Maybe you should take a look at your post history before accusing others of fanboyism...
You even posted the same "article" about a PS5 with a dildo in 2 different threads.
I mean, I love dildos, but a gaming forum might not be the ideal place for Linking those.

I haven't played on Xbox in over 5 years. It's just too fun interacting with PS diehards on here.
No competition for Sony. Means all Sony fanboys take it up their asses with the wallet.

They'll gladly pay sony whatever they want. Some guy on here legit said, 7th gen comp made Sony remove the PS2 backwards compat, Linux, and other feautres to make the PS3 cheaper. So therefore, no comp would have been better. Too far gone. Gamers get the industry they deserve.

A false narrative, Microsoft hasn't been competition for some time and right now even less than ever but Sony is the only one doing holiday deals.
Microsoft has the most fierce competition ever and they just gave up.

Well, we should be seeing ports of God of war and spiderman to the Xbox series family. Since they're not competition anymore, right?

No, we should see Steam taking their position.

Does it matter? A decade ago you couldn't play Forza Motorsport 6 on PC either. Or Halo 5. A rare miss here and there didn't change the "everything is on PC" talk. It was all about the writing on the wall. A PC port, late or not, was expected around 2015, and the concern and trolling were constant because of that.
And today the same goes for Sony's games.

Even if all parts would be available, with RAM and GPU prices going rampant I don't think people will build their own Xbox Magnus to satisfaction without paying a lot more. I've seen DF try to build PCs for console budget and they're always a bit fat compromise.
There are games with presets for the Deck but that's an area where I'm hoping Valve will step in to improve things on Steam Machine.
I had a docked Steam Deck as my first living room PC. It was essentially a console. Superb user experience,
But it was too weak for modern games. And modding through Linux was a speedbump too much for me personally.
Seems like the same people start a lot of anti-Xbox threads 
Anyway.. Xbox's hardware exit strategy will benefit Sony / Nintendo in the short term.. but unless the console market starts expanding again, Sony will be making many similar moves to Xbox (as they already have in some cases).

Anti-Xbox? I said nothing negative about Xbox just spoke on the situation.Seems like the same people start a lot of anti-Xbox threads

Both titles were 2015 xbox one games. That is when the strategy changed. Anything post 2015 they released on PC. Yeah, it matters because that's what I'm referring to. we're talking about the people perpetuating this talk now. The exact specific people only. The people who were giddy and endorsing the even more redundant Series X with power king memes and saying how awesome it is just a few years ago. who have changed their tune and are now berating the "redundancy" of a console which is still getting games that aren't releasing on PC.

Not totally wrong OP. This Black Friday I looked for series S deals for under $300. They do not exist and this console doesn't deserve more than $270 this late in the console gen plus the current state of Xbox overall. I just wanted a NG1&2 machine…
So I spent that same money I allotted on a meta quest 3. Minus the motion sickness it's been a great time.

is right. What happened was that Sony was selling PS3 hardware at a massive loss. They aimed to recoup this loss by selling a certain amount of games to users. This didn't pan out because xbox 360 took away a lot of third party sales from the system and it became increasingly difficult to recoup costs. They were forced to cut costs on the hardware to "compete" and suffered losses throughout the gen which would have been worse had they not cut back. Their own fuck up for expecting no competition but what

said is correct.

Can't use the exact specific people, many are banned or go under alts or are on other boards.
Scrap the itty bitty details and the general consensus is the same:
* 10 years ago Xbox fans in general didn't like that PC ports of Xbox games were coming. PS fans in general applauded the change.
* Today PS fans in general don't like that PC ports of PS games are coming out. Xbox fans in general are applauding the change.
* MS started with games exclusive or timed to their own launcher. Steam versions arrived later.
* Sony started out with Steam. Their own launcher with exclusives or timed could arrive later.
* MS started out with paid online. It's rumored to be free next.
* Sony started out with free online. It's paid now.
You don't see it? Even if it's wobbly when you look close the circle is full. There are differences but it's mostly comical at this point.
And we haven't seen a new title in the Gran Turismo IP since GT7 to verify the strategies. But we can see that, Spider-Man, Last of Us, Horizon, Uncharted etc are on PC. Pretty sure we can add GT to the list soon, if that is through GT8 or GTSports 2 then so be it, same thing.
They did? Which ones? can you give examples? I can find numerous that were stanning for xbox post 2016 up until xbox practically gave up on consoles recently which quickly changed their tune. Xbox fans were not generally upset. I'm not sure where you're getting that from. Especially when they were still endorsing xbox with ALL of their games coming to PC day one. Now they find it difficult to endorse PS when it's getting all the games + the PS exclusives (timed or otherwise)
There were certainly people who had an xbox to play xbox games before that might have simply moved on but those aren't the specific fans I'm referring to.
Not sure I agree with that some PS fans dislike it but xbox fans are not applauding it. They're trying really hard to use it as console war ammo. Ammo they weren't using against xbox for a literal decade.
Ok? I'm not sure what youre getting at. This doesn't change the point.
and Astrobot? What about that, was that not after spiderman, LOU etc? Yes it was.
I'm not discussing their strategy or what will happen (some PC folks were suggesting the dates will reach day one almost 3 years ago). Demon's souls remake has been waiting how many years? I'm saying the xbox fans shouting out "redundant console" for a console that is getting exclusives even today is stupid when they were hyping up the most redundant console of all not long ago, that console being the xbox series. Xbox has been more redundant for a decade already but they hyped that up until the wheels fell off only recently, then they could no longer pretend so they made "consoles redundant". What kind of stupid logic they're using I will never know.
