Xbox will win this holiday for a number of reasons. MS buying Bethesda has shown a lot of people that they are in this for the long haul, that they are committed to GAMING first. More rumors are floating around of MS investing and buying even more studios. All those games from bethesda again... DAY ONE on game pass as well as their other first party titles. They have a decent amount of console launch exclusives too, pretty much equal to what PS5 has going on for this Holiday. A lot of those games are also coming to PS4. Backwards comp is also going to be a huge deal. All my friends who I talk to all say they are really excited for the Series X too and that they can go back and play older games. Did you see the new news coming out about how Xbox is getting all these boosted BC games, double the frame rate as well. Game pass is the biggest thing I feel you are overlooking. I know a huge PS fan who is now switching to Xbox just because of game pass, you see it all over the web about people changing consoles from PS to xbox BECAUSE of game pass; reddit youtube, you name it. It really is the greatest deal in gaming. Actually game pass ultimate is even better. And again, with MS buying more and investing more into first party, putting those games on game pass DAY ONE is a HUGE deal going forward. Let's not forget the 70 price tags that are going to be a norm, another HUGE plus for MS. It makes PS not look so good when you compare 70 games to MS' much cheaper alternative. Plus this year alone has been very good for MS first party. Probably their highest meta overall and it will only get better. Having Halo being delayed has shown us that MS is willing to delays games for the sake of quality. Also Sony's messaging this gen so far has been very sketchy. Lying about generations, and having a ton of their games on PS4 as well. For example the conference where they showed Demon Souls. It said that Demon souls is coming to PC, but then afterwards, they back tracked and said it was PS5 only... Now who is going to believe that. If God of War comes out next year I can see that being another cross gen game. If Horizon is cross gen why not God of War. Hell what about Ratchet and Clank? I'm just waiting for that to be announced for PS4 too. It truly feels like 2013, BUT the roles have been completely reversed. Plus how fast Xbox has sold out, as well as the rumors of PS having supply issues. Another big thing is Xbox Series S being at 299, which will be a huge game changer come this Holiday season. Having the most powerful console, as well as the most affordable? HUGE!! Coupled with the positive press MS has been getting, for being honest and open about cross gen, the best deal in gaming with game pass, investing 7.5 billion in Bethesda, as well as rumored to buy more. Xbox is set to succeed, Phil has brought Xbox to new heights. MS I can see is definitely winning back US overall as well. But in terms of holiday? Xbox will outsell PS and overall, be the best selling as well.
