Why do people struggle so much to understand that it’s a different audience? PS5 DE is 3.45 times bigger than the S, costs €100 more and doesn’t exactly exist in the most favorable ecosystem if you’re conscious about money in general.
We are debating what makes the XSS an impressive piece of technology, not size, not audience, not ecosystems. How does Metro show that? It doesn’t.
Like, you can be happy with it, you can be happy with the results, surprised by the results but calling it an impressive piece of tech? Doesn’t even pass the tech bang for buck test. There’s a reason why a whole lot of people were aiming for 249$ tops and dreaming of 199$. At 299$, considering how cut back it is, nothing impressive about how it performs. Let’s not forget that the promise was that for 4K games on XSX, SS would deliver 1440p by just flipping a switch.
Also the whole “audience that needs a smaller console” isn’t really a thing, unless it’s portable. But whatever, size yeah.
