They have always been clear about it being a console to play on 1080p to 1440p. Thats definitely not a lie.That's a blatant lie. Here's an actual capture from the official trailer:

They marketed it as a 1440p machine. Not only is it not achieving that here it isn't even achieving 1080p consistently.
Without Ray tracing.
It is cross gen: pretty much the same as current gen plus some bling bling, in this case better assets, better resolution and ray tracing.
unless they go the apple route and phase out the SS a few years later. That’s the general vibe this gen is giving me from MS.
We're talking a few percent efficiency gain here vs the usual generational leap in game complexity........ Absolutely incomparable.
People were hailing the XSS as a gaming miracle. A true "next gen" console for ultra cheap - what an incredible feat! 'Dat CPU' will unlock greater resolutions and frame rates, they said.

There fixed that for you. I dont know why you are bringing up PS5 in a Xbox thread.
As soon as you call out Microsoft for marketing Series X as 4K when DMC5 only runs at 1080p when RT is on.

Pure hypocrisy on your part that is. Why are you using PS5 in your example and not Xbox Series X when both have similar performance mode? You are one of the biggest fanboy on this forum mate.
Exactly. XSX/PS5 are for 4K gaming. Expecting 4K@30fps or even 1440p@120fps on a budget console is simply delusional.It’s a budget console that tops out at 1440. It’s not going to perform miracles. That’s why it’s cheap and why the XsX exists.
I'm afraid when we start the "dynamic rez" trend, it would discourage developers to do proper optimizations if you can just simply crank down specs.
I would call them clowns because a One X could be had for cheaper if that's the case. The Series S is looking worse and worse.
It's not even a 1080p machine lol, in the case of WD Legion it's worse performance then the One X, do people know that?
Series S is far from ONE X, it has a modern CPU and SSD comparing it to ONE X doesn't make sense.
just a year off from pushing the ps5 tho so get ready
Doesn't say anything in the article. If it's 1080p30 how is it better than Xbox One?
Who said that? I hope you're not trying to imply that I did?
Raytracing and higher settings
I don't own a 4k tv, but or monitor. Its a waste when hardware isn't there to push it and using lower resolutions look like crap. I have two perfectly fine tvs a 55' and a 45' and both are 1080p. I am not getting rid of working sets for a few extra pixels. I also just got a new monitor for my gaming pc. I got a 1080p 144hz instead of getting a 1440p or 4k set. Why, because I would rather max settings and high fps than having to buy an expensive monitor and shell out $800-1500 for a 3080+ just to run at those resolutions. I'll stick to mid tier cards and get a 3060 when it's available and stick to my 1650 super which maxes everything out at 1080p right now. Buying 4k is a waste when you don't really need it. It doesn't even look like that big of a jump. Going from SD to 720p was a huge leap that you could feel.
