Let's Talk about Xbox
So, I think Microsoft has been dropping the ball lately. First, with their Gameplay Showcase and later with their Games Showcase. Halo Infinite did not look great and now it has been delayed. I think it's the right move. Obviously, losing Halo Infinite as a Series X launch title is bad, but I would rather a have a good quality game then have it be broken at launch like Halo the Master Chief Collection. I don't know what is going to be available at launch for the system, but there it does not seem to be much else there. Recently, there has been a rumor regarding the cost of the Series X from the Monster Energy Drink Series X give away. They calculated the cost of the Series X and apparently it's going to be $599 which I have a hard time believing considering how disastrous that price point was for Sony with the PS3. I just can't see it costing more than $499 at the most, but who knows, I could be wrong. If the 599 price tag ends up being true, Microsoft is going to have a hard time selling the console. Regardless of the price, I think the PS5 is going to outsell the Series X for sure. That being said, I wonder how this will play out in the long term. Microsoft no longer sees Xbox as simply as a box to play video games. They want to people to be able to play their games everywhere, not just on their system. Seeing as they're the only ones trying to push things forward in regards to video game streaming. Don't get me wrong I know Playstation has PSNow, but I don't think it is as ambitious as what Microsoft is trying to accomplish. I guess we will see what happens.
