Dude, thatās rough. Have fun I guess.Worth it for me for BC alone
Hasnt it been xbox and PC hand in hand since the launch of the One era? So the only BC stuff that would be maybe not on PC would be 360 and previous? Go pick up a cheap 360 or One for those oddballs?Numerous BC games for sure
No, some like halo 5 are not on pc, and many 360 games get 4K and fps enhancements like gears 2/3. BC on series x is awesomeHasnt it been xbox and PC hand in hand since the launch of the One era?

Are those not on Ultimate and also playable on last gen (One) hardware...I guess we can find edge cases but you'd have to be pretty hardcore to justify an X just for those...No, some like halo 5 are not on pc, and many 360 games get 4K and fps enhancements like gears 2/3. BC on series x is awesome
If it wasn't for FF16 I'd probably still not be touching my PS5 either....but yeah, TOTK has practically made both of those consoles nonexistent for many people.I have both and have played none of them since TOTK came out
Better than playing at 0fps on my PS5Guess they wont be playing starfield at 30fps then
No not all the enhanced games get things like fps boost on last gen, and not all of them are on ultimate. Itās just one way to use your series console.Are those not on Ultimate and also playable on last gen (One) hardware...I guess we can find edge cases but you'd have to be pretty hardcore to justify an X just for those...
I'm surprised 20% own a Xbox, because i thought 100% own a gaming pc.
Can make sense for different rooms or your partner's house or whatever. But if you only game at the same spot not so much.Some of us have gaming PC and Xbox.

-Backwards compatibility with some truly amazing games
-Gamepass and quick resume
-Starfield, Forza Horizon, Sea of Thieves, etc
-ecosystem made with future compatibility in mind
-Halo MCC multiplayer if they have any taste
There is nothing on Xbox that isnt on PC right?
And they are not on the One series ?There is a plethora of backward compatible titles on XBOX not well emulated on PC. There is also Epic Games/Origins/Ubisoft/Blizzard titles on PC, which are better experiences on console.
How often does your console lose power to use this argument?Who are they polling to get those numbers? I have a PS5, Series X and S, switch, PC, Steam deck. Definitely prefer playing on Xbox. Upscaled backwards compatibility is great as it's non-existant on PS. Quick resume and HDR perform better than the PS5, and i dont have to do that dumb storage repair if my console loses power. Plus day 1 releases on gamepass for even the big games, save anywhere for pc games, and MS rewards (scored the Series S for free).
FTFYMore than 80% of PS5 Owners Don't Have an Xbox Series X|S YET, SIE data reveals
Starfield is available on and will likely play best on pc. One huge reason 80% on Playstation owners don't have an Xbox is because they have a pc. That was another piece of info that came out of this case. Will Starfield help to move consoles? Maybe a bit, but I dont think Xbox cares either way. Pc or Xbox is fine. I think they would prefer their PC store was more popular though. Cuz a lot of folks will buy on Steam. Me included"According to SIE internal surveys, almost half of PlayStation 5 owners in the United States also own a Nintendo Switch, while less than 20% of PlayStation 5 owners in the United States also own an Xbox Series X or S."
This is really interesting data that came out of today's hearing. And this is has huge business implications in my opinion. I'm listing a few of them here:
The last, most important point is the potential success of Starfield as a driver of Xbox console sales.
- Microsoft introduced Series S as a "secondary" console. But the data shows that more than 80% of PS5 owners did not buy an X or S.
- Perhaps this is also the reason why Series S did not perform as well as Microsoft (and everyone else) initially thought.
- Importantly, this data is from the US -- which is the strongest market for Xbox and where people are most likely to buy an Xbox console, even if they have a PS5.
People expect that Starfield will sell Xbox consoles. MS made it exclusive hoping that even PS5 owners may switch to Xbox or buy a secondary Xbox console to play Starfield. The data so far suggests that the percentage would be extremely low.
Only 20% are dual console owners. Out of the rest of the 80%, a large percentage would not even be interested in playing Starfield. How many more will become a dual console owner because of just 1 game? That's an interesting question.
In light of this data, will Starfield be able to change this percentage, or will the exclusivity decision backfire on Microsoft if PS5 owners don't buy a secondary Series X or S to play Starfield, which leads to lower than projected revenue for Xbox?
Creative Choice0fps, then?
Same, i will play FFXVI soon though, as well as Starfield and Baldurs Gate 3I have both and have played none of them since TOTK came out
Same. Plan on paying for a month of GP to play it as a FU to MS.Starfield is available on and will likely play best on pc.

I'm not really doing it as an FU to Microsoft. It's not that serious. I'm buying it on Steam because I prefer Steam's store and general interface. Simple as that. I'm a consumer. I don't get hung up which box or who's company is better and I certainly don't care enough to say FU to anybody.Same. Plan on paying for a month of GP to play it as a FU to MS.
And no way iām being locked into 30fps. PC only for this game.
