They absolutely have not...but that's intentional. They are selling GamePass not the Series X. They don't care what platform you are playing their games on and they been saying this for nearly 4 years now. There is nothing coming out on Series X that is exclusive and thus there isn't much reason to purchase one. The target audience is the Xbox gamer who doesn't game on PC and prefers console. That audience exists but it's smaller than the typical console gaming audience.
Beside their overall strategy, what they have shown to date does very little to sell us on Series X hardware. I'm still at a loss of words on how bad that presentation was yesterday:
- Halo looked completely last gen and looked worse than Halo 5 (especially on One X). Environment was so flat as in grass, lighting, animations etc. I'm shocked this is the state of the game with 4 months to go before launch
- Forza 7 came out in 2017. So 3 years later all they can show is an in engine teaser with a message indicating the game is early in development? Really? Turn 10 has been pumping out Forza games every other year for many years. Now 3 years later, they cannot show any gameplay? What have they been doing for the past 3 years?
- Generally, it's appalling how little gameplay we got from Xbox Game Studios. We got some gameplay from third parties i.e. Phantasy Star Online, Psychnauts 2, Medium, and few others. Why are MGS so far behind?
- We still haven't directly seen Series X running a game live
- Everything we saw looked like Xbox One caliber games...because they were! And that's the point. Series X will be just the same as playing them with a "high end" PC (i.e. higher resolution, faster loading, faster framerates, more detail images, same game designs!).
So why buy a Series X? To play current gen games at 4K/60 or beyond? Wait isn't that what the One X was already promised to deliver 3 years ago? Can't we already do that on One X or PC?
As a showcase of games coming to Xbox platform (i.e. Gamepass) yesterday was a solid presentation (still needed more gameplay).
But as a demonstration of Series X or what "next gen" gaming will be about, it failed about as hard as it possibly could!
This is the PC model of hardware upgrades in full effect but it kind of goes against what made consoles different in the first place wouldn't you say?
