There's numerous reasons. So effectively, Xbox is a 2nd rate, prebuilt pc.... and that’s it. Would you defend a pc with the same specs like you defend Xbox? You even have to pay for Xbox live....on Xbox. Link to post Share on other sites

Xbox hasn't changed, it's not that the device ideology is any different than its ever been so the current state of blasting them is retarded. Microsoft simply extended games back to PC more in line with how they used to operate when they used to offer PC games. Nothing else is different. I have a 4K TV and my Xbox One X is perfect for that and a cheap solution plus I get a UHD Blu-Ray player. I don't have interest in 4K on my PC whatsoever, I have no interest in spending the money Remij does on his hardware and for PC he still uses a 1440p 144hz monitor just like I do. The target there is completely different, I'm totally platform agnostic and simply play games where I'll best enjoy that specific game or where I feel like playing it at the time. Play Anywhere has provided me great value and ability to jump in between these two platforms and I don't even have to think about it. It's great what they're doing, I don't have to decide anymore or spend $120 to play the same game in two different environments. Link to post Share on other sites

Bro all you’re doing is defending a budget pc lol Microsoft used to be heavily invested in PC games and then somewhere along the line they lost touch with that after the release of Gears of War and Halo on PC and then the whole Games for Windows Live debacle happened. This is just a return to form, also that was always Xbox's goal, to bring a PC capable experience to the living-room which is why computation has always been important and a focal point of the brand. The original Xbox had Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Morrowind etc. It's not a budget PC, it's a console no different than something like the PS4; Sony just doesn't release their games on PC which is going the way of the dodo as you can see the lions share of their partners are abandoning platform exclusivity.
