Thanks for asking I was wondering the same thing and thank you to all who responded and explained. I think the concern tolling by people that have absolutely NO intention of ever buying an Xbox was getting to me.
It always works like this. Especially atm considering MS's had a
really good past couple of weeks with the Zenimax power move purchase, and sending out Series X units to a lot of folks, coupled with smaller things like more Gamepass perks and combined with the (frankly) unfortunately
quite bad wave of Sony news since the show Sept 16 (cross-gen versions of Spiderman and Horizon, possibly cross-gen Demon's Souls Remastered (definite PC version in dev), the price hike for games, Godfall always-online requirement, the system size becoming more apparent, official cross-gen support from Sony for "3 to 4 years" (don't really think this is 1P-related but still), questionable BC (no word if the majority of the PS4 library will be BC Day 1), lack of cross-gen save support, etc.).
We're seeing some of the more hardcore Sony-centric types try throwing a monkey wrench into MS momentum of late and trying to conjure RROD Part 2 fears is the quickest and easiest way to do so. Too bad they're taking swings at a home-run but hitting themselves in the face with those bats instead.
On YT some of the worst ones like Crapgamer and Saltiest Gamer are really trying to push the idea out there. I think some resentment over the PS5 overheating rumors from earlier in the year are a driving force (tbf, a lot of those rumors were also unsubstantiated).
