IT might be time for me to bow out of this thread. All it is now is a bunch of console war nonsense and it seems this presentation was just the ammo people are using even though the 'battle' hasn't been fought yet.

Honestly, the last 25 years of Sony has given me faith in their products - almost as much as the last 35 years of Nintendo - while Xbox's 19 years has never done anything for me despite owning all three Xbox consoles. It's just not for me, and while I'm open to giving Xbox a Chance, their marginally better system specs don't mean shit to me. I have never cared about graphics or performance and have always been of the opinion that Gameplay rules over performance/graphics, so while the Ps4 had marginally better specs in 2013 than its competition, I never noticed a difference and didn't care.

Today, my Switch gets the most love. I play more SNES games on my phone than I play new games from the current gen. Some of my favourite games from the past decade are pixel-art indies.

What I'm trying to get across here is that, in regards to this topic, I don't really feel I have anything to say and it baffles me that people care so much about a couple extra teraflops. All I know is that I can't play Bloodborne or God of War or Horizon: Zero Dawn on the Xbox Series X but I likely can on PS5. all I know is that the franchises I love the most will be on PS5 and Switch, and that's what matters to me. If any games come out on Xbox Series X that I care about, I'll happily pick one up. As of right now I have no interest whatsoever in getting one. I bought the Xbox One right when the Master Chief Collection edition came out, and I've literally spent more time updating the firmward on it than playing games on it becuase it only has like three games I care about. The entire second half of the Xbox 360's life was barren and desolate, the Xbox One's entire lifetime was barren and desolate aside from a few small gems, and outside of Senua's Sacrifice 2, there's nothing in the Xbox's future that interests me. I don't care about Forza, I never really liked Halo despite making an effort to get into the series since 2001, and while I like Gears of War, it's not enough.

I like talking about games. I don't like talking about specs. I'll go back to those threads. I have nothing more of value to say here.

Id rather you respond to me then take a false moral high road (I mean cmon we talking video games here). You missed my entire point. This thread isn’t about games, this is about hardware. We know games define the system. And to me, how the upstart Xbox brand having a win for the first time in literally years.

You ranting how Xbox’s games don’t appeal to you...just a tip  if you want to hide the amount of salt in your words dont go on a rant like that. 

You like games I like games...that isn’t what the thread is about. Your deflection and telling your fellow fans to “fall in line” speaks volumes. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Lack of full backwards compatibility with past consoles is bullshit. There's no excuse for Sony not to be able to when Microsoft is able to not only offer Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One day and date WITH IMPROVEMENTS none the less on Series X. And don't give me any of that "But the PS3's cell processor!", Sony has nobody but themselves to blame for choosing to use that back then, tough shit if it's more work it's still up to them. 

Sony's whole attitude of thinking that BC isn't important and nobody cares just annoys me, especially after Jim Ryan's comments on it a few years ago.

Full BC would have made me purchase a PS5 on that alone.

Never quite understood this level of thought.

The wii U had full BC. Even with wii games.

The XB1 has no BC with Kinect games. Or any games it didn't get permission from the publisher. And I doubt the X series has BC with X1 kinect games either.

The PS4 didn't have any BC - and absolutely dominated. The switch has no BC - and is absolutely dominating.

This just feels like fake rage, or rather undeserved rage built from people thinking "yeah we are getting XYZABCDEF" etc.

Plus it is 2020 and you care more about.. playing old games - like PS3 and old - than new ones?

Just DEjavu all over again with the ps4.

maybe People want to sell their PS4 so they can afford the PS5?

In that case, Xbox won the design choices imo.
If their priced the same, and the xbox series x is like 15% faster, that means they spent their budget better.

Price isn't a design decision.  

If they're priced the same, it would probably mean the PS5 makes more money.  

Making more money is the last thing MS want from their Xbox Division. They want more people subscribe to Gamepass and buying their consoles.

I loved the show and learnt a lot, paid a lot of attention. But certainly I can understand that it could have been 15 min and more streamlined to customers, but that will be made on another event.

Just a small correction, MS had some features backed into the X1 that made their BC possible, it was on their plan since they designed the console.

Do you remember where you read that? Because in an interview I remember he said he was surprised when they figured it out, which happened years later.
Not the same interview, but here's him saying "While we weren't sure it was possible..." https://youtu.be/HDhh8jy1YQI?t=27

In that same interview I recall that some engineer/s asked him if they could work on this BC project, and he said ok. So that sounds like it wasn't planned from the start.

“We had to bake some of the backwards compatibility support into the [Xbox One] silicon.” Considering the first back-compat 360 games didn’t hit Xbox One until 2015, that’s mightily impressive foresight. 

https://www.gamesradar.com/how-xbox-one-x-emulation-technology-is-helping-to-resurrect-the-last-two-generations-of-xbox-classics-in-4k/

Perhaps he was surprised at how well they made it or perhaps there is some misleading between the baked in being specifically for BC or something they were able to make use. (Like when I said the 3D audio chip in PS5 working like SPE then perhaps it could be used to BS PS3).

The shows was meant for Developer, that's why it was hinted that it 's a pre recorded show from the canceled  GDC . I am sure we will have PS5 game presentation and other features (they still not yet demoing the controller)

That is pretty much confirmed when they said they wouldn't be on E3 but would reveal PS5 in several events.

I think games will be revealed after GoT launches so no one will be able to say there are games looking much better coming soon to take any sales away.

Honestly we have been thinking that Sony would do PS5 patches for certain games much like how PS4 Pro got patches for PS4 games to enhance their ability.

We will probably still be seeing that for games, which would lighten the load for PS4 BC compatibility.

They talked about having a boost for PS4 and Pro games(not sure why they would need to bake Pro in the silicon, I think he was just making more bullets for marketing) so we have to wait and see it that will be something like XSX that seems like automatic for all BC titles or if they need to give some tweaks.
