@boobytrap: That's nine games in seven years. All of them single player, play for a week or two and move on. They're just as good to play fresh today as when they came out.

Xbox One X plays pretty much every other game better than the Pro.

If I wait for the PS5 Pro I won't have to wait a year in-between games.

@notjm: Not really. The Xbox One had a much better launch lineup. PS4 didn't have anything all that great until a year and a half after they launched. PS4 won because it was cheaper and more powerful.

I've been a day one Playstation adopter since the original. But it's definitely time to switch that up. Everything about the Xbox ecosystem is better now and it's just a better place to play games. The only thing I've used my PS4 Pro to play this year is Last of Us and The Show.

I'll get a PS5 Pro in 3 years and catch up on the 3 or 4 amazing games I missed.

Just let us buy them already.

If the reports are true, Xbox will be on top again this generation. Same reason that PlayStation won this generation. You just can't beat most powerful and cheaper.

@subsided94: Ori is a GOTY contender and came out this year.

@id0ntkn0w7: I'm guessing English isn't your first language.

@sladakrobot: LOL! So your stance is to not buy games from greedy publishers except when they release games you want to play. What about Ubisoft, Sega, Atlus, Square, Konami? I hope you're fake boycotting all of them as well since they all use the greedy, shady business tactics that you're taking a stand against.

Oh, my sweet summer child. I'm guessing this was your first generation of consoles?

If you stayed away from every shady and greedy publisher that resold games for next gen consoles, you'd have to stay away from every major publisher. No more Nintendo, no more Sony, no more Microsoft, no more EA, 2K, Bethesda, Ubisoft, THQ Nordic, and on, and on, and on.

Here's a secret so you don't get duped again. Every single game publisher, EVERY SINGLE ONE, is looking to make the most money they can. They only do things that look consumer-friendly when they feel that it will lead to them making more money.

It costs money to port and upgrade a game. If it's not worth the price to you, don't buy the upgraded version.

@PrpleTrtleBuBum: I can guarantee you that far more people know who Dr Disrespect is than any of the people you listed.

Is GameSpot making a concerted effort to start using the whole review scale? There have been a bunch of scores below five recently and way below the industry average.

Did they state this somewhere? I don't see how Spongebob possibly gets below a six on their usual scale.

@flatovercrest: Not really sure what point you're trying to make. In your example, there's a way to prove you own the game. The current console generation has been going on for seven years and they've put zero cd-keys in the box. There's no upgrade path from disc to digital without an overly convoluted process that ensures you own the disc and it will only be upgraded once.
