I've heard the pricing of Microsoft's new (low end) game console might be popular in the UK/Internationally due to it's pricing, especially compared to what PS is going to be offering. Anyone overseas have an opinion on this? Will this get some PC gamers onto consoles? Will this get PS users to switch to Xbox?

Sounds very competitive compared to the PS5. But what about the games, will games for XBox also cost 80€? This is such a rip off for the European consumers compared to Asia or North America. If the won't make the games cheaper for us I will not be buying the new console. In my opinion the PS4 is still a good console, better to wait until next year for some lower prices.

Xbox has Game Pass where you get access to tons of games for a low monthly fee. Microsoft has also been buying studios to ensure exclusive games going forward. Superior hardware, deeper pockets, better online network, more exclusive studios... Xbox clearly has some major advantages over Playstation. While I will never understand the move to give Mixer to Facebook, which was another huge advantage over Playstation, it's clear this generation belongs to Microsoft.

With just over a month until the new system is out, I'm getting excited. I sure hope there are some built-in surprises for streaming that could cut down on the need for a separate PC to handle things like overlays, camera effects, and alerts.
