How does the end of the year/2022 = several years away ? lol.Right so potentially several years off until any of this starts bearing real fruit.

There’s been a handful of games even announced for the Series X, much less given release windows.How does the end of the year/2022 = several years away ? lol.
When did I suggest there will be some massive library...? Read my posts again, maybe without your usual weird agenda.There’s been a handful of games even announced for the Series X, much less given release windows.
Where are you getting there will be some massive library next year?
At least the PS5 has a killer app right now though (and it’s not on PC). Plus Ratchet & Clank coming out next month.
Jesus, I said it would likely be several years before we start seeing much of a first party library on Series X. You brought up three games that maybe, could be released this year. I reiterated that yes, it sounds like any substantial presence is still likely years away. You brought up 2022 as some kind of counter to that.When did I suggest there will be some massive library...? Read my posts again, maybe without your usual weird agenda.
The rumour repeated by various outlets is that they're trying to get Forza, Starfield, and Halo out for this year. I would say, if it happens, would be a indication that their large first party portfolio is starting to bear fruit to some degree, as you have described.
E3's a month away.. so we'll have more of a idea then.
Seemed like they were banking a lot on Halo for launch and then we got this:I wonder how much covid has effected things with working at home etc. because you have to think with all those studio acquisitions over the last three years that MS must have wanted XSX to have a strong first year for releases.
Demon’s Souls.Which app are you referring to? And what are the benefits? I've been trying to read up a bit here and there about these next gen systems, but the articles and videos tend to be all over the place.
Every PS5 owner should pretty much expect this from here on out. If your buying a PS5 hoping for better third party performance you will be very disappointed. If your buying it for exclusive games well then you made the right choice.
At this point I’d say all 3 systems will be worth owning for exclusives.
I'm holding out before making a statement like that. Xbox has a lot of opportunities but will see if they pay off. It's one thing to have a long list of potential titles coming out but it's another thing to release actual good games worth playing. Some of their games we don't even know if they will be exclusive. Stalker 2 was just confirmed to only be 3 months exclusive.
Dude they have Bethesda and everything that comes with it. That’s enough reason to buy the console right there. I’m not going to try to sell you on the other studios like Ninja Theory, Obsidian, etc.
I don’t know when all of these games are going to be released but if that line up doesn’t get someone excited I don’t think they’re looking with a very open mind.
Yes but like I said we don't know what's going to be exclusive yet. They've been vague about the whole thing. A lot of the games they've announced sound promising and I'm excited for them but we've seen games that sound good end up being garbage. People were hyped about Cyber Punk as well and look how that turned out. I still enjoyed it and thought it was a good game but a lot of people hated it.
Like I said Xbox is making all the right moves and their future looks good but until they deliver I'm holding off on statements like "all 3 systems will be worth owning for exclusives". This is without even getting into the fact that your way way better off just building a gaming PC and getting all of the xbox exclusives as well as some Sony exclusives. Hell by next gen their might not be a reason to own either system other than Nintendo if Sony keeps putting their games on PC. Well unless you hate hackers in competitive games then your better off getting a console.
I wouldn’t say you’re way way better off building a PC. You can get a Series X, PS5, and Switch for the same price as it would cost to make a good gaming PC.
Yea I guess that's true with all the shit that's going on with PC gaming right now. I would still prefer to have all my games on 1 system. You do get a switch on top of it and Sony games right away instead of waiting so fair point.
I’ve always been a console gamer anyway dating back to the Sega Master System. Just prefer the whole thing to PC gaming. I guess I’m just old and stubborn that way.

Meaning the Xbox is using more advanced development tools that were only just created for the new hardware architecture to take advantage of the latest features. So once patches come through the XSX will close deficit relative to processing power, which means either superior performance, or equal performance, but with stronger features.
It won't take 4-5 years for consoles. The XSX is already outperforming the PS5 in several multiplat games, at least, I haven't reviewed analysis of dozens, if there is, and specifically when discussing major differences, like res/framerate target differences, the presence of optional framerate modes, or completely new graphical features like ray-tracing, VRS, mesh shaders, etc. The PS5 only seems to enjoy an advantage that will be patched away. You're thinking of PC where developer-side care for stuff like APIs is sluggish (ex. DX12/Vulkan support). "It's easier to develop for the PS5" because it's always easier to develop for something that doesn't add anything new. It's easier to develop for the PS4 and Xbox than new GPUs on the PC, for example.
The primary analysis they're not offering, since DRS now rules the world, is the average resolution on each system, or the total time spent at x resolution at various levels (ex. 1080p, 1200p, 1440p, 1600p, 1800p, 2160p). The recent spate of multiplat games performing so closely has been surprising, given the raw advantage for the Xbox with nearly identical hardware; however not too surprising, as Rich pointed out it's easier for developers in the blitz to prepare for the big launch to just run the same mode on both machines, setting this baseline lower to satisfying what the PS5 can handle, with the possibility (not the guarantee) that they will optimize the overhead the XSX enjoys given more time.
The fact developers are taking longer to adapt to the more advanced dev kit in the Xbox is the most logical explanation for the games where it tends to suffer framerate dips...and that is reinforced by the fact it took less than a week to patch Valhalla to close the performance gap in that particular game (according to Ubisoft themselves)...
At the end of the day, hardware is hardware, and the XSX is ~30% superior using nearly identical hardware pipelining on identical architecture (Zen 2 & RDNA 2.0). Never has a lesser GPU or CPU in this situation outperformed a greater counterpart once drivers and game patches matured.
