That's my point. A console priced PC will not last you a full generation, while a console will, if you want something that will last a full gen you will need to pay about $250 more than you would spend on a console. On Xbox I have access to both Gamepass and Gamefly/Redbox, so I can play the latest 1st party exclusives day one on Gamepass plus older 3rd parties, and the latest 3rd parties by renting them with Gamefly or Redbox, without needing to spend $60 per game. |
I couldn't agree more on the price argument in your first sentence. If somebody wants something that will last them a generation for $500 or less they should get a console.
If PS5 had a Gamepass-like service I would agree with you one this one. But IMO Xbox's library is horribly limited. My PS4 collection is 60 games strong. If I were to take out all the games not available on Xbox, and add every good XB1 game that isn't playable on PS4 I would only have 38 physical Xbox games. Meanwhile I have 38 physical Switch games. Switch isn't even three years old yet, so for me Xbox just looks bad when comparing my potential Xbox collection with my actual Switch collection.
