If I watch AJ video his sh*t will start popping in my recommendations again. Took a while to scrub that sh*t off my timeline, don't want to go back again.

I happened to somehow come across a video review recommendation for FF7 remake from him. The f**king dude dressed as Tifa on the cover image is burned in my mind. Cannot f**king unsee.

"Dislike" the video. YT won't use it for its algorithms. I do this sometimes even when its a good video

By price premium I'm referring to just the difference between Indian price and US price converted into INR. Not taking other factors into account

 

 

Maybe you have a bundle that's why yours says 47,990. Launch price was 44,990

 

is 34990 including or excluding tax ?

Ya for 2020 launch they banking on marketing deals with 3rd party and timed exclusives like Yakuza like dragon, Medium, Ascent  and Cross fire X campaign which Xbox only for 2020, Its not even on pc at launch. And finally you have Game pass with EA games. Best deal in gaming. 
 
And for 2021 same as above with timed exclusives and Halo if its ready.
 
 
Man i wish Flight Simulator was ready for seriesX at launch.  It will come next year. Its not a game that many would play but great tech showcase for hardware. 

They seriously need better first part IP. As much as 3rd party and r Holy trinity of Halo/Gears/Forza has carried them its getting stale. Want them to create something brand new and fresh at the spiderman/GOS level to really leave everyone as Holy sh*t. They can take time no worries but they need that.

Yakuza is not a timed exclusive.

It was a controlled leak just trying to force Sonys hand here.. If they had Info they would put it out just like they did with series S

Best case scenario would be that S outsells X in Holidays, by a large margin to become an important SKU to target.

Then they will factor in time they would need to Optimize.

 

They will likely throw in 3 months Gamepass with console. that will majorly help.

They have been supporting this generation of Xbox consoles with games optimised for both X & S (and OG Xbone) systems, once current gen phases out it'll Series S & X to optimise for only. Would it be any different?

Yes.

 

Xbone family of consoles sold less than 50m consoles this generation.

I don't know the split. But you can assume S was sold somewhere between 10-15m units.

So yeah, very less incentive to optimize and  valid reason to crib for cuz they still have to.

 

If XSS sells well, optimizing will be important, and half-assed job won't cut it.
