I think most in this thread are missing the point. Microsoft's goal is to render the console simply one more physical option for consuming a broadly available basket of games.

There are all sorts of reasons why they are going to struggle to do this. But if they succeed, the real question to be asking is going to be:

Who needs a PS4/5?

And I think you missed the question: Is there any reason to buy an Xbox?

Between Steam Machines and "PC Consoles" like the Standard Alienware Alpha, there's not much reason to have an Xbox. That is the question. Instead, we find a mod in here attempting to derail that.

There is no need to be snarky.

Many people in this thread have raised all conceivable valid reasons someone would still want an Xbox One, there was little point in my repeating them.

The very first comment that the OP makes is that Xbox is now a service. Before making the (in my opinion mistaken) assertion that this has devalued the brand. I was attempting to illustrate what Microsoft is intending to achieve, and the impact their success would have on the console landscape.
