I can see this happening:

Soccer mom goes to a store to buy a console to little Johnny:

SM: 'Please, I want an Xbox'.

Salesman: 'Yes, madam, we have these three models, Xbox One S, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X'.

SM: 'I'm so confused, what's the difference?'.

Salesman: 'One will run games better than the other'.

SM: 'Ok, besides that, which one has more games?'.

Salesman: 'Oh, they all have the same games'.

SM: 'Hmm, ok, then just give me the cheaper one'.
That's so 90s and 2000s
These days a soccer mom opens Amazon, search xbox, get confused, get a headache, close amazon, take iboprofen, go sleep.

TBH, even Microsoft's PR guy confuses between oneX and XsX in his tweets.
 
OK we aren't pretending that.

It sucks when MS does it, it sucks when Sony does it.. it particularly sucks when they pit against each other and play tit for tat paying for content to be removed from each other's systems... which is looking like what is going to happen this gen with the news that Sony went on a buying spree (surely MS will combat that with their own.)

Now explain why yourself and most of this forum for some reason defend this like it doesn't suck? lol
This practice is good for us. Let them compete. Both companies need to be in survival mode. Current gen was good but it was the least exciting due to lack of competition.

If casuals didn't care about 4k, then they don't care about 1080p, 900p, 720p, whatever. If X1 will go as low as $99, then they will stay where they are if they already have one, and new budget customers will grab the $99 dollar machine instead of the $249 one. Remember, same games.

Marketing will have one hell of a job on 'the hot new thing' to make people forget about price and that they all run the same games.
casuals don't care about specs and still upgrade. Welcome to American grade capitalism. We've all seen lines of people standing outside of the Apple store to pay $1000 for an upgrade and not understand what a megapixel is. People do not care. We care, era cares our core gaming community care, but sales are from everyone.

The reason why the PS2 sold so damn well into it's next gen predecessor's "time to shine" was because of the price gap. Nothing between $600 and the current gen at $150.
hell that price gap helped sell more Wii's. People wanted next gen but didn't care about specs

I liked this... did we just see some zelda botw kind of clone with some sort of multiplayer (mmo?) vibes?
That Aeon must die was about the most metal game I've seen in a long time 🤘
Godfall is looking pretty sweet, they had me at coop with 2 other playerd, wonder what the endgame looks like.
Hood... mhmmmm looked very interesting too, need to learn more about it.
Oh and wow... all 3 Hitman games in VR :O I want!

I have really high hopes for Genshin Impact.
I love Honkai Impact 3rd for mobile devices and I am really hyped to see, what they will accomplish on a console.

Michael Huber "They ended it on a soggy-taco"

Started off strong, Crash looked good, the game from Giant Squid should be good off back of Abzu. Not really interested in the rest. GodFall is proof, no matter how much money Sony throw at the marketing or put it at the center of attention, if the core game from aesthetics/combat doesn't hook the players, then it won't matter. Being a launch title, it should make enough money but god damn if it doesn't look uninspired. I was half-tempted when they were mimicking God of War combat with shield and blades, but everything looked so stiff.

A pretty decent showing,

Pathless is beautiful, not my type of game but very pretty.
Godfall looks better every time I see it, saying that the only issue i had was the A.i it looked a bit dopey. full game, no microtransaction shit is a big plus.

Bugsnax looks like something my niece would drool all over, please don't make me play it with you FFS.

good ps4 support all over the place.

Post edit.

giving it 7.1 cos I wanna be higher than HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4

Niiiice Auto Chess for PS4!

Also I doubt anyone cares (because it looks very toonish), but Temtem is pretty huge. If its platform exclusive than damn...

VR Hitman 3 :0...

Edit: Was fetching food, during Hood. Seems like an interesting game. Could be cool. But no gameplay.

I thought it was boring. But I didn't come away thinking what the hell am I looking at, so that's a pretty big win compared to Craig.

I got so much GOW vibes from Godfall. I mean lots of animations looked like they are ripped from the GOW entirely: shield, swords+chains, throwing stuff (shield instead of axe).
 
The state of play was okay just that.

Aeon Must Die: looks incredible good but looks the polemic will be involved on this game :lollipop_weary:
Godfall: looks fun to play but for the love of tsushima fix those leaf/bushes/trees looks horrible
Braid anniversary: every person who love indies in some way love this game also
The Pathless: I need this game :lollipop_smiling_hearts:
Hood: I want to see more gameplay before say something
Bugsnax: is the graphic cap of the next generation and you know it :goog_sneaky:

Btw is weird don't see any of Call of duty in this month of the year
