I’ve got both and there’s nothing to play on series x right now (for me).

I’ll wait for Xbox to release a killer exclusive in a year or two.

Redfall: don’t care

Starfield: don’t care (it’s going to be buggy and run at 18 fps).

I can’t believe how many killer games Sony has released since launch and Xbox has nothing (for me).

There's over 160 million ps2's in circulation. I don't see them getting very expensive.

And I don't see a mass exodus of people deciding they suddenly don't like competive multiplayer games. But, assuming they did, why would they jump back 3 console generations? I'd think it more likely that they'd stick with more modern single player experiences.

Doubtful, especially when there's a whole generation of kids that only play online, and anything less than modern graphics are an assault on their eyes.

On pc, there's minimum requirements. The graphics are usually very scalable because you can just use different mips and change settings. CPU is a different story as you can't disable a lot in the game before impacting gameplay. Memory doesn't scale. Note that PC have a lot more memory than a console and CPU are much more powerful on a PC...

Also, there's no TRC (technical requirements) on PC. If you play a game with a shit box and you get 8 fps, you won't complain... on console, you need to provide a good experience and steady FPS to publish a game... So, no, it's not the same thing releasing a game for PC and for console.
