I’ve had every Xbox console, thanks so much for the link. The nostalgia. The feels. ☹ I could cry lol. Low gamerscore because I’m such a picky princess with games. I’m surprised to see Wildlands on there but I loved that game. Breakpoint… no. ![NG9jMk7R2cb5](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/c/6cb6801f4e2e634317238ba5722355148c6e9e28.jpeg) ![XBmuseum](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/e/3/e3a9ed124a2a04846dd8d40a79e3ed18762ec334.jpeg) ![XbMuseum2](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/3/13dfdbfbc654c2eabb66fcc1cbb862cab9180175.jpeg) ---

Yeah I know it’s a video from IGN, but if you happen to be a racing game fan and have half an hour to spare, I recommend watching this one: [![](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/8/18b469bd410fb5bb9a0bdc70136dc0541937aaad.jpeg "How Forza Keeps Proving the Power of Xbox") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asgi7mDbBrg) It’s more about how technically the Forza series has improved over generations, but I do think racing titles are usually one of the best to represent how much power a gaming console can handle, with aspects like visuals, AI counts, cars & tracks counts, dynamic weather, etc. Well, have fun watching! 😁 ---

I love how a PS player posted this in the Xbox thread… I hate the console wars. This gives me hope. And Forza is amazing. I still need to get Gran Turismo if I can ever shake my HITMAN addiction. ---

> [@ColdDayInHell](#): > > I love how a PS player posted this in the Xbox thread… Strange, I recall there was an Xbox player posted in the PS thread a few months back too, saying Forza is better than GT. I wonder who that was. 🙃 Anyway, I agree with you. There is no need for any player to hate or be negative towards the rival console. We all made our choices based on preferences and/or budgets, so it is fine as long as people are having fun and happy about their choices, I think. I am not so sure about you getting a PS5 and GT7 though, Coldy, considering the Year 2 announcement of H3 and the next _Forza Motorsport_ game in 2022. You sure you can handle that much? 😂 I am looking forward to what you can come up with new SONKO challenges in upcoming maps though. ---

Ugh. You’re right. Who am I kidding. I’m pretty excited about new maps but I’ve been getting burnt out even worse than before from HITMAN. That doesn’t stop me though. I do see my play time reducing in the coming months. Anyway, FH5 looks and plays incredible on Series X. ---

In what universe is their any justification in Xbox prices going up whilst all their exclusives are coming to PS. I’ve got friends who have been staunch Xbox fans since the 360 days and even they’re considering ditching the service. As a big PS fan, seeing the likes of Gears of War and Halo probably at somepoint joining PS is incredible and something I never would’ve imagined back in high school. ---

> [@Frost](#): > > In what universe is their any justification in Xbox prices going From the press release: _Beginning on October 3, we will update the recommended retailer pricing for Series S and Series X consoles in the United States due to changes in the macroeconomic environment._ The prices are only going up in the US. And it’s because of the tariffs put in place by their executive. Sony did the [same a month ago](https://blog.playstation.com/2025/08/20/playstation-5-price-changes-in-the-u-s/), and PC does the same through its own components. * * * Also I got to admire the xbox topic that immediately has a PC player and a PS player taking potshots as soon as it’s active. 😛 ---

Nintendo will follow this trend with the Switch 2. It’s inevitable, and my dad called me crazy when I explained to his why I bought a Switch 2. Simply rather get it at its Cheapest cause I fully know if terms like macroeconomy is being thrown around than Nintendo’s macroeconomy will adjust their pricing aswell. ---

Personally, I hate any kind of exclusive. If I play a good game, I would like anyone in the world to be able to enjoy it. Also I am only a fan of myself, not of any company.
