I enjoy and am looking forward to the State of Decay series, Fable series, Avowed, Everwild, STALKER 2, Outer Worlds (I'm sure I'll consume anything Obsidian puts out), Gears of War series, Ori series (although they did release the first one on Switch), Rare Replay. I'm sure I'm forgetting things. They have some pretty good game studios so this list will only grow.

They also have Killer Instinct, Halo, Crackdown, Forza, and some others I don't play but other people enjoy so those should be mentioned. The Medium looks cool too, but I doubt I'll be playing much of that. I'm not much into horror games.

When you add in the fact that I don't have to purchase any of those games to play them (which has led to me discovering some great games I wouldn't have otherwise tried), it's way better than what Sony offers.

I had no idea this was an XBox exclusive. I definitely would have mentioned that one. I'll absolutely be downloading that and flying over my house at some point.

You tried to compare these two as similar systems


You keep posting this picture but fail to address that the series S is still $100 cheaper and was never meant to compete at the level you think it is. MS is obviously trying to target two different levels of gamers with the two consoles and price structure. The series S was never meant to compete on the level of the Series X, whereas both PS5s are. So, why are you comparing the PS5 to the Series S and thinking this is some mushroom stamp to MS that the PS5 is better than the Series S? This is a no brainer. Post the same graphic with the Series X and the PS5. *BuT ThE DiGiTaL Is $100 cHeaPer*, you didn't think that was a big deal when comparing it to the Series S?

This many console choices harkens back to the original Xbox 360 launch.

Imagine thinking flight simulator is some kind of win.

You know who else likes flight simulator?

Terrorists. The terrorists do.

From what I can tell the digital XBox is geared towards parents buying a system for their kids. 12 year old kids probably don't have a 4K television in their bedrooms and probably can't tell the difference. That $100 difference come the holidays could mean a lot in some households.

I mean, honestly, what true "gamer" is going to buy these digital only consoles anyway?

MSFS2020 is amazing. Sorry your need to feel superior doesn't allow you to admit that.

Edit: spelling

Addicted to it.

Any BR/NO locals watch C.W. Lemoine "Mover"? He is an ex fighter pilot and does a lot of DCS VR videos.

Mover talking about A.I. v Human

The answer is none. Maybe as a second console, but I'd be just fine with that scaled down model for a second console.

Huh? At least for the PS5 DE, there's plenty of people that are buying it because they've gone digital only.

It's such a dumb comment that I think he worded it wrong.

Hell PC gamers, which I would consider some of the most hardcore with how much they spend, often do not even put a disk drive on their rigs.

I guess we'll find out. I doubt it will be a bad experience.
