i think it does now.
I think the child settings on xbox would be really useful on something as 'dodgy' (personal opinion) as roblox.
Yeah. The way ARM development is going, a 2024 ARM chipset for the Switch 2 would be more powerful than the PS4 in the GPU department and definitely laptop class for the CPU.
If they do the sensible thing and stick with NVIDiA, they’re probably looking at an SOC that’s Ray tracing capable and with tensor cores for DLSS. Couple that with decent RAM and you could conceivably see them getting lots of next gen ports.

Yeah, there is absolutely no denying that in the current climate…the series S was an absolutely genius move by ms. Excellent forward thinking, but also and absolutely huge fluke that the world has gone to shit with production And allowing them to capitalise on it.

Looks like Microsoft is doing a good job with the production of at the very least the Series S's and it's helping their numbers overall.

I was a pc gamer up until ps4, when I went fully console gaming. Got a job on IT and sit at a computer all day for work, I cant do it at home anymore. I know it's technically the same thing, sitting in front of a TV and all. But something about consoles are different, I just chill on the couch. I'm basically playing the same games, bit not being on pc helps me disconnect. I know pc gaming is the best place best place play, I just can't.

The goalposts obviously. Haha. This thread is pure gold.And I see tears and salt from some people who previously couldn't wait to celebrate UK sales threads every week. I wonder what changed

Probably because they decided to ship a lot of those units to Japan.
Xbox will likely beat the PS5 in the US too. When is NPD for December coming out?

You can’t really believe this right? You think they’re playing nothing ? Obviously with gamepass and digital with quick resume that’s how most people go.

Or could be the scalpers, they have no interest in getting the games.
But yeah, I can imagine many people who go for XSS got it solely for GP, a the most obvious budget combo. And with Play Anywhere thing, getting MS games in physical form makes little to no sense, why would anyone prefer to buy a game for just one console when for the same money you can buy the game for XB1, XSX/S, PC, and any future console MS releases?

Right because producing ps4 should be just as hard as producing a ps5? Ps4 should be readily avail just like series s and switch are.

It was a joke post, because some people have been saying how Xbox was failing in UK because of the lower UK retail sales numbers for games lol... UK retail sales are mostly irrelevant. Consoles sales are more interesting, you can't buy your console digitally yet. But anyway, we had the 12 millions worldwide figure recently, making this uninteresting overall.

If people aren't interested in sales threads don't enter them. No reason to complain.
