Series S vs Series X specs side by side

Well it is $299. They’ll be getting exactly what they paid for.

The disparity in RAM speed is interesting.

 

[levitate]

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I see merit in the approach. I’m just not sure how developers will approach having to “choose” between building for the X and scaling down for the S. Or building for the S and optimizing for the X. We’ve already seen with Halo that shyt doesn’t always work out.

I think they the S will outsell the X 3-to-1 It will be VERY popular for the 13-18 year old XBOX crowd.

Yea it’s definitely a difference

luckily a machine gunning for 1440-1080p should fair much better compared to if it was going for 4K

I'm thinking they invested so much in the smart delivery approach so that developers don't have to choose. Same game, same rendering, but maybe 1080/1440 quality textures vs 4K textures.

The S is 1440p

My One X is better than this shyt

This could really be problematic for MS once developers really start learning how to get the best out of the architectures. Developers will be able to the max for PS5 being fully aware that every PS5 can handle the game. On the flip side, Microsoft has created fragmentation and if Series S outsells Series X then you can guarantee there won’t be any Series X exclusives not financed by Microsoft. So then what does a developer do when having to develop for both? Like you said, build for X and scale down to S or build for S and optimize for the X. The latter will result in Microsoft next-gen games looking inferior to PS5’S.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

This two console shyt is so dumb.

The S is 1440p

This is STUPID.

Just make the Series X and keep the One X as the cheaper equivalent.. This is so fragmented and stupid...

Who the hell is buying the Series S at 1440p when you can have an Xbox One X at 4K

Microsoft just has money to burn

 

[MMA]

You quickly figure out who understands hardware and who doesn’t

Seeing it like that...


Series S is trash

Love it

I repeat, Sony gamers in straight panic mode

He's been told that's not how it works for months, but he'll repeat the Sony stans lie to push false narratives to the masses. Sony heads are literally telling each other this is how it works. You see it on Twitter, in YouTube comments, and this dumb muhfukka I met on the street once. Like Trump supporters they get half truths then run with it. It's disturbing honestly...

The S is 1440p

My One X is better than this shyt

See, he's still trying to establish that the 1x is better than a series s. Was proven false months ago but hey, whoever will listen right

My question is why do these guys gotta lie this much if their system of choice is better? This is what you do when you have an inferior product, you lie lie lie lie lie because this is where lying is mandatory

The series s can play next gen games at resolutions up to 1440p and older gen games at 4k. The Xbox one x cannot run true next gen games because it doesn't the cpu to handle what next gen gaming is trying to accomplish. The custom ssd or the velocity engine which supercharges the entire systems setup. So it can't provide the physics or the artificial intelligence you'll face because again, the one x cpu isn't ready for what next gen systems will provide (series s included)

Now that that's been clarified, I'll see you in a couple hours to remind you again

Seeing it like that...


Series S is trash

And yet it'll be on par with the majority of ps5 games

I've thought about this for a while, and I realize that the S isn't meant for people concerned with those type of things.

It's likely going to be the cheapest next gen console available for a solid two or three years, and they took the One X off the market specifically for this reason.

Also, it has the advantage of being positioned as next gen for the people who don't have a 4K TV yet, and maybe need to choose between saving for a TV and getting a system later, of getting the system now, and keeping the pipe dream of getting a new TV alive for a while longer. I know that seems ridiculous, considering that even basic 4K TVs are pretty cheap right now, but there are a LOT of gamers out there in that situation. I think most of use here are good enough money wise that we often forget that gaming is a hobby where a larger portion of participants than you would think are struggling to afford said hobby.

This will not be a problem seeing as the architectures are the same.

Things will be made for the Xbox next gen platform and scale appropriately to the hardware in it.



iPhones and iPads already do this exact same thing.
