More like it's perfect why change it ?
Xbox series X is small, compact, dead silent . And amazingly built. Why change that ?
Also, with revisions Sony is making, sadly they are using cheaper parts. I love my CFI 1215 and I got lucky with a quite fan too. But it's hard to deny that the older model has more expensive premium heat sink. And then you have to worry about fan lottery ever since the PS3 days. Honestly buying a PlayStation console is a headache especially for OCD people like me.
Also, they just spent 70 billion dollar. They are not fucking leaving the hardware side. If anything , they are more than doubling down to become the biggest in the industry.
In fact with this deal closing Microsoft will be Sony's biggest 3rd party publisher. Imagine the power they would have.
Let's not derail this thread by bringing Xbox into this thread when it has nothing to do with Xbox.
