They should stop the nonsense, and create gaming consoles, meaning up gradable, cpu and memory to run PC games, and able to run steam and other sites where your games are stored.

Put out 2 options, one with consolish stuff, and one that is a gaming console, that does everything, and ables you to get away from pc. With keyboard and mouse support for the pc games.

Why? Their current console is already getting smoked by Sony. They should just through in the towel already.
Microsoft's Game Pass service is probably the single greatest value in gaming. Other than maybe the free-to-own CoD Warzone thing.

At least half of my switch games are exclusives, but about half probably could be played on ps4 if I could find a copy (Immortals, Ni no kuni, FF XII, YsVIII)

All of my Nintendo exclusives have been nothing short of fantastic, though

This is where I wonder what xCloud will do with Nintendo. XBox and Nintendo are doing something together, but per Nintendo in April it is not going to be xCloud on Switch.

I wonder if we might see Nintendo games in xCloud though.

There is no money in hardware (console wars), but there is a frick ton in software.

Yeah man. Nintendo pushes out exclusives that are worth buying a console for. For me, they weren't doing that with the Wii or the Wii U, so I did not buy those consoles while they were "fresh." I feel like Sony swapped places with Nintendo in that regard. Sure, they have a few exclusives I might want to play. No, they don't have enough to make their console worth buying just to gather dust on my shelf.

That's sad. Ratchet and Clank is amazing. At least you have mlb the show now

Meh

Darkest Dungeon is on Gamepass, as is the Ori series, all the Banjo Kazooie, and Hollow knight.

I feel like I will pull through this dark time, somehow.

These games aren’t even comparable to the caliber of game that Ratchet and Clank is. Enjoy that trash, while we’re playing true next gen games.

Same here, now I have bought games for the PS4 and Switch.

Really looking forward to playing Forza Horizon 5 day one off of GamePass.

LMAO. I have a PS5. I am CHOOSING not to pay $70 for Ratchet because I have plenty of things I can play while I wait for it to eventually be on sale.
