The Xbox One flopped because of their tone deaf e3 presentation that Sony capitalized on. It turned the entire community against them.

Then fast forward a few years and there's almost no exclusives. The PS4 had a ton.

I could complain all day about how sparse the PS5s exclusives are, but it doesn't matter since it's still better than Xbox, and only relevant if you're also into PC gaming since you end up with most of their "exclusives" anyway. Personally I'll never be able to consider a game exclusive if it also comes out in PC... Why would I buy your console, then?

It's easy to land on the PC+Nintendo setup. Especially when you're not okay with pirating current gen Nintendo.

well Xbox syncs with PC

It was terrible, at least in the 360 era.

It worked apparently if you started with an xbox live account and wanted to move to PC as well. If you started with a games for windows live account and wanted to go to xbox, no joy - you had to create a second account.

So thats how I ended up with two separate microsoft accounts, borne out of what was originally a gfwl account and an xbox account.

I'm talking about Series X. It's seamless.

I never even tried in the 360 days.
