I've always been a Playstation guy, but the Series X looks like a great machine and an unbelievable deal with Gamepass.

Has there been any news on what kind of games will be coming out on Gamepass moving forwards? I'm not that big on the big AAA titles, and really enjoy indie games and story driven titles like Life Is Strange, Persona, Detroit Become Human etc, which I think Sony have done better, at least historically. Does this look set to change at all?

The only thing keeping me going with the PC are strategy games/mouse and keyboard. However if there is good m/kb support on the series X and titles like ANNO and Total War start appearing on the Xbox then i think that will be it for PC gaming for me.

Similar feelings here. My Surface Pro is enough for my work needs. So PC is increasingly just an extravagant expense to play a small few titles that don't come to consoles. If those few games came to console, I'd ditch PC in a heart beat.

Indeed, very competitive. Considering the timeline of announcements, I'm now thinking that Sony and Microsoft weren't waiting for each other to compete on price, but rather they were both aware of Nvidias plans. As far as I'm aware Nvidia have just decimated the price/performance of GPUs with the 30XX series, which undoubtedly plays a major part in the gaming audience's buying decision for whether they upgrade a PC or get a next-gen console.

Certainly for Microsoft the PC gaming ecosystem has to be a core focus and also console competitor/shared market strategy.

I'm in this bracket. It would have meant a full new build, as I'm on a laptop, so was always going to be more than a console, but the thing I was waiting for is how much more.

£450 is an absolute steal.

The pricing on this, especially with the Klarna (most people can get it credit) option is incredible.

I'm buying the X.

I did think this was another nail in the pc gaming coffin, but then thought they are still very different platforms. I'm not sure that many people would leave pc gaming for console, as if they were going to do it, they would have done it years ago.

When you look at the recent steam survey, most people are gaming with fairly low-mid end & older cards.

The pricing and capability of the X and S capture both the PC market and console gamers. It's an invitation to both not one or the other.

If I'm being honest, the games I can only get on PC (e.g. Total War, which I've been playing for 20 years) are the excuse. Reality is, I like tinkering with the hardware. I spend more time doing that than I spend playing games these days. I'd probably miss it, and wind up building another PC within a couple of years. Been down that road a few times now. Costs a fortune starting from scratch :p

Lol for sure it’s a pretty fat console compared to the series s model.
Was kinda hoping it would be slightly slimmer but must be a reason for it to be quite chunky.
