Xbox have a massive chance of coming back now. If they play it right. A new super-powered XBox with the whole PC library is a huge incentive to gamers.
@NetshadeX That's mad. I'm not particularly lucky normaly, bit I also bought a PS5 Pro day one (with disc drive). My workmate has been trying to justify building a gamer rig for over a year and the prices just keep rising.
@Granadico I am under the assumption that the primarily physical console game owner likely has far more games in their collection than most digital counterparts.
I'm right with John Linneman. This will drastically alter my gaming choices in the future and seriously limit my purchases like never before. I love having a physical games collection, and I believe we should be able to recoup some of our financial outlay by trading in or selling unwanted games. A Sony price monopoly could be catastrophic. Sony has proved itself terrible for removing licences to digital games and media. Buy-to-rent for only a few years is an awful prospect.
From the chatter, it looks like £ 900-plus for PS6 and somewhere in the £ 1,200- £ 1,500 range for NextBox-Helix. Kinda glad I bought an RTX 5090 (24 GB video RAM) laptop with 62 GB system RAM just before the AI apocalypse. At least with PC, GOG is DRM-free, and you can pick up games really cheap in general in PC gaming stores. This may be the first generation of consoles I give a miss, and I've been day 1 since the PS1 and original Xbox with EVERY console released since then.

Re: Report: Microsoft to bring Xbox 360 games to "Xbox PCs", handhelds and Project Helix
Well, it's a credit to Microsoft in a time when Sony deletes a whole game generation's library of games that people 'owned'.
