So I wonder if some Xbox one X owners feel MS screwed them like Nvidia with did with 2080ti owners?
The cheapest Ps5 go for 10k so I still see Ps4 pro's go for 5k+ used, hell a friend of mine bought a pro 2 weeks ago secondhand for 6k
But with the Series S at 7k it seems Xbox one X owners struggle to get more than 4k for something they probably paid 8k+ for not to long ago.

Where are you seeing One X for 4k? Please I'm still seeing people flogging One S for more than 4k.

You expect companies to screw over new customers in favour of old customers who already bought their older product?

Yes you can ask what you want, that does not mean it will sell. I just check on Carb, facebook, gumtree etc and see the ones selling for 5k etc does not seem to sell. And why would it, for a bit more you can buy the series s

Which doesn't have a disc drive, also can't do 4k. The One X is still pretty powerful.
Same said about the PS4 can ask what you want.

Doesn’t do 4K natively as it doesn’t try, but upscales to it happily.

Also has a monster SSD.

The X will soon not have any new games, it would be silly to buy one now instead of an S.

Well MS hasn't said when they'll stop support of it yet.

There are already a multitude of games not coming to it which will simply grow with time.

Flight Simulator, The Medium, Scorn comes to mind first.

Third parties certainly won’t give a damn either for very long, especially after the Cyberpunk fiasco.

The Xbox Series S is a next gen console, the Xbox One X simply is not.

True, the Cpu on the S is superior to the One X one.

I think I last commented in this thread when it was like page 26, so about time I popped in again.

Hmm let's see, seems to go like this this:

XBox Fanboy: So I'm very impartial and completely not a fanboy. GamePass. And the PS5 is good. GamePass. But I've evaluated all the variables and the only conclusion is to get the XBox. Terraflops. You'd have to be a fool or have more money than sense to get the PS5. GamePass. Oh and I'm very impartial and look at all the angles.
GamePass. Oh and did I mention GamePass. GamePass.

PS Fanboy: Haha, superior console. Exclusives. I've had every Playstation, why change now? Exclusives. In the real word the Sony simply performs better, looks better, fewer issues. Sales figures. If you're poor get the XBox. Exclusives. Oh and did I mention the exclusives? Exclusives.

Serious adult folk: I'm above all this banter. I look down on you peasants and judge while secretly wishing I could get involved but it's too late now. I believe fanboys are fools, but also own 17 Apple devices and have only ever driven VWs. But that's because I've objectively analysed every single item so I'm definitely no fanboy. But I keep coming back to this thread cos I love all the comments.

PC Owners: well, who cares what those PC Peasants say, go check you email or something.

About right?
Think I'm a mix of 2 and 3 above.
Tis the season to be merry and make fun of ourselves people. Go buy what you want and enjoy it.
Just don't go get a raffle for one...

This is rather amusing considering it's the console with the most issues, not to mention disabled features etc.

I mean I don't even recall a single Xbox failure in this thread since launch? PS5's are falling over all over the place and if they aren't doing that then they are massively annoying with coil whine etc.

After the RROD I think MS are a bit more cautious this time around.

Yup, they definitely learnt a whole lot from that.

Well Sony too with their whole thermal paste fiasco.
...and the poor solder on the PS3 that only gave in after the warranty expired. Then you had to put it in the oven.

Not as big as MS though. I still had to pay for a new PS3 after my ylod. Whereas with my 3 year old 360 they replaced it.

Damn I think my 13 year old Ps3's warrantee expires next year so then it will give in
