You're complaining that they aren't abandoning core gamers this gen. Right in the same thread where you're complaining about what they did last gen, which was abandon core gamers. Textbook damned if you do and damned if you don't.

And hey, another goal post shift. I think we all know software tailored to certain devices works better than something scalable and designed for many devices. See: iOS vs Android. But that is completely irrelevant to this thread and the argument you've lost thus far in it. No one is saying a game built from the ground up for XSX can't be more advanced than a game built for cross gen. We're simply saying it's not a big deal and won't make a big difference to launch window titles, and we have history and logic backing us up. Remember, as much as you try to stretch the window out to two to three to five years, they've only said that at max, one year of XSX first party content would be cross gen.

And how in the world would GamePass get in the way of giving Xbox owners want they want lol. Literally all it gives gamers is games. What nonsense.

The whole 1 or 2 years isn't set in stone man. Just think about it. If MS's goal is to reach as many gamers as possible on GP, do you think they will target 5% of the pc gamers that currently have something like a RTX2080? Of course not, they will target the mainstream gaming pc's, which is currently a GTX1060. The 1 or 2 years will probably depends on how fast pc gamers will upgrade. That could be 1 year, but could also be 3 years if pc gamers don't feel the need to upgrade at all. 

And again, we don't know what Sony will launch with and how their early games will push the hardware. We only know that their games will be designed with the ps5 as the base platform.

See this you shouldn’t assume. Pc gamers would lose it if MS made underpowered games for their rigs. You seem to have a genuine problem accepting how MS can scale their games down. 

Well again I know Ms giving us their best because they hungry. And Sony expected their fans to get excited over a font and logo. That’s enough to tell me who’s trying harder this upcoming gen.
