Looking forward to it!

@shellcase86: Maybe it has changed but this is what Microsoft has said according to GameSpot.

Spencer disclosed that Microsoft subsidizes the production cost of a new Xbox by about $100 to $200 per console.

According to OP, MS said:

"The price of the components of a console aren’t coming down as fast as they have in previous generations."

It would be nice to get an update on this, as well as how MS thinks adding other stores will help them recuperate any loss on hardware sales.

@lavamelon: Yeah. It doesn't seem clear how letting people buy from Steam and EGS and GOG will help solve the problem Phil raised about MS having difficulty subsidizing Xbox hardware.

It seems like in order to recover the $100-$200 loss on every Xbox sold they may need to either lower the cost of the hardware by selecting more appropriate components, increase the price of the hardware, and/or tax the sales from Steam etc which could increase the price of games.

Don’t Expect PS5 Pro to Run GTA 6 at 60fps, Tech Experts Say - IGN

But according to Digital Foundry founder Rich Leadbetter, speaking in the latest episode ofDF Direct, the PS5 Pro’s CPU means GTA 6 will probably run at 30fps, assuming GTA 6 runs at 30fps on the standard PS5. Given no GTA game has launched with a 60fps option, this one seems nailed on.

ROFL it's bad enough PS5 vanilla version ran most current gen looking games like total trash (30 fps), now you're paying yet another $600 on top of that original $600 to still keep playing at a horrific eye destroying 30fps? Even 60 fps isn't that good anymore and I was expecting PS5:PRO to finally start reaching it at 4K (aka 1440p to 4k using a mid upscaler, lol).
