You need to stop smoking those funny leaves that grow in your grandma’s garden.
That's right regular people don't think about inflation but when statements are made like $599 is too expensive for an XSX, I need to educate why it is a higher cost.
Will depend on messaging. You can bet that Microsoft is going to be pimping gamepass like nuts, likely 3 months included for free with console purchase which should ease the price shock if they message it properly.
Is it? Times have changed. Who says it is? So we should have something not much better than current gen just so we can make it accessible to everyone. It's statements like that which hold back the evolution of gaming. When flagship mobile phones went up in price because people wanted faster processors and better cameras, did they fail because we said they were too expensive for your average phone user. Get with the times buddy! If its too expensive, plenty of fun to be had with a current gen console. Gaming on a next gen console is not a right, it's a privilege. You sound ridiculous!
How are you a gold member and manage to write a post such as this? What's the prerequisite to become a gold member anyway? Wow.
Well they could do $599 and include a couple of years of GamePass Ultimate or something. I still think they will try and push hard for $499 though.
Ahhh well thank you for that info.4.99/month or 49.99/year or have it gifted to you by another member.

Er Halo Infinite will probably be on Gamepass, same with some of the other launch games, that was my point. The console seems expensive at $599, but you get Gamepass so already have tons of games for free.
Yeah well I am one of the anti gamepass gamers.
WTF. What a time to be alive.
I don't support those services as I can see the grass from the treeslol anti gamepass gamer
so ne fair though, are you also an anti psnow gamer? What did you say when ps now launched? You DO know that Sony did it first, right? It was Sony’s idea in the first place, you know that, right? Right?
Didn't even consider the optics and possible foreshadowing of this. Nice catch.
In regards the power metrics, Pro and X have a gulf of 1.8. Say for example that stays the same for PS5 and XSX, would be 10.38 TF - 12.18 (I'm assuming XSX is at the absolute bottom of the sweetspot range). But this'd either also hint PS5 with a 48CU chip (1690MHz) or the clocks pushed even higher than 2GHz on a 40CU chip(2028MHz)
With them being RDNA2 tho, it's possible the sweetspot range's moved up by, say, 50MHz. If both systems are RDNA2 that would be 10.69TF (PS5; 48CU chip) - 12.5TF (XSX).
...assuming that isn't reading too much into the pricing move coupled with today's news, which I very much likely am hence marking this shit as spoilers xD
And now that seals the deal. 12 TF RDNA2. Not "of" RDNA2 on RDNA1 like some thought (though it was fair to still think that imho).
12 TF RDNA2. Good Lord. That actually also leaves more room on the die for whatever RT solution, 3D audio etc. etc. is present, too, I would assume. They've done an excellent job this go-round. Got me hoping for some PS5 news from Sony within the week
Taking a loss on a console is nothing new. Capturing a user that spends within the eco system over a lifetime is the goal.
True but the OneX was advertized as a premium console, for the hardcore. Even Phil said that numerous times. It wasn't made for the mass market, while SeriesX is.
100+ via a rental service? Uh no
Could you go into more detail on why you think that?, i'm honestly interested. I havent seen a bad word said against Gamepass, by the people that actually have it, which is millions.
I think this is premium, Lockhart will launch along side 349, 399, mass appeal.
I thought Phil already said there will only be one console 'at launch'?
