I just think if anyone does buy in now and gets stung like that, they most certainly wont be a happy gamer or likely to support a future system or release. Just my budget gamer logic at play here, might mean far less for others of course buying a replaced model for slightly less. |
Yes, like I said, none of this makes sense. No matter how you look at it you can't find a single sensible reason for this strategy, unless the end goal is to deliberately drive the console market into the ground and to justify moving XB owners over to PC. If you look at it from that angle, it actually makes sense. XB1 games are all going to PC, Live is free on PC, XB1 OS going over to PC, start using the term 'platform', and kill the console.
The PS5 Exists.
