I’ve got both and there’s nothing to play on series x right now (for me).

I’ll wait for Xbox to release a killer exclusive in a year or two.

Redfall: don’t care

Starfield: don’t care (it’s going to be buggy and run at 18 fps).

I can’t believe how many killer games Sony has released since launch and Xbox has nothing (for me).

Why… that’s nearly as much ram as my PC?!

No, I buy for one or the other (and usually base my choice on digital foundry analysis between platforms).

Elden ring, for example, runs better on PS5. If you haven’t already, check out digital foundry on the YouTube and you’ll see which games run better and where.

I’d probably go series X considering many games from your library will run better with higher resolution and frame rates…

I have both and PS5 does feel more premium with outstanding exclusives - but that’s, like, my opinion.

It’s going to be a good years for Xbox first party games - I’d hold on (I own both).

Hopefully Tears of the Kingdom.

Series S is a big upgrade from PS4.

PS5 is a big upgrade from series S.

Lol, underrated comment.

No, it can’t - you foolish. Do none of you watch technical reviews.

triple A games DO NOT run native 4K 120 - they don’t run native 4K 60.

Your series x won’t even run ray tracing above 30 fps.

But you likely don’t know the difference because yo mind too weak.

Tell you what - go do your own homework or, by all means, buy a series S and enjoy.

I ain’t here taking requests. I don’t f**k wit series S based on a plethora of Digital Foundry reviews.

Go an watch their performance breakdowns… or don’t - no one cares what you do, child.

1440p average frame rate, eh? Child, you don’t know what you talking about.

Horizon Forbidden West.

Kena bridge of spirits

Ghosts of Tsushima director’s edition

Elden Ring

1440p is the highest resolution they might achieve with dynamic resolution not only rarely hitting the target, but often dropping below 1080p in high burden situations.

You know regardless of target resolution, these consoles rarely hit 1440p in performance mode.

If you know this, why make a deceptive statement?

This is all wrong. In 95% of cases, both consoles drop the resolution close to 1080p to hit their performance modes.

There are very few examples of fully featured games hitting 60 fps with native 4K output.

You also drop ray tracing with a 60 fps output. PCs with 30-series GPUs far outperform these consoles.

I have series X and PS5. I wouldn’t waste my time with a low performing console.

Xbox one X often hits higher resolution and has more compute units on the GPU.

OP - nothing wrong with a series S, but do not expect high performance moving forward.

There are plenty of developer videos bemoaning the series S. you won’t see third party releases hit 60fps moving forward.

Or you can believe these (clearly broke) jokers who bought a cheap console.

Not max graphics. No ray tracing and significantly lower resolution.

You guys are gaslighting OP if you’re saying that series S provides a reliable 60hz on the average modern game.

So… three or four last gen titles? Nothing developed after 2020 that’s cross platform runs at 120 hz

Most games are capped at 30 fps and don’t share a performance mode with series X and PS5.

This isn’t due to innate imitations, but developer choices. Modern vintage gamer (MVG) talks about his experience developing for series S - it doesn’t receive its own dev kit - series s and x have one dev kit between them.

That means you switch the dev kit to series S mode and reduce the features until the performance and resolution are stable. If development favours the series X (which it does), most devs resort to a 30 fps cap to get their game running on series S.

If frame rate AND resolution aren’t a priority for you, series S is great value.

If you want 60 fps and/or 4K - this is not the console for you.

• my commentary is not for first party games. This is for cross platform games.

I’ve got both. I’m a long time PS user, but went with series X for back compat and automatic performance upgrades on a catalogue I haven’t really played.

That said, after a year of series x I got a PS5 - PS5 with horizon FW feels more premium and next gen than anything I’ve played on series X.

Yeah… almost like if you take a good rogue-like - and then make a real video game out of it, with progression instead of repetition - you get a better game.

Any rogue-like is improved by not being a rogue-like. Laziest genre in the industry.

Hall and Oates - kind of…

Yess… I did intend Arkham Knight. Although I liked city better. Bat-mobile didn’t do it for me.

And while we’re at it, Gotham Knights deserves a next gen patch too ;)

Blood borne 2.

Arkham City next gen patch.

Axiom Verge 3.
