So ES and Fallout games - Bethesda games worth 3billion dollars alone. Rest of the price they paid for Zenimax and their other subsidiaries. :panic:

 

People underestimating Fallout and TES here. Not even counting DOOM and Wolfenstein. Bethesda got some of the best IPs of all time. If MS plays right, it will be amazing. 

 

TES and Fallout are still massive.

wont happen, they will likely increase the price of GPU after selling the hardware this holidays.

 

Hilarious Hope thinks MS will drop GamePass. :lol: If anything GP is only going to get bigger and better.

Playstation owners still pay 4k :P

 

You're in a good spot. PS5+PC is a good combo.

 

I kinda want to put my money towards upgrading PC next year myself, but PC is gonna cost a lot more, as I have to change CPU+Mobo+RAM along with new GPU, plus the Forza experience is better with Xbox as per people here. So if I can't go down PC route, will put money into Series X

PC initial cost is high, yes, but lasts so long. My rig is running 10th year now. Nobody upgrades CPU/Mobo/RAM every year or 2. The gain is 1-5 fps at best. Only upgrade GPU if you want every 5-7 years. Good thing about PC is you can juice out every last drop. Change settings as you like and play.

Exactly, my rig will be 5 years old and it's still a solid piece of hardware. Lightning fast. Cost is the only cons in PC gaming, it's still par with the new xbox and ps5 exclude the SSD of ps5, Samsung,kingston,seagate and others should be on it by now and it will be available for sale in a year or two.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. But my current system will need major overhaul. I'm still on Skylake i5 and those blue DDR3 hyperx sticks lol. Sold my RX470 a good few years ago because I was not gonna get much playing time.

Almost a build from scratch frankly. Plus I don't have a gaming monitor, just a regular one. 

 

I am looking to getting back into PC gaming, just that I have too much backlog on PS4 and PS5 is priority. 

Will decide which route to go next year (b/w PC and Series X depending on how much cash left over)

Not just hope ,there are other too who still don’t understand . 

Everything they are doing revolves around gamepass and they think MS will drop it when they are ahead in the game  :ko:

Also They have steam , maybe Sony and nintendo to make those 60-70$ sales to. 

Jump To 15 million means they are adding 1 million a month which will continue to multiply even more quickly now.
