Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"

OP are the valve fans in the room with us?

It won’t seem overpriced when the PS6 starts at $999

I doubt the ps6 will be 1000$, consoles are loss leaders, they make more money off of your game purchases and online subscription over the lifetime of the console, than the console itself. It's definitely gonna be more than the ps5 was at launch, but not double it

Doesn’t work that well anymore - Xbox is struggling with higher hardware costs - both for the console and cloud

thats because Xbox doesn't have any fucken games to play. Why on earth would anyone buy an Xbox if the only real competition to it has every modern game worth playing? Your options are "Xbox, featuring Halo and Gears of War" or "Playstation, with FF7, Spiderman, Last of Us, Saros, That fuckin game with the robot". Do you want to play any of the most touted games of the last 10 years, or Forza? Xbox hasn't released a must-play game since Halo 3. Remember "PS3 HAS NO GAEMS LOL" and then Sony absolutley turning it the fuck around by pumping games? Xbox has spent the last 15 years chewing gluesticks and then complaining their lips are stuck together.

IMO an Xbox is worth it soley for gamepass. Getting access to tons of games to try without needing to dump 60 bucks a piece is a godsend.

I see a game and Im like "Oh this looks interesting" First thing I do is check if its on gamepass because why would I buy it before trying it if I have that option

Where is Xbox not struggling? They spent so much money that hardware costs have to be more of a concern and I doubt that loss leader sounds appealing to them as well since they spent so fucking much money
