Hang on, am I missing something. I thought I read yesterday the S was aiming for 1140p at 60fps but I'm reading from some on here now it's ultimately a 1080p machine not capable of running future AAA titles?

Edit: Yeah just read that it's aiming for 1140p at 60hz, so not sure why some on here are saying the games are going to be vastly lesser versions. They'll run at a slightly lower resolution but it's still a big improvement on 1080p and the console itself still packs a punch for people that aren't ready for full 4K in terms of investment.
1140p is a big improvement of 1080p?

A lot of developers seem to be disagreeing with this dude.
They're saying it's problem because it's more work for them. Which is understandable. Not that it will hold gaming back, necessary. Tbf, I don't know enough about game development to speak on it. For what it's worth, others seem impressed with it.

I think the Series S will start off life as as a 1440p machine but as we move away from cross-gen it will drop to 1080p, perhaps even lower.

Even the unreal 5 demo on PS5 was already running at 1440p. I imagine if that was running on a Series S it would be as low as 900p.

I would help you @DixieDean, but @Alock1 offended me when he didn’t vote for me and left me alone when I needed him most. @esmufc07 and I are friends now. We even on nickname terms. Ain’t that right Scampi? He’s just a breathe of fresh air around here. Great guy. That @Pexbo though needs to be watched though. You should stay clear of him Scampi.

I have not fought in the fanboys wars for long time. Little too old for that shit now. It's eye opening how prevalent it still is, though. Who the feck goes to bat for a big corp in 2020?

Sorry it was a typo, it's 1440p. Maybe not a big improvement but around 3.5k. You'll definitely notice a difference.
That makes more sense :lol:

If it can hit 1440p it might be able to hit 3840x1080p and then scale the vertical resolution two fold, although I guess that's up to the developers.

More power will always help

:lol: Xbox has more consoles than games.
To be fair, give them time. They've just acquired some really good studios after following a strategy of being "best for multiplats" for a couple of generations.

Series S | X pages are up:

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/consoles/xbox-series-s
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/consoles/xbox-series-x

Though they could have had a better image to represent their diverse library.




Series X weights 9.8lbs - the original Xbox weighed 8.5lbs.

Both the Series S and X have Wifi 5 and no USB-C connection. PS5 has Wifi 6.
No usb C? Isn't that what everything uses these days?

Also, Xbox really feckin bum halo to death. It's like their selling point to everything "but we've got a new halo" "we will remaster halo" "halo".

The Xbox won't have wifi 6. What a devastating blow in the next gen race
What's wifi 6?

And heavier than the OG Xbox? That thing weighed a ton.

Edit: I just checked out that site and it says 8k gaming! Yeah, right.

You'll be able to USB out and charge a C surely, since that's what the Elite controller uses. But won't be able to do a USB-C out/have a C port on it. If that makes sense?

I assume that's the case anyway.

Yeah I know what you're saying there. Maybe that is correct then, just weird how it was mentioned as I don't think a C port in would be a big deal anyway.
