What are good arguments for an Xbox Series X?
Mimimimi498 actually said everything in short.
For me, features such as cross-save, cross-play and cross-progression are still very important, so above all that I e.g. The games that I play on the PC can easily be continued on the XBox.
And of course that I can continue to use my entire game library and in most cases even with better graphics and performance.
And don't forget that MS is currently massively upgrading the development studios. With the takeover of Zenimax / Bethesda, their development studios rose from 15 to 23 in one fell swoop and supposedly something big is to be announced (rumors so far have been about Sega or Ubisoft, for example).
Then MS also made a deal with EA, so that the games from EA Play will also end up in the Gamepass in the future.
Otherwise, of course, things like the great servers or the XCloud streaming service. So a lot of nice arguments.
The price. That is also the only advantage over the competition.
Why do you need an xbox with a pc?
PS I could understand because of the games, but you already have xbox games on pc
So then rather price performance!
No, just the price. There's better value for money. Price-performance ratio is very bad. Especially in the longer term.
The combination of PC and Xbox is great. In my circle of friends there are seven long-time PC-only players who are now buying an XBox to expand the PC into the living room.
Ok, I can tell you how I do it and why.
I currently have a powerful gaming PC (RTX 2080Ti, Ryzen 9 3950x, 32Gb Ram, SSD's etc.), an XBox One and a PS4 Pro.
I will be landing several new generation consoles again, as always. Only the order is really important.
I'll get an Xbox Series X for the living room and a Series S for the office. Since I currently still have a Full HD TV in the living room and no 4K OLED and I won't replace it as long as it is still running so well, I may first buy the Series S and connect it in the living room first, then it moves first old XBox One in the office.
Maybe it will also be the Series X, but only because of the "want to have" feeling, so it can't be explained rationally.
One thing is certain, there will definitely be both!
Why even the XBox first and not the PS5? On the one hand, I'm already using the Gamepass Ultimate on the XBox One and the PC and will continue to use it. Now all the Zenimax / Bethesda and EA games are included, so that's an absolute must for me.
In addition, with the Gamepass I have cross-save, cross-play and cross-progression through the cloud technology from MS. So I can start a game on the PC and simply continue the progress and save status on one of my XBoxes and vice versa.
I also have a large XBox game library outside of the Game Pass, which I can play completely on the new consoles and which pretty much all run better / prettier / faster thanks to the HDR technology.
Then either the new Nintendo Switch Pro would come first (depending on when it appears) or the PS5 All Digital.
The Switch Pro, because I didn't own a Switch or a Wii you and want to catch up on some games.
The PS5 Digital later, because there's simply nothing in the launch titles that interests me. I wait until more interesting exclusive titles come out and / or until the console appears as Slim / Pro (preferably in black), in the best case a little cheaper or with a game in a bundle. The massive size scares me a bit.
Since Sony has already announced that the games will normally cost around 80 euro in the future, it only has advantages if I only join a little later. A few games should have dropped in price by then.
Why the Digital PS5?
1. Because I don't buy discs or BluRays (simply no more space for all the plastic waste on the shelf).
2. A disc drive is also a source of heat in the housing. The less heat that needs to be dissipated, the better.
3. A disc drive also has many moving parts that can wear out and break. I already had that with the PS3. If the XSX existed without a drive, I would rather get this version than the one with a drive.
As far as the game genres are concerned, Sony is currently only ahead in one area: 3rd person singleplayer action adventures, regardless of whether there was shooting / climbing (Uncharted), swinging / knocking (Spider Man), jumping / shooting (Ratchet & Clank) , sneaked / shot / hacked (Horizon), hacked (God of War, Demons Souls, Bloodborne,.) etc.
If you can't do that much with this type of game, then you are definitely wrong with the Playstation when it comes to exclusive games. If you are into it, you are spot on.
