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 had to leave the xbox ecosystem because my xbl account has some issue where it can't download games up updates.

Bought a new xbox and modem factory reset etc and nothing fixes it. Microsoft were no help so i bought a ps5

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.

Which totally makes Microsoft’s reason to blacklist Sony from all future Bethesda products a winner of an idea!

Til the market for Xbox is saturated

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.

I'm not impressed with my Xbox series x .....it's no better than the one.

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.
