I agree in general, but I would add that the Series X seems to be targeting 4k native (though for how long who knows), and that a lot of times ports take more PC power to run later on because they're more enhanced. Red Dead 2 for example, to match the Xbox One X settings you not only drop to 30fps, but also run most graphical options at medium or low, and some are even lower than PC low. I put Read Dead on Xbox One X settings posted by Digital Foundry and it ran at like 100fps.

Based on what Microsoft said about the new Xbox it will be using a "neural network" to enhance the graphics, which most likely means a technology similar to DLSS2 will be used. If RDNA2 also uses a similar technique on the PC (which it likely will, probably using DirectML or something), I think PC gamers should be well prepared for new ports. Combined with DirectStorage I think the differences between consoles and PC in terms of game optimization/performance should be less of an issue than it is today due to hardware and software parity.
Xbox Series S and pricing leaked.
This time seems more legit.
Series S $299 or $25/month
Series X $499 or $35/month

Official now
Where's the second Walkie-Talkie?
It looks like a speaker. Or one of those adaptive controllers they had out a few years ago.

If true, $499 is a good price, imo. MS may be losing money selling the console. And no wonder why RTX 3070 is priced exactly at the price.
Here's to keeping my desktop and 980 5 to 7 more years!
Thanks Microsoft !
Thanks Microsoft !
For $299 its not bad.
Its a mini pc and really small. Its like made for PC gamers with extra cash.

if I understand it correctly its everything, Gamepass/Gold/Console. Since Series X is backwards compatible someone (like me) who already has a OneX can also trade that in, it currently goes for 150€ which reduces the price even more.

Damn... If this launched with Halo it would have been a wipeout.

As a console lover, this is one generation I'll be giving a wide birth.

"Next-gen performance"
I don't believe them. Also 512GB SSD is less space than current gen, CoD Warzone alone is 100GB.
I don't buy it either that they can put a decent hardware in that for only $300. Or they are selling it at a huge loss.
Some asshole on YouTube with some insight on production did the math about costs and came out that Series X APU(CPU+GPU) comes around at ~50-60$. This one is even cheaper.
Its mostly memory, gddr6 is ca $10/GB(10GB in S version) and nvme ssd that are costly.
They could be breaking even or selling at small loss but they are in it long term with subscriptions.

Fixed that.
My GTX980 is 5TF card and it will be faster than that.
One thing is sure, beside Sony exclusives there won't be "next gen" looking games.
Bit way too pessimistic, imo.
If its faster than current gen One X than its gonna be decent.
And Im sure it is.
900p/25fps is something sonyfag would say.
Lets wait and see but its gonna be a capable little machine.
Personally, im gonna get the X so it wont affect me but those looking for decent poorfag gaming its a steal.
$499 is a good price for the Series X if it performs as well as Digital Foundry and others are saying. Looking at it as a PC guy I can of course beat it by spending the same amount on a 3070, but only because I have everything else already. Notice they didn't confirm the $499 though, it's a jab to make Sony respond I bet. Still... I kind of expected $599, so that's impressive.
Anyway... remember the Series S is the lowest common denominator "next-gen" games will be based on. Series X's massively better GPU will mostly be used for 4k resolution/framerate and not much else. Good that the baseline has a good processor though, that was the bottleneck last time. This time it'll be a 4TF GPU I guess.

Good. A 12TF baseline would make budgets explode and turn games into 500GB sized assembly line "products".
Oh wait.
