Could you precise what problems you are referring to?
Not sure it is a valid point.
Someone who want a PS5 or SX will not go to a Switch in case of financial pressure.
Why lost 200 bucks on something you don’t want, instead of waiting a little bit more to get the right budget ?

So you really believe what you say, that devs only knows about Serie S from a couple of months ago and are rushing game conversion on it???
Come on man, be real here. Even if the console have been revealed lately, it must be part of the Xbox dev kit since the beginning.
You don’t have any clue that ray tracing and all other features on Serie X will be ported on serie S.
It is not because hardware is capable that it guarantees it will be usable on par with SX only by lowering resolution and/or framerate.
Devs can decide to skip using RT on serie S to favor other technical aspects.
No one here have any clue on how scale down to Serie S will be done, only guess.
It is misleading to ...

RDNA2 will not miraculously make 4TF computational power behaved like 12TF.
There is no miraculous secret sauce, stop to be delusional.
All the casual gamers not spending their life on N4G, that candidly believe in MS PR on store sellers that need to sell their serie S stocks.
You start to see the issue then.
You blame the port this time, but time will help you to see Serie S is the real issue behind that.
GPU power is not about resolution only, any PC player knows advanced graphical features can tank framerate without touching the resolution.
If I must concede on thing to MS, it is that they have achieved to completely blur next gen definition in a lot of people mind via brute force PR.
As a 40yo gamer, it is sad to see so much common sense lost on cheap corporate tricks within a couple of months.
A testimony of the era we live on I’m afraid.
Yes we are, because your opinion is only that, your opinion.
Sounds like common sense for me also, except if some games will be serie X exclusives only.
But this would bring a whole other level of issues.
MS strategy with Serie S is really on the edge, curious to see how it will evolve.
Sounds more like accessibility washing feature than a real breakthrough.
Their is many more to do in the front of controller design and options to help disabled people.
Is this article for real?
Who hasn’t plugged a cable with no visibility, just by feeling the port shape? Sounds like much more easy.
Ok, that’s a great great addition I guess, but hardly a game changer for accessibility.
Impressive. Such clever design, the stand itself is a breakthrough.
I am always a fan of PlayStation motherboards design, it is so clean and elegant.
Next gen consoles are really a whole level above current gen in term of conception, congrats to Sony and MS for that. Engineers that worked and these pieces of hardware must be very proud.
Thank you Phil obvious.

Very funny comment, learn to read.
Problem is not delay between games itself, it is that a lot of games released by Bethesda recently are bad, period.
Your FF7 remark is the proof you are trying too hard to bend reality to make your point: sure FF7 remake was long to come, but in between they was FFXV plus all the FF remake.
So it was far from nothing release but Square on FF like Bethesda is doing with TOS, and ge...
You are right, but look at it in current time:
- Doom is still a strong IP with quality game
- Elder Scroll: nothing new in 9 years, nothing tangible announced, latest affiliated game is crap
- Fallout is a shadow of itself since new Vegas, with Fallout 76 a disgrace
I am pretty sure Zenimax business numbers are not very good for a couple of years, despite famous IP names In their catalog they have not delivered at the level of Capcom or...
I found all the articles about this subject a little bit over the top.
First, to be precise, MS has bought Zenimax, which own Bethesda. That’s a little detail, but it may help to see the big picture clearer.
Second, this is above all a move to expand game pass catalog, and for people adhering to this business model it is a good news to now have access to Bethesda catalog.
And finally, for PS5, time will tell if futur titles developed...
I hope that don’t means Bethesda is going the Rare on Lionhead way....
Temperature in game are lower than ps4 pro for example, but we don’t really know what is the GPU load required to make Gears 5 run.
Standby temps seems weird, in modern pc setups standby temperature of GPU and CPU dies is hardly over 45 degrees, and much lower for air exhaust
Air exhaust at 50°C on this SX in standby seems to indicate that something is going on in standby mode, curious to know what it is.
