  • I've been on Xbox my whole life, it's what I am most comfortable with.
  • The games that I care about are not exclusive to either console most of the time.
  • PC (Windows) and Xbox cloud save allows me to switch between the two whenever.
  • Streaming my Xbox console on my PC so I can use the simple Xbox UI on my PC while doing my other school related activities.
  • Microsoft is starting to invest heavily into gaming with their acquisitions of various large publishers/developers (Ie. Blizzard, Bathesda)

This is a bite-sized list, but ask any specific questions about the Series X and I'll help out the best I can.

I’m right there with you, another important point to add in for me that ties in with your first point is the eco system. I play big games that I tend to start and stop on. Right now I’m playing rdr2 going for 100%, I’m playing through the train sim world games to get all of the achievements, plus some others. These are going to keep me busy gaming wise for a long while. If I switched console I’d have to buy those games again so the fact that im so entrenched in that MS ecosystem (and no complaints about that) is another big factor keeping me there

I do have a ps4 for the exclusives I want to play, there’s no tribalism on my part. I’ll get a ps5 when I can but there’s no rush.

Thanks for answering me! I really liked how PS controllers feel, and with new upgrades, dual shock seems better than ever. Can you tell me your experience with Xbox controllers? Are they durable? I have a nasty habit of pressing to strongly one of the analog sticks when I get too engaged into the game and "analog drift" used to be a big problem for me with ps3.

Sure thing. The controllers are not as good as they used to be, only when it comes to durability. I have had to replace two Xbox wireless controllers ($60). This is because they started to drift.

Basically, I would say to get a warranty on any controller you buy. If you manage to have it last longer than the warranty, I think you get your money's worth. If It drifts before the warranty is up, get it replaced.

It is a very comfortable controller, and I wouldn't recommend third party controllers because of this. They may not be as good as they used to be, but I still believe they are some of the best in the market.

Edit: NOT ELITE SERIES 2 ($130)... GOD no. I am not Bill Gates

Gamepass is overhyped. Controller is the same as it's been since the 360: garbage. Microsoft makes a powerful console but can't manage to output games, even with 30+ studios because their management sucks. Nobody cares about streaming unless they are trying to argue about Xbox.

If you say so man. I have fun with my Xbox, playing the games I like everyday. That's all I care about. Also, I didn't mention gamepass or the controller once in my reply. Seems like you just had that console war cooking in your head and didn't read most of my comment.

My opinions aren't limited by yours. If you can share yours, so can I.

Then it isn't a conversation, it's just you screaming at clouds. So I will treat it as such.

The fact that you clicked a button called 'reply' makes it a conversation. That's the definition of the word 'conversation'/ One person says something, then you reply.

This guy didn't ask for your opinion. OP did. Why not share your opinion with the person who asked for it instead of trying start an argument with someone who didn't?

I was just giving you friendly advice. I didn't share my opinion on the matter with you in any way.

As a PS player, the Xbox controller isn't garbage 😅

Totally agree, more comfortable for sure. But after experiencing DualSense, clicks and triggers of the Xbox controller feels a bit empty to me. New elite controller was a huge missed opportunity to bring adaptive triggers to Xbox in my opinion. But there could be a legal issue with that, you never know with Sony these days

As a player of everything BUT Xbox, comparatively, yes it does.

Can you give some examples of all of these? In what way is gamepass overhyped? What’s the issue with controllers? When was the last time you think Microsoft released a game?

You have a lot of issues here but I have a feeling it’s strowman arguments to try and justify a blind fanboyism to whatever your favourite console is
