will also get a PS5 for japanese exclusives like Yakuza/Persona and so on. So in the end, my choice doesn't really matter :D
