You're like a broken record.Who knows? Who cares?
I'll answer number 2.
The consumer cares(xb history) and chooses PlayStation.
Most if not all of the upcoming Zenimax games will also be on PS.
We won't see Zenimax games only on the XB ecosystem for a long time.
When/if non PS ZM games do come... I don't see them being better than what Sony makes for it's PS consoles anyway, just saying.

You're like a broken record.
That was the whole point of the Series S, I don't think MS counted on Sony getting a $400 true next gen system out the door, that was a much smarter move than a $300 system that's much weaker IMO.It’s really simple, if one brand/ product is widely perceived to be better at same price. Lowering the price of the less popular one is a way to swing consumers.
you can argue exclusives and all, but most of these exclusives will not be out until a while, and the gap would have been widen, and there is no indication MS will have better executives.
True, but they’re also in more markets then the other two and some may say they’re playing the long game...PS brand is more popular than XBOX brand. How is this even subjective.

Millennials Pick PlayStation As Their Favorite Brand, Gen Z Picks Xbox
According to a new survey, millennials have a "connection" to PlayStation while Gen Z feels the same about Xbox. Why the split?www.forbes.com
But how is it that the switch seems to have no issues with supply with multiple sku variants and still outsell these next gen consoles?
Forbes has been suspect as a mofo towards Sony/PS.True, but they’re also in more markets then the other two and some may say they’re playing the long game...

PlayStation has more global appeal than xbox there is no doubt about that, MS can't seem to do much outside of North America and the UK, they've had 3 generations to make strides and last gen they actually went backwards.I am talking about brand popularity. to clarify
Very much like Sega with more money.PlayStation has more global appeal than xbox there is no doubt about that, MS can't seem to do much outside of North America and the UK, they've had 3 generations to make strides and last gen they actually went backwards.
I guess we're just totally ignoring New Zealand now.PlayStation has more global appeal than xbox there is no doubt about that, MS can't seem to do much outside of North America and the UK, they've had 3 generations to make strides and last gen they actually went backwards.
PS5 isn’t good value compared to Xbox Series X, and I’m sick of it
Opinion: Greatness awaits on PS5, for the payerswww.techradar.com
Gamepass is much better than PS+. Not even close.
If Sony develops their own take on GP, that would be fantastic.
For anyone seeking the value proposition, there's Game Pass. That value is going to get more mainstream attention before the year is up. Neither Xbox nor PlayStation will be readily on store shelves until middle of next year. Microsoft has to stock up Series X APUs into their Azure servers in addition to the demand. By then, the Game Pass value proposition will be on a level it's not at today...even with games like Outriders and MLB The Show. There's bigger AAA games coming to the service Day 1. Mainstream stuff. Things that will attract casuals.This was probably the gen to do it. Last gen PS4 started with a bang with being $100 less than the X1 at launch and being more powerful. PS3/360 gen numbers are pretty much equal with PS3 catching up and being very slightly ahead overall in the end. I believe PS3 sold 86-87 million and 360 84-85 million or something like that globally.
If MS did it this gen and went with $399 with the XSX and stating themselves that it is more powerful on paper, they would've gained huge momentum.
Now that they are the same price and multiplatform differences are out and showing the 2 consoles pretty much on par with each other and exchanging virtually equal blows, people will go with the PS5 because they know PS4's track record with exclusives and will just go with familiarity and where the big hits are. Also PC gamers may tend to go for PS5 more because they can play all the MS exclusives on their PC's. There are more than double the amount of PS4's globally compared to the X1 so naturally, friends will go with the console their other friends are on.
Having said this, both are selling out pretty much what they can produce at this moment so will have to wait for when stock is more abundant to make a better gauge.
You still carry a beeper? These analysis and predictions are from another time period. Pack-ins? When there's finally stock, people will be able to walk about of Game Stop with a next gen console and the ability to play Starfield, Halo Infinite, Forza, Wolfenstein 3, EA sports games, etc....with no money down and $25 a month.$450 XSX with a pack in vs a $500 PS5 would of made it closer.
Price drop/s will probably come after the dust settles but it would of been more significant at launch.

Cannot downplay that value to any cost conscious customer. I know I'm in the minority here but I expect the console sales to flip in favor of Xbox worldwide by late 2022 unless Sony aggressively does something different. Consoles are just one leg of the Xbox stool but even with that in mind, the combination of acquisitions, partnerships and Game Pass's increasing value will hit a tipping point. There's crazy s*** in their pipeline.
End of the day I'm not invested in console sales. Doesn't mean what it used to. Arguing about it seems silly. Developers making a game for Series X are at the same time developing a cloud version. There's never been anyone investing in gaming close to the level of Microsoft right now. With the huge variance in spending, shouldn't expect it to stay close in revenue. They will need different levels of return to justify expenses. Microsoft will spend as much over 5 years as what PlayStation is worth overall. The paradigm is changing fast and PC and cloud will both be bigger factors in Xbox's ecosystem than console before the generation is over. Nobody needs to worry about what Microsoft needs to do to be competitive. PlayStation enthusiasts also shouldn't hold onto sales as a justification of their favorite platform or they're going to get tummy aches next year.
