This will likely be what? More hardware talk, maybe Lockhart? Services like online, gamepass, streaming, etc?
You ignoring how stupid a 4TF alternative is the most stupid.A disk less sku will not knock much off the price. Lockhart should be significantly cheaper than any of the other SKUs. So , no, a discless PS5 doesn't make a difference. The fact you ignorre this is hilarious.
Xbox fans will remain Xbox fans. Microsoft won't be bringing over PS fans no matter how many awesome games they announce. PS fans will still say Xbox has no games. And Xbox fans will just keep playing those "no games" and enjoying them.
Didn't the 360 win over fans for being cheaper and coming out a year early? I guess when you look at the Xbox OG being discontinued right away after 24 million and then selling 86 million, I guess some of them were PS fans.There is no reason they can't win over fans like that. They did it with the 360.
Depends what it can do. If it can do everything the XSX and PS5 can do but at 1080P then it is far from stupid. Need to wait to see what it actually is first.You ignoring how stupid a 4TF alternative is the most stupid.
True. But doesn't matter. The real difference is PS announces new IPs often. MS announces them rarely...when was Xboxs last big new IP? Sea of Theives back in 2016?The difference between MS announcing 1st party titles and PS, is that MS usually announces them if they are coming within the year. PS tends to announces titles that will launch anytime.
Well they announced Everwild, one of their new big IPs from RARE, at X019 in November. They need to do better than that though.True. But doesn't matter. The real difference is PS announces new IPs often. MS announces them rarely...when was Xboxs last big new IP? Sea of Theives back in 2016?
I don't think it will do everything the XSX and PS5 will do at the same fidelity/performance @1080p.Depends what it can do. If it can do everything the XSX and PS5 can do but at 1080P then it is far from stupid. Need to wait to see what it actually is first.
Think about it. A console that does everything the PS5 & XSX can do but at 1080P for $300.
I have doubts that it can aswell.I don't think it will do everything the XSX and PS5 will do at the same fidelity/performance @1080p.
We do need to wait cause it could be higher than 4TF,IF MS has any sense it will be.
Xbox has no new IPs is the actual narrative, but typical Xbox retort to twist it around.
Well they announced Everwild, one of their new big IPs from RARE, at X019 in November. They need to do better than that though.
Right, they need new IP like Horizon 2 or Spiderman 2ish or GT Eleventeen to keep up with Sony. /Sarcasm
The problem is the few new IPs they have had haven't been hits. They need more new IP and to leverage more if the IP they have and make them into good games.
If rumours are true then MS is f***ed anyway. The rumours suggest xbox has very few new IPs to show. So expect the same narrative as this gen.
Realistically, only the initiative (rumoured to be doing Perfect Dark), Obsidian (Rumoured to be working on a familar title), and Ninja theory could have something new, but unlikely to come anytime soon.Certainly Xbox have got to bring it with the games this gen no doubt. Personally I want to see new IPs and I do think they’ll come with the number of studios they now have. I can understand them bringing back fable because we never had one this generation and it does have brand recognition and a fresh studio with new ideas and two generations later, who knows what that could be like but apart from that I want new games. I don’t see why the big first party devs such as the coalition and 343 can’t work on other games as well Halo and Gears. Naughty Dog was able to do it with The Last of Us whilst making Uncharted and Playground are apparently doing the same. I’m hoping MS have a couple of surprises up their sleeve and I honestly think they recognise what they have to do and are intent on doing it. With Gamepass the strategy going forward, they know it’s content that counts.
No they don't. They need new stuff.Nah. They just need great games. If Halo is back from mediocrity while Fable, Perfect Dark and Pillars of Eternity re-imaginings look great, won't matter that those aren't "new IPs".
The IPs that will have driven the most mindshare for Sony this gen were God of War, Uncharted, Spider-man and soon...Last of Us 2.

There not new. How are old games new.They would be new. This is bad narrative.
Bringing back older IPs is fine, but they need to address the issue that has plagued the platform for the last decade first.I kinda agree with both of you. Bringing back established IPs will be like comfort food for the faithful while new IPs will bring a new base in and help to dispel the narrative that all Xbox has is Halo, Gears and Forza.
But in both your cases the games have to be well crafted quality. No more unpolished, unfinished, unfocused games.

This is a really s***ty narrative that only recently started by trolls and system warriors due to rumors. Previous narrative was that Microsoft never stuck with IP to make it better the way Naughty Dog was able to with Uncharted 1 to 2.
This why they should make Aaron Greenberg shut the f*** up.
Ryse
Sunset Overdrive
Quantum Break
Recore
Ori
Great games with a lot of potential.
Only one of those got a sequel..and what a sequel it is. Xbox abandons new IP's way too soon and often. They're looking for hits, but for some franchises the second game could be that home run.
They fked up not making sequels to Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and Alan Wake this generation. Those could've been staple franchises for Xbox next to Halo, Forza and Gears.
