With Microsoft's low first party performance I am surprised with how well they are doing considering the hits Sony's been releasing for over 2 console gens now.
I mean it is objectively better than the One. It just doesn't feel much different on our end because they didn't change the UI a whole bunch from the One
Real. The One was shit, horrid loading times and framerate. The S and X are excellent pieces of technology. I say this as someone who quit consoles after the PS3/Wii/360.
Most Xbox games can be played natively on PC, so if you have a decent gaming PC there is pretty much zero reason to need an Xbox. I don't own any consoles, but if I were to buy one it'd likely be a PS5 for the extra game variety.
I’m lucky enough that I have all three of the consoles, but PlayStation first party games have kept that one in use a ton more and I have bought games at out near launch.
Game pass is great for filling in the gaps but none of it hits as hard.
