I think it's a good idea for Microsoft to pursue a "most powerful" console angle again. It's the reason I bought into Xbox when they started. Nothing wrong with Sony making a beefier Playstation though, because there will be a market for both.

Was power really the only reason you bought a OG Xbox? Some of the exclusives and console exclusives were among the best games of the 6th gen. Power is a reason some games skipped PS2, but the most appealing thing about OG Xbox wasn't power per se.

I think the more powerful angle is also good for Xbox, given they took a beating for having inferor specs. Now the narative has moved away from power to popularity. But people feeling like the best ports of games are on Xbox is good for them and it will potentially make Xbox the lead development platform again.

 

It really was...  I wasn't a very discerning gamer and I can't say I have gotten much better since then.  But I wanted "the best" and it really lived up to my expectations at the time.  Of course, I didn't game on PC then either so it was the closest approximation.
