I prefer stable frames over graphical fidelity, so it's looking like I might choose the Series S.

I have Series S, and while it is really a great console, I think it should've been half of what Series X is, which means 28CUs, 6 Teraflops and 12GB of ram (giving games 10 for use). I've played a lot of games and I had some pop up textures issues in Mafia 3 for example. Also, if it was half of X, it could run games at higher internal res, and some games could run at 60 instead of 30 (Evil West for example).

I do feel the Series S does get a raw deal when it comes to image quality on many games, games could be better on it if there were more care and attention to it. Games have been scaleable on consoles since they went x86, they are more or less using the PC port of a game, fine-tuned and optimised to get better performance on the given console hardware, but for the most part, the code on PC, PS and Xbox is mostly the same with a few branch off points to get better use of each other given platforms. It also means these games should be very scaleable thanks to how games scale on the PC, I do feel the Series S could get better use if developers put more effort in the games, especially on image quality which seems to take a big hit on Series S, but honestly, it's clear to see that developers are putting there focus on the PC, PS5 and Series X version of the game, whereas it feels a lot of the times they are just trying to get it working on the Series S but don't care that much about the quality. What I find remarkable is that games should scale much better on consoles now, with them having backwards compatibility, and assuming future gen consoles have backwards compatibility, you would think more developers would take that into account and have options that scale the game up for future hardware, most of the work is already done on the PC port of the game, it wouldn't be that difficult to scale that on future gen consoles as an option.

I just hope people don't get screwed again like BO3 on PS3 and Xbox 360, although I don't think it'll run or look as bad as those versions did.

Ive been having a great experience with the S. I've recently been PC gaming and complementing with the S. Its just a joy and they complement my lifestyle. For example, I'm probably playing Borderlands 3 on PC then, when I just want to chill and play split screen with my partner, I use the S with the lastest save file. Honestly, MS build an impressive ecosystem between Xbox and PC.

All these games are also on base Xbox One. I’d be curious to see a video on how that’s holding up for new games.

​@@Igolorbr It's 2024.

i own a series s and a specific game im interested in is marvel's midnight suns. i see i can get a version for series s or a one x version that the series s would also run but i have no info on performance/issues.

I love the One X so much I'll never get rid of mine. It's the bedroom "streaming tv box" now and it takes a week to boot compared to the Series X in the living room, but it's still there soldiering on.

Im not done with my trusty ol 1X.

Hot take: Series S is the best console this gen. For less than 200 bucks I can have an Xbox, a great controller, game pass, emulation (both the license and HDD to store plenty of games) and a great media machine that takes us virtually no space and makes no sound, all while playing every game at 60fps and looking good. To me, the Series X and Ps5 just aren't really worth the extra money. My PS5 is just a dust magnet these days. Sure, the extra power is nice but I'm of the opinion that virtually all games look great even on crappy machines anyway.

true. I mean, I'm a playstation user and really impressed by the power of my series s. very quiet while playing. I'm not even thinking twice about buying it rather than series x. and pretty much the ps5 is a decent console but I might wait for the pro version instead. I can hold a year or two and play lot of games with gamepass (imo who's partially into gaming bcs of work).

Has this comparison been carried out with the One X having and SSD installed in it, to be a fair one to one comparison? if not, please come back to us with that comparison.

If the Series S had a disk drive, I would have gotten that instead of the X. I have a gaming PC for super high-end looks and performance. When I'm playing on my living room TV, I only need "good enough." That why I didn't bother with the One X. My One S was, and still is, perfectly acceptable for relaxing after a long day.

As before, the loading time comparison overlooked a proper apples to apples comparison. Of course an HDD will load far slower than a custom SSD. However, you guys could have easily installed a fast SSD inside the One X for a proper comparison.

Lol series S is holding back series X, while they are still releasing games for base ps4 and xbox one

Last gen consoles have been crippled since release in 2013 by their terrible Jaguar cpus. A 6 TFLOP gpu makes absolutely no sense when the cpu can barely keep up with an entry level Core i3 from that era.

Even if developers gave both console equal attention, the One X would fall behind the Series S. Alan Wake 2 proved that you can claw back memory on current gen consoles, that was made a point by Alan Wake 2 developers with dealing with the Series S. Hellblade 2 could never run on One X at the level of performance of the Series S. I heard a guest on Moore's Law is Dead claimed that mesh shaders gives developers the option to either, double performance or double graphic fidelity, so I took that as Series S has theoretically 8 teraflops compared to One X's 6 teraflops. In conclusion the Series has faster storage, a stronger CPU, and with current generation feature set that is now being utilize, it now has a more powerful GPU.

Thank you for dropping some knowledge on a saturday 😁👍🏻

The CPU and IO were just much much much slower last-gen, including One X. Very hard to get around that.

Xbox Series S is really underrated. It is amazing, affordable hardware with some small drawbacks (mostly not enough ram, why microsoft couldn't give it 12gb baffles me to this day). Runs most of modern games with good framerate and looks really good on 1080p and 1440p displays. I bought mine back in september 2021 to play Lost Judgment and played a lot of releases since. It was my main gaming console until i bought Steam Deck Oled (i consider deck a handheld, not just a pc) 2 months ago. I recently finished Hellblade 2 on series S and the game still looked amazing after lowering the power of motion blur from default 10 to 3.
