I had left the console gaming space in 2016 to build a PC after being disappointed with the Xbox One and wanting something more powerful than a PS4. It was a no expense spared GTX 1080 build that I still use today and it had served me well.
Around late 2020 I was looking to upgrade it and build a new PC, but the parts shortages were starting to get really bad so after reading up on the new consoles I decided to give Xbox another chance and got a launch night Series X from the Microsoft store.
It took about a month to arrive (got it about mid December 2020) and since that point it’s been my primary gaming device, and I am thrilled with it. All of the games look great on a 4k tv and the backwards compatibility features + gamepass have been a game changer. I have tried more games in the past year than I did the previous 7 combined.
