Main difference is the GPU in which maximum resolution would be 1080P-1440P. If you don't have a 4K HDR TV or plan on getting one, this would probably be your best bet if you want a gaming console. CPU, RAM and SSD all remain the same as Xbox Series X.
If thats the case, im immediately out. I literally just invested in a CX OLED that I plan on lasting me until affordable MicroLED is out, so theres no way im buying a console that wont utilize the TV specs.

Okay. Series X will be for you then if you decide to stay with consoles. Majority don't believe that it will go past $500 so I would assume that will be for you unless you decide to go the PC route.

After a glimpse of Madden, I'm in day 1 now for a Series X.

I would much rather buy a PC, but youd have to factor in a desk, monitor, keyboard, speakers, as well as the PC build itself so youd be looking at $3k-$4k instead of just $500 for the XSX, so that's what ill probably be getting.

Jeez, that's expensive. Hope you enjoy the Xbox Series X as much as I will.

If the rumors that this Series S is going to be $200 is true I will buy this along with the PS5. Ive never bought a Xbox before but for $200 and the exclusives that are supposed to come out Im ok doing it at that price point.

I just think $200 is too cheap for a next gen console. If the rumors are true about the main difference from the Series X is that it will be a 4 TF and most likely digital. it would benefit from SSD, CPU(probably clocked a little lower). I think $300 is a more logical price. As long as you are at least $100 cheaper than the All Digital PS5, that should entice those who wants the next gen experience but at lowest cost. $200 seems like the price if they wanted to quickly phase out the Xbox One generation. But since their first party will support current gen for the first year or 2, they aren't trying to phase it out as quickly. I like the pro-consumer routes they are taking. It just seems like they are taking the PC approach. Where they don't care which console you play on, they just want you in their ecosystem. I think it is more likely Microsoft matches the Sony price than to undercut with the Series X. While it was BS when they said they are not competing with Sony or Nintendo, I don't see them undercutting price especially with Phil Spencer saying it is okay if you don't want to buy the Series X this year. I think it is best for Xbox to match Price(I'm thinking $500) and going for the "Power" crown as it's selling point over Sony. While I definitely think Sony will continue to outsell Xbox, I don't think it will be as lopsided as this generation.

While I'm not getting a Xbox, I'm definitely looking forward to the July event. I hope to see some visually stunning games. Xbox just have to prove that it is more than just Forza, Halo, and Gears. Sony has proven that Single Player games can still sell very well. They need more quality exclusives. While it was very pro-consumer to support current gen with 1st party exclusives, they should have had at least some exclusives for the Series X only. It would have been great to have a few games that were fully optimized for the Series X at the beginning. If they still have to support Launch Xbox One and the Series S is real, then their first party developers would have to optimize games for SIX different consoles until they cut off current gen. You can scale graphics but not design. So exclusives will be held back until they cut off last gen. They will still have to run properly on all last gen consoles. So I can see their SSD not being fully utilized in their games outside of fast loading initially. Even Series S would hold it back some. Because in best case scenarios, Series S exclusives would lower resolution and graphical effects.


But a $250-300 next gen console that can at least hit 1080p60, SSD benefits, and still gives you the next gen experience is a great option for a secondary console. Pair that with Gamepass to play the first party exclusive games, that is a good option. I wouldn't do it because I prefer just one console and you would be getting a downgrade experience of an exclusive
