Learning From Xbox One’s Mistakes
Xbox One was very expensive, heavily reliant on Kinect, and emphasized online connectivity. Showing why t’s launch did not go so well, but Microsoft has come far. Now it focuses on making the next-gen products more consumer-friendly with extra exciting features. They learned from their past mistakes and made great progress, such as the Game Pass and backward compatibility.
After carefully weighing the advantages, here are the disadvantages of Xbox Series X.
Potential Long Wait For Exclusives
We know that there are some pretty exciting titles for the new-gen, such as Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 from the Ninja Theory, a new take on the Fable series from the Playground Games, and so many more. But we don’t know how long the wait is for them and exactly when they will be released. The Halo Infinite will also perhaps be released this year or next. There does not seem to be many exclusives to look forward to for the immediate future.
Size
The size of the new-gen Xbox is a bit of a problem. It is bigger than any previous console ever. It measures to be approximately 6 inches wide and deep and 12 inches tall. It will require some serious readjustment to your entertainment area.
Expandable Storage
Xbox Series X offers the players an option to expand the already provided storage space of the console with a 1TB storage device, which will simply need to be plugged into the back of the system. This sounds all well and good till now. The problem is the enormous amount of money one will have to pay for this expandable storage. It costs $219.99, which is nearly half the price of the Xbox Series X itself. Furthermore, they are only meant for the new Xbox consoles.
The Launch Line-Up
The launch line-up is beyond unsatisfactory. There are little to no new exclusives to look forward to. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was available for the last-gen Xbox consoles too. This really puts a dent in the new-gen experience the Xbox Series X has to offer.
Halo Infinite’s Delay
Halo Infinite’s delay was a big disappointment in the launch of the Xbox Series X as it was supposed to be launched alongside the new-gen console. Due to the lack of satisfactory response by the fans, Halo Infinite’s launch has been pushed to somewhere in 2021. This was supposed to be the major launch from Microsoft, but now it is relying on third-party releases. This delay has managed to create a wedge in the various launch plans of Microsoft.
Conclusion
There are quite the advantages and disadvantages to this console, but the choice is up to you.
