Everything You Need To Know About Xbox Series X

@santinegrete: you want to hold the next gen back for your own selfish purpose of getting more life for a money grab console?

@santinegretePhil Spencer already confirmed Xbox One X will be supported well into the new genration cycle. However he did not say anything about the Xbox One S getting support.

@santinegrete: It should. If I bought an X I would be mad if it didn't. If they can get ps4 games running on switch they can get Xbox 2 games on xbonerx.

@santinegrete: My assumption is that they'll continue to support it. With the specs given above, the X should outperform the Lockhart model, at least as far as the GPU, which I think clocks in over 6 teraflops. The X is pretty powerful and should be capable of outliving the original 2013 model given it's substantially smoother performance and true 4k abilities.

@nintendians: Anaconda will run games better. Names won't matter, the prices will.

@teamparadox2k: I guess I'm unconvinced about the benefits of gaming's supposed lord and savior "Ray Tracing". While I could see them using cloud computing to handle physics, it seems unlikely that they could effectively use it to help rendering. I really want them to use cloud computing to drive better AI.

Imagine playing the next CoD with bots that you can fine tune their skills to how you want to play. Want to wreck noobs? Set the AI to dumb. Want to actually get better and challenge yourself? Set the AI to smart. Though I imagine creating an AI to play games as well as humans could be a whole project in and of itself. Still, having enemies that do more than crouch behind cover and peek their head up every 5 seconds so you can headshoot them would be nice. Not to mention a computer teammate that isn't a total waste if space.

@jsprunk: You're basing your decision off of exclusives? lol If they released at least twice a year then okay yeah but to buy a console for a few games within at least 6 years doesn't make much sense. Games you can beat in 2 days if you had nothing better to do.

@jsprunk So are you saying that because they didn't mention the word "exclusive" in this Gamespot article, that it means that Xbox's next generation will never have any exclusives? Is that what you think and feel?

Honestly, they didn't mention the word "cheeseburger" either, but I am sure that people on the development team will be eating when they get hungry.

I guess we are all just not understanding the message you are trying to convey.

@jsprunk: you only play exclusives in your PS? Then in this case, you play one game per year... will you buy a console to play a game per year? lool
WTF... but what about Sony TOP10 sellers? All games are multi platform... OMG do not make senses the word exclusive ...

@lionheartssj1: As rumours have it there will be a cheap one that uses cloud base computing and the expensive model will work like your traditional console

@lionheartssj1: You'll be fine dude.

@lionheartssj1: that may be my plan too sir. Well, with current orientation of game development already (monetized fragments of content, only multiplayer, forced syncin' increasing load times) the choice could be just easier. The games I want to play aren't in the market anymore except for 1 or 2 every 3 years. This year was golden tough (Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 2).

@lionheartssj1: data sent back and forth can be made incredibly small with 8x compression. We are talking using maybe 10mb per hour on a game where the cloud is rendering some of the visuals and/or physics and it would only require 1mbps. You use more bandwidth visiting 2 websites. The average website is 10-20mb. So cloud compute stuff would enhance games significantly and use way less bandwidth than you think

The future is a mix of local rendering combined with cloud rendering. For example the cloud could render stuff that's far away at high detail while the console locally renders close stuff at high detail

Combing the 2 will lead to visuals that are unbelievably good and wouldn't require a very fast connection or data. Literally loading this page and making a comment used more bandwidth than an hour of a mixed cloud and local rendering system.

@BadJujuEA: okay a lot of issues with this

N64 vs PS - while the n64 looked a lot cleaner and no Laos times practically the ps could have vastly more complex audio and environmental detail.

Xbox vs PS2 - a brand new console that isn’t proven vs a console that was already out for a year

Xbox 360 vs PS3 - at the end of the console cycle the PS3 sold more consoles. And yes the PS3 was more powerful from pure spreadsheet terms but was so hard to code for it actually made the 360 the more powerful console for a giant chunk of the console generation.

PS4/pro vs Xbox one/X - isn’t a fair comparison. The PS4 is straight up stronger than the One, and that’s when a massive sale lead happened. The pro vs X is a while mother story. The X is selling very well for Microsoft and the pro doesn’t really feel like a worthy upgrade all to much vs the base model.

All in all it comes down to whatever console launches the best, Cause then it snowballs from there. If all your friends has said console you will probably get it yourself.

@BadJujuEA: where you get that statistics?

MS do not report console sales :S

@bot101101: No. They are making a console specifically to not have any games....ever.

Have you ever seen a console launch without games being shown.? I never have. Buts its 18 to 24 months away. So what are you expecting at this point?

And it is not needed to say that you won'y buy a console until you see some games. That is true for every person who ever buys a console.

@bot101101: you have a lot of games in xbox... running much better in xbox than PS.

You mean exclusives? Exclusives are 1% of the games market... Sony TOP10 will tell you all best games... all multi platform... please check it.

If you buy a console to play a game per year, then that's OK... LOOOOL

Exclusive exclusive exclusive is a kid conversation...
