Sorry, but count me out, Colt. When I first heard you talk about the power of the Series X before launch I was super hyped. You explained all the technobabble about how the X would have special hardware set aside for RT, as well as special components to process different aspects of gaming separately, allowing for 4k 60fps with ray tracing. I got my X one day 1. I was promised 4k 60fps with ray tracing. That didn't happen. I was patient at first because games were being developed for Xbox One as well as the Series. MS went out of their way to fill the void of yet-unreleased games by bumping up the frame rate for older games. But now it's been 2.5 years and we still haven't gotten the games or performance that Big Phil promised. Yes...less than a month from Starfield, but like I said we are 2.5 years in and it's now "beginning". So all this talk about a mid-gen refresh is insulting to me. NOW they want to make another console that can...err...actually do the things that we were told the Series X could do? I'll believe it when I see it. And all this "mid-gen refresh" has taught me is that I should wait until the next mid-gen to upgrade. None of the processing numbers and such mean anything to me now. I was promised an amazing 4k 60fps with ray tracing before I bought this. So far that hasn't happened. I have absolutely zero reason to think it will happen with the next iteration. I love my X. I love GamePass. But I have not been given the performance I was promised. Until I see that happening, I won't be buying anything. No more Day One purchases for me.

Well do as you want, someone else will get one and also dont blame Phil for what devs are doing with the console. Most devs arent using all the tools to really push the XSX console mainly by 3rd parties either due to lack of experience, no time to really cater to the xbox version, or not using all resources to try to keep all multiplaform games equal since Sony likes to add parity clauses meaning even if the Xbox versions looked and played better the devs have to lowered the Xbox version just so the PS version doesnt look bad. Also during the first 2 years a lot of Xbox games were cross platform and devs had to split time and resources for XSX and Xbox one.

We've got to a point in graphical ability that underperforming visually doesn't mean bad as much as it used to. Nintendo for example shows that heart of the game is more important than the face but also quality of detail in general can make a game special

It really depends on much more than just shader compute performance. The 6700xt has much more cache, a lot more on the front end as well, more ROPs, TMUs, and those matter more in some cases than pure shader count. Ampere doubled the shaders per SM, which increased its higher resolution performance, but didn’t do much of anything for its lower res performance.

Console gaming isn't about the peak performance it's about wanting to sit down after a long day and just play a game. I didn't buy a PC for a reason

Honestly if they go this route you might as well just get a gaming PC. You can get them for slightly more than the new consoles and they allow you to upgrade them as you wish/at your own pace. This is however if midgen refreshes are planned. Hard to believe they are but considering how much Sony/Xbox overpromised I could see it maybe being necessary to meet expectations.

Also many of the “what abouts” you mentioned can be remedied. No monitor, use a TV, Keyboard and Mouse are usually included etc. I guess my main point is if these lazy console manufacturers just keep pushing out consoles that underperform or get half ass use from you might as well just invest in something you have control over. If you buy a Series X you don’t control how its used or supported. If I buy/build a gaming PC I know for a fact that it will be used fully.

The Microsoft executives already said in court that they don’t expect a new console until 2028. That’s what I expect, too, since we’re just now seeing games that are exclusive to the series consoles.

Only reason why PS is doing a PS5 Pro version is cuz the PS5 is weaker than XSX, Sony wants to throw in they have the most powerful console as a one up to MS. Xbox doesnt really need a mid-gen upgrade cuz devs are not using all the tools and resources to really push the XSX console to its potential. As for next-gen they definitely need to do what Sony did with its two SKUs and have them be exactly the same hardware wise with the difference being one SKU is all digital for a lower price and the other has a disc drive in it. That would solve a lot of headaches for devs trying to work on XSX and XSS features.

It’s a shame we still haven’t seen anywhere near the fullest feature set that the Series X can output, tbh. Games still look great, but we need more FSR 2 and DLSS development into current gen games.

We are still seeing ps4 and Xbox one games being developed so I think a new generation is still a ways off. The main problem is that games are taking longer to develop and publishers are pushing early deadlines onto development process which is cutting corners. You can have the best pc hardware right now which is miles ahead of consoles and new games are still full of stutter and issues at launch… hitting it with a bigger hammer (more powerful hardware) is not going to fix anything they need to fix the problem at the source which is allowing the developers more time to optimise the games for each platform….

I worked at Motive on Deadspace remake, i can confirm there are dev kits for the new XB 'Leviathan' and PS 'Picasso', very very powerful machines given dev kits for DS2 which we started working on as they came in, obviously these are placeholder names and it will most likely be PS5 Pro and SX2, there is no new version of the SS bar more slightly more memory and will be 1tb from late next year, Sony launching late 2024, not sure if the new XB is going to next gen or classed as a mid gen refresh but it is RDNA4 based, cannot confirm that for a fact but the new consoles are a year away.

Digital Foundry literally has said that Xbox wins most multiplat comparisons. There’s a post from John Linneman saying this. However, it seems that whenever a big name game performs better on PS5 that is all that matters and Xbox’s wins fall by the wayside it’s insane. Xbox has to literally become PlayStation to get credit for anything

Games struggling with frame rate is a developing problem, not a console problem. The devs are aware of the console hardware and need to put more effort in to developing their games to suit the console's performance.

We don't need new hardware. I'm so tired of frame rate drama. Even when the developers never promised 60fps and have never delivered a 60 fps title people are mad. I'm not paying another $600 for a slightly new box that I already have

PS3 was released with $599.99 model and it didn't much help back then either. There are too many PC ports underperforming on people with $1,000 gpus. Issue is happening too frequently to convince me that extra hardware can offset poor design and optimization. Personally I'm getting much more appreciation from from AA and indie titles that seem to have better grasp on visuals versus performance compared to most AAA devs currently.

If we’re changing consoles like underwear I may need to start flipping mine inside out after the first 5 years 😂

They can't even sell the regular Series X and they are making a refresh. This shit makes no sense.

I'm not worried about a PS5 pro or series x2. I lf the refreshes happen, okay cool, I'll upgrade, but I don't think we need to, but people want it. I think the real reason this is getting traction is because people want devs to be able to brute force their way into optimized gaming w/ stronger hardware. Because realize that the same issues will happen as some devs will still need more time to dev their game.

@curtisbaker1030

Жыл бұрын

The same issues will happen again on new hardware. thats a fact. No need to rush here. Let the devs get comfortable with the current consoles.

My intuition points strongly towards a mid-gen Series X Elite, rather than a 2026 new generation of consoles. A new gen in 2026 would introduce at least one additional SKU for devs to port to on top of the X|S. By contrast, a Series X Elite's architecture would be near identical to the X, so the extra SKU would not inflate dev work as badly as an X2, which would need to be significantly different to the X. Now, one advantage of the new gen approach could be that the Series S2 could be essentially a Series X Slim; the S2's architecture could cleave very closely to that of the Series X. That way, Microsoft could keep their dual-price-point offering, but their 2026 consoles would only add one additional SKU into the mix. Moreover, by 2026 devs would have 6+ years of experience working with the Series X, so this might lessen the developmental headaches of porting to two consoles.

We are BARELY seeing not only what this generation can do but also what unreal engine 5 is capable of so I doubt 2025 is when we see an improvement in hardware

The PS5 having a much larger market share, is the reason why the PS5 is a much higher priority for developers. Third party games are not designed around the largely untapped abilities of the Series X, so the game would require much more of a rewrite for the Xbox than just porting the code which is already there. And as I've said elsewhere, it would appear that porting the PC code to the Xbox Series of consoles to properly tap its strength, is more work for developers than just porting to a different PC build, and it shouldn't be. The Xbox Series ports won't likely improve that much until Xbox can shrink the distance between their consoles and Sony's. Improve that and improve the XDK so that developers don't have to spend as much time optimizing the console port, and there'll be more of a difference. Otherwise we'll be seeing similar in the next generation.

As much as I like Ray tracing. I enjoyed what ue5 and the lumen tech does a lot better with a lot less demand. That matrix showcase demo was super impressive and I can’t wait to see what can be made from it.

I love both my Series X and S. Been the best couple of years in gaming IMO. I think the next cycle should have a Series S2. Its been great for people to low risk do MS echo system and even by 2026 I think their will be lots of people that need to be won over. MS has 2.5 years to really set themselves up to why people need or want to buy a Xbox Series X2. I am already saving up for that move. I have 3 years of Gamepass banked and I have no plans on going anywhere.

Since the chip manufacturing plants have come back to America,it will be much easier to get more consoles made this time,and faster.

Mid gen refresh isn’t necessary, just drop the requirements for making games run on the Xbox one. I feel like the full capacity for the Series X hasn’t been tapped into. Even if there was a mid-gen for Xbox. I wouldn’t be getting it. If there was a Full-Next gen Xbox in 2026, I would very likely get it.

Too much to fast isn't always good. Nostalgia will be almost eliminated and development might be shoddy on the games because we are going too fast which leaves less time to enjoy. Make a list of your favorite games and time periods and which do you remember being innovative for there time. Great video Mr colt.

Im ready lets gooo!!! X2 all the way!!!

Xbox should go all in and bring out the Series X 2 sooner than later but that's just my opinion.

I hope you're right about this. Tech is moving so fast and if console iterations moved with it, I never would have felt the need to move to PC. I wanted to stay on console but not if I'm forced to play at archaic frame rates. Give me a modular console that I can upgrade as I please whilst keeping the Xbox UI and plug & play simplicity.

Yet we still don't have games that look as real as Alan Wake 2

They should focus on getting the devs to optmize the game and use its full power instead of pushing brute force(hardware). Pc has this issue and it looks like console are going to be the same.

Resolution is great but I'd definitely prefer 120 or at least above 60 on a regular basis

We still not had anything this generation using the tech, how long to develop for a mid gen if it was released, it would make much better sense releasing a new generation in 2026 and that would keep it closer to PC tech as well. Just my thoughts.

If they bought the generation forward that’s a massive L in my opinion. Everything we were promised to then be told you are not getting that but hey just buy the next gen console to get what we told you you already could.

looks like I made the right choice and got a new PC instead of the consoles. I already got the performance of the next gen

I am a series S guy and i am happy because i don't want to get a 4k tv when my 1080 p tv has such beautiful picture quality. I would only be interested in a series S2 if they were to make one and only if I could use the SSD external, I was forced to buy at an outrageous price, in the new console. I probably wouldn't buy on day one ither.

I have a PS5 and XBox Series X. They both are decent in their own way. I don't won't a PS5 pro. I don't see the need. The only reason i see a need for the xbox upgrade is maybe for Starfeild. However i was watching a YT video and they claimed the XBox def had more headroom in terms of what it could do than any game has tested

If Xbox’s next Gen wants 2 consoles they need to be of equal power and the cheaper should just be discless and if they want even more of a separation have one with 2tb and the other 1tb and price them at 600/500 or 500/400 if they can

Eventually I think you’ll see a “Streaming Stick” like a fire stick. You Plug it into your tv and stream games like Netflix, no more boxes.

Good grief screw "8K"... It's so unrealistic at this point. Especially for a console. They need to worry about the frame rate, not the resolution. Hell I wish they would makes 1440p or even 1080p to get more frames. 8K is a waste of all that power I have no clue what Microsoft was thinking with the Series S. Yes, it's more affordable but they skimped out on the GPU & RAM too much. It should have had a 6 Teraflop GPU & at least 16GB of RAM. It's not like Microsoft doesn't have the money to take the loss. They should have just made both the Series X & S much more powerful & looked at the money lost like a marketing expense. If Microsoft had launched a 24 Teraflop Series X & a 12 Teraflop Series S, they would be annihilating Sony this generation. That alone would be more effective than a million marketing campaigns.

I wish the next xbox would be a PC/console hybrid, so that it can be booted into either windows or xbox mode. If they did that they would find their own niche that would help them get out of sony's shadow.

I’m moving to pc. Invested $700 in this xbox series x and I still don’t get 4k or 60 fps. What good is 12 teraflops of power if game devs can’t figure out how to use it all? Ps5 runs games smoother and I’ve been an xbox fanboy for over 18 years!!

Definitely think MS is just going to go straight to the Next gen system earlier than usual instead of releasing a refresh or updated series x.

this new console every 4 years is a terrible business model. unless they get the whole scalper under control.

Why the fk are they making another system when they don't have the games for the original series x
