It already is and in many cases better.....As soon as steam OS is giving me equal performance in gaming on PC I'm out.
I did. I sold my XSX after it had been collecting dust. I say this as someone who had been an Xbox Live subscriber since 2007.Xbox console has a niche. There is a reason why it exists and has a fanbase. I cannot entirely replace it with something else.

If you have an AMD system.

Almost everything I need is on Steam and Playstation.
You can do that on other systems. Your friends will be making the switch soon.Its a niche system.
For someone that likes to play online with friends, I would prefer it over others due to gamepass and instant availability for everyone.
Of course you can do this on all systems, but its best for this purpose.
You and everybody else.I'm on Nvidia![]()
Everyone is likely gonna buy pcs. But that can change depending on what MS releases next.You can do that on other systems. Your friends will be making the switch soon.
I'll happily buy MS published games that are legit good. I did that with Indiana Jones and was happy to do so.I mean I'm buying THPS3+4 this month. Isn't that technically a ms product? (maybe you mean hardware)
My biggest issue with these layoffs is how much they shape Microsoft's software output into essentially being ABK, a mega publisher that coasts on the back of select massive and safe titles and does nothing else. I already didn't give a fuck about COD and now it's their "1 more thing" announcement, which kinda tells you where their mind really is at these days.
The Series X is an amazing console, it's quiet, reliable, smart looking (I like industrial design), equals the PS5 and was cheaper to buy (bargain actually from MS using cd keys)The smartest move would have been to see the writing on the wall back in 2013 like most of us did.
Instead you kept investing to the point where you can't get out.
Stockholm syndrome at this point.
Exactly how I feel. I love the hardware and features (esp back compatibility as I ignored last gen), but this gen their games are either sub-par or cancelled after years of waiting. If I knew I was just getting an OK Halo, Forza and Gears I would have got a PlayStation and enjoyed Stellar Blade and Astro bot too. I can wait for the ports. They don't get another penny from me ever again based off promises or trust, they have broken any confidence I had from the first two machines.No, never again. Buying the Series X was a waste of money for me.
Bought it after all their acquisitions and thinking that the 360 haydays were imment again. How wrong I was... The studios they bought either don't do anything or subpar games. And now most of those are even released on Playstation...
Why is this hard for people to understand? Is it because there aren't many average consumers here?
You sound like a Sony Advert pal, I didn't say Xbox is doing well, they clearly aren't.And yet the "average consumer" is choosing PlayStation over Xbox by a ratio of 3:1, even in Microsoft's best markets, and with Xbox offering a cheaper alternative.
If Xbox was doing as well with the average consumer as you claim (which is just another form of "the silent majority" fallacy), they wouldn't be up the river without a paddle.
