One of the next games on my backlog, Ghost of Sushi, a year old with a nice free PS5 patch. If that is old for you then I guess you laugh at the though of playing a game like Skyrim with this sweet new Xbox backwards compatibility upgrade. My point exactly
I wonder if MS released a really high end $2-3k Xbox if it would chip away at PC gaming at all. It would be a better value for sure, and provide nice easy usability, but I feel so many PC gamers are too stuck in their "Muh PC Masta Race" to even look at the option with an open mind.

An old game's an old game. You always make fun of people when they get excited for last gen games, yet you play them yourself. Lmfao
And yes, I laugh at that thought. I've played all of those games either on previous consoles or on PC.
How exactly would that be better value? Considering you can only play xbox games and nothing else. There's a reason why MS and Sony isn't doing that: nobody would buy it.

Elaborate. $3k already gets you a 3080 with a top of the line cpu, 32gb of ram and lightning fast storage that is able to run anything easily, even in this current hardware climate. What more do you want? Pay to get the same hardware and be able to do much less with it? Yeah, that sounds like a great deal.

For about $300 more, yes. This is considering we are in the middle of a chip crisis. You think somebody that is willing to spend 3k on a mega xbox will care about spending $300 more? No, and that is why this will never happen.
And if you're gonna mention the benefit of ease of use: I know you don't realize this, but you can set up a PC to behave exactly like an xbox, frontend and all, from the moment you boot it. So there goes that point.
Cheers

People that are willing to shell out $3k, no.
Yeah, it will scale, but I'm sure you know that consoles are sold at a loss. That's why there is a price gap in the first place. If you think that a $3000 console will be sold at the same amount of loss (if any at all) then I don't know what to tell you.
Picture this: that $300 price gap will be zero in a year, and in two years current consoles are blown away spec-wise by a PC at the same cost. Now imagine this scenario will be amplified with a $3000 console, and you can't even upgrade it. Yikes.

Except they're not overpaying for the PC. They're choosing between an overpriced console that can only do one thing, vs. a PC that can do that same thing and a lot more, so who in their right mind would buy that? It's not really comparable to a low spec PC where graphics may look a bit worse for the first year compared to a console at an equal price. At a higher price point, that edge is lost.

Meanwhile sony charging $70 for returnal
Just lol @ ps5. Only reason I have this chit is for god of war-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.
