These things aren't for the crowd who fall for that marketing.
Sony and Microsoft are only interested in marketing to mainstream. Making new hardware is a massive investment, they are not going to do that unless they can appeal to the mainstream.. Hence why Microsoft think they can get away with deleting a disc drive and not having a "pro" model in their road map..

Titanfall 2? Its cheap! Great multiplayer.
Elden ring, steep learning curve but stick with it and you’ll be rewarded with one of the best games for a long long time.
One of the best single player story games made.

Why pick one - just get gamepass ultimate - search for the latest methods to get it cheap, I managed to get 3 years for £120ish games on there include most of the ac games, wo long, Lies of p, Monster Hunter Rise, all the halos, far cry, forza if you have an xbox or pc it's incredible value.
You do know they've already done this business model and been successful with it, yes?
You're denying a reality that's already happened.

I think in the past (pre ps4/xb1 era) that was the case. Now though the consoles are effectively custom pc's making it way easier and cheaper to update them. Both consoles run amd chips so as long as they stay on the same architecture Sony or MS can just slam in a faster APU, quicker or more memory and a bigger ssd, update the bios to support it and they could be done other than a bit of software work for the os to recognise the more powerful system.
Don’t have ESO but with all other games on Game Pass you can just buy the DLC/expansions rather than the whole package. Of course, if your subscription runs out, you still own the DLC but can’t use it as you can’t access the base game.
Thanks. That makes sense.

I have a situation.
I have Xbox X, it is set as home console and my account is game pass/ultimate so I can play game pass games on the xbox and my PC. One of my kids has my Xbox One and signed in with my account so he can play game pass games. Obviously only one xbox can play a game under the same account so I set him up a new account with his own gamertag. It doesnt have xbox live/gamepas/ultimate or whatever, its just a gamer tag so he can have his own achievements. Now, my situation is his brother likes playing Minecraft on the Xbox X home console using his own non live gamertag as anyone can play games on a console that has gamepass etc. With his brother using the xbox one if he gets his own copy of minecraft could they play on their own consoles together even though one of them doesnt have a live account? ei: over lan.
Currently they are both playing split screen on the X.
What is the easiest way for them to play on their own consoles with each other in the same world they create?
Edit: nevermind. I sorted it and also manged to join a game with them from my PC.

Over the coming months according to Phil Spencer. Probably scant few until 2024.
It would be good to get some of the older CoD games.
*Delayed until 2025
I don't play my xbox that much, couple of times a week give or take. Sometimes don't turn it on for a week. I'm trying to figure out why updates for games aren't installing automatically. Everything looks to be configured for it but when I had a look today I can see 5 updates that require me to approve before they do anything. Had it with a pre-loaded game the other week too, went to play it and it said I needed to downloads multiple gb's. Does anyone else experience this?
