Sony pushing exclusives =
MS buying ZeniMax to (presumably) do the same = "Panic Buying!", "Monopoly incoming!", "I don't play Bethesda games anyways so who cares!"
Gotta love
Lovely strawman
Gave reasons why it was a panic buy. You chaps got all huffy and puffy about it. Thicker skin folks, thicker skin (as one of you mentioned before)
MS is a monopoly, and lets hope I'm wrong.
Where did I say I don't play Bethesda games? If I did, that was incorrect. I think I said last Fallout was pretty poor. I actually just got Skyrim a few months ago will go back to it shortly

Because this is a PS5 vs Xbox thread?
And I'd love for you to point me to where I was complaining
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sony bought studios and then the great exclusives came?
Whereas MS bought studios, tried to create great exclusives, and failed.
Then spent $7.5 billions dollars on a publisher with a number of popular series, with the intent (we all imagine) to make them exclusive in the future.

Ok, so you don't have an issue with PS's exclusives then. Good to hear.

In fact, I'd love to play some. Being a big Fromsoftware fan I've always had my eyes on Bloodbourne. But there's simply no way I'll spend money buying a PS just to play that, same with Switch and Nintendo.
Do I have a problem with exclusives? I don't think it's best for the customer at the end of the day but it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least with MS you have more than one option ^^

That's what kind of evidence?
And doesn't it say the studio was closed down?Also, one thing we need to highlight - Sony and MS bought studios previously.
MS is the only one who bought a publisher.

Move the goalposts much?
Also you don't need a publisher if you are the one publishing for your devices. Why carry extra weight when you cash strapped?

What shifting of the goal posts? You provided a link that showed very little, as far as I was concerned, and then I also pointed out the fact that MS bought a publisher, to get their hands on a bunch of titles. Which Sony has not done.
They bought studios and developed exclusives. There may be one or two exceptions, but that doesn't change what I said.

Interesting to see the big difference in the design philosophy.
I do prefer the MS minimalist & compact style myself but hoping it won't bite them in the backside

Multiple Reports Suggest Xbox Series X Runs Really Hot
Microsoft's new console may be whisper quiet, but 'you can heat up your flat with it.'

I see you are really desperate
Also one of the "multiple reports" was literally a guy touching the SSD (which has a heatsink) on the inside and then acting like he got a 3rd degree burn. Sensationalism spreads like wildfire once again

You chaps really need to get a sense of humour.
I saw some youtube clips last night where the Xbox crowd were addressing the heat rumours, and I agree with them that the venting is supposed to do that. The problem is also that the Xbox vents out the top, as opposed to the rear, so it will be far more noticeable.
Having said that, compared to reports of the PS5 coolness in a hot media/testing room, it does seem that the design (air vents along the sides, massive heatsink, liquid metal) of the PS5 will make it a cooler machine then the XSX.
But, as per everything else, only time will tell.

You measuring against that controlled experiment where we don't even know if that was a dummy box with cables in it and if they where playing a game off a PC under the table?
Hell they didn't even show the Console menu's...
No-one has shown the PS5 UI yet. But if you need to bring dummy boxes and PC's into this, there's not much to discuss. Guess we will have to wait for the real reviews then

PlayStation 5 games lineup makes purchasing a next-gen console supremely tempting but the PS5's price tag in some countries will leave fans with hard choices to make
A fan-made image of some of the major titles lined up for the PlayStation 5 has appeared online and excited many waiting for their PS5 pre-order to be fulfilled. However, while the next-gen console is a reasonable purchase in some countries, in others buying one is a difficult decision for even...
