Also, series s was promoted as a "current gen" console. And Spender was actually betting on the console to outsell series x. lol Just imaging how bright the person is, who had predicted this... https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/phil-spencer-thinks-xbox-series-s-will-end-up-outselling-xbox-series-x/ I think Mechanical HDD and old Jaguar was main reason. Gpu and system ram are fine but man that Jaguar suck a*s as cpu and hdd slow afk. SS does offer significant benefits in terms of cpu and ssd. I think SS requires some extra optimisation and AI resolution upscaling like DLSS otherwise game will struggle on it as time goes by due to lack of system memory. I hope MS starts working with AMD and focus on making FSR 2.0 norm for every Series games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are offering games on all platforms, no point in creating hurdles for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now luckily for Sony,their acquired studios delivered solid games after acquisition, sadly for MS we still waiting on games from their new studios. Outside of Coliation and PG not many studios delivered quality AAA games for Xbox console this generation. Hopefully that will change with Starfield and other upcoming Xbox studios games. And bro able to play these expensive a*s Activision games on game pass is good thing for everyone here. I mean you really want to pay 70$ for CoD every year? Lol.

So its a massive win for MS. Edited May 15, 2023 by Kazarka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamos Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 More drama lol. CMA responds to EU’s decision and says they stand by theirs. Microsoft still needs the clearance of FTC in the US and that isn’t certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
