Quote from: Xevross on Sep 08, 2020, 06:13 PMIt appears controlled because MS had all of this ready for next week anyway. They've just done their announcement earlier.

Controlled leaks aren't really a thing, and this certainly isn't one.
I just saw random people on reddit thinking:

This is the updated look of Series X (not realising it's a different system).
1440p upscaled looks better than native 4k, so this is the best system to buy for graphics (was confused about dlss)
This is just a digital version like the PS5 digital. Same hardware outside of that.


I don't think this is a good reveal. People are happy and excited but how much of that will translate to happy customers?

people that are that ignorant on technology will be perfectly happy with their series s console.  it will look great on the toaster they payed $500 for the nerd squad to install in their entertainment system.  having people think the series s is as good as series x is fantastic news for ms.  that is how they get probable ps5 casual buyers to move to xbox.

QuoteThe Series S is targeting 1440p gameplay at up to 120fps. It shares a handful of stats with the Series X, including raytracing, variable rate shading and refresh rate, and support for ultra-low latency. The Series S features 4K streaming media playback and 4K upscaling for gameplay, compared with native 4K gaming on the Series X.

The main downgrade on the tiny new console is the SSD. The Series S has just 512GB of storage, compared with 1TB for the Series X (and 825GB for the PlayStation 5). The Series X will have a custom port that allows for storage expansions and it's possible the Series S will have this functionality as well, though Microsoft has not confirmed that just yet.

ugh..
