The stock screwed them both over. They only did like 500k-600k for the month. Which is terrible for November. Nobody should bd happy because this shortage doesn't look like ending.

You're trying to frame things so that if you disagree that Halo 5 and FH5 make a "strong case" for the Xbox (these are two series with a long historical record, and have not ever moved the needle towards Xbox being in a lead position.

Me: “Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 are great games and genuine system sellers. Good reasons for people to want to pick up an Xbox”


You “in the past, these two series have not moved the needle to put xbox in the lead”


Who said anything about putting xbox in the lead? What do you gain from console warring?

But I do admire your attempted rhetorical device basically saying people who disagree (i.e. you frame disagreement as "mocking") with what is written is basically not "sane."

‘Mocking’ was used by the person who I was responding to. It’s usually a great idea to read the conversation first before replying.

 

[German Hops]

Hope you get lucky to get one.

I am still waiting for ps5. Its harder to get one. And I was lucky to get one for my little brother. My luck doesn't work on me though. It's out of stock, every time I check it.

Yeah man, good luck to you, too.

And at least when I get my Raspberry Pi, though, I will have actual games to play on it, unlike the PS5.

Data doesn't lie, Xbox won November vs PS5. We'll see what happens in December.

So the shortage on Sony's side on top MS really only moving Consoles in two Markets the rest MS can barely move anything. The US isn't the only place in the world.

Good news for Xbox and for the kids that will be able to get a current gen console this holiday season.

Unfortunately, I see, as usual, a certain group of people are generating enough salt to keep the entire population of the world supplied into the next millennium. I do think topics like this i.e., positive Xbox news, should come with a trigger warning. Poor @Rivet is about to have a breakdown this thread has so triggered him.

I feel you on that trigger warning for Xbox threads. Jesus Christ. It's not fair for us to lay all the good Xbox news on these hardcore Sony fans. These boys ain't ready for it. Lol

That's my point! If a PC game maker only made games for PCs and didn't care about consoles, you'd see the best looking game ever. Well actually......

That doesn’t look that impressive to me. In fact, i think Starfield will look better and BGS isn’t exactly known for state of the art graphics

So wait, you’re actuallly gonna tell me that looks significantly better than death stranding or TLOU2? Which are PS4 games…. You’re talking about those cutscene cinematic as if developing a game only for PC puts it in another stratosphere. I don’t see it

So your going to shame children/teens for wanting a PS5/Series X for Christmas instead of Series S wow...

MS must have an affiliate program for the Series S or something lol .....

My daddy used to tell me to shit into one hand and expect into the other one and see which one fills up first. I'm not going to shame anyone for wanting something. It's natural to want things. But I'm not going to feel bad for a brat who expects a $500 console for Christmas and gets angry when they get one that cost only $300. Parents don't owe their kids expensive toys.

Yeh... No. And this is from 2 years ago:



It's pretty much the most ambitious gaming project out there but whether it ever actually releases in a final version is another story.

I am not going to trust these guys like that. We had games which had great graphics on the showcase, that turned rubbish after release. Case in point, watch dogs.

Star citizen have been hyped for years like cyberpunk2077.

can you post the gameplay, instead of in-game picture? Because PC games blows this to the ground.



That is mods added to 2011 game. That is what amatuer people are able to do it on pc.



Red dead 2 pc mods again. This time is photorealistic mod, with raytracing.

I am still recovering from cyberpunk. And this game had bad reputation, so I was catious.

I might buy the early access and see it for myself.

Check out the pc mods for certain games. They feel way different than actual games. Its like a realistic mode for them.

Here is skyrim mod.

For a younger kid or early teenager, the Series S would make for a far better gift, it's cheaper .. smaller .. has all the next-gen games you want

It doesn't.

which next gen game doesn't Series S have that Series X has ? or is this a gotcha post about PS5 exclusives ?

No one is salty or triggered.

Xbox fans in this thread don't know how to really respond to the fact that there are supply constraints other than to accuse people of being salty.

Not to derail the discussion or anything. But I played through this particular mission recently, and it's pretty much inline with the showcase. I would say it's 90 percent similar. Shrug.

Why are you specifying Series X now? The post said PS5/XSX. Then you said Series S has all Nextgen games, and that's untrue.

 

[adamsapple]

Why are you specifying Series X now? The post said PS5/XSX.

1. The post doesn't mention PS5 anywhere.

2. It shouldn't take a thesis to understand when talking about the Xbox Series S, the post is referring to next-gen games on the Xbox platform.

Come on, man.

You're right, people are getting salty.

Every time someone pointed out stock issues, there was a negative response to it. That's the definition of salt.

Xbox fans want to see this as a major success without the asterisk. This is in fact the reason why and people shouldn't respond so negatively towards it.

You expect parents to casual drop 500$ in this pandemic? And if they don't, they are shit parents?

Man you must be living in a bubble. I am sorry, but no sane parents is going to drop that much money easily for their kids. Unless the parents have alot of money, you can "those 500$ console" bye. It ain't happening chief.

I don't expect parents to do anything ....

My point is we were all kids at one point and wanted things we couldn't have or afford. I don't think anyone should be shamed for that.

There's no gotcha bitch here. You have a weird way of thinking. I'm simply correcting your untrue post of all Nextgen games on Series S.

 

[MAtgS]

If Series S is the majority console, its not good for both Series X and PS5 as next gen games going to be downgraded for Series S.

Well not a problem for the majority who bought S.

 

[adamsapple]

Well not a problem for the majority who bought S.

Also, from a certain perspective it means Series X and PS5 will always get games with much better resolution/performance metrics than the baseline (Series S).

So there's that.

 

[truth411]

There will be demand, when supply is low. If supply is higher, there won't be demand.

Xss supply is higher, and is satisfying the demand, while xsx/ps5 cant supply enough to satisfy the demand.

If xss doesn't sell well, like the people here sayings, Ms would reduce the price to $200-$250, to increase the demand for the console. But because they aren't lowering the price, the console is selling very well.

Anyone who took business in college, knows this. But our boys here don't, so they keep talking shit.

This is a false Narrative. The demand for PS5 and XSX supply doesnt meet demand, Period. If Supply was not an issue the XSS would not have been a #1 in sales Period. Yes there is more supply for XSS (its a smaller SOC thus easier to produce) but that isnt representative for its demand for it. People are simply getting what they can get, everything else is SOLD OUT. Heck even the XSS is largely sold out but comes instock more often, thus more sales. Until the global chip shortage is over everyone should ignore sales numbers. Heck even the Switch is Sold Out.

 

[Rival]

So you’re saying the only console you can actually buy is selling better than the others?

There will be demand, when supply is low. If supply is higher, there won't be demand.

Both consoles have low supply due to stock, and because of that, they cant satisfy the demand. And since you cant satisfy the demand, you will have high demand for your product. (xsx,ps5)
If both consoles had high supply, everyone who wants the console will be able to get them. Because of how easy is to get the product, the demand would be low. (xss, switch)

The chip shortages is breaking the law of equilibrium. Which results in higher demand. Which is responsible for "Out of stock".

Until that chip shortage is fixed, both consoles will face this problem for a long time.

Xss has higher supply, which users here reported of its availability. Because of that, the XSS doesn't meet "higher demand" status, since supply exceeds demand. Same for switch. Switch has more supply, which makes the demand less, since you can buy one. XSX/PS5 have limited stock, which makes the demand for them higher. And because Sony and MS arent providing enough supply, both console will be in much higher demand. Its why its get "out of stock" status.

It doesnt have anything to do with n1 sales. Its whoever can satisfy the demand, will win that month.

People who actually own one seem happy with it, it seems to be the people who don't and have no intention of buying one who aren't, funny that.

Gee I wonder why that is? Is it really funny or do people not buy things they don't like and people buy things that they at least have some liking to? I think we need to get Einstein on the case for this one.
