Re: You Can Buy a Fully-Fledged PS5 for the Same Price as a Less Powerful Xbox Series S Right Now

@11001100110zero you're talking to a self-professed luddite, I try to have as little of that intrusive nonsense as possible. Kinect and trying to stop people using second hand copies are what shot themselves in the foot initially with gamepass putting the nail in the coffin imo. They tried to offset the cost of Activision and Bethesda by trying to become Netflix with gamepass and locking people down to a subscription model.

You're right saying most of their damage was self inflicted; when your exclusives only really consist of Halo, Forza and Gears vs what you get on PlayStation (or Nintendo to be fair) then people are only rightly going to switch allegiance unless they're die hard. I have no doubt PSN would still be free if Xbox didn't standardise a charge and in general they've brought about the most anti-consumer practices of the big 3.

Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

I like the openness of PC but the never ending updates and tweaking to get things running properly mean I'll always prefer PlayStation for it's ease of use. I'm too deep into the PS ecosystem to ever jump ship anyway (physical stretching back to PS1, digital to PS3) but if Valve are successful then it'll be interesting to see if Sony continue to give them ports. PlayStation also still support physical media which PC have let die.
