Should also add PS5 to it too.
Well we know why they didn't.
Honestly this is just getting tiring at this point. Between here, other forums, and certain Youtube channels (almost at a point where I feel I should just name names and show why); there's a strong sect of people who are hellbent on taking any perceived thing that can be levied as an attack against Series X and running with it, even to the point of ignoring the implications of a lot of that also affecting PS5 (but conveniently leaving PS5 out of the conversation when it's a negative they can use against Series X and just pretend it doesn't also affect PS5 in some capacity).
Like, I just saw this video and it's a good video, but look at the dolt in the Twitter who used that one segment in a 42-minute video as their takeaway message. Look at the way they framed it. This is the average console gaming discussion these days, it's deteriorated into the partisan BS that overt clickbait political channels resort to on the regular. And I wanted to keep political influences out of gaming, too bad supposed "gamers" now take those same tactics and apply them to discussing next-gen consoles.
It's like the number of places and people you can have genuine, in-depth, fair/balanced/honest discussion on next-gen tech with has dwindled to an absolute minimum. I can probably count the places and folks on two hands, maybe three at most, and that's pushing it. I will never understand this console warrior mentality that some people seem to have. Maybe that's because I first started gaming in arcades so I didn't form a strong console brand affinity right off the bat. I've had and/or played systems from SEGA, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, NEC, Vetrex (it was my older sister's) and more. Have played games across an even greater range of systems through sources like emulation (SNK, Atari, etc.).
For me I enjoy a multitude of platforms past and present for a variety of reasons. That's what a real gamer should be IMHO. I don't feel a need to shit on one system just to make another one look good, it'd go against my actual virtues towards the medium. But we've got too many fakes in the hobby today who simply hate on a system to hate on it, offer no constructive critiques, and simply repeat hot takes and talking points ad nauseum.
I honestly don't think gaming discourse online has ever been this outright toxic, and it's probably only going to get worst as time goes on before it gets better.
