I'm in the other camp. I've had every system from both other than the OG Xbox, and Playstation has killed them every generation, with the only close one being the 360. But the reality is that now there is absolutely zero reason for me to own a Series X, even though I got one anyways, because I have a PC. There is nothing on the X that I cant access elsewhere and run better.
In terms of pure hardware comparisons, PS3 killed 360 across the board. Superior power and performance and a blu-ray player. Not to mention the god awful prevalence of the RRoD. Xbox One was more powerful than PS4, but the advantage translated to jack shit because PS4 ended up with games that looked and played better than anything on Xbox One even with the lesser power they had to do it. Xbox Series X is again more powerful, and again, what do they have to show for it? Nothing. The only real win for Xbox imo is their online service/gamepass. It is clearly the better service and has been, and they should be proud of that. But I don't need their console to access that so what's the point?
I keep getting these Xboxes and in the end they collect more dust than any other electronic device in my house. I have 3 kids and between them they might touch the Series X once every month or 2. They have no interest in it, even with gamepass. Every one of them would take a playstation or a switch over the Xbox every single time. And I'm just over here playing anything Xbox releases on my PC with superior performance to the console versions. If they continue with the requirement that all their games release on Windows as well into the next gen then I've already bought my last xbox console. I'm not going to buy another 4-500 dollar paperweight.
