The internet is on it..

For $500 I'll cop day one. Hopefully there aren't any shortages.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

$300 is a great deal for sure. Caught my interest.

same. Might cop so I can play a few games with my boy.

Nearly 60% smaller than the series x.

What is the point of having one be more powerful than the other. They'll both play the same games correct?

Because the Series X is relatively more expensive to manufacture that previous Xbox consoles. Price cuts will probably come slower. I would think it would give people a cheaper option to play next gen games.

Yeah but one will be 20fps while the other is 60 fps and higher.

If you care about that sort of thing.

They are targeting generally the same framerates. But different resolutions. 4K for series X, 1080p for Series S

As a man that bought the PS4, I'm thinking about copping the S. Love the form factor.

Can someone here explain the rationale as to why every multi-plat isn't doing crossplay? Are they still using the same old tired excuses from like 2014?

No idea

Sony is not a fan of crossplay

Probably don't want to give up the network effects of being a market leader with a closed ecosystem

 

[Ricky D]

Call of Duty, which is probably the biggest multiplayer game, came out the gate with cross play. Developers came at Sony's neck for not allowing it. Sony changed course and allowed it and those developers got quiet. For all that talk about just hitting a "switch", you'd think there would be a lot more developers implementing it in their games. Weird

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

i wish cross play was only between Playstation and Xbox. Too many hackers and unfair advantages for PC players. Especially in FPS games.

Microsoft has been pro crossplay since this current gen dropped but Sony isn't really with it

 

[townbidness]

I cancel cross play.
PC players going to always have a advantage

 

[KingParappa]

Be so unfair

Different markets. Gap doesn’t appeal to the old navy buyer etc. some people don’t need a $500 powerhouse. They are fine with their 1080p TVs

Im going to need them to start talking about One X trade in values now seeing where its still priced at the moment.

I'm in at 300. If I can get a good trade in on my two other Xboxes I'll cop the 500 one.
