I actually sold my Series X a few months ago. Simply do not play it compared to my PS5, and any exclusives I just grab on PC

Same here. Won't be trying again. Pretty much done now with Xbox as a brand. Tried three of the last few gens. Always the same result, sold after 6 months. Will keep game pass on pc for the time being but even that is wearing thin.

 

[Panajev2001a]

The new leaked Xbox Series X is technically unimpressive relative to a high-end PC, but it does have double the internal storage, is adorably all digital, and includes a splendid newly designed controller.

But will that be enough to make you take the plunge come holiday 2024?
Or will you simply skip over Microsoft's mid gen refresh?

Cannot wait until Haptics feedback becomes a feature certain fans finally acknowledge .

As long as it's adorably digital with no disc drive, I will adorably not buy it.

 

[deriks]

We don't really know the real shit, so...

Still, I'm fine with my SX

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Remember everyone, it’s adorably all digital…

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Bought a Series X last month with the main purpose of playing disc based BC titles so that's a big nope.

 

[gooner4life_uk]

No, the Series X will be the last Xbox console in my house, my youngest is 6 now, by the time she's 8/9 she will want a playstation instead of an xbox, it happened with my older 2 as well.

 

[CashPrizes]

Hahahahaha........ no.

I have a PC like any sane person of means.

 

[Emedan]

In 3 years I've used my Series X to play Halo and Hogwarts.. There's no games so no

 

[Fart Knight]

Only if 8KRaytracer comes with it

[Borowski_1]

I'll have to buy a Series this year for Hellblade and Indiana Jones

Dont know how i'll do it tho

 

[consoul]

Adorable.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Why would I buy a sinking ship?

 

[Complistic]

No, I won't buy anything without a drive, ever.

 

[thatJohann]

nah I sold my XSX and PS5 already.

My next purchase will be the Super Switch. Only console I care about.

 

[twilo99]

Such device is not under development.

 

[AJUMP23]

Nope. I don't think we need any refreshes this gen.

 

[Arsic]

Buy a pc instead.

There’s legit no reason to own a Xbox. Even the voting poll here is insanely skewed that no one in their right mind would want a Xbox anymore. Phil made sure of that.

Enjoy gamepass on pc with all the same day one titles as the box , but with infinitely better visuals and performance.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Certainly not. Xbox and it’s all digital consoles and ecosystem can piss off as far as I’m concerned. I will not give them another dime of my money and support their vision.

 

[Manuscript Replica]

I won’t be purchasing refreshes from Sony or MSoft. The Series X is still a good system and even though I hate how ridiculous it looks, so is the phat PS5. I’m good with both lasting a while. Playtime has been mixed in both. I finish one game on X and then move to the PS5, and alternate.

Just good ol switch, and that’s mainly for my kid.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Helllll nah.

Edit: way to go demigod , your positive reaction to my post makes me feel oh so dirty.

 

[cireza]

Why would I buy a sinking ship?

Especially when you already have a Rowboatcop. What's the point ?

 

[yurinka]

Same as with any other Xbox console: no.

In the case of a potential PS5 Pro, I won't buy it either. I waited to get a PS5 Slim due to the 1TB SSD, and won't need a Pro because I still don't have a 4K tv.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Just looking at the votes here (I know I know but its GAF) and people wonder why this project may have been scrapped in favor of moving on?

Again, not saying it has happened just saying other options have been deeply explored

 

[Bigfroth]

My Series S serves its purpose well enough. you don't need max performance to replay old Bethesda games lol.

That's mostly true but some are in 4k now

 

[//DEVIL//]

if they ever release this bomba, it will be the death of xbox. unless its:

1- have the ability to buy external disk drive to be connected via USB C port or something
2- much cheaper.


Otherwise. it's going to be the complete death of the console.

Xbox Series X. with its all awesomeness., is struggling as its. making it worse is not helping.

Fuck I have the Halo infinite edition sealed still and I am just tempted to just fuck it and sell it.

Aww, gonna cry?

This thread is from September last year around the time we had the FTC leaks. It's not a trolling thread.

 

[MikeM]

If its digital only i’ll buy the outgoing box. I have too many physical games.

 

[FoxMcChief]

At this point, I don’t think I’m going to buy another dedicated console besides the Switch 2 ever again. Cloud gaming with game pass is enough for me.

 

[Trogdor1123]

No, I built a pc over Christmas that will do just fine.

 

[Isa]

If it was a Pro/X leap then sure probably. Right now based on that leak then no, I want the ability to play discs. Most of my library is digital but I do have a decent library of games for the generations of Xbox but mainly my girl and I use it to watch movies and anime. Actually tempted to get another Series X for backup in case production drops off and prices rise. Next gen? Probably PC and Switcheroo.

I still have not felt compelled to go back to flat gaming after getting my Quest 3. I was lucky enough to receive nearly $550 in store credit through referrals, and have too many games and experiences to get through.

I played Palworld in my Quest 3 (Xbox game pass app), while in passthrough video mode and had the playoffs on tv. It was great. I was able to see and play with the kids too. I rigged a USB cord into my couch so I can sit on my couch, stay plugged in a keep playing.

 

[Methos#1975]

I have no issue with a digital only Xbox but since it offers no advantages over the XSX probably not. Really depends on if it has any benefit at all like maybe the ability to use a OEM SSD

You are misrepresenting the situation. Being plugged in while consuming a seated experience does not dismiss the advantage of untethered roomscale experiences, but you know this.

The battery life is absolutely terrible at 2 hours. Then not surprisingly the exact same person would complain that a certain manufacturers battery life sucks ass because it isn't enough when playing. Sometimes it's best to just apply Occam's razor.

Please, I'm no Nintendo pussy.

 

[danklord]

Yeah when the 5090 comes out I'll upgrade my PC

I am failing to see the application of Occam's Razor. Can you elaborate?

I fear I may be putting words into your mouth, but if we ignore the myriad of additional accessories that extend the headsets battery life (at additional costs), are you suggesting that because the headset cannot go longer than 2 hours (out of the box) that a wired solution is the better approach? Again, please correct me if I am reading you wrong.

 

[TheShocker]

No. Seems like it’s the equivalent to the PS5 slim. Better power consumption and no performance increase. Massive pass unless it ends up being a “pro” model. I’m waiting to see how the new 40x series super cards stack up and am switching to PC by this summer.

Don’t hurt your brain now.

Are you having trouble comprehending? It gets better if you keep at it. Some of the kids I tutor get frustrated when reading above their AR level too, I suggest taking a step back, taking a deep breath, and give it another try

[simpatico]

My 15 y/o son is content with his S.

I suggested an X for Christmas or Bday and he had no interest. I guess Madden, Siege and Fortnite are good enough on the S
