Why I regret buying an Xbox Series X

After originally owning the Series S I upgraded to the Series X, unfortunately I regret it, heres why

let me save your 14 mins... he's saying he wants exclusive games like playstation in xbox...thats it....your welcome...

In your own words: "Do I really want an XBOX? No. Do I really need an XBOX? No. But I feel like I work hard and I deserve it." In reality, since the day you stepped onto the XBOX Series platform, you have been trying to convince yourself that you need something you didn't really want, that's foolish logic. The next time you don't want something, don't buy it because you think you work hard and deserve it.

I don't know why anyone would ever want to sell their consoles like bruh didn't you get emotionally attached ?

Someone should probably tell him that the Series X is capable of 4k gaming while the Series S is more 1080p/1440p focused. The series X also runs more games at 60/120fps, even compared to the ps5, so I mean yes, performance justifies the price tag.

Owned every xbox since the original. I scored an XSX early after release. Big game pass fan as well. 2 years ago I finally built a mid/high end PC. I also scooped up a PS5 because I liked psvr and wanted a PSVR2 for their unique games when it comes out. I have found myself only playing either on my PC or the PS5. I sold my XSX just a few weeks ago. If you have a decent PC there is just no need, now I can also pay for the cheaper PC only game pass if I want. I'm not a kid tho and have money for these things, if I was not able to afford a nice PC the XSX is a killer value for high quality gaming experience.

I have a series S, and personally I thought about upgrading to the X and passing the series s to a friend…but I feel my best move may be to acquire a PS5 and keep the Series S. I’ll get the best of both worlds in terms of exclusives, and I’ll get those boosted graphics on PS5 in terms of better performance.

[josemanrique]

You're right the S is perfect for getting your Xbox fix, I personally prefer slightly better performance and graphics and like the all black design of the X, but the S gets the job done ✅

I’m very happy with my Series S, and I’ve been all about physical media before I got it. I do plan on getting a series X eventually, but I’ve just been playing digital games on my Xbox One most of the time because of Game Pass Ultimate. After thinking about it, I realized my physical library on Xbone was substantially smaller than my PS4 library or Switch library, so I didn’t really feel bad about getting the Series S and an external hard drive. Even though my 360 library was pretty big, I’ve been able to get a lot of my favorites on sale for like $3 each digitally. When the Series X becomes more available and becomes a bit cheaper, I’ll get one but for now I’m really enjoying my Series S

I started off late in the game by getting an Xbox One two years ago for £50 but recently after thinking long and hard I decided to get a Series S for £170. I liked the idea of faster load times and running the new titles on new architecture. I didn't go for the Series X because it costs a lot more and I would be running it on my current TV which is 1080p. It wouldnt have been worth doing unless I spent even more upgrading my TV which I dont really want to do.
For disc based games I still have the Xbox One, but saying that I have over 450 digital games on a 5TB portable drive. In a way it substitutes the Series X for me because I can play disc based and backwards compatible games. It also runs all the digital stuff straight from the portable hard drive. You can't do this with X/S optimised games. So by owning a One and Series S I kind of have the best of both worlds. After seeing your video I'm quite certain I would have felt the same as you if i had went for the Series X. I'd also have a lot less money in my pocket as well!
Thanks for uploading 👍

I think in the future the value of having the series x will grow exponentially, when you look at the number of studios Microsoft has been acquiring, and with fewer cross gen titles limiting Devs from using the full power of the next gen consoles.

[nulfater]

Blizzard/Activision, Bethesda and Zeni Max are studios owned by Microsoft. To say there won’t be any major first party Xbox games is kinda dumb to me

XSX is the perfect *single* gaming system. If you are limited on space and budget, and don't have a gaming PC, the XSX, or Xbox Series in general, is the best option IMO. Backwards compatibility down to the OG Xbox, Game Pass with tons of games, it's awesome.

However, if you intend to own multiple consoles or already have a gaming PC, the Xbox doesn't really provide much extra. It still allows you to play stuff from the 360 and OG era, whereas the PS5 is only compatible with PS4 titles and then some older stuff via streaming subscription, so that's the one benefit.

Bro I legit was considering buying a series x to go along with my switch and PS5 and I was watching YouTube videos and this video literally told me why I don’t need to buy it…thank you bro

[NastyNoble]

Well you have your opinion and it’s your choice. Both systems are great, it’s about choice and what fits the individual. Whatever the games you like most helps with picking a console but most gamers buy both if they can. Like I said it’s personal preference mostly about a console.

[Morenob]

I actually regret buying both Switch, XSX and PS5 since I bought a RTX 4080 laptop.

[Sptz]

As someone on a budget the series s is great game pass makes it really great especially with the deals u can get and just using external hard drives are a better option because transferring games is better than paying half the price of the console for the ssd so yeah if u have more money maybe get the series x but it just depends on ur situation

[RomelMalcolm]

Dude this video was an awkward take but. To each it’s own. I’d rather pay $15 a month and get AAA first party games for day of release than to pay $60-70 for a PS5 title. Maybe it’s just me.

[Danny.Thompson]

I sold mine cos I was sick of the size of the game installs, But I regretted it and bought a new one again!

[thefxrsaken]

I've had the series s since Christmas the year it came out. I saw a series x in person for the first time ever at my Walmart yesterday. I had gotten a 1tb seagate for my series s. So I knew I could sell my series s and my seagate or just keep the seagate and use it. I've had it for less than a day and I can say, the processing power and graphics are almost night and day. I love both xbox's but the series x is just a masterpiece

[desirewithinus]

sold mine few months ago.
don't miss it a bit.
was collecting dust since i finally got my ps5. Lucky for me I didn't lose any money since these were still difficult to get.
