I’ll credit Chuck for sticking to his guns here, he’s explained why he’s absent from the game on Inside the NBA for the last few years.

Game in different rooms. I have Steam Link on my shield, but the option to not tie up the computer with games for the house is nice depending on the time of day.

You only need it if you want to play Sony exclusives. I want to play Xbox and Sony exclusives so I’m buying both. Also have a Switch for the same reason—Nintendo exclusives.

Alternate option: you buy a PS5 and don’t buy an Xbox that’s useless.

You got any more of them free vouchers?

What I hope to see:

See above, but you forget that Microsoft had over 80% marketshare (iPhone marketshare vs other smartphones is between 17 and 20%) when that bundling of IE bit took place. They no longer have that massive marketshare, and now they cleary DO BUNDLE MICROSOFT EDGE, and only their browser on Windows again.

Yes it is--under 20% for smartphones that is. Which means that 80% of all phones will let you stream whatever video games you want, that you probably already can get on about 10 other platforms as well.

You realize MS’s marketshare was close to 80% right?

That’s the correct response brah. I have an iPhone because I like it far far better than Android devices.

Cool with me. I’ll stick to Android. 

This is kinda annoying for sure. But that’s all it is. Apple wants to protect and control a platform that they 100% own. If they do it in a way that makes it hard to play video games—tough titties.

Not a chance in heck. Microsoft is selling their games pass machine at a SUBSTANTIAL loss. Sony can’t compete in pricing without bankrupting themselves

I agree, which is why I never said anything. A commenter decided to give me a lesson on how to write the $ sign where one wasn’t warranted, so I gave him some information that he may have been ignorant about.

That’s definitely what I’m thinking too. The Xbone got off to a super rocky start with it being 100 bucks more expensive. Sony does not want a repeat of the PS3/360 situation, and eating some of the hardware cost early on is probably something that would pay off in the long run.

That’s an expensive ass disc drive

Where I am from it is written after.  You say it like it reads. 499 Dollars.

I don’t think Sony is all that concerned with one-upsmanship here. They may well announce a $449 PS5, but if they do, it would almost certainly not have anything to do with Microsoft. I don’t think they want to compete directly with the Series S at all, either.

“Reports indicate it’s a 4-teraflop machine that uses the same CPU as in Series X, paired with a less powerful GPU and less RAM. It’s said to be designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming, whereas Series X can deliver 4K.”

Consoles in a variety of flavors with different performance specs, because why should PC gamers have a monopoly on gaming potatoes?
