The popularity of the Switch must tie your brain in knots.I honestly can't even begin to imagine having such a large TV and then hooking up a 1080p system to it.

Switch’s popularity could very well be tied to its handheld nature. After all, the switch lite can’t even be hooked into the TV.The popularity of the Switch must tie your brain in knots.
The switch is also a handheld. A good amount of people who use the switch don’t even hook it up to the TV. That’s why Nintendo created the switch lite.The popularity of the Switch must tie your brain in knots.
When it comes to electronics price is a small factor. People will spend money they don’t have to get the best version phone, TV and console.Not just availability, but price is always a factor.
Pretty sure for Black Friday deals, the best selling TVs are probably models that cost less than $1000 as opposed to awesome OLEDs on sale, but still cost $2000.
I wouldnt be surprised if the biggest selling TVs come from the $400 RCA territory.
Money means nothing to a company that is trillion dollar. They need healthy base for their console. Games which will attract those people.
You dont buy something to get more money. You buy them, to have future investment. MS didnt buy bethesda, because they needed quick cash. They bought them, because it gives them new IPs for their new service. Same thing for the studios they bought.
IP is a king in content world. And you need new or existing IPs to get those content.
Yes it is, I would have thought that was obvious.ps4 isn’t multiplatform?
There is a very meaningful difference between saying that the series s outputs 1080p and its typical rendering resolution. That's all we are saying.I'm sorry and I say this with all due respect, but this is just a straigth up misrepresentation of what the system offers. Saying that the system renders at 4k because it can run a few games at 4k is misleading. The total amount of games that run at 4k is 6 and half of those are simple indie games. Not even the dashboard runs at 4k. There's a decent amount that runs at 1440p and the overwhelming majority of games run at 1080p.
Can you point to any modern games that won't run on the XSS because of its GPU? What titles run based solely on GPU performance? There are tons of PCs out there that have GPUs even less capable than the XSS. Those systems will also have to be taken into account at least for Xbox titles.Only if your game or engine is CPU bound. FS2020 is heavily CPU bound. Core gameplay usually is more RAM which XSS is limited on too. So it all depends on your engine and when you started developing your game what you targeted.
It also never gets answered but when the PS5 and XSX to a much lesser extent doesn't run a game at 4k no one bats an eye but when the XSS doesn't run a game at 1440p MS lied to its customers. So crazy the standard the budget box is held to.It still has the capability even if it's not going to for major 3d titles. There's a misconception/lie that is often thrown around online that the system is hard locked to output at 1440p max, no matter what. That's not the case as select titles do run at 4k or above 1440p, which is what was originally being pointed out.
I think whilst summer might be ideal for GoW, personally I don't see it. My prediction is Q3/4.Summer would be ideal for them. As long as they dont release close to starfield. Who ever is releasing a game close to that month, is on life support. While starfield might not be on playstation system, the amount of headline it will get, will disrupt any new marketing games.
Do people know grounded exist? The game is made by small team. Its like indie game at this point.
like returnal, it’s more or less 1080p then upscaled to 4k and it looks great.Do we even have games that are exclusive 4k? most games are tailored for 1080p. your 4k console wont do anything, if the game is upscaled to 4k. you need native 4k games to feel that 4k experience. or else, you are stuck with upscaled 4k.
you just nailed why Microsoft were so forward thinking with game pass and the series s. 90 percent of people don’t care about disks or the poorer quality a stream brings over them, they want convenience. Series S is the perfect console for this.netflix, hulu, amazon prime, disney plus.
Who the hell uses disc movies these days?
SS has gamepass. It fulfils what the console is designed for. Primary gamepass console. This isnt playstation console, where you need to buy 1st party games. Xbox is covering those people with gamepass, since their 1st party games are available on that service.
Yup. It was a smart bet. It must have faced a lot of internal resistance by some n counters as they must have imagined Wii + DS sales and thought that a single console to relax both could have been a mistake… but betting your farm of catching a lighting in a bottle twice each generation was a worse point of view IMHO so the bean counters lost. Not sustainable for the company.Switch’s popularity could very well be tied to its handheld nature. After all, the switch lite can’t even be hooked into the TV.
This is the first Gen in two decades where Nintendo didn’t offer a dedicated handheld system. Ds is the best selling gaming system off all time. 3ds was also very popular. The switch essentially replaced them.
I love how every single thread like this has to justify "because of availability".
Again the XSS is leaps and bounds more performant than last generations base consoles.
Lmao go find something else to do with your free time instead of being hurt and salty over a console you dont plan on buying. Big loser energy.So why can’t it run games in native 4K like the Xbox one X that was released in 2017?
I am sure Phil has some of you on pay roll in this thread …
Because it has less RAM, tailored for native 1440p output. The GPU is more powerful in some aspects, and the CPU is miles ahead of the One X.So why can’t it run games in native 4K like the Xbox one X that was released in 2017?
I am sure Phil has some of you on pay roll in this thread …
Do you think that isn't true?
I'm pretty sure xbox had paid shills roaming around reddit and forums around the launch of the xbox one and got caught.I am sure Phil has some of you on pay roll in this thread …

Let’s be honest if this shortage wasn’t a issue the disc PS5, Series X and Nintendo Switch would out sell the Series S by a land slide.
I think people in this thread think everyone is out to hate on the Series S but it’s really just the reality that the Xbox Series X will never hit it’s potential from a tech standpoint because of the Series S and that’s a fact.
Is there a reason you didn't mention the X1S? Just because you refused to acknowledge its existence doesn't mean it isn't the true predecessor. You might not know this but the X1S sold more than the X1X so the only wishful thinking is that developers will start making games with maximum raytracing effects ignoring large segments of potential customers. That would make no business sense seeing how most people's gaming hardware cannot run the effect at all.
The XSS is not a successor to the X1X no matter how many people keep saying it. At least you'll be happy to know that the XSS can run effects even the X1X could not. It's a fantastic upgrade over the X1X and X1S for the CPU alone. You shouldn't worry about the XSS right now regardless. Developers haven't even used all the features of the system let alone maximized it. This generation is just getting started and improvements will continue to be made.
That's just not true. Otherwise these shitty BF TVs they sell year after year wouldn't sell out constantly.When it comes to electronics price is a small factor. People will spend money they don’t have to get the best version phone, TV and console.

This is a good point, the vast majority of Xbox owners will be upgrading from an Xbox One or Xbox One S, it's a pretty massive upgrade to a Series S, the simple move to 60/120fps is going to be enlightening for those who have been playing at 30fps for years. Then add in the loading speeds, FPS boost for old games and the fact the base Xbox One didn't even support HDR.
In defense of the consumer the PS4 Pro sucked , but back on topic lol price is king. Normal people just want to play the games and will take the easiest path to that.Which is why when the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X came out they were outsold by large amounts by the base systems.
People don't even think before they post this rubbish.
Xbox One RAM bandwidth is 68.3GB/s.Good point.
The upgrade from X1 to XSS is bigger then the upgrade of X1X to XSX.
X1 to XSS
1.8x Ram bandwidth
All of a sudden, sales don't matter.
Yet again, sales aren't a metric of demand because the system involved is Series S.
Say the sales are in part due to supply, okay, but there aren't nearly enough people around to buy a $300 system just because it's there, if they otherwise have no desire for it.
The downplaying is real; just a general commentary.
According to Adobe’s Digital Economy Index data (first highlighted by Business Insider), the cheaper Series S outside both PS5, Switch OLED Model and the more expensive Xbox Series X during the biggest holiday sale day of the year.
Adobe claims its data comes from analysing 1 trillion visits to retail sites, in addition to surveying over 1,000 retailers on their most popular items.
If accurate, a key element of Series S’s popularity is likely that, unlike the highly sought-after PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Series S has been widely available to purchase during Black Friday week. At the time of publishing, it’s still in stock at many retailers.
Series S, most in demand item this back Friday. Likely to be most demand for Christmas as well.There's no downplaying.
Many Xbox fans don't want to accept the fact that the Xbox Series S is readily available compared to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
1. It's widely available during Black Friday week
2. It's still in stock at many retailers.
No one can really dispute this. The only thing people are going to say is, "you're downplaying it" Because they don't want to accept the truth.
Xbox One RAM bandwidth is 68.3GB/s.
Xbox Series S RAM bandwidth is 224GB/s.
Do you really think the Series S is more in demand than the PlayStation 5?Series S, most in demand item this back Friday. Likely to be most demand for Christmas as well.
If I were you I’d stock up on copium, gonna be a long gen buddy.

It's not about XSX and the PS5 having "some effect". It's probably selling at the same pace as it was because it's it was available at the time the article was posted.No one is denying that lack of XSX + ps5 stock will have some effect, however no one is forced to buy an XSS, there still has to be some good demand if people are willing to buy one and not wait for stock of the bigger brothers.
Here is a video of a real game developer talking about how the Xbox Series S presents more limitations outside of just resolution.This garbage again? So is the ps5 going to hit its potential? Because you can bet your ass 99% chance they are developing concurrent pc versions of all thier new games (even if they are releasing them delayed) plus they have a ton that are even being made for ps4. Ms also has concurrent pc versions being made with lower spec than one fixed format (Series s) that is actually more powerfull than low end pc. So as far as series X being held back by the series S being "a fact", that's a complete fiction created here on these boards.
It's not about XSX and the PS5 having "some effect". It's probably selling at the same pace as it was because it's it was available at the time the article was posted.
This means it's dominating compared to XSX and PS5 because the others are not even available to purchase.

He starts talking about it at 14:35. Dude tried so hard not to laugh during the segment because he knows the truth …..but time will reveal everything.

The problem with your point is that ms is just happy with the money their studio's is making.So your original point was Microsoft have seen no return on their purchases, then it's money means nothing and they don't need quick cash? Talk about wrapping yourself in knots.
I never said they needed quick cash, I said they were receiving income from their purchases from the games I mentioned, this is undeniable fact.
I also said they would know the development roadmap of the companies they purchased as anyone who spent millions and billions of dollars on a purchase would, again another fact.
None of this is difficult.
The thing is Xbox does not have much “built from the ground up” next gen games to judge right now.Because judging by next gen games so far they all look very scalable, so any difference the SeriesS would have would be just small visual differences (to the layman), besides resolution.

We will have a better idea next year when more full next gen games are out like Starfield and Stalker 2.

NO IF YOU WANT ANYTHING LESS THAN 120FPS AT 8K YOU ARE WORSE THAN HITLERThe usual people are freaking out that people might want and prefer a Series S. Who would have thought?
The Series S, especially with Game Pass is a great choice to enter the new gen.
The problem with your point is that ms is just happy with the money their studio's is making.
They need games from these studios on their system. That is main reason they bought it for them.
They aren't going for the money they are bringing. They want new games to drop on their system. We aren't seeing that right now. That is the entire point.
Roadmap is good. But you need games asap. Industries like this dont wait for future games. You will leave your customers restless.
One of the main reason X1 failed badly, was the decline of the 1st party games. All we saw for this gen right now, is repeat of old IP, and 1 Kickstart game.
It will improve in the future, but as of now, I dont see anything new from MS.
The average person is more likely to drop $500 on the ps5 and xsx than $300 xss, that is reality.It’s the same reason why Oculus headsets are being sold at cost from now on starting with the Quest 2. The average person (not an enthusiast fighting wars over a 0.1 point frame rate difference in games on an Internet forum) is much more likely to drop $300 on something, even as an impulse buy, than $500.
Its easy to justify 300$ purchase, than 500$ purchase.It’s the same reason why Oculus headsets are being sold at cost from now on starting with the Quest 2.

No. Only in your world. No way average person will spend 500$, when there is 300$ option.The average person is more likely to drop $500 on the ps5 and xsx than $300 xss, that is reality.
Not really. Just look at the situation in Europe xss sitting on shelves whilst xsx sells out within minutes, the demand from casuals is more towards xsx than xss.No. Only in your world. No way average person will spend 500$, when there is 300$ option.
People who do that, have disposable income.
Ps5, you dont have a choice, Since price difference is 100$. If it was 200, like xsx/xss, you will see more people buying the 300$ ps5.
