Xbox One; was it a successful console?

It's more like how GP is so important and crucial, so much so that by having just GP, it supposedly gives you the "full XB experience" even though you don't have to have the XB console.

Yet imagine if when you buy the console, even the most powerful monster, but you don't automatically get GP with it. You're only getting a fraction of the full experience for top dollar on the top model. You have to pay an extra fee to use its features for those GP games. That's what MS is doing.

You are comparing optional features to standard features. Buying Extras is one thing, buying the use of features you already own is another thing.

If you want a Sunroof with your car, than you have to buy it. If you want to use your Air Conditioner that comes with the car, you shouldn't have to pay a fee to use it.

Tesla and the way of the future disagree. Don't want to be left in the past right? Some extra's come as standard depending on the company as well.

If you buy the XB Elite Controller, and find it's not worth it, you've lost over $100. If you bought the XB1 and didn't find Kinect of use, you lost $100.

If you buy the PS5, and you choose to pay the extra $10 for DS features in a game, if you find its not worth it, you've only lost $10.

What's worse, losing $10 or losing $100? What's more consumer friendly of the two?

If you're a console gamer, GP requires an XB, which doesn't automatically come with XB. It's extra software for the full experience.

If you're a console gamer, DS capabilities require a PS5, which doesn't automatically come with PS5. It's extra software for the full experience.

Extra software is extra software even though you require the hardware to run it.
