Went from a PS5 to Xbox Series S 2 weeks ago and love it. and honestly can’t tell a difference with gameplay or graphics. Don’t know if I’m blind or there just isn’t that much difference and people are blowing it out of proportion. Idk I’m enjoying the Series S and have found a new appreciation for it and thats all that matters in the end.

Some games, especially those without ray tracing, will show not much difference in graphical quality alone on the Series S, but will almost always render at a lower native resolution and a lower framerate. It just depends on the games you play.

It's downgrade... The hardware is a down grade for a new gen system. It forces developers to hold back when building their games. It's not about how well it plays current games since they are held back and optimised for that hardware as well. I mean if you go from a PS5 to series S and see no difference then there really isn't much to say to you.

I've bought 2 Series S consoles in the past few years. Especially around the holidays I was lucky to get both for around $150. My kids LOVE them and having Gamepass helps my wallet out even more. I don't have to buy a game 3 times for all of us to play.

At least the series S forces devs to focus on quality control more often which they have to do in order to get the games better optimized to work on it. Which is something the gaming industry is severely lacking. Anything that forces them to do better is always a good thing.

As a family man, I have to say X-box is great for a family. Bit of a long story, in 2021 we updated our old 50' HD TV to a 65" 4K TV and we got ourselves a Series S to go with it, while my oldest son (5 at the time) got our old X-Box One (a year one X-Box One that was all digital because the disk drive went out) and the old 50" TV. We where starting to game as a family, my wife in the living room on the Series S, me in my office on my X-Box One, and my son in his room on his X-Box One. Just this past Christmas we upgraded to the Series X for $399, so I took the Series S into my office. My son seeing the faster X-Box as he called it, wanted one of his own. So he saved up his allowance and birthday money to get his own Series S 1TB addition on sale for $319. That has all three of us gaming together for less then $1000 (just hardware), so as a family we are loving it. As a added bonus my youngest son (now 5) is getting into gaming some so he might end up with that same old X-Box One system in his room joining the rest of us in Halo, Monster Hunter, and yes even Bluey/Paw Portal because of game pass.

Microsoft sells more S’s than X’s. I think that fact isn’t lost on them. Probably the metric they’re looking at the most.

I host a home on vacation rental websites and I put a Series S in the living room for my guests to enjoy during their stay. Streaming subscriptions & Game Pass Ultimate. Can’t beat the price to value the Series S provides. The game pass subscription can be used on two different consoles so I bought a second console to test for quality. A 5 star experience for my guests is my number one priority so I make sure the games are enjoyable and being able to use a second console makes it convenient to “work” from home.

I’m 56 and for whatever reason I have never been able to do fps type games on a controller. Two sticks lead to frustration. But, there are a lot of games on Xbox that I do enjoy that don’t require that type of coordination and that led me to divert off my PC and buy a series S. It works well for me. I don’t have issues with visuals. DIV and BG3 play great. I dunno I’m tired of hearing about it. Series S has its place and a lot of people have bought one.

That was a large factor I mentioned when I was on the floor selling the consoles to people. They'd ask what the difference was and I'd have to clarify it. Basically, if they only wanted to add gaming to their existing setup, I recommended the S. If they already had the balls to the wall (at the time) TV and wanted gaming, or they were buying the whole kit and kaboodle at once, I'd rec the X. If one can play all the same games and the screen they're using can't show the difference, why pay the extra? These days it is a lot easier to buy a new TV with all the extras needed for full usage of the consoles, but a few years back, they were few and far between. That, and it was near impossible to get Xs into the store. Stock was a nightmare. So we tended to have a lot of Ss. So thankfully that variation probably helped smooth a lot of ruffled feathers over the Xs stock shortages.

For gamers who have the series s like should have no problems

Thanks to bots I purchased a Series S when I could actually get one at retail and I also have a high end pc, I could say these consoles are holding back gaming but maybe it's good that game developers have to make their games easier to be played on something like a rtx 2060 instead of forcing games that would take a RTX 4090 just to play the thing.

My TV is nice, but only goes to 60fps in 4K. I've hooked up the Series S and Series X to compare, and the S really does perform well. What's funny is that PC games work on such a wide range of systems, but developers have a hard time with two configurations for the XBox... I think it's more a capability issue with these programmers.

@SilentGamingShow

12 күн бұрын

The issue isn't just about developer capability, but rather the constraints imposed by the Xbox ecosystem. 1. Feature parity: Microsoft requires that games maintain feature parity between the Series S and X. This means developers can't simply remove features from the S version while keeping them on the X. Both versions must have the same core features, which can limit what developers can do with the more powerful X. 2. Hardware differences: The Series S has significantly weaker hardware compared to the X, especially in terms of GPU power. This makes it challenging to achieve the same performance and visual quality on both systems. 3. Console vs. PC development: It's easier to develop for a wide range of PC hardware because: a) PC games often have scalable settings that users can adjust based on their hardware. b) PC hardware is more open and flexible, allowing for easier optimization. c) Consoles have stricter certification processes and performance requirements. 4. How S holds X back: Because developers must ensure their games run well on the weaker Series S, they may have to limit certain aspects of the game (like graphical fidelity, world complexity, or physics simulations) to maintain acceptable performance on the S. This can prevent them from fully utilizing the X's superior hardware, as the core game design must accommodate the S's limitations. In summary, it's not just about programmer capability, but rather the specific challenges posed by developing for two fixed hardware configurations with significant power differences, while adhering to Microsoft's requirements for feature parity.

Plus, as you pointed out, now they have to develop for handhelds as well as PC's that could have anything from a 1050 to 4090 so to say that the S is holding back gaming is a crock.

Not sure what the fuse is about, had my Xbox series s since the pandemic and have had no issues.

I mostly play digital indie games. The Series S is at the perfect price point for what I use it for. Allot of games just run better on the S compared to say, my oled switch which is about the same price.

I was born & lived into the first days of the gaming industry & electronics. I had no choice but to be groomed into electronics and how to build certain electronics. Without a doubt the XBSS is hurting the gaming industry.

Everything can (in what kind of form or state) run on anything with enough time and optimization. Thing is that it's an added cost for the developer. Will they think their effort will have a return on investment at a platform that is relative small compared to other platforms and where a lot of consumers don't buy games because of the rental service they use. So it not if it can run but how much it costs and if it's worth it for the developer.

Mine came with 3 months game pass ultimate too at $249 seemed like a good deal to me...

i think there is a lace for the series s i just wish the would drop the parity between consoles and allow staggered releases on the series s

The games on Series S are the exact same game but the Xbox is instructed to run it at lower settings... The devs dont even have to do anything apart from put that instruction in. Its essentially the Max, High, medium, and low setting like on a PC

12:16 The XBSS is holding back gaming. Games could look and perform so much better on the XB1X Pro (aka XBSX) had the XBSS not of ever been made.

So when Microsoft says they don't allow games to exclude features when delivering a game to their platform, does this come as a direct response to the Rockstar situation with GTAV? Remember, the launch for 360 was the same as Xbox One minus First Person mode, the extended Radio playlists and the visuals being quite different

Series S ain't holding back anything, developers are lazy not to optimize their games

It’s a great console. I work over 60 hours a week and so coming home and being able to do one of my favourite hobbies for cheap has saved my bacon. I don’t have the time to care about resolutions and frame rates so spending as little as possible to save money for future me is great

XBOX Series S emulates XBOX (2005 era) games perfectly fine. I originally bought a Series S because of the chip shortage and Series X were too rare. I later purchased the Series X; and then another Series X a year later. $3 for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on Xbox Marketplace (old XBOX360 Live marketplace), if you go to regular XBOX site, it's $15. My XBOX Series S is now my dedicated server as that game supports that (PC version doesn't have dedicated server). I still haven't had a chance to see if an original XBOX running disc version of Spinter Cell: CT can network (actually find a game) with the 9th gen XBOX's, but I don't see why not.

There's a reason I got the series x over that lesser thing. Also helped my ISP had a deal on the all access gamepass that gave us 2 years gamepass and allowed us to pay it off on our account over 2 years. Was a no brainer.... POWEEERRRRRRRR and a disc drive for my older games, ya know most of us have og xbox, 360, and xb1 games (thats where xbox trumps ps with the backwards compatibility 😊). I suppose that's a round about way of saying I think digital only consoles suck and it saddens me that computers are dropping the disc drives. I maybe showing my age here but I still use and buy music cds.... oh the nostalgia of making my own mix track cds for in the car

I want to buy a second hand series s to play Minecraft,forza Horizon 5,GTA 5 and og cod games for story Should i get it?(The orice is like 180-200 bucks)

this feels lot like priority issue less of the series S issue. A lot of the games run better on ps4/5 was due to the vast amount of installment base compared to the xbox installment base. so the prioritize the PlayStation over Xbox because of the reasoning.

great ray keep the option open to those less critical of what they prefer to enjoy

i have a series S and i love it, it runs everything i play just fine at 120fps 🤷‍♂️

Your developer friend was spot on! Well done! 👍

I think the thing holding us back isn't the Series S it's the last gen, when we went into next gen the companies were trying to focus on the ability to use old tech and be kept in the loop longer, which is great it just didn't transfer properly as hardware limitations of previous gen I argue the one X would have probably been okish but anything below that wasn't going to happen, they couldn't focus on streaming as the technology isn't there in some countries, dev studios have only really started to focus on pure next gen games and that has hurt next gen badly we've not really seen many new decent games and those that have been good haven't really been pushing next gen consoles, I'm scared as I really don't think we'll see anything decent on the current gen consoles before the next consoles come out and I'm scared I've wasted £500 and not be able to get much back from that in order to buy the next console even know I have the series X.

I really want to buy a S but the more I wait to see what's happening the more I read about the s holding back Xbox...I'm almost convinced that I should move over to Sony

I had the black 1tb series S since the day it came out until about 2 months ago, got a series X on sale and for the delisted games that you can still buy physically, that's the only reason, and I cannot tell a difference in graphics video quality on the same 4k TV i used my series S with that's now being used with my X

Honesty thinking about upgrading to Series X so I can run native 4k at 120hz instead of upscaled 4k at 60hz There's a massive difference in what the game will show. Plus running Elden ring in quality mode vs performance mode also changes alot of what you see. Ether way this t.v. for me is a huge upgrade in quality compared to the 1080p 26 inch screen I was using. Which now I'm using a 43 inch screen and would love maxed graphics for The First Decedant on the Series X which comes out next week. Or even Gears if War 6.

I don't have native 4k running with Ray tracing with an output of 1800p on Xbox Series X to a 2160 display. New to all this T.V. and game spec stuff so correct me if I am wrong. I did take pictures of The Division 2 in 1080p resolution and then 2160p upscale to 4k through Series S and it changes alot with the polygrams, the way items and models look, lighting, what's allowed through coloration. Honesty thinking about upgrading to Series X so I can run native 4k at 120hz instead of upscaled 4k at 60hz There's a massive difference in what the game will show. Plus running Elden ring in quality mode vs performance mode also changes alot of what you see. Ether way this t.v. for me is a huge upgrade in quality compared to the 1080p 26 inch screen I was using. Which now I'm using a 43 inch screen and would love maxed graphics for The First Decedant on the Series X which comes out next week. Or even Gears if War 6. But paying $500 I can't afford that for probaly 2 more months. Also just enabled Dolby Vision for more details. I prefer running Series S at max graphics than frames.

@@JustinBlazeDraxx based on what you want, the Series X makes more sense. It's important to note that not everyone has 4K TVs, so many people who buy the X, might not be using it to it's full potential like how you would be

@ragingtyga Do I need a 2.1 Hdmi for the Xbox Series X when I get it and what about the t.v. I use?

@@JustinBlazeDraxx The only reason 2.1 is necessary is in order to run a 4K 120hz connection. If that's your goal, you'll need 2.1,which most current TVs these days have and you don't have to spend alot if money

Bro stick some cable ties on them two Television cables dangling down! 😂 Great video tho the s is definitely causing a lot of pain

Lmao at the cables

I haven't bought a series Xbox and I don't have any complaints.

I got my Series S a little after release, preowned, for just under £200. The Series X was like gold dust then; I never upgraded my Xbox One beyond the launch model and as I said, the Series S was a great price, so I went with it. During the pandemic, it served my gaming needs very well. With lockdowns, it was fantastic as a media unit too. I have since bought a Series X, but I still use the S frequently. I don't see why it gets the hate it does. Holding back gaming? If developers optimized their games properly from the start, rather than releasing a product riddled with bugs and glitches and charging folks £70+, they might see fewer issues overall.

I did regret buying the X for years because nothing went above 60 fps to suit the series S. Love how they are finally utilizing some of the power of the X. I spent a lot of money on building an expensive gaming PC to get the fps way up there because of that. Still love the X now they are using it.

The only difference can't just be the disk drive lol. The size should have been obvious it wouldn't be as powerful. If they had the same power they'd be the same size and then no one would buy the digital. Might as well have the disk option at that point. I'm shocked people find this surprising. Every S version has been this way.

as someone who never played xbox so i dont have a physical library, the series S was perfect as a gamepass console

My buddy has a S and is a hardcore Resident Evil fan. Newest remake won't play on the S. That money has already been spent. Now he needs a upgrade to play this game.

I need like 50 more bucks for a series s, ive been playing on switch for like 6 years i love series s great for budget

Glad i was patient and just got the series x

Same tbh…especially since so many games were still supported on my Xbox one i never felt any pressure to hurry up and upgrade till I could afford the X

The Series S isn't all that bad i had one and tested it on high medium and low quality. It runs really well in 1440p at 120FPS and also 1080p at 120FPS some games do run best at 60FPS but it isn't that bad. However if you try and force the console to go 4K Ultra in 120FPS you will find a lot of FPS drops and decreased high quality because it can't run that level quality. It is a great small console especially if you just want to jump on and game with friends, but for best high quality detail and FPS Series X is key. I have been considering on getting a Series S for my lounge to jam with friends on split screen at 1080p at 120FPS, it works best on this setting in my opinion.

If they add steam I will definitely be getting an Xbox x

Microsoft ready 😊

I think Series S is the best thing Xbox has done for console gaming. One problem may be simultaneous release, because a Switch version of AAA games takes extra time to optimise. Once the next Switch has a solid install base I don't think it will be a problem. Why it's a problem now shouldn't be the fault of Series S, as I'm sure lower spec PCs are catered for, and the Steam Deck should be. (Oh, except maybe the RAM is an issue.)

Honestly they need to make it look like a 360 but use the same hard drive on series x 😊

Please turn down your reverb. I had to skip through most of the video, because the echo was giving me a headache.

I have both X and S...I prefer my X but not for traveling. The S is my HOME Xbox, so don't miss the disc drive, I gave NOT had any issues with either one. So I'm happy. I also have PS5 and it's definitely NOT for traveling. So I play it in my gameroom when I'm not playing X box. Loblve that you're honest and neutral! 👍👍 Also i buy digital games that i know we'll play together...so 1 game for 2 xboxes! 💕

I think the s is good if you are on a budget because you can get it and game pass. I’m so so about calling it next gen but it technically is. I really think had they made the s a handheld that paired with the x people would like it more. Didn’t they just show off a new x and s but they are color swapped and have more space?

This man's TV is mounted too high for my liking. 🧐

Series S would be fine if Microsoft stopped requiring AAA/top tier games to be fully functional on S in order to release to X. If you buy a budget gaming system, you do so knowing you mise out on a lot (just like staying with previous Gen)

Next gen xbox the problem will be fixed by only the one console if the devs can do s version they will say xbox won't force them anymore

Ray I thank you are Right on Master Chief edition I would love to see Halo the first one redone completely with the technology that they have now and maybe some more driving spots where you're all in the same vehicle shooting that would be awesome And yes sports is water sports yes most definitely but one single console what are you going to name it the xpc United edition

11:11 The PS4 Pro is better then the XBSS. The XBSS is a 8th gen console.

It's not tho

This was the reason I waited to get the series x

Series S is a very good console for being small and running highly detailed games, dont know why people find the littlest reasons to make it a bad console, minus the SSD. Its still a good console for being a compact one and lightweight.

8:54 MS should shut down all the servers for the XBSS and shut the project down all together. Leaving only the 8th gen XB1X Pro (aka XBSX).
