Xbox already confirmed they are working on the series x successor, furthermore new series x refresh is expected during the holiday season. source1
In addition to that, there are rumours of an Xbox portable console in the works. source2
Edit: I am starting to see an anti-Xbox bias in this site. Negative Xbox news, get priority posting even if they are fake like this one. Meanwhile absolute silence in terms of negative Playstation/Sony news, like for example, a few days ago when they shut down deviation games or yesterday when Sony forcefully removed a demo from user accounts.

More and more of the adds the chocolate factory serves up to me are the most obnoxious stupid snake oil remedies and or products I have zero interest in like twisted holsters to carry a gun in your swimsuit or magic stud finders, that's quality AI for you.

4gbps is plenty given that most internet connections are still in the hundreds of mbps.

electricians! How exactly the fuck does one operate a 2800w psu in their home?
More like two thirds of the wattage of a typical water heater. Your typical 60 gallon tank water heater is 4500 watts according to a quick Google search.

I currently have a couple screens that can do up to 120hz, and I can't tell any difference above around 90hz. A 480hz refresh rate seems entirely pointless.
Agreed. I once gamed on a 240hz monitor (it's still sitting on a shelf in my garage, as a spare and a test monitor I use when building gaming PCs for friends and family). When I went to ultrawide, I went with a 144hz monitor. No regrets. Down to 90 or 100hz I honestly see and feel no difference going any higher. I have my gaming system capped at 120fps, and some games capped at 100 to keep my games smooth, and keep the 4090 from needlessly overworking and wasting power, even though I have games that can easily hit 200fps.
The rationalization for higher refreshes mostly comes from pro gamers, who claim it reduces input lag, but I question that, as even at 144hz it's been shown that the refresh is faster than the limits of human hand-eye reflexes - at least mine.
I dunno, maybe if I was 20 years old, and an esport champ, it would make a smidge of a difference, but I think it's mostly bragging rights for most home gamers.

why not make use of Xbox or PS controller...they are the most popular controller on planet Earth. There is no way i will buy another proprietary controller especially only work on some TV of a SINGLE BRAND.
This highlights the oddity of excluding this honor for uniformed forces from the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill. This passed in 1968 to move several Federal holidays to fall on Mondays each year, but this isn't one of them.

what is the point of remastering to have only slightly better shitty graphics?
The point is: $$$

Despite living in Texas, I am "meh" on BBQ. I don't go seek it out but I won't veto it if someone suggests it. Usually, I'd rather eat at a good Mexican place or a Tex-Mex place.
Amongst Europeans I engage with the Texas BBQ is famous. They think that I, a fresh faced New Yorker loves Texas BBQ. They even stereotype me as a person who endlessly BBQs. I did BBQ in my past, but only burgers and Hot Dogs. But I dislike being stereotyped, due to something I have nothing to do with.

There's almost no difference between googling the necessary command prompt entries or how to navigate the convoluted Windows menu system to get what you need done. As a primarily Windows user, I'd almost prefer to do things with the command prompt. I could just keep a list of common commands in a text file and it would be faster. Instead I have to either look up how to navigate the menu or edit the registry. Same-same.
