Series X is my first XBox console. I used to be Nintendo exclusive ever since NES. In 2016 after feeling like there wasn’t enough to play on Wii U, I ventured out and got a PS4. Within a month of the Series X And PS5 releases, I decided to try to get both of them. I got the PS5 in Dec 2020 and the Series X in Nov 2020. I got the Series X for one reason: Game Pass. If Game Pass wasn’t a thing I would have never bought it. I love having all 3 consoles.
I’ve had my Series X since Nov 2020 and haven’t bought one game for it. I have no plans to buy any in the near future. It gets played as much as my PS5 and Switch.
Series X is my first XBox. There’s no way I would have even considered purchasing it without GamePass. In general, I prefer the Nintendo and PS exclusives to what XBox offers. I’ve been a Nintendo diehard since the 80s, and it was only a few years ago that I got my first PS. But I wanted in on GamePass so Series X means I’m a 3 console owner this generation.
I think that headline is really misleading. She said 20% of GP users also spend money on their GP games. Headline makes it sound like GP subscribers spend 20% more on gaming than non-subscribers...or that’s how I read it.

Re: Soapbox: Remote Play Is One Of Xbox's Most Underrated Features
In my experience it lags just enough to make me not want to use it.
