Might as well squash as many bugs as possible before I start. In fact, I've come to expect it. </p><p><br></p><p>Sometimes I wonder if newer consoles even ship with the full OS. Notice the other option was 'Turn Off', so there was no way to get out of setup and into a game. Maybe they ship with a setup OOBE and then download the core OS so each machine gets the latest build.</p><p><br></p>

    <p>Still waiting for the article on Initial Games.</p><p><br></p><p>Where are the firstparty exclusives? Surely MS realizes you don't launch a new console – even if iterative – without at least one killer platform exclusive. Smdh.</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#213125"><em>In reply to PeteB:</em></a></blockquote><p>I thought Forza 7, Cuphead, PUBG etc were "exclusives", or are those available on PlayStation now?</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#213125"><em>In reply to PeteB:</em></a></blockquote><p>Cuphead, Forza 7, PUBG. Plus the best experience on ALL of the multi-platform console games coming out this fall on consoles. Call of Duty, AC, Battlefront 2…multi-plat rise and repeat.</p><p><br></p><p>98% of console games are multi-platform. The X is the best experience on a console.</p>
