[Angel of BOOM!]

Xbox One X and Xbox One S: All-Digital Edition are both discontinued, but there will be some stores that still have them in stock. Discontinuing them doesn't make previously existing inventory disappear into thin air.

So, worst case scenario, a clueless parent walks into a store, with only "new Xbox" in mind, and their choices are:
Xbox One S - 500 GB/1 TB/2 TB (4K Output and HDR Supported)- $299/$349/$399
Xbox Series S - 500 GB (4K Output and HDR Supported) - $299
Xbox Series X - 1 TB (8K Output and HDR Supported) - $499
Xbox One S: All-Digital Edition - 1 TB (4K Output and HDR Supported) - $249
Xbox One X - 1 TB (4K Output and HDR Supported) - $399

They're going stare at the selection looking like:

Or, alternatively, they'll go into the shop and ask for the console where little Billy can play "That new Spiderman game" and be given two options; with or without a diskdrive.

Looks like that poor Xbox was standing next to someone with violent diarrhea

It looks like it would be sticky

 

[FunkMiller]

Not according to Sony execs. But these are semantics, it doesn't really matter that much.

I‘m going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that for whatever reason you don’t have access to Google, and are just misinformed, rather than deliberately trolling... but just to clear things up for you, here’s an article I found in five seconds (one of several) about Miles Morales being a full (If somewhat shorter) game:

Maybe take a few seconds to look something up before posting?

 

[SNPlayen]

Bloodborne, Little Big Planet, Uncharted, Driveclub, GT Sport, Infamous Second Son, Killzone, God of War, The Last of Us, GOT, Shadow of Collosus, Yakuza, Spiderman, Ratchet and Clank, Detroit Become Human, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last Guardian... yeah no variety there...

Don’t forget Knack

 

[Crazychipmunx]

Hmmmmm....

Now, now... let’s not bring video games into this discussion about video games consoles. It‘s besides the point, and doesn’t help at all.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Hmmmmm....

Don't forget they are all 3rd person games with same mechanics but In reality they have different experience

[BattleScar]

Hahaha. When Xbox fan called a ex-PS5 engineer, current developer for popular game on X1 and other platforms - Roblox, a Pony, because Matt called out Colt, you know that he isn't joking at all. LOL

It'd be fantastic if we could stop posting these people and giving them unnecessary attention.

Even if it's just to laugh at them, just posting them here, gives them attention they do not deserve.

Technically illiterate choleraic skidmarks such as these deserve to wallow in irrelevance.

 

[jimbojim]

Part of why Xbox can get away woth that is because the Xbox OS, UI/home screen/menus are only 1080p.

Digital Foundry confirmed even the Series X will not be able to render the home screen UI or menus at 4K. 1080p only for OS.

The PS4 Pro does 4K for all of its UI and menus. Hence why it needs some of the memory to render.
Safe to assume PS5 will be the same.

I know it passed few days. Do you have a link for DF statement? It baffles me that XSX won't render UI at 4k

They have exposure and attention on twitter, not here.

Tbh. I’d rather see these idiots trying to go up against Devs and Engineers, than the constant twitter ‘insiders’ posted constantly.

Robert Sarrano or whatever his name is gets posted every single time he tweets, and he’s never right, also that Jack Skell. Those boring tweet guesses shouldn’t be posted here at all tbh.

Any random chucklefuck can make a "Twitter for ___" source with an account that has access to the site's developer API.

In one way or another, it is just for laughing, but agree with insider stuff

 

[DaGwaphics]

How many of them available at the store?

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

I'm surprised that your calling Microsoft stupid.



Most of the time your pretty positive with whatever they do.

I guess you haven't read ANY of my posts regarding their xbone console and strategy?

Not those posts. Just all the ones criticizing PS5 games.

I dont think parents are stupid, contrary to the microsoft hate group theories.
Their kids though, those that are pushing these narratives... well, there is more possibility that these are stupid :]

you should embrace the truth though, thats progress

I think the ”official” explanation is that 4K dashboard can be quite taxing on hardware

Don't underestimate how tech illiterate the average person is mate I heard a lot of horror stories about end consumers being dumb as bricks.

 

[CrysisFreak]

Yeah but even PS4 Pro renders the UI at native 4K. I would absolutely expect Seriex to do the same.
As I briefly mentioned before the UI of a base PS4 is not so sexy on a 4K TV at a rational viewing distance imho.

Everything is taxing when youre MS

What truth though? They the PS5 can't do Ray Tracing or that the load times are long? I'm not going to listen to Dealer type FUD when I have more reliable sources.

I already had Digital Foundry and interviews for that.

He's just a mythomaniac with an obsession with PlayStation.

Has been posting fake leaks and wrong predictions for months. And bad photoshops of him receiving games months before release, and stolen pictures of "his" playstation consoles collection.

Just ignore him, don't contribute to enabling mental illness.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I don't blame Kratos. But then you have to deal with her son.

He did deal with him. Kratos playing that childless mother adoption card

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

maybe its going to go like this

[MasterCornholio]

I would definitely treat my kids better. Plus depending on their age maybe a Nintendo console would be more suitable for them.

 

[thelastword]

Also Flight Simulator 2020 is not even on Xbox and has no official release date while Gears Tactics is PC timed exclusive WTF, if Microsoft doesn't bother to release their games on Xbox, why would 3rd parties care?

Because let's think of it, most of the people propping Flight Sim are only doing it because of the Meta and that it came from MS, but have no interest in playing the game.....FS 2020 is not a traditional XBOX game like Gears, heavily multiplayer type mayhem with the dudebroness that they love, Even MS realizes that Flight Sim, which already has very limited appeal and a smaller demographic on PC, won't do all that well on PC....

So it's a question of. Should I waste money developing this to XBOX, cause the port will require an investment or should I focus on giving The Initiative or another studio that cash to see if they can hit something out of the park....Something that caters to a much wider demographic.......MS needs a game like that badly, the last one they had was Halo.....

 

[bitbydeath]

Aren’t a lot of parents gamers these days? Maybe 20-30 years ago this was the case but those child gamers grew up to be adult gamers.

 

[Delpij]

So, any reliable Edinburgh leaks available?

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

I would definitely treat my kids better.

well, you can always buy them the X if you want the best for your kids ;Ρ

 

[MasterCornholio]

Not really if I wanted the best I would give them a PC. But if they're young it would probably be the Switch. That's something that they can easily take everywhere and play anywhere.

Especially the Switch light since it doesn't have those removable Joy Cons.

As for me I game mainly on PC so an XSX doesn't really make sense to me but I can't live without those high quality PlayStation exclusives.

 

[lepermessiah]

Don't forget they are all 3rd person games with same mechanics but In reality they have different experience

Stupidity is on finest, gents

Yeah Killzone had the same mechanics as Tearaway Unfolded, Until Dawn, Shadow of Collosus and hmmmm Little Big Planet, GT Sport and Detroit. Bloodborne is demonstrably different to GOT, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted and God of War in terms of mechanics... But let's ignore all nuance because making a fallacy of defective induction and opining about stupidity is easier.

 

[iamvin22]

I wonder if they’re putting more resources into this to make it a launch title instead of Spider-Man.

Must be because you can clearly tell that's a new build in that tweet with updated assets

 

[Aceofspades]

You are in for a rude awakening come Nov.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

nice try, but....

 

[MasterCornholio]

Not really plus if they are old enough they probably need a PC anyways for School. Might as well knock out two birds with one stone. You can't run Microsoft word on an Xbox.

Besides many consider PC a platform that you can play games on. I mean I do it in a daily basis so I don't see why teenagers can't do the same. I always had a computer when when I was little the same will happen to my kids. Plus it's beneficial if they learn how to use a PC early on.

 

[FunkMiller]

So, you’re happy to accept that the people who play the games want a Ps5. Interesting.

People actually lie about console collecting to a point they steal other people’s pictures? Is this real life?

yeah, right. get them a 3080 pc for ...school work. that will play out nice for studying I think
and its you moving goalposts since we were talking about , you know, consoles

So, you’re happy to accept that the people who play the games want a Ps5. Interesting.

what are you even talking about? I have many ps4s, a ps3 and even a ps2 (although that's packed somewhere in a closet).
and probably I will have my hands on a ps5 quicker than you.
that has nothing to do with series s being a great placement for the market.

 

[zaitsu]

I think you need to tone it down a bit.

I think you don't know what i need.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Sorry, I said extension, apparently it's Expansion. It's also half the length of the original game, so not sure why you guys are so quickly fired up when I say it's an expansion, when a Sony executive also called it this.

It's indeed like uncharted lost legacy, it's standalone but not as long as the original.

You know U:LL lasts about the same as UC1, don't you? I wouldn't be worried about time if the analogy applies.

All of this sound very believable.
