Has Microsoft sold you yet on the Xbox Series X?
- Thread starter Vire
- Start date
Not yet. I need to know more. Like what different models are going to be available, and of course the most important thing, the software lineup. I never bothered to buy an Xbox One this gen because there just wasn't enough exclusive software I wanted for me to justify the purchase.
I will say I do like the vertical design of the console, and how the vent is on top of the system.

I don't mean to be rude. I appreciate you course correcting. But people always seem to misrepresent themselves when they look back.
A shame you won't be able to buy games on the Xbox Series X.
I'm intrigued, but I need more information and even then I'm still more likely to get the PS5 first.
Like what happened this last gen, Playstation first and then Xbox later down the line.

I like everything that they are doing but their software lineup is pretty lackluster to me. That will be the main draw if I am ever to purchase a Series X. I do hope Sony takes note about the design and the emphasis on keeping the hardware noise levels low.
But what will happen if the rumours are true and Sony winds up putting their games on PC?
Me personally? I'll still buy 3 console regardless because PC Gaming lol
Well that's because I actually standby what I said. But Scalebound was always interesting to me in the non-interesting way. Fact that it even existed was something worth noting.
It would be the best thing for me. One platform for all games, no need to pay an extra subscription fee to use online features.
Isn't that 1.5 months Vs. 12? I don't disagree that they fumbled launch, but that would seem to be a huge factor as well
Yes, but when is my question. I'm going to get one once a game gets announced that has my interest.
Not gonna day one this for Halo.

Wait for Infinite first gameplay 😌
next revolution of the FPS😌
I haven't been sold on any next gen console. I don't see how anyone could be without any game announcements.
I know I will likely get one at some point, but right now I'm not day one.
Depends on the upcoming games. I'd be fine using Series X as my "main" console for third-party games, but Sony has the edge on exclusives for me, if only because of Spider-Man and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Aside from those exclusives, GamePass is great and I'm sure there'll be only more crossplay games to come, so it won't really matter outside of those.

No. All we've seen the is the box and a trailer for 1 game. The box looks ok, I never particularly cared what my consoles look like, and the vertical box is an interesting choice, but isn't a make or break decision for me.
Once we know specs, games, etc. I'll consider it.

Can't be sold with no specs or price announcements. That'd mean I'm sold on a picture and flowery PR words.
The honest truth is that my PC pretty much guarantees that I'll never buy an Xbox console, but I will be playing a lot of games from Microsoft's studios.
It is one of the best looking consoles of all time. The monolithic look is so sci-fi to me.

that's.... not a good comparison considering the Xbox launched on November 22 of 2013.
Two exclusives does not a console preorder make.
The tech/design are cool but there needs to be more diverse exclusive content. I don't want a fancy Game Pass multiplat box.

If it's day and date I'll go PC. I don't care about the box. Playstation and Nintendo making me buy hardware to play their games benefits them because I almost always end up getting something else there but if PS5 is going full in on PC I'm going there.
Yes, but it has nothing to do with Hellblade. I'll get it for the 4K / 8k support and backwards compatibility.
Have we heard anything on external drive support??
I have over 500 Games installed on my Xbox One X. 11TB total with 5TB Free.

Personally, I need a better understanding of their backward compatibility plan. If it truly is everything from the original Xbox forward then I'm sold because there are plenty of games I haven't played on Xbox since I was mainly PlayStation.
Care to share your insider information on these games?
It was, I guess I should have clarified that I'm looking for gameplay that's "in-engine" not just a cinematic. This gen we've seen a ton of "in-engine" real-time cut scenes that look amazing but massive downgrades during gameplay so it's difficult to know exactly how good gameplay is going to look.
Too much work and cost for me.
It's cheaper (here) and more convenient to buy 3 consoles than bother with a Gaming PC.
I'm still PS5 on launch 100% barring some unimaginable gaffe...
Really thinking I'm buying one console at launch so right now I'm thinking of keeping my 1X for a while and then buying the Series X at some point.
Things could always change though...

...there wasnt even 2 months left in the year in 2013....
I guess. I didn't need to be convinced, I was planning on getting one already. I'm not crazy about the design, the S and X versions of the X1 look awesome (the S is probably my favorite console design) but the Series X is so plain. It's just a plain black box.
So I wasn't thrilled by the reveal, but there's no way I'm not getting one at launch, so I guess call me convinced. Can't wait to see more gameplay.

I liked how Microsoft handle the reveal at the Game Awards and I've been watching what they've been doing with Game Pass.I'm interested in what they're doing but not enough to buy into their ecosystem just yet.
I want to see how their first, second, and third party exclusives shapes up. I'm not worried about the system because it seems like a legit powerhouse and I'm impressed with the Game Pass Ultimate.
All it would take for me to buy a X-Box Series X and years of Game Pass Ultimate is a game that competes with Pokémon. It could be Monsters, Machines, Spirts, or other dimensional beings, or a combination of all of the above with a Teen or Mature story and a competitive side to it. Pokémon and Game Freak needs a legit competitor that's not on a Nintendo Platform and I don't care if it's Sony or Microsoft I will buy whatever console necessary to play and support a game like that.

I'm more interested in it than the next Playstation. which is something I've never said about a Xbox console before. Being able to play most of my Original Xbox & Xbox 360 games is a big plus for me. If I can do the same with the PS5 that might change things
I would say i'm sold on the capability of the Series X (tha flops) and I don't mind the look of the chassis. Also have gamepass through Oct 2022. I picked "Yes, but not right away", because I have a very decent pc and I was primarily a ps4 player this gen and, frankly, my ps4 pro is feeling more old and loud than my new X and I'll wanna update that first. I'm a sucker though so i'll end up with everything at some point/after the right sale.
Lol I've gone from assumed definite buy to maybe but probably not until a slim revision, but I might just settle on playing the few exclusives I care about on our MacBook Pro probably low settings fuck it.
I will be doing this for sure. Xbox would have to have a crazy exclusive (not available on PC) for me to consider one.
Very likely but not sure if @ launch.
Wondering if MS will do a trade up program for those who own the X?
