@dskatter exactly. Xbox series S has 4 TFlops against Switch 2's 3 TFlops docked. Even Xbox One X being 6 TFlops beats Xbox Series S in image quality/resolution in quite a few multiplat games that actually attempt it.
Xbox series S caveats are less RAM, 10 GB against Switch 2's 12 GB and that it is separated in two banks, so fast 8 GB, slower 2GB. Those 8GB are more than double the speed of those on the Switch 2 though.
So it's very simple. The moment a game is floating point starved or needs bandwidth... Series S should win unless devs ***** up.
Xbox Series S CPU will also never be the bottleneck here.
Yeah yeah. By March they'll be canceling a few titles. Talking about games made by AI and doing some more layoffs while sending out PR about how Xbox Gamepass hit some record and how the future of xbox is bright but also saying the layoffs they did hurt them.
And a few months afterwards journalists will be writing 2028 is the big year for xbox to redeem itself.
In my opinion this "cat" already lost it's seven lives, they have a big purgatory for a lot of customers if they ever want them to come back, and it either takes it being 1. Cheaper than the competition 2. Better than the competition 3. More pro-consumer than the competition.
Easy. Every time he says he cares for anything but his paycheck. He also lied in regards to how many games would come to PS5, stating plenty/most games were to stay exclusive, and then they didn't. He also promised exclusives for 10 years now. He said he wasn't shopping for japanese studios when unsealed emails said otherwise. There are more contradictions than that on unsealed emails btw.
He also blatantly lied in regards to real advantages for all the acquisitions he did. You can argue that he was simply incompetent, but there's a line there. There's some naivety in regards to that being the solution to his problems, but there's also blatant lies in regards to FTC/regulation and advantages for the customer.
Last but not least if we consider peter molyneux a pathological liar because of his overpromises, then Phil Spencer is also a good contender.
Not interested. Phil Spencer is a pathological liar and we've had 2 generations now where instead of building the brand they destroyed it. I don't trust them to fix it, and I sure won't buy a microsoft branded pc which is also bound to be a walled gamepass garden. Plus they already said/implied it would be more expensive than PS6.
All the studios they bought and closed or tore to the ground as well as the gamepass proce hikes tell me all I need to know about it/them.

Coming from Digital Foundry... One more "impossible port" right?
That river has ran it's course, they know very little about the tech side of things.

All these are things they're horrible at.

If I was them I wouldn't even bother.
