About this deal
We have Ryan in November saying there's big news coming for PSnow and then David Jaffe saying they have a response to Gamepass. Certainly, because of the Zenimax deal they now have exclusives to look forward to in a few years time. It's kind of funny to see how important first party has become to Sony since 2010 or so, before they had mainly Gran Turismo that at least sometimes sold 10 million copies or more. I’m genuinely eyeing up an Xbox, I’ve never felt compelled to own one before but I expect I may well have one by the end of the year. I mean, Nintendo doesn't have their own response to Game Pass but it's doing great this generation despite being in the middle of the newer gen consoles because of their exclusive libraries.

Series X has been a fantastic purchase so far for me and quick resume is just not something you can get over when you play any thing any where else.Admittedly there are games worth playing on Gamepass, but these tend to be the first party exclusives, but if i was that interested in playing them I would of chose xbox over playstation long before Gamepass was a thing.

My only “concern” really is that Sony will miss out on some amazing indie titles, as that’s where so much exciting work is being done and Xbox seems to be really chasing these devs for exclusives. To me me it’s not so much what Xbox is doing the problem, instead it’s what Sony is not doing, report of Kojima working with Xbox seems like a lost to me, closure of Japan studio too, a lot of hit and miss on their side for me but nonetheless some really good hit.When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3. Of course, you can still play the original on your PS4 so even that game hardly counts as exclusive to PS5.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate opinion pieces, but this just seems to be making a big stink because we're in a new news void. If plenty people are willing to pay, then it's just an echo chamber of enthusiasts who have an issue with this. Beyond pricing, availability, drift issues, and future business models for both companies, I currently have no interest in purchasing either machine as neither have any worthwhile games now, and the near future doesn’t look better either. I want to like what I see and hear, and some games planned for the future sound great, but they are so far in the future it is difficult to be excited for.
At the moment Xbox is getting a lot of good will with game pass etc, but playstation still has the games in my opinion. With game pass its a scatter gun approach of games I'm not interested in, would never play, have little to no value and are not up to the quality of the ps plus offerings.
