The Xbox Series S is starting to sound like a mistake

900p to get 60FPS on Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Cut ray tracing on DMC5SE. This is not basically the same thing as the Series X but at 1440p instead of 4K. This could be the weak link of this console generation like the VCR Xbox One was of last generation.

Yeah, like i said when it was announced I don’t see how it will hold up by mid gen when its technically weaker than a one x.

The Series S is going to have the same fate as the Xbox 360 HD-DVD Drive in about 7-9 months.

Doesn’t an x1x outperform it in every way AND includes a 4k drive?

If I recall correctly the Series S has a better CPU

It's on the game dev's.

He literally said "I know it's up to this" and then goes on about why he's concerned.

 

[Hey_zeus]

This box shouldn't exist. It's anti next gen

 

[Rice N Beans]

Still can't hit 1080p??

Chances are if you care anything about ray tracing and the rest of the stuff you already know which box to buy, so it's only a mistake to ppl that subscribe to Digital Foundry and this guy.

For everyone else that wants a basic next gen experience, it's fine enough.

The cheaper PS5 having the same hardware as the base model minus the drive more than likely means devs will cater to the higher spec boxes.

Which means the S would show its limitations pretty early in the generation, he's not wrong. You're probably talking a 360 vs PS3 multiplat difference where third parties just didn't care to work on PS3.

But like I said before, the type of people that are attracted to the S won't care about these differences.
