What, THE FUCK, is Sony doing?
Evaluating our emails most probably


Same as Series X but just lower resolution.

To be honest, as a cheap gamepass console this makes a lot of sense and if it lands at $299 it will be very tempting to get one. And this coming from a Playstation fan.

There are some games on Xbox i want to play like Forza, that 'honey i shrunk the kids' game and others. Fuck Halo though.
This one will also be sold in combination with gamepass on a ~2-year plan, maybe ~$20-25/month

So, Sony is making routers and Microsoft is making smart/bluetooth speakers....
Now we just need something to justify the prices (when we get them)

I suspect Microsoft might have had plans to release the teaser video if Sony was to announce pricing and that on the 9th hoping Sony would say a $499-599 price for the 2 models and MS were wanting to sweep in with the $299 Series S

Absolutely, this is a genius move by MS (if $299).

Holy shit it's pretty small. Also where is all this leaking from???


I liked the literal box design of the XSX, it's simple but it looks elegant. I liked the futuristic looking design of the PS5, I would like it in black but it's not a big deal, but I just don't like this one:/

Hope so, maybe this is finally next-gen kicking off. I’m surprised this is how we saw the XSS for the first time
Yeah it is strange that the news is coming from 3rd parties and not Microsoft themselves, this would defiantly not have been the case with Sony. It's interesting that there was no design leak for the PS5, no one had a clue but i digress.

Tbh next-gen should have kicked off a while back now. This is so dam late. But hopefully we'll have the consoles in our hands within the next 60-90 days!
 
Yeah I think it was probably March? where I shared behind the scene with Mod of War Mod of War that $300 price

Correct April 26.

Lockhart $300

Book. It.

I don't know if the Xbox Series S Price will help us determine the XSX price. I don't think the XSX will be 100$ more expensive so a 399$ price point is probably off the table. Now that leaves either 599$ or 499$.

why would anybody buy this pile of shit then? And how is my post trying to make bad news out of this? are you projecting something?
ask your wife and your mom if they know what tflops are.

99% of the gamers wouldnt be able to tell you what tflops are, and you are expecting christmas shoppers to know why this is a piece of shit console?

this will sell when there are no ps5s on the shelves and trust me sony can ship all the consoles they want, they will be sold out. this will sell to soccer moms and grandparents. this will definitely sell in the u.s where kids like xbox way more than the switch.

the real questino is what happens after christmas. i dont think this sells after the holidays.
 
Yup, the day before the Road to PS5 was announced MS released the specs and the hands on videos from Austin Evans and DF.

Hopefully this is a controlled leak because Sony is about to drop something really soon. Plus they needed to get people to talk about Xbox again after all the teasing that Sony has been doing.

My feeling is Microsoft only knew about the Road to PS5 talk because of Digital Foundry

you are underestimating children. when I was a kid I told my parents what I want. And it definitely wasn't some Sega Saturn, Dreamcast or whatever all the other consoles were named. It was either NINTENDO or PLAYSTATION. And if parents buy their kids expensive christmas presents they will make sure if they are buying the thing that their children want. We are not in the 90's or early 2000's

And if it is sold out the fathers have to do the Arnie

Not sure if I like the design but $299 is good value for sure.

Can’t help but think this is a controlled leak from MS to try to get a reaction out of Sony.
I don't think Sony responds. Also I think 299.99 is flexible to 249.99 if the PS5 DE is 399.99.
