Microsoft Dropped A Ton Of News Today – Xbox Game Pass, Series X And More…

We've been in an annoyingly quiet patch for next-gen news as of late. Sony and Microsoft have been playing a game of chicken leading to some frustration from gamers around the globe. That is until yesterday when an unfortunate leak led to Microsoft having to commit to the news of the Xbox Series S. They've followed that up twofold today though with some genuinely amazing announcements. Not only has the price and date of the Xbox Series X been confirmed, but we've also had news about Xbox Game Pass and some of the launch titles on the horizon. The Xbox Series X... First revealed during the Video Game Awards in December 2019, news trickled out at a decent pace for the Xbox Series X. That is until lately when things had become eerily quiet; likely exacerbated by the delay of Halo Inf...

A Leak Forced Microsoft’s Hand – The Xbox Series S Lands 10th November!

If you've been following my articles you'll know I am getting quite frustrated with the Microsoft's and Sony's game of chicken. Unfortunately for Microsoft they've had to suddenly confirm the existence of the Xbox Series S after an unfortunate leak. Now the cynic in me does wonder if this was a genuine leak, or part of the messaging... but that's a conversation for another day. Either way we now have our first details about a date and price for one of these next gen machines! What was announced... The Lockhart has finally been revealed, with the name Xbox Series S. This comes after many leaks, rumours and even official packaging claiming there is an Xbox Series S. It's also launching at $299/£250, which is an incredibly good price. Whilst specifications aren't fully know just yet it'...

Sony, Microsoft – You Know It’s September Right? Any Next Gen News?

When will we hear more about the next generation? You may have seen me summarise the next-gen news for 2020 recently. If not please go check out my post comparing what we know about the 2 next gen machines... At the time of writing it is the 1st September 2020. It is very much now 2-3 months from when some of us will be expecting to lay down a still as of yet undetermined amount of money to buy some new machines. My previous feature talked about the different approaches for each company; Microsoft adopting more of a drip feed of information, whilst Sony adopted the more traditional big bang of news. Now however, we're another major gaming event down (Gamescom 2020) and we're still no closer to finding out anything about the launch of these machines. I am the type of person that g...

PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X? Apples vs Oranges? What Does The Next Gen Bring…

We're now pretty deep into 2020 and with that we've had some news on the next generation of console gaming, however we still don't actually know much about the launches themselves. What we do know however is that both Microsoft and Sony are adopting very different approaches to the next generation and as a multi-platform owner I find that exciting. Often during these times it's interesting following the hype and the build up of the new machines and that's something I personally follow quite closely. What I aim to do here is summarising some key facts that differentiate the 2 companies and speculate about what this could mean moving forward; but by no means is this meant to be a comprehensive list. With events expected in August from both Sony and Microsoft as part of GamesCom it's in...
