A very important component to really see 4K properly imo.
With each pixel being so small, each pixel needs to have very good control and range over it's own brightness and colour to really make the 4K effect pronounced.

Yeah, that's why I waited to jump in on 4k until I could get a decent HDR implementation at a low price. Going to wait a while longer before I get another one. I want a 65" instead of the 55" I have, but the wife thinks 55" is big enough. She don't know how wrong she is. LOL

Don't underestimate $100. That is a lot of money to a lot of people. And again, in every console selling scenario where a more powerful option was presented for more money, it sold less than the cheaper option. The number of people prioritising performance over cost are in a very small minority.
To illustrate: This is from December of last year. Before mass unemployment.

When I settled in with my LG C9, I was a little underwhelmed. But I do wear sunglasses 24/7.
Did you calibrate for HDR? I found all default settings to be inferior on my B7When I settled in with my LG C9, I was a little underwhelmed. But I do wear sunglasses 24/7.

Yes, but you missed the joke.

Even in bed? the future so bright I got to wear shades.

Gaming PC's have never been cheap in comparison to consoles
Exactly this, PC gaming isn't for everyone, and aside from that, many pc gamers have both xbox and a gaming pc. MS's games have generally always been available on both PC and Xbox, even with the 360. It didn't hurt it.
True the biggest revenue isn't in the hardware consoles but in subscriptions, game sales etc. Having games on more then one platform seems very profitable imo. Even Sony is experimenting with that and more and more PS games appear on pc.
Yea I'm holding off on buying those on PC until I see what PS5 does with HZD and Death Stranding in terms of BC
Probably ballpark 5700XT/2070 level, so if youve got that, you won't have to wait i think
If you dont have that it's probably better to get a PS5 DE and build a pc a year or so after launch, and have best of both worlds. I'm on a 2080Ti pc, il get a PS5 digital edition even if its more expensive because of the looks. MS will get profits from me because of gamepass and Sony because of their console.
It being the best place for 3rd party games isn't a given. Especially in the first year when they are being developed as cross platform with the Lockhart most likely being the target as it stands the greatest chance of selling some units. And it also depends on what background deals are being made for DLC and platform exclusive extras. Until we see the games in action nothing is a given.
Yeah there were some, potentially, good game in that lineup. But we'd need actual gameplay footage to decide. But you still won't need an Xbox, or upgrade from what you have already, to play any of them.
Allegedly their guidance is develop for Series X first and then fine-tune on LockHart platform.
Problem is I have a half decent PC and can upgrade for a similar price of XSX and lose a whole box in their over crowded TV cabinet.
That’s a real option, completely viable.
Yea that’s where I’m at as well if the only component left is GPU there are decisions to be made.

welp... that leaves me to sit outside a window to look in for this coming launch. Curious to see how this all plays out now for all countries.

The doom and gloom about MS in this thread makes me laugh.
I'm getting an XSX on launch day for one simple reason - It's the best box to play Cyberpunk 2077 and I know that MS has Halo, Forza, Gears, Fable etc... on the way. Who cares about a particular game at launch? Not me.
My oldest son and his friends just care about the latest Call of Duty, Apex, Battlefield etc... They'll just buy the best box (XSX) for those games. None of these guys care about Sony or MS 1st party. At least MS has a chance of getting them interested if Halo or Gears turn out well. These guys would rather watch paint dry than play something like The Last of Us. LOL
People overestimate the value of some 1st party titles in driving sales.
The people I talk to:
1) Does it have Call of Duty?
2) Is it powerful?
3) What are my friends getting?
We're not 18 any more. People have jobs now. $500 is "whatever" to every single person I know, even my underemployed 23 year old son.
We're living in a world where high school kids are walking around with $500 phones in their pocket and spending their money on dance moves in Fortnite (well not on iPhone, LOL).
Launch is all about early adopters. Most of the guys I mentioned above probably won't bother getting their XSX until 2021. MS and Sony will sell everything they can produce this year if they sell at $499, and maybe even $599.
10% of the userbases have the money and want these things NOW!
It makes for great click bait, but only 1 in 10 Xbox gamers even bought Halo 5, so most people either understand or don't care that Halo was delayed.
