We are gonna get Dell model Xbox consoles soon. The 3DO is shedding tears of joy from the grave.

[@MetalGreggNY75]

I’m a physical media guy…I’m also a huge music fan that still buys CDs. Having intangible media…is like owning a burned homemade copy of a music album….it cool…but seeing the album sleeve reading the the liner notes got me hooked….

[@commonsense8909]

I agree. I feel the same about physical movies. Something about reading, seeing the artwork, and holding it that you can't replace. I switched to digital music when DRM was finally dropped on digital storefronts many years ago just due to convenience. I just wished physical games had all the fixes in when pressed and no DRM on consoles.

[@friendlyninja5048]

You can also rip CDs and copy the tracks to your phone or something and have the best of both worlds (as long as you have the space for it)

[@dmarshall5148]

Right on man, I’m the same way 🤘

[@NeoRambler]

I'm sorry to hear about your childhood home and your mom's home being on fire. As long as you are alright and any immediate family is fine then it could be worse! Keep making the great content dude! 👍

[@cotesteph]

Personally, what I love is the backward compatibility / 4k upgrades to old games that led me to buy a Series X. I love collecting old physical copies of xbox/360 games that were upgraded to their best versions, yet can be found pretty cheap. i prefer spending 70$ on like 13 old games than buying a new one for the same price.

[@EthnicWeeb]

Good to see you mentioned Japan's renewed interest in Xbox, as that's honestly been the most interesting development for me. I recall brainstorming a few things I would change about Microsoft's strategy regarding the Xbox Series (relaxing content guidelines, adding more Japanese games, and mobile phones and public transport), but I admit it never occurred to me that the Series S model was a really good fit for Japanese gamers. Why, you ask? It's for the same reason they don't buy the PS5: space (or a lack thereof). The Series S is powerful enough to satisfy the market who wants to play the newest games (via Game Pass), while also being compact enough to fit in a small city apartment. Based on the numbers I've seen, I think the PS5 is going to outsell the Xbox no matter what Microsoft does. However, I predict the Xbox will see a very consistent amount of growth over the next few years. If they make the necessary changes I've outlined, then they will tap into the hyper-consumer/otaku market basically overnight, which would be a good thing for them. But as of now, I'm pretty impressed.

[@Klippenschubser]

Thank you Adam for your take as always. Very interesting with the 2008 economics crisis and the PS3 and XBOX 360.

Great video, I don’t own an Xbox, but Adam always has something worth hearing when he talks about the gaming industry.

[@HedgehogY2K]

23:45 didn't only the original xbox one get an actual Kinect? The one x can't use the Kinect without a connector for it.

[@AdamKoralik]

Yes but it does work. The same USB device doesn't function on the Series X.

[@dmj1419]

Dude you're literally the Goat at talking about video games.

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

The problem will come in the pricing. Once Microsoft owns most studios, they will keep raising the cost of game pass.

[@IMDLEGEND]

I agree. I hope that when it happens that they offer an annual plan that is overall much cheaper, similar to what PlayStation does with their PlayStation plus tiers.

[@SIPEROTH]

@@MichaelM28 Not only Game Pass is a Trojan Horse that will start going up at price when they got the hold on the market they wish but also it is useless. Sure if you own no game and you just got a console first time trying to get into games then Game Pass might seem fine to pay a little to have some collection of games to get your teeth into. BUT let's be honest when you have so many games you barely enjoy much. You just try one a little then the other etc. Is not the same as actually buying a game and looking to get your money's worth and digging into it to find the joy in it and finding some good things you never expected.

[@natas12rm]

@@MichaelM28 pushing Sony out of gaming? But but all those exclusives...

[@turntprophet7960]

They can get all the studios they want. Microsoft is terrible when it comes to releasing great games. What have the released that’s a must-play on the Series X? Indie studios will keep popping up.

[@alephansenlightenment8307]

The anniversary video!! ❤️

[@thekidzcantfathom]

Series X was my first ever Xbox purchase. I was never into Xbox, but the more I heard about Game Pass and hardware specs, the more interested I became in the console. Not only do I feel like it can keep up with PS5--spec wise, not to mention more readily available than the PS5--- it seemed like the more consumer friendly purchase. I get a lot of mileage out of the system. I don't see a need for a PS5 at the moment (even if I could purchase one at retail price).

[@joehelm2522]

Can you play old Xbox games on this

[@joehelm2522]

Can you tell me

[@thekidzcantfathom]

@@joehelm2522 it depends on the title. If there's a game in particular that you desire to play, I'd look it up online first to see if it's possible.

[@pcharl01]

I mean if many more physical games are essentially a boot disc for downloading the actual game, what would be the point of the optical drive at that point?

[@AdamKoralik]

That's the great debate in a nutshell.

[@PakluPapito]

I think the Series S availability is down to an easier manufacturing process and smaller SoC vs the big consoles and not due to lack of sales. Can't call it a failure if it outsells the series x and ps5.

[@zamiryusof8239]

I'm glad Xbox take a different approach than PS5, because I'm not a huge fan of spending money on expensive controllers and new games. Coming from PC gaming, there's joy from playing old games that I played before, on new hardware with improved performance. Besides, as working adult I don't have much time for gaming so every games released from the past few years are still relatively new experience for me.

[@sneharashmi7553]

XBox Series X had my interest as a potential purchase for this generation of gaming, but this video of yours has got me concerned that I might never buy an XBox console. Sony deactivated the CBomb via backdoor which while not being professional, is still a commendable job coz at the end of the day, gamers get to play their games offline as long as their consoles last. I was waiting for Microsoft to follow suit but when you said how Microsoft keeps stuffing your face with GamePass Advertisements, that would probably never happen. Thank God we have GOG on Windows, which I think is CDPR's best work to date. I understand your pain & longing for physical discs; even I thought the same, but the fact is that the disc would never have the latest improvement patches & some releases are only digital, so as long as we have offline access to all our content, I'm personally fine. Great video as always! PS:- It would be awesome to see 4 TB SSDs in the future versions of these consoles. I feel that this gen would decide whether we move on to 120 fps in next gen ...

[@Mr.C723]

YES!! It’s that time of year again!!

[@ninetendopesaitama2107]

So the ps5 is a ps4 pro pro? Sorry but to say the series x is just a update from xone is quite wrong. Its even more up to date (having the full rdna 2)than the ps5.

[@InfectedJello]

[@vinniecorleone62]

Quite enjoyable Adam, thank you for your take on the new Xbox system!

[@super88cloud]

Been watching since 2015, cant believe its been so many years

[@echosierra9990]

The Series X is a very utilitarian console, that just works. Per your point though, pretty much every PS5 console game is also made for the PS4.

[@trevormorgan9084]

I think the new generation as a whole has had a rather lackluster two years of existence. We all know that both the Xbox One and PS4 took until 2015-2017 to really start blowing out exciting worthwhile titles on a consistent basis, so it's still rather early in the new generation to judge it entirely (not saying that you are), so I'm hopeful that the next 2-3 years to come is where we really start to see some heavy hitters on a much more consistent basis. Hard to say for certain, though... But truthfully, at this point, I'm much more invested in what Nintendo's next endeavor is going to be than what Microsoft or Sony are going to do with this current generation. I say "at this point" as it could change as new things emerge from all three angles in the coming years, but as much as I love my Xbox 360 and Series S, Nintendo is where I aim my focus in the grand scheme of it all..

[@BRZ_Shift]

I have been loving my Series S and gamepass, recently went back to pc and it's still impressive that the S can do things like quick resume which blows my pc out of the water. And 120fps being a thing is awesome! I do want a series X but I wish they had more physical presence and backwards compatibility with more games, I'd like to play some OG Xbox games like project Gotham racing and some 360 games i missed out on by growing up a Playstation and Nintendo guy. I kinda wish they just let us have free reign of those emulators they use on the X so that it really could be the ultimate xbox. About to go watch some of your backwards compatibility videos just to cling on to hope.

[@Whenitraveltheworld]

As a big Xbox fan I do like the eco System. I'm a big series S user at home, mainly due to the low amount of watts it uses during gameplay, so its a fraction of the cost of run compared to my series X, and as the cost of electric is just a disaster right now that helps the bills a bit. But I'm happy they are at least still going. Thanks again Adam, Enjoy Japan.

Very nice having you back to doing these 😁. Also, didn't expect you getting into the end of the unipolar/start of the multipolar world order.

[@FSAPOJake]

I'm interested if you're going to talk about the PC in the PlayStation 5 2-year video. I know Sony has been doing PC ports since last year, but this year, and especially the second half, they have been putting boat loads of games on PC, even major ones like Uncharted, Spider-Man, and The Last of Us. Even current gen only games. I'm curious about your thoughts on that - why Sony's doing it VS why Microsoft is doing it, the difference in their approaches, etc, what it might mean for the future of PlayStation, etc.

[@Cookiedon15]

I consider the 360 and PS3 the last "Physical" gaming console, even though games could be downloaded on them. The next 2 generations made me question if I should buy the consoles (and I did buy some) or just wait for PC releases. I understand the PS4 and XBox One still had physical games, but they had to download to your system rather than read off the disc like older systems. The advantage, I guess, is less stress on the disc reader. As for the Xbox Monopoly, I see how they still develop Minecraft on other platforms so I don't see that being any different with Activision.

[@Creative_Welshman]

They said the same thing with the Bethesda buyout and that was walked back to Legacy games and the 2 games sony had a contract with, all new Bethesda games are Xbox only

[@TraumfresserBMofficial]

The sad thing is that current gen systems CAN be physical but the devs choose to be lazy and release half assed games taking full advantage (in a bad way) of a concept that was originally intended to improve games, you know updates? But rather than that they see a lazy way out and you and I are forced to suffer. Get it out before Christmas we can always fix it later.... 2 years later Cyberpunk 2077 is finally playable...ish.

[@Creative_Welshman]

@@TraumfresserBMofficial Sony and Nintendo put those lazy Devs to shame with their high quality output in recent years

[@ak2112]

I think I want one. I'm still on the One S. But, I'm also tempted by PS5 so I can play all the PS4 stuff I missed out on last gen. Tough decision.

[@theonetruedavis9203]

Great video as always Adam. Been watching for years I love the chanel.

[@AfterBurnerTeirusu]

I believe they only mention "digital copies of rare replay" because the disc is out of print.

[@SPONGEBOB20]

I think an interesting point to supplement what you have said about Microsoft's strategy and the Series X not having as much of a "Soul" also applies to the PS5, but more mildly. The PS5 comparatively speaking does not have as many "true" exclusives that also aren't on PS4, outside of Demon's Souls, Returnal, and Ratchet and Clank. Yes this will change, and yes the controller features are definitely next gen, and yes the UI has been updated and isn't just a beefed up PS4 completely, but the cross gen games and less of a "jump" are definitely felt there as of now. I feel like consoles as a whole are becoming more streamlined and just updates to their more recent hardware. I wonder if Nintendo will release a "Super Switch" which is literally the same thing with full backwards compatibility, but same UI and an updated chipset inside.

[@RSk3pt1c]

Gamepass is one of the reasons Jim Ryan is trying to block the Microsoft Activision deal he knows once Call of Duty becomes day 1 free on Gamepass no one will pay $70 to get it on PS5 also if I'm not mistaken SONY made a deal with Capcom to prevent their games from coming to Gamepass for at least a year after launch

Such an intriguing episode Adam! I absolutely agree with all your talking points.

[@iempire100]

I love xbox but I hate what MS is doing to gaming. Gamepass is ok but I either own the games worth playing or I have no desire to play the rest. I just want the AAA games that take advantage of the X. It needs God of War caliber games. They obviously can't do it internally so they are buying whoever they can. Whatever, just bring the games.

[@omo7002]

9:48 I believe the console port of crusader kings 3 is also only on current gen hardware

[@topshelfgaming9093]

This is why i like Adam... he calls it as it is from a gamer standpoint 35 years old and you have been there from pretty much the beginning of gaming being popular with NES going forward! i also know... same age hahaha! not saying Atari wasn't or ColecoVision/Intelivision wasn't but gaming really started getting popular with NES and Sega.. But i agree with him 100% and i love my Xbox Series X to!! but its a true analysis of the actual console and what its about... Good video Adam! and pretty much on the point with everything i have noticed and have observed from how the Series X has gone in the past 2 years!

[@SuperHyphyOne]

There are several games that I can think of off the top of my head that are either specific to the Series X | S or have a physical copy that is Series X only. The ones that I own are Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, Microsoft Flight Simulator, King of Fighters XV, Grand Theft Auto V, and WWE 2K22.

I'll be honest, I always came for the Dreamcast videos. Also Shenmue, I thought we'd never get a part 3. I actually liked all your Sega videos, I'm a Sega fanboy like yourself. I did enjoy many of your older videos, the Panasonic GameCube and PSX video. Oh and the Dreamcast TV, I remember the story about how you came to get it.

[@justice4all72]

Hit the nail on the head with how I've been feeling as a day 1 OG xbox fan. It's hard to love what they've been doing with the systems because they feel like moderate upgrades to the horrible xbox one OS. It doesn't stand out on its own, booting up my series x on day one sucked because it was exactly what I had with the xbox one X. It needs to feel unique, it has to potential hoping it changes soon

[@Leesin6767]

You can thank Satya Nadella for this lol, he is the cloud/services guy. Don't get me wrong I understand his direction, but I don't have to like it. I'd take 1 Xbox OG with it's unique feel over a million Xbox Series PC'S lol, but as a box to play games on, it is a good machine. I do think consoles as we knew them back in the day is over though. Glad you are doing OK dude.

[@TheLastLineLive]

Series X are actually very easy to find in stores now, they are regularly at the store I work at and we got about 40 in the back, no joke. But yeah the first 20+ months or so were kind of ridiculous. And yeah it's about game pass, and I would imagine because they said they lose between $100-200 per console on Series S and X that they would be tickled if someone played on PC and subscribed to Game Pass there instead. Cuz then they can just collect the checks instead of having to pay out.

[@RiderNexus]

I've been honestly getting more out of my Xbox than my PS5 ever since I bought them I've played four games on the PS5 and I haven't touched it since the start of the year, probably won't until Spider-Man 2 But ever since I found out about how I can emulate games on Series X? It's become my gaming BEAST

[@josecarlos11]

[@politicalfisticuffs9531]

The Series S is more of a delivery system for Gamepass. To play the latest games in the highest quality, you need this serious console. Also if you're into game preservation, PC is where it's at. There are fully patched and cracked versions of games that are easily available and they'll never go away.

I borrow games at my library and I got my xbox:sx from my friend with a headset & extra controller all for $350(canadian pesos), also found a used 1tb card for $130. I only have a gamecube, ps3 and PC for so long that this is my only Xbox and it's way better than PC for just gaming with borrowing games at the library for free, my secret from the streets. I hope the xbox engineers team keep that blu-ray drive for all the new series, because us og gamers still need physical media to share and borrow, since some libraries also provide them to citizens as part of a free luxury from town or city taxes and donations. Now if only SNK could make a new freedom loving console from that saudi prince money they got lol.

[@nightwingnl5354]

The thing with the disk drive is I think they will eventually sell digital only consoles with the disk drive as an add-on and then attach it with usb

[@lordeilluminati]

I think it is a mistake though because it opens security breaches. If anyone could disassemble the disc unit and/or connect to a computer they could figure it out how to pirate software and neither Microsoft nor any publisher wants this

Ive been talking about this for a while good call

[@JohnVmc2]

Not very precise bout Series S success, the console was hugely avaliable cause they printed way more chips (the DI is half the size of the Series X, so you can produce the double of units and have much more supply), and also ignored how it's doing really well in third world countries and even in japan.

[@AdamKoralik]

I believe I specifically said the Xbox is doing better in Japan than people think, but cool, cherry pick all you want.

[@Galo994]

Its obvious to see that Xbox studios were not ready for the next gen. A very slow trickle of exclusives for the Xbox/PC ecosystem. Hopefully 2023 will have more games from Xbox Studios.

[@commonsense8909]

Hi Adam. I always look forward to these videos. I do have some feedback on what you said here however. The xbox series x not having a lot of dedicated software is also applicable to ps5, even though it's to a lesser degree but that's largely because of covid-19 and inflation costs so it's made most games have to be cross generational. Only mentioning that because you make it sound like that's an xbox specific issue (perhaps you'll clarify that in the ps5 anniversary video). The comment about the xbox series s is debatable. It could be available to purchase in stores due to less demand, which might be true or that due to the chip demand it's easier to find parts and produce. The comments about xbox series x just feeling like a slightly better xbox one x is true. I felt that too when i got my series x but that's also been Microsoft's message that they wanted to make xbox be more like a mobile phone than you can upgrade and your stuff carries over. I would say that's a huge benefit to gamers. No need to losing things when upgrading your console or have to buy new controllers, in contrast to ps5 (ds 4 doesn't work with ps5 games, which was a bummer for me). Overall, Microsoft going more digital is concerning to me as well, though I feel that way about movie industry and PS too.

[@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96]

I feel like the fact that it's hard to get a PS5 and Xbox series X it's a good thing because remember how long the 360 and the PS3 generation lasted a lot of that had to do with the economic crisis of 2008 so I feel like because of that this console generation is going to be long which is good in that means you don't have to buy a new piece of hardware in 5 years because remember back in the day you got a new console every 5 years

[@DoctorMinjinx]

[@vinniecorleone62]

"Destroy All Humans 2" you can purchase & play only on the newer Series-X or S but not on any XB1 system, there probably is a few more. I will never use Game Pass either, I prefer owning my games & not rent them, I've never rented a game in my life.

[@xDethax]

spencer announced that they've gotten everyone to subscribe on console that wants to subscribe, and it will maintain a ~15% revenue for the console, which means to me they'll have to do more orthodox console gaming stratagem while also pushing game pass on pc, phones, tv, etc.

[@ODDiSEE_]

I still don't know if I like this generation or not yet. I know the cocid years screwed up alot, but even beyond that, very few games get me hype outside of first party exclusives. Evil west and calisto protocol are the two new IPs I'm most excited for

[@AdAce21]

modern games are so massive and get so many patches, having the physical disc isn't much more than an unlock code nowadays. I still buy some physical games for my SX, but only when I can get it much cheaper than the digital version. I LOVE the Xbox ecosystem, since I have essentially 3 console generations of games on one system. And gamepass just can't be beat
