Hey Dukes, Maybe a bit of a weird question, but what was the last honest-to-goodness AAA Xbox exclusive you played? I was thinking about this the other day and realized my playtime between my Series X and PS5 had flipped from the start of the generation to now, with me now playing significantly more PS5 (as of late due to FF16). This lead me to think about what I played lately on the Xbox, a mix of Midnight Suns, Dead Island 2, NHL23 and MLB the Show, all multi-platform games. So back to the original question, for myself, I think the last AAA Xbox exclusive I played was Halo Infinite. What was the last AAA Xbox exclusive you played? Cheers!

What’s up bois! I’m glad you guys got a kick out of my review (DarthTerminus) and I thought I’d write back in about something that doesn’t seem to come up much. I don’t see why Xbox doesn’t push or market to families more often. I’m eagerly awaiting the forthcoming family sharing plan because between the PS5s, Xboxes, Switched and PCs we have as a family, our kids almost exclusively play the series S we have in the living room. Maybe it’s just my kids, but they never ask to buy games and they go from game to game so fast that the novelty of game pass is what I think keeps them coming back to Xbox. Also, I’ve observed that my kids almost prefer to watch people play games on YouTube than actually play games. I wonder if there’s some changing habits among demographics and that will lead to gamepass having further success in the future. Anyway, as a family guy with now three kids, I just see Xbox as having immense value compared to PlayStation and don’t see why that isn’t pushed more. What are your thoughts, gents?
