Can I just ask Fredrik - IIRC you've got a monster PC, so what is the pull of the X1X?
It can't be multiplats because PC will have the best versions, Play Anywhere means you'll get most of the Xbox exclusives anyway. MP stuff like Gears & Halo are I assume x-play across XboxFam & PC...so is it just techno-lust?
New toys is definitely fun
But I'm a console gamer at heart, I switched to PC 4 years ago, so I still need the consoles for the comfy couch gaming I'm so used to. And I have the PC too far away for a smooth comfy couch experience through the PC, I use Steam Link sometimes but I'd rather play natively if I can.
Definitive versions for couch gaming is definitely a draw for me. That's why I went with PS4 as the main console until XB1X. It's nice to know you can't get the games you love in a better state.
Then I want 4K. I have a triple screen setup for the PC so 4K is simply out of reach for me. XB1X would give me 4K both for games and movies.
Play Anywhere is actually awesome for me since I can choose where to play the game and the save file is there no matter if I sit in the living room or at the PC desk. I can do that already but XB1X will make the power gap less noticeable.
It's really just perfectly timed. 4K upgrade for the living room. Still not able to get 4K on the PC. And I want something new.
