@lamprey263: Xbox Play Anywhere is definitely a great, consumer-friendly feature.. cross-buy and cross-progression; i hope it becomes the industry wide standard at some point..

yeah, i'd imagine it's on the way.. it took awhile for some Bethesda games to get in the program after the aquisition..

ultimately, your point stands as stated..

^ this..

gotcha.. that said, if Xbox releases a new next-gen console will you admit you have been wrong this entire time and that Xbox is remaining in the hardware business?..

also if Game Pass is still around next-gen, will you also admit you have been wrong about that as well?..

agreed..

heck, according to the chart, the PS5 is outpacing the PS4 despite only a fraction of the 1st party output.. the brand sells itself at this point..

"b bu but Xbox"..

interestingly, the GameCube and the Wii U had more million seller 1st party games than the PS4 yet both are seen as failures while the PS4 ended the console war due to its wild success..

goes to show how important 3rd party support is..

that said, Nintendo has clearly been on fire with Switch 1st party releases..

you literally used the words "lems" and "sheep" in your post..

i don't think any faction has denied the power of Nintendo 1st party..

you disagree?..
