leads to fear. Fear leads to xbox.
With what games though? This first time in console gaming a console isn't launching with a first party exclusive title
It has all the relevant tech to support games for next gen. The only significant difference is that the console will render at lower resolutions.No, they are botching nextgen again with making a weak ass console which will be the baseline for nextgen. Fuck them. That's why I wouldn't mind third party games becoming PS5 exclusives.
I think when it comes to online gaming and GamePass games it could be attractive for those who mainly plays 3rd party games. Will see, but I sense some logic in this product, it's not OG XB1, that's for sure.With what games though? This first time in console gaming a console isn't launching with a first party exclusive title
Imagine a game designed with the PS5 and XSX in mind only, targeting 1440p (or even 1080p) at 30fps. Now that won't happen because of the S. I don't think anyone would dare to release something for it under 1080p. They would be ridiculed by a lot of dense people who think resolution=graphics. Unfortunately this is how it is.It has all the relevant tech to support games for next gen. The only significant difference is that the console will render at lower resolutions.
Cyberpunk 2077 with a next gen upgradeWith what games though? This first time in console gaming a console isn't launching with a first party exclusive title

For an ERP of £250/$299, The Xbox Series S offers a really great deal for people planning to upgrade this year.
Make what you will of the rumoured 4TFs it holds, but the Series S if the full leaked video is anything to go by, offers support for 120FPS at 1440p, 4K upscaling for games, 4K media playback, support for DirectX raytracing, and a custom NVME 512GB SSD.
That is a great deal for £250, they're obviously planning to make up losses with this by it being discless, but this means for many people, Next Gen is not so unaffordable on launch, I mean this will retail for the same price as you can get a PS4 Slim on Argos on it's own atm, so it to me anyway, screams of great pricing.
Now obviously Sony will have to respond, they love to undercut/rival competitors price wise so I can see them retailing the PS5 Digital Edition for around £300 which would offer them a bit more leeway with customers, as despite how beloved Sony are and the vast majority of people want to get a PS5 over an Xbox Series X, this Series S will appeal to almost every casual buyer and parent as the affordable way to entertain for many years to come.
Me personally? I will be getting this and a PS5 as this means I can experience Gamepass and all it has to offer for a very affordable price, whilst still getting my preferred choice down the line in the PS5 (when HZD II comes out will be when I pounce).
Even if the game looked like a CGI movie? Why is resolution that much important? Are you the kind of people I was talking about in my post? Which looks better? Minecraft in 4k or any other AAA game for let's say from the last 10 years in 720P?Thank goodness! I'd be taking my Xbox Series X back to the shop if it only did 1080p30.
Not sure I agree ( or disagree). 512 gig HDD, means you probably get about 400-450 of hdd space which isn't that hot. That being said, it seems great for last generation games getting upgrades.
Shouldn't be seen as bad though. Looks really interesting and I would love to see the games.
People will read and hear about the next Xbox coming and how its $299. MS just put a huge stick in Sonys wheel.
Sony will have to get a deep haircut with their disc less version of PS5 if they do not want to be perceived as more expensive - even if PS5 (with disc reader) and Xbox Series X is the same price.
I bet Sony is scratching their head right now.

Not necessarily. There are a bunch of graphical details that can be reduced to still make it run fine on an S.Imagine a game designed with the PS5 and XSX in mind only, targeting 1440p (or even 1080p) at 30fps.

I don’t think pro is going to continue. It’s the enthusiast sku which will be replaced by PS5.No. Sony will continue to sell the PS4 and PS4 Pro or perhaps another iteration of them to win the budget 1080p consumer.
I believe you are correct, and given they will be around $150, why not just get the x?I think they expect to sell some 1TB SSD memory cards.
It better. That amount of storage without being able to expand it would be atrocious.Does it have the expansion slot for more storage?

I honestly wish that you will be right and this is what will happen. But I fear it won't...Not necessarily. There are a bunch of graphical details that can be reduced to still make it run fine on an S.
The Xbox One X is going to be a much larger problem than the Series S, simply because the former does not have an SSD or the velocity architecture.
That would be a great value actually. A generic 1tb drive costs 150 cdn here. I'd expect this to be more.we'll see the price when they announce it. I heard 100$.
i'm not a tech guru or anything, but that's just saying the RTX 3070 is holding Back the RTX 3090.I think having a gimped sku they need to support is going to hold them back especially once we get out of the early part of the gen.
Basically devs are going to target S as the lowest common denominator, and then just scale up the res or framerate for X, because optimizing for X and scaling down is going to be problematic in a lot of cases, especially those that would look to push the next gen envelope.
The price is very attractive obviously but it's a potential albatross in the long run, and even more so if we get Pro models down the road.
yes, and they are targeting pc gamers with 1440p with 120 fps supportSo the accepted notion is that this console will run games at the same fidelty as series x - at lower resolution?
I hope they make swapping to a "cold storage" usb HDD at least somewhat painless for people not willing to upgrade the nVME storage right away.It better. That amount of storage without being able to expand it would be atrocious.
I sense fear at the house of Jim Ryan.
The most successful products start from a good price.
Series S library and infrastructure aint that bad either.
It will be big.
360 and xbox one games don't require a super fast external SSD, just plug an externa 1 TB HDD and goIt looks like a nice device but the all digital is killing it for me. How am I supposed to get all my 360 games on there? I thought backwards compatibility is one the major advantages of XBOX?
1440p 120 and ray tracing.
4 TFlops.

Yea it is really really bad. I literally alluded to sony fans reacting in a way if something was announced by xbox and got a ban for it. I knew i was done with that site. The censorship has gotten absolutely ridiculous over there.I have read enough reviews here to know that is not a site for me. I can take the constant fanboy warring but I am not a fan of censorship and cancel culture.
