It's true but the problem with that is MS has no games. They are still pumping out Halo and Gears which are so tired at this point. I can't believe they wont give those series a break. Medium was ok. Meanwhile Sony is just continuing to pump out hit after hit. So you have a situation where one company is offering a great deal but very little new games to actually play. Then the other company is offering great games to play but you still have the standard $60 fee. I didn't get into gaming to save money so I still side with Sony on this one. 

I've shifted towards PC mainly anyways at this point and with playnite + controller companion my PC is just like a console. Now that Sony is starting to move their games to PC and Japanese companies are moving to Steam this will most likely be my last Sony console.

That might have been true in the latter half of this past generation, but that is certainly not true now. MS now has 23 first party studios after the Zenimax acquisition, just in the first 3 years of this generation (2021-2023) Xbox is likely to release the following AA/AAA games from 1st party studios, all of which will be day one Gamepass:

  • Halo Infinite
  • Starfield
  • Wolfenstein 3
  • Everwild
  • Avowed
  • Forza Horizon 5
  • Forza Motorsport (reboot)
  • Fable (reboot)
  • Perfect Dark (reboot)
  • State of Decay 3
  • Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga
  • Project Mara
  • Arkane Austin new IP from Harvey Smith 
  • Compulsion Games new IP

And that is on top of insiders recently suggesting that MS has several high profile (AAA or large AA) 2nd party games coming through Xbox Global Publishing, including the rumored Kojima project. Plus many 3rd party timed or full exclusives, some of which were already announced (Second Extinction, The Gunk, Hello Neighbor 2, STALKER 2, Warhammer 40K: Darktide, etc.).

Idk where you have the energy to reply xD Some people are forever stuck in 2015 lol Haven't had a mainline Halo game in 6 years and they still get accused of milking it. sheesh. So many new IPs (and old revivals) coming, it's going to be an exciting generation. I do feel for all the Playstation fans not liking the current direction, I was in the same spot last gen with Xbox. I really thought I was going to leave the platform for good but Phil really turned it around.
