If this carries on for the next generation consoles, then it'd be awesome to have either this or its PlayStation counterpart.
Microsoft's Next-Gen Xbox is Already Secretly Among Us...

Microsoft have released several unique games, though admittedly not a package delivery simulator yet. I've played Death Stranding to completion, and I think it's a) a thoroughly dull experience critics are straining to praise because of it's creator, b) a monument to Kojima's ego, and c) not nearly as smart and revolutionary as it likes to think it is (like most Kojima stories). If it worked for you though, that's cool. Methodically chucking bags of blood and urine at goo ghosts is one of the least fun experiences I had in a game in 2019, personally.
Game Pass is certainly a big part of Microsoft's future, though I don't think it has anything to do with a "safe" or "bold" strategy. They are simply focusing on getting back to the core experience, much like Sony did after the PS3 - a powerful machine, at an attractive price, with a bunch of good games to play on it (they hope). They spent the first half of this generation getting stomped on for having a less powerful machine (ie. only running games at 900p that the PS4 could run at 1080p) for a higher price, and the latter half getting stomped on for not having narrative-driven triple-A exclusives to match your Gods of War and Spider-mans. They want to erase those narratives.
2021 or 2022 comes around, then maybe you look at new hardware peripherals, or supporting PC VR headsets, or whatever, if the demand is there.

Sorry to hear you didnt like it. Of course this game is not for everyone. Maybe The Last of Us 2 will be more your cup of tea. Thats just another example what kind of games Sony is publishing this generation.

Looking forward to this for sure! I have such a huge back log of great games on my Xbox One X which I can also play on Scarlett. Sadly, only a couple good games on my PS4 Pro, GT Sport being one of them. I will get a PS5 for GT Sport/God of War/Uncharted, but otherwise it never gets used.

But there will be a new GT coming in the future for the PS5, which I hope will be miles better than GT Sport.
I hope the same for Forza as well once a new game comes for the new Xbox.

This was a biggest surprise in game awards. The name and console itself look really bad IMO. Looks like a huge speaker or egpu that these days laptop with thunderbolt3 can be used with but this one is vertical instead.
One advantage could be that upgrading storage and may be even ram would be like a PC ?

You'll most likely be able to change the SSD, but with the RAM likely being apart of the SoI package, you won't be changing that, nor would it make any sense. The design (which I'm not a fan of at the moment) likely has more to do with thermal design than anything else. I will give Microsoft credit for one thing though: the design is different in the console space. I never would have expected this.

Name is a bit silly, "Series" makes me think of the Apple Watch 
But personally, I love the way it looks. The controller's refinements looks subtle but nice too, most obvious changes are the d-pad and addition of a share button... but it's supposedly slightly smaller as well, and it looks like the triggers are textured.
Probably not gonna get it at launch though, unless Sony really screws the pooch with their system.

Console looks dope as hell. The name I'm less sure of, simply because it might be confusing to some people.

I use my 1X in my front room on a 55" 4K tv, I don't get a lot of time to use it but it's quick & convenient when I do.
I mainly play pc2 & sometimes I'll unfold my rig instead of using the controller & the kids play a few game pass games now & then.
A console is perfect over a pc for me even if it costs £500, it's still small enough compared to a pc & it's still cheap enough compared to what you have to pay for a decent pc & it's supposed to be quiet aswell.
As @Jezza819 says, there's the plug & play aspect for the kids & there's no way I'd have some huge noisy pc in my front room.
A pc is just that, a personal computer, for you alone in a room, it's not a family machine.
However saying all this, if I had a spare room in my house I probably would have a powerful pc & rig permanently set up for sim racing only.

just like the controller too. Xbox Elite Series 1, Xbox Elite Series 2. Just like Apple Watch, and iPhone as well.Name is a bit silly, "Series" makes me think of the Apple Watch
