-(_ANTHEM_)-
With the biggest security scare in the history of the microchip process industry, I wonder if consoles will be negatively hit with the Meltdown and Spectre patches? Cloud servers are taking a hit and some PCs won't boot after a Microsoft patch. Even IBM is having a hard time with their patches.
Frankly, the gaming market is a low priority, imo. Still, auto patch downloads have caused havoc for some. Googling will reveal the mess. Apparently, this hardware design flaw goes back 5+ years. Though, AMD's hardware is less susceptible to this form of CPU attack. Note, Apple, Nvidia, AMD, IBM, Intel, ARM and possible others are affected.
Thing is, CPUs coming out in 2018 will continue to have these vulnerabilities. These CPUs are taped out and are being manufactured for distribution. New CPU designs that fixes the Speculative prediction algorithm may come out in 2019.
I was hoping to upgrade my system and get an AMD ZEN+ in 2018 among other hardware. Now,. however, I'll wait and see what's being done. Intel's Speculative Prediction algorithm is what gave them that IPC boost over AMD. Reworking that algorithm to address the security flaw will probably decrease the IPC performance.

I can't play shooters with a controller. If I get the game, it will be PC.

LOL, I see you "downgraded".
My few attempts at using a PC controller failed miserably. It's the fingers, you see. They constantly rebel against the brain's directives...

Is it convenient couch vs desk? The comfy sofa is a huge part of it. And whilst I may have technically downgraded input device accuracy, it's fine.

I will be getting it for Xbox One X. I've never been much of a PC gamer, unfortunately.

If I would buy the game, I would buy it on PC. I don't know how to console other than Nintendo Wii

It would be for PC if I do buy it. After trying the Destiny2 demo I will guess it is doubtful I buy it as I disliked Destiny2.

PS4 for sure. Frostbite games are generally well optimized on base-PS4 and look great. You just have to live with the fact that they use low shader quality :/
