WOOOOOOOOO

I already have a gaming PC that is about on par with a Series X but I'm still excited for others who prefer the console experience and were worried it would be like 6-700 bucks

The hardware architecture is 99% the same so there's no way that is happening. The digital only version might be 400 but that is a strong doubt.

So far none of the next gen games or graphics appeal to me.

I don't know why people do this. You're speaking in absolutes and you, like everyone else, had no fucking clue that the Series S would be $299.

Long story less long, stop speaking like you know these things for fact.

I never made any comments on the price of the S, but the PlayStation 5 will factually just not be $399. It is almost identical to the Series X.

I used the S an an example of people assuming prices.... they same way you are assuming prices on the PS5. I don't think you understand what a fact is bud.

It had been reported for a while that Series S would be significantly cheaper, though.

My guesstimates on the PS5 pricing:

Digital: $400-450
Physical: $450-500

Either undercut the SX by $50 because it's weaker, or match the SX because the game selection will be better

I'm being completely genuine when I ask this:

What would be the point in me buying the new xbox if I have a gaming PC? That series S price point looks really good, but I need something beyond that.

I feel like the digital only PS5 has to be a $100 price difference at the least in order for it to warrant an entirely separate sku. Very possible the regular PS5 launches above $500.

The fact is the PlayStation 5 is essentially the same as the Series X in all aspects.

This:

Is a naive fantasy.

The digital only version is completely up for speculation as it is incredibly unlikely it will cost exactly the same as the regular PS5.

But did people know that it would $299? Based on the response, it's clear the answer is no.

None? Why is this a question. MS dont care where you spend your money. Theyve made it pretty clear theyre not trying to bottleneck their audience on one platform.

This question keeps coming up like its a bad thing. Not to say thats your intention but so many try to skew this as a negative.

For being so anti consumer gamers have a real problem understanding pro consumer moves.

If you have Game Pass Ultimate, there will be many games available on it that don't exist on PC at all or just not available through the PC selection. Especially with EA joining the library, this means basically all the sports games can be gotten as part of your GPU subscription but not on PC.

There's also a lot of shit that hits xbox first and PC later. The Xbox also gives you access to game streaming which is streaming using your own xbox as the server instead of the cloud like the old PS Remote Play used to do.

Up to you to decide if it's worth it.

None when you can play every MIcrosoft game on PC.

Just because your post triggered a rant doesnt mean its addressed to you. I mentioned so in the post

Not first party. Third party will have exclusively new gen Xbox. All first party games are scheduled for dual releases with X1 and XSX/S for 2 years although Halo Infinite seems kinda sketchy. That one might be next gen only.
