Welp, that was the only reason to get XBOX, now I'm convinced I won't buy neither PS5 nor XBOX :)
Seriously, how hard is it to DIY your own console? It's just a PC afterall.

#12Xbox Series X is 5 years old. PlayStation 5 is 5 years old. I’m sure the PlayStation 6 is around the corner. PS5 came out 7 years after PS4 so PS6 should be coming within a couple years. Now that Microsoft has seemingly abandoned exclusives why would anyone grab the next gen Xbox console when it comes out in a couple years? Seems like PlayStation 6 is the only viable option.

Not sure if this is still the case but they used to subsidize the console hardware and recoup the loss on games.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
The Xbox doesn't have VR support so letting the Playstation version have it would be a bit awkward.
> PS VR2 owners will be able to experience the entire game through their headset and Sense controllers with a free update that will be available in 2026 https://www.flightsimulator.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-2...
Awkward for Microsoft then, but welcome!

Not a TV console, but there is a handheld "Xbox" releasing next month.

My guess is they'll continue to improve handheld and TV experiences in Windows and leverage third-parties to make the hardware.

I’m sure there’ll be a PS6, but it honestly seems like non-portable consoles are on their way out. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s no next-gen TV console XBox at all, or if it’s just a MS branded gaming PC.

Just remember there were rumors of Sony also giving up their console all together.
The money is in services and IP, you don’t want to restrict yourself to one piece of hardware.
They need you to grab their next titles more than they need you to grab an Xbox.

#19Does this mean Microsoft has officially given up completely on Xbox?
XBOX has outlived its usefulness now that all the anti-General-Purpose-Computing “““Security””” bullshit has metastasized fully-formed over to regular PCs after incubating for twenty years in console-land. They knew people would protest that stuff if they tried to develop it natively on PC, but nobody bats an eye when they lock down some appliance machine whose exclusive software “needs” to be protected.

If you can afford PC, both in effort, time and money - it is obviously better choice.
Two years ago I saw a cool game, Helldivers 2. It looked like a lot of fun but my old PC was not up to the task. I went to the store, got PS5 and in couple hours I was enjoying the game. It is so much fun, and so little hustle that I honestly can't imagine going back.
