There is officially a 5% discount on Xbox series S on Flipkart. The Series S is up for pre order right now.

But no Xbox Series X in sight :sob:

By the way, does anyone here from India and stays in Delhi?

Edit: on discount at Amazon as well

How about we convince Nintendo to drop a game or two here instead.

check delivery dates, btw.

Would love to know the ratio between Series S and Series X, are 80% of the consoles being manufactured Series X and the other 20% Series S ? Or is it closer to 50/50.

No idea !

As for allocation purposes, I believe Series S has been sold more in India then compared to Series X. (I mean allocated )

Both on Flipkart and Amazon, Series S has more ratings then Series X.

No delivery date mentioned. Dates were mentioned when it was up for ā€˜buying’

Since being on ā€˜pre order’, no delivery dates mentioned

Yeah, makes sense to push the Series S in growing markets.

God forbids that, lol, sometimes I find some people here anticipating more what Xbox can do for Nintendo than the contrary. For example, can they at least greelight GoldenEye remaster or not even that, lol.

That would be cool but I cdd add t see it.

Which Nintendo game would impress the Xbox players the most if it gets ported to Xbox?

I believe Animals Crossing would be a great fit plus a huge hit on xCloud as well.

All deliveries are after 23rd on their site. It is not going to be immediate delivery.

Yes. As more users join gamepass, xbox will spend more on content which is a win for us

Did anyone mention that Jez conservatively estimates only a third of Xbox Game Studios’ titles have been announced? This doesn’t include Bethesda, the Kojima game and other titles he’s heard of but has not seen on the Xbox roadmap he was privy to.

Really can’t see any dates mentioned on the mobile app.

The stock is actually targeted for 21-23 Oct. Across Indian retailers all over India.

Also, now I have a chance to get series S for ₹ 31000 after applying bank discounts. Have to say this is so much tempting. But not gonna pull the trigger.

This wait is killing me.

Thankfully I have contacted a seller in Delhi who also will have stock on 21 Oct. But for pre order, he is asking me to buy the FS2020 or Xbox Headset.

Will have to shell a few extras for reservation of the console. Hopefully, it goes well.

Xbox is looking to grow Game Pass and reach 2 billion gamers. They’re not worried about getting Mario on Xbox because a few petty Xbox fans feel Xbox needs to get some return for ā€œallowingā€ Game Pass on another platform.

All I’m worried about is Xbox’s overall mission to democratize games and make accessing them easier. I’m not worried about their pockets or whether Nintendo or Sony fans can play Xbox games via an app.

Yeah this has been the thing I keep mentioning. People heard ā€œ25ā€ Playstation studio games not realizing that includes mobile and ports when for Xbox it’s most likely double if not more than that for their Xbox ecosystem games (PC, console, cloud). No matter who you’re a fan of this generation is going to be fantastic in comparison to last.

Personally I don’t care about any of Nintendo games, but I would like to have Switch + Xbox handheld (without attaching gamepad to mobile phone) just for fun.

Announced games are Avowed, Perfect Dark, State of Decay, Redfall, Starfield, Forza Motorsport, Hellblade 2?

Xboxera YouTube has 500 new subs overnight due to the Far Cry give away. Not too far off for 10k. Hope Nick and Jon can promote the giveaway on the podcast too.

What!? PlayStation has 25 games? Where’s Phil’s letter of resignation?? Why didn’t he counter them?

Fable, maybe including Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 as well. I doubt he’s factoring in Grounded. There’s also As Dusk Falls, but he’s probably thinking of larger titles. Regardless, just a ton of games.

Contraband as well.
