This was a mistake
This was a mistake
why is games underlined?
You mean that shitty 2 year old hardware pretending to be a next gen alternative to the other slightly more powerful 2 year old hardware is not a good idea?
$250 ssd expansion, $70 games, monthly subscriptions to play online and happy investors beg to differ.
OP means games were a mistake
It's genius. I'm going to get one just to take advantage of Game Pass and play some COD with the boys
Why? All digital is the future. It's better for the planet and it's more convenient. Seethe, ya cosooomer hoarder faggot.
I still remember how seething Zig Forumstards were doing some crazy wishful thinking, saying that this was the greatest shit ever and some actually said it was better than the PS5 spec wise
Now they've moved goalposts and are LARPing by saying shit like this
I have a feeling they're going to discontinue it in 2-3 years after devs stop bothering to support it
>lets make a console with 30% of teraflops of the base console so that all devs have to optimize for it
>also lets make it horrible value proposition by giving the player 300gb memory so after installing few games they have to buy an ssd that costs as much as the console itself
At that point everyone will regret not having bought the X version.
The PS5 isn't 2 year old hardware. It's based on a slightly modified version of RDNA2 which is modern.
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T MAKE THE DEVS OPTIMIZE FOR ANOTHER CONSOLE ON TOP OF THE 6 CONSOLES AND DOZEN DIFFERENT PC SPECS THEY ALREADY OPTIMIZE FOR
And you're obviously stupid.
"RDNA2" is barely competing with Nvidias 20 series, the most expensive card is still under the original non-super 2080 in raytracing and just slightly more powerful than a 2080TI.
That's just to say it's still outdated hardware because OBVIOUSLY a shitty $500 console won't even have a card that's half close to the $650 card they just announced for PCs
Go look at the digital foundry video where they show that the exact same settings run on an i5 8400 (3 year old CPU) and 2060 super (1.5 year old GPU) in native 4k and with higher framerates than "Next gen" consoles.
Do your fucking research at least if you want to justify purchasing outdated hardware
>b-b-but it just came out
you can do that with a Series X and not be cucked out of 4k and a disc drive
>disc drive
lmao, fuck off
Busnisses wise it's a good idea. Traps poor people into reoccurring payments. Developers will love it since poor people have an affinity to impulse buy shit games.
Just get a series x dummy
But he's 13 years old and his parents are obviously poor
Gamepass is pretty good especially now that EA Play comes with it.
It would have been a decent idea if it weren't so cripplingly underpowered. 10GB of RAM at speeds a third slower than the X1X is absurd.
meanwhile the 6800xt with a stock cooler just beat out the top 3900 (using liquid nitrogen cooling) in benchmarks.
Nvidia is falling behind in everything except raytracing where they still hold a decent edge, and the AI upscaling, which probably holds their biggest potential advantage over AMD. Also DF is a joke so don't try to shill them here.
I have a PC, hence getting a Series S for Xbox Game Pass and playing with friends who don't have a PC. Keep up, it's not that difficult
And? Get a Series X you fucking idiot.
>Pay more for features you won't use
Why even get an xbox if you already have a PC I will never understand you people
The only mistake was microsoft marketing it as a 1440p machine
Read motherfucker
>900p at 30fps
i really dunno how they managed to market a console weaker than XOX as next gen
It has better performance and more storage for your shitty bloated shooters
Series S performance is good enough for my shitty bloated shooters and the average Game Pass game is less than 20GB. Why can't you people just accept that the Series S might be a good fit for some people?
Lower tier models always are. It fucks the whole generation because developers have to make sure it can run on the lowest specs always. No child left behind bullshit.
if you have a decent gaming pc just get game pass on it
fuck the xbox
somebody doesn't like blurays
it wants you to know that it's all AA bait that you've probably already played in your steam library
teraflops don't mean shit, user
it's the modern-day equivalent to the bit wars
I have Game Pass Ultimate. The console version of Game Pass has a larger game library and tends to get things earlier than PC. I'm getting a Series S to take advantage of it and to play some multiplayer games with my buddies who don't play on PC. I'm sorry my choice of purchase offended you.
I'm going to buy it.
switch handheld uses like 30-40% of the "teraflops" of switch docked lol
why is that a problem? games just run at much lower resolutions and with graphical tweaks
the switch has a library of thousands of games, so I doubt it's that hard to develop for
cp gets delayed like half a year because of weak versions of consoles
the consoles had the perfect opportunity to leave those sub 10tf specs behind and let developers make truly next gen titles
now EVERY multiplat has to made with the weakest xbox in mind.
ok retard
