The Xbox Series S is starting to sound like a mistake

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

It is going to be a successful console. Most people think graphics have gotten to the point to where they are largely of no real significance. Most people like us would want the extra power but if it can run Minecraft and Fortnite just fine, that is all that matters. It is about playing the game, most people don't care about resolution.

The fanboys already for this bullshyt like "eVeRyBoDy cAn't aFfOrD In tHiS PaNdEmIc"

Don't buy a fukking gimped console no matter what. Those same stans will quickly tell you "tHeY AlL HaVe oLd gAmEs" when PS5 is brought up though .

Well those who "cAn't aFfOrD In tHiS PaNdEmIc" can play 'those 'same games' coming out "oN GaMePaSs" on their current Xbox One X that they bought for $500 a few years ago and thus can put that $300 to use elsewhere. Graphics and resolution don't matter right?

S over X doesn’t make sense unless you’re a kid whose parents can’t fork over the 500.

they brag about having the most powerful console ever and brag about not needing 4k/ray tracing/120fps since not everyone has a 4k or 500 dollars to spend on a next gen console.

is it oochie wally or is it one mic?

This is how I know most of y'all only live on message boards. The greatest game I have ever played was played 720p when undocked and 900p when docked, That being the Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild.

The Xbox Series S serves multiple purposes

• $299 price point, it is the ultimate mass market price.
• It is designed to be a GamePass entry gateway.

I don't even understand the purpose of this thread. Not everyone can afford the top of the line Nvidia or AMD card when they drop, they have to get the mid or the low tier. Not everyone has the same funds but they want to be able to play the same games. That is what everyone dismissing this is missing. If I were to get an XSS for my kids, they wouldn't care as they aren't getting a 4K television from me anytime soon nor do I actually hear them give two shyts about graphics.

I just see people continuously miss the point of Xbox in general. Quick history guide. It is short for Direct Xbox as in Direct X. There is a need for Microsoft to push the power envelope with Xbox in some capacity so that they can keep their cash cow, i.e. Windows front and center so they have to keep up with current technology and in many ways, push the narrative forward so that other companies can follow. That is the reason for Microsoft pushing power now and going forward. Xbox and PC DNA needs to move in lockstep.

Now, for consoles like the XSS, it uses the same technology as the XSX but this as well as the XSX will be positioned totally differently. Look at some of the mobile games that make billions of dollars like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale or Puzzle and Dragons. Microsoft is going to try to get them on Xbox in some capacity. Y'all need to get out of your walled off thought processes and go beyond that. Some people just want to come home, hang out with the family, kick back, play a game of Madden, a round of Call of Duty or something on a streaming service and just call it a night. They don't look to Digital Foundry for the pixel counting.

The business is about easy access to the games. The XSS gets you there quickly, especially when looking at the All Access plans that are present. Ray tracing is the last of most people's concerns when it comes to these devices.

Interesting all the dumb Sony stans that haven’t even run a successful lemonade stand saying this is a mistake.

newsflash, not all people can’t afford to spend 1K on a new system during a pandemic.


This system will play all the new games and will sell. Budget gamers aren’t worried about 4K/60fps and ray tracing you idiots.


Nintendo switch will outsell all these new systems and only has a fraction of the power.

smh

Because people buy the Nintendo Switch for comparable reasons to buying high end home consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Nobody is talking about what sells better anyway were discussing technological limits.

The facts are the Series S becomes the floor now and its clearly weaker than the PS5 or Series X. The longer this generation goes on the more the Series S limits what games can do as the lowest common denominator. By the end of the generation that's gonna be what has limited what new games will be able to do.

Nobody has to be a stan to see or admit any of this.

Nothing you're saying here has anything to do with the Xbox Series S being the limiting factor of the new console generation.

If you can't afford to buy something then don't buy it. Everybody wants. So what?

It's easy to see PlayStation getting exclusive games for the simple fact that all PS5s have the same specs and there isn't some low end device that has to be accounted for.

Look at Cyberpunk. Word is the original Xbox One it was a development struggle due to the compromised specs. Those buyers will end up with an inferior product and everyone suffers because game developers are held back in scope by trying to account for them.

I don’t recall any games on xb1x struggling to hit 1080p...and a ton of games ran at 4k.
If I had to choose, I’d go pick up a used Xbox one X for $300 instead of the weaker series S. Games would perform better AND it comes with a 4k blu ray drive.

That's a matter of perspective. 1X will do better in resolution, XSS will do much better in frame rates.

Breh....to hell with a frame rate if it can’t even hit 1080 freakin P. What are we really talking about here my man?

 

[Hey_zeus]

Xbots arguing that'll sell more when Xbox hasn't sold more than there comp ever. Had a 3-1 lead with the 360($599, the cell complexity, a year lead) and still finished the gen in third. What evidence do y'all have that this sacrifice of the tech in the S will even be worth it? This isn't Playstation where that name carries weight globally in less developed countries where that price point would move units. If a PS5 released at this price in places like Brazil the result would be even worst than it will be.

Some people care more about frame rate.

 

[Dorian Breh]

Ahh, yes, the sizeable demographic with 900p, 120 fps television sets
