Seems like no one in KSA is interested in both the consoles, preorders went live in the morning and even after hours, every major retailer have both units available....

Unlike what happened with PS5 preorders lol.

Being a PC + console gamer, this latest acquisition by Microsoft doesn't make me choose Xbox series X over PS5 as my console of choice for the upcoming generation.

Some console only gamers might be swayed otherwise, but weren't most of games by Bethesda (Skyrim etc) more popular with PC crowd compared to console gamers?

Only worrying thing for me is past trend of decrease in quality of games by studios acquired by Microsoft.

Looking forward to seeing Starfield and the next Elder Scrolls. The former was something people had set their eyes on to rivaling Cyberpunk 20777's world simulation. Im sure those plans have changed now lol

Also, expect it to be the norm for next-gen games like Starfield to have this kind of world simulation.

I thought already announced games like TES6 will still release on PS5. But if it's 'case by case basis' then I won't count on it. Anyway, XBSS+Game Pass remains a good proposition.

It was merely a teaser announcement confirming it exists, without any official press release. Elder Scrolls not being on PS would be as massive as the next GTA game being only on one console. Its all upto MS. Even if they put it on PS5, they are the primary beneficiary of the sales.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
