    Xbox tried it, tbh it was nice but cutting your market in half creates a knock on affect in your cost of supplies. It also affects the game production with some consoles having issues and others not.

      I was always a PC gamer but now having a nice TV in the basement the console is just a more natural choice. I tried using Steam big picture among other options but it still doesn’t fit as well as a console does for me. Xbox had different tiers of consoles? Guess I didn’t research Xbox much and haven’t had one for ages.

        Yeah in the most recent gen they had series S and series X, the S being a low end new gen and X being the flagship ps5 competitor in spec.

        Tbh xbox has terrible naming conventions that make it difficult.

        In the 360 era they had multiple options mostly relating to HD size.

          I follow tech, gaming, consoles, etc.

          I still have to fucking double check S/Series S and X/series X because those are the dumbest names ever.
