Let me make it easier for you. You buy a £499 GPU, aka RTX 3070 and play all the MS exclusives on PC, then you buy a PS5 for the exclusives there.
That's my plan anyways

Why would Sony not do same thing? Losing money on each console sold.
Can't see Sony carrying on doing same thing, no reason to leave money on table.
You mean for them to release their exclusives day one on Windows? Just can't ever see that happening.

it was stated during the original announcement, there would be a lot of angry people with elite 2 controllers if it doesn't.
Yeah figured as much.
What do we think about TV tuners and the smaller stuff? I’m guessing the UI and main setup is going to be the same as the X...?

If my artics 9x headset and G920 wheel work im good.
I'd like the kinect to still work but im not holding out a lot of hope for that.

Christmas.

thanksgiving usually in the states usually, so October November.
If there is supply issues then it could well be a phased launch though.

Surprise tech drop from Digital Foundry. Everyone's going nuts. I am just going to read/watch it all now.

The only thing I'm wary about is the memory. 16GB to last 7 years? Maybe it's explained in the videos why this is all right but I was expecting 20-24.

Seems like the Xbox will be equipped with 20GB of memory.
No, it's 16GB but DirectStorage (a new part of the DirectX family) allows almost instant access to any game assets. The SSD is like virtual memory.
And to add in the extra SSD external cart - £150? Might be better off just sticking to an external HDD and copying everything back and forth.

I thought the CPU was going to be clocked lower but its essentially the same base clock as the 3700x! Though it doesn't boost as high, but thats still impressive considering. This and the PS5 are going to be great imo, not sure on what price they'll be though. I suspect its not going to be too high but maybe in the £450-650 region.

Nice to see internal 1tb SSD, no more usb drive needed for me.
