Contemplating getting the X as well since it seems like it will be a strong first party generation for Microsoft. Why do you find yourself playing that more than the PS5?

Aren't almost all XBS games coming to PC too? I'll probably get a series s at some point, probably after the re-design in the future. I plan on using PS5 to wwatch Blu-Rays and it rates better than XBox.

Have used both for watching 4k blurays. PS5 is a little better but I wouldnt want to use either. Both are subpar compared to a dedicated player.

In anticipation of the rumored Switch Pro, I just sold my Day 1 Switch on eBay for more than the current MSRP. It’s incredible how much resell value modern consoles have, especially during a chip shortage.

Enjoy the Switch. I would highly recommend Breath of the Wild, Hollow Knight, and Hades.

I prefer building a PC but the market is so competitive for parts (thanks crypto miners) that you basically have to continuously monitor restock apps or get murdered on prices hikes from 3rd party sellers.

That and Xbox Gamepass is much better on consoles than PC.

I’ll probably wait to see what exclusives come to Microsoft this generation. It seems like they have a lot in the pipeline but are a few years out.

True. I love my PC. Built it about a year ago. Right before COVID and mining really ****ed the market. It runs everything I want and should for some time, I'm glad I got it.

You hit 3 of my favorites. Also love for the most part Animal Crossing, Odyssey, Mario Maker 2, Smash and the remake of Link's Awakening.
 
Had to send my Switch Lite in for repair with my first Joycon Drift issue yet on the switch. Gonna have to switch back to the regular switch.

How long did you have the Lite before this started? I think it's ridiculous that Nintendo hasn't solved this issue yet.

Cheaper to fix a cheap part than to use expensive quality part that don’t break… the Nintendo way!

I’m really curious if the Steam Deck is going to make any foot print in the handheld market.

No. Steamdeck is going to be a disappointment for anyone who thinks they'll like it. Valve is notoriously bad at supporting hardware.
 
Man I'm ready for the new Switch Online Expansion pass. I'm gonna play any of my friends online in Star Fox 64. I guess I'll need to beat the gaem in the hard mode or whatever to unlock the land fighters.

It’s a crime Nintendo is charging extra for the expansion pass when the base package is so bare bones.

I love Nintendo, but they are incredibly anti-consumer.
