Feel bad for all the people that preordered ps5. Enjoy Miles Morales I guess. Lol.

It's not like any Bethesda games are launching any time soon..

Both systems are launching with jack shit.

Will be interesting to see if Sony gobbles up a big dev as a shot back.

Sony doesn’t have that kind of money, and I agree it won’t impact the launch, but if you’re a one console consumer, buying a ps5 probably isn’t the smart move right now if you like bethesda games.

You can just play them on PC via gamepass...

Yeah, if you have a nice PC. The amount of people having a beefy PC and wanting an XSX or PS5 are slim.

Just playing devils advocate.

Fallout

Well, let's hope they don't fuck up Elder Scrolls 6 or a next Fallout.

i game on just about everything, but last gen ended up selling the ps4. I think Microsoft is knocking it out of the park with gamepass. Now with Bethesda in the mix, that will bring even more value.

Why should I even buy a new xbox right away? What good racing/shooting games are even coming out this year?

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

i don't think there is that much really, halo was delayed. Destiny 2 which is my game of choice will be getting added to game pass and upgraded to 4k 60fps, forza is getting updated. Dirt 5 comes out...
