Xbox games are going to be widely, if not wholely, available on pc, which is stealing market share from consoles. Playstation still has a very loyal base, and a myriad of exclusives.Bonfire1996 said:

That XBox set up, with two versions both with monthly payable plans, and a cloud based strategy, is a straight up Sony PlayStation killer. It's over.

Oh yeah, it's definitely a good move. It's just not a death knell to PS. They both need to continue to innovate to stay competitive.tailgatetimer10 said:
The big push around the cheaper unit, is that it is more affordable to have another area to play games at in your house. With Microsoft gamepass, its a really good option.
So far, this is nearly identical to what happened 3 months ago. Did we retest a support level back then before rocketing higher?CPDAggie10 said:

Can someone explain why these gaming companies haven't completely partnered with the Roku and Amazon Fire TV and all the smart TV's go completely get rid of the physical console? It seems like it would cut expenses down in a big way where people only have to purchase the controller. It would be a nice partnership for all involved...khaos288 said:Xbox games are going to be widely, if not wholely, available on pc, which is stealing market share from consoles.

Very few will buy a PC+Xbox because there will be no added benefit. Plenty of people will buy PC+Playstation.
The hardware is a huge barrier. Amazon fire and roku hardware can stream 4k from the net, but processing that is an oceans leap away.Aggiesincebirth said:Can someone explain why these gaming companies haven't completely partnered with the Roku and Amazon Fire TV and all the smart TV's go completely get rid of the physical console?

Ok thank you for explaining. I wondered that as soon as I saw Peleton on the Roku app. I know it is in a way different, but seemed like it had some similarities. That would be huge for all of the involved parties. Very huge.khaos288 said:The hardware is a huge barrier.

Most smart tv apps you can put on your console, but not vise versa for that reason.
Stadia has tried that but it hasn't caught on. Especially the online gaming (think Call of Duty) where you're relying on the internet/cloud to make use of your inputs in the controller. Too much lag. Once they can get the hardware to process it fast enough and eliminate that lag they'll be on to something.Aggiesincebirth said:Can someone explain why these gaming companies haven't completely partnered with the Roku and Amazon Fire TV and all the smart TV's go completely get rid of the physical console?

Can you expand? Everything I know is the exact opposite. Way easier to get auto aim on PC, and a plethora of other mods that somehow get through anti cheat. Also keyboard and mouse are a huge upgrade over controllers for most games. I've never heard of PC players using controllers for anything other than casual games, where otherwise the support is poor.TheVarian said:
PC's don't have the auto aim features that consoles have also and a lot of PC players now use controllers.

When I bought the most recent Call of Duty, it was an over 100GB download and took up almost half the storage on my console. That is another issue is the storage capacity. New models are expected to be 500GB or 1TB standard I believe.TecRecAg said:Stadia has tried that but it hasn't caught on.

How do I invest in memory for these consoles now that games are 8 TB each with a new update coming out 5 times a day?
RAM and SSDs are pretty cheap nowadays, but if you're expecting a big spike, you can invest in rare earth mining companies or the like. When SSDs and RAM were super expensive, it was material cost that really spiked and drove the price up.gig em 02 said:

I invested in SQM over 5 years ago as a lithium play, and it has been a performance laggard. Is there a rare earth or other battery component company that looks like a good investment to take advantage of the EV boom? I feel like I should have more in play in this sector.khaos288 said:RAM and SSDs are pretty cheap nowadays, but if you're expecting a big spike, you can invest in rare earth mining companies or the like.
