  • People have been saying these things since 2020 and it has convinced me that people in online gaming forums are out of touch.

    Here’s my argument against the Series X though:

    • It has nothing I can’t play on my PC. Even though Sony has started releasing their games on PC, their ports usually come years later. I don’t hold this against Microsoft though, I’m more than happy to play games like Halo on PC instead of buying another console.

    • Sony console exclusives are better and more numerous than Xbox exclusives. This has been the case since the Xbox One.

    • The DualSense is a way cooler controller. I’m pretty miffed that the Xbox controller still doesn’t have a gyroscope, When utilized properly a gyroscope makes aiming in shooters a lot easier.

    So the way I see it, there isn’t much reason to buy a Series X beyond its awesome backwards compatibility.


  • The bigger problems Apple has are their enterprise device and user management, and the fact that many businesses are still reliant on Windows-only software.

    Most companies I’ve worked for buy machines that usually aren’t much cheaper than Apple equivalents, at least in terms of MSRP, despite the quality often being worse. My work-provided 2022 HP Z-Book 15 is more expensive as configured than my personal M2 14" MacBook Pro, and is still a shittier machine in just about every objective (and subjective) way I can think of. This is because enterprises typically buy business class laptops like Lattitudes and ThinkPads rather than lower cost (and less durable) consumer oriented machines. That said, it is not uncommon for IT departments at large enterprises to pay well under MSRP for these machines when buying in bulk.
