No I get sales wise Simon, was just saying I haven’t seen anything that’s making me think I must buy one yet.

Oh no there isn't really anything yet, that really says buy me. And honestly apart from looking prettier we probably are another 18-24 months off "real" next gen games at the very least. But this is both a testament to how good the PS4/Xbone were and the inevitable slowing down of dev time etc as well as game complexity.

Yep that’s my feeling too.

Nintendo always ends up being my most played console.

That's it Melton, I grabbed GamePass Ultimate because it's a dollar/pound for 3 months, I installed Flight Sim that have wanted to play for a while and played it for a couple of hours, have since uninstalled it cos I don't really have time to play it. The only game I might install is BF4 cos it's there - but even then it's not a guarantee due to me wanting to play other things, but for a few pounds a month although I won't fully utilize atm it's good to have

Simon, have you tried gamepass via cloud yet? Saw the announcement, interested to see if its actually useable yet.

Not available here yet - tried with a VPN and Forza looked like a NES game

But I will admit that was pretty impressive still, if they can push it out that will be pretty incredible

Ah where are you based? I’m assuming the bandwidth requirement is pretty high, might try it on my office network as we’ve got a dedicated line!

Im in Brasil buddy, so yeh the ping and bandwidth need to pretty high. But with no local servers atm its impossible, cos I believe its still in beta in moist places

Saw something related to Battlefield 2042 being named an 'official Xbox game' earlier, although not an exclusive, what does this mean? Just that it will be on the gamepass or something, but still available to Playstation gamers? If so, what's the point?

Think it’s probably exclusive content or future development stuff.

Usually, this just means they will do most of the advertising and propaganda on this system and then maybe an exclusive skin or something, but nothing more than that.
