Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Are you impressed with how this has been handled? Or does the sun still shine from Phil's bum cheeks?No, still in International waters, checking gaf here and there.

Maybe the other question is, will you still buy any new games or peripherals on Xbox moving forward, or will you invest in another platform?Nah, that money is gone. I still have all my Xbox One games on it too...most of which I would have to rebuy on PC or Playstation. Selling the box is a dumb move for those who have purchases on it. Plus Gamepass is still a thing.
It's not like the console itself is shutdown. Kind of a dumb question if I'm honest.

Clearly me actively not being there has led to this shit storm.
There are some on Twitter that believe this isn't the end of Xbox and Microsoft will still release a next gen console.

I mean, I already do that on PC. Haven't bought a single game this gen on the Xbox console because I been on PC since 2018. Now granted, when the Series X came out I did buy it, only because I thought there would be games that I would rather play on it rather than on my PC, which at the time I was running a 1070ti and an i5 CPU. However, I got lucky and was able to get a RTX 3080 and a R7 5800x in 2021. After that I never looked back. Everything played better on PC for the most part. In 2023 I ended up getting a 4090 and eventually was able to play a lot of Sony exclusives on PC as well. I double dipped on Spiderman, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Days Gone, TLOU, Death Stranding, Returnal....etc.Maybe the other question is, will you still buy any new games or peripherals on Xbox moving forward, or will you invest in another platform?
Game Pass is unlikely to grow in any meaningful way even if they suddenly had COD, Diablo 4, and a bunch of other ABK games on it.
One other point I’d argue is that it wouldn’t cannibalize just the Xbox side. They’d also be cannibalizing multiplatform sales. If you were to put a game like Diablo 4 up on Game Pass, and I, as a multiplatform gamer, have access to both platforms and subscriptions, I certainly wouldn’t buy the game on PlayStation since I could play it “free” over on Xbox. That is a completely lost sale.
Yeah PC solves a lot of things. So this doesn't really effect you as it might others. Nor me to a degree. Unfortunately I dont want to return to PC, but thankfully I have the PS5 instead.I mean, I already do that on PC.

When the Pro comes out I might consider buying exclusives on Playstation...but honestly that's only if two things occur. First, the Pro has to be much more powerful than the original PS5. Secondly, there would have to be long gaps between some of those exclusive games. Given that all those games are mainly single player experiences, there is less FOMO for to me to have to have them day 1. So I would just wait.
Same goes for 3rd party exclusives. Take Final Fantasy Rebirth. Coming out in Feb. But in the latest trailer it clearly says the game won't be available on other platforms til at least end of May of this year. Can I wait 3 months or so to play it? Of course I can...especially because it will likely be a better experience and it might have the extra content like FFVII: Intergrade did with the Yuffie chapters.
Stellar Blade...coming to PC. Helldivers...on PC. Death Stranding 2...likely to come to PC. I mean...you get my point I think.
I mean, yea then you're set. How I treat PC game purchases is pretty much exactly how you would do if and when Xbox brings their games to Playstation. It would be undoubtedly a huge win for Playstation only players.Yeah PC solves a lot of things. So this doesn't really effect you as it might others. Nor me to a degree.

No I was just being a smart assNot saying Sony won't make games on xbox but "in return"? You seriously think MS would be doing Sony a favour by "allowing them" to release their games on xbox? Sony don't want to release their games on xbox. If they did MS would be there with open arms because it would be MS that benefit not Sony. Sony doesn't really need that small installbase.
I will keep my series X but I’m moving to PlayStation when the PS5 Pro ships.
The Xbox will sell significantly less next generation and even less the generation after that. It’s just a matter of time before Microsoft exits the console market.
