A would say there is fluff is the tone...

Sony makes their hdmis.
The PS4 was ahead of its time per the hdmi where as Microsoft had to release a whole other console to do what the PS4 was offering.
And by the results this far... Sony is not having the issue like the series x is per performance and resolutions... the hdmi only delivers the info. Cod is doing just fine with 120fps

You are saying Microsoft spent money to have marketing rights and got a rushed job due to cross gen... of which is Microsoft’s offerings for the first year of its new console and its biggest selling point?
Are you serious?

We are ten years into Microsoft not making new AAA games... 🤷🏻‍♀️ If walks like a duck and sounds like a duck ...

It’s the same engine. That is why.
This “new” that they preached was only modifications

Although you are correct...
Cod is not the only game gamers are having said issue. Destiny 2 is seeing crashing as well on xsx.

It is not a “big deal” and will be fixed... but it is a source of information so that these issues get resolved.
Silence is consent if you know what I mean.

Everyone on n4g always has “no issue”... but it does not change the fact.
The complaints come from sources on forums.

At that point, it comes to better sampling no?
If it is not native 4K regardless... the image quality is based on all the upscaling techniques.
Not that it matters.. sweating over minute details that really would not be noticed...
but Sony has been working on techniques in hardware since they never really chased resolution peaks.. just image quality

1. You have to buy the console to sell the console.
Sony got their money.
2. Things always sell out,
Xbox sold out and is not even in demand via evidence of this gen.
The ps2 took 6 months to restock. Did not hurt it at all.
Demand means wait.
They calculated their last launch and surpassed its first 3 months in sales. So they were ready.
Just because you were not lucky doesn’t mean it should be a “concern”.
They built m...

Microsoft does not believe in spending money on an actual team to innovate...
They just want to soak up said people to take control of game engines etc to try to lock in the market.
They will “spend” money... just not how an innovative business would.

As long as they have a large enough market and subscriptions, they will be content.

Their output is more on cheap development and games that push for players playing together. This creates ...

“Rearrange”
That is very dependent on set-ups..

But it is shockingly huge.
The box makes you step back due to size and weight.

It is the largest console to date and you will have to adjust. Ie taking a PS4 out of your entertainment center and just putting the ps5 there will not work if things were tight via room or other electronics.

Bottle necks and speed.

Teraflops is a measurement of power.
A basic architecture with no innovation and or drive to make games would put a company like Microsoft far behind the curve.
They basically are trying to strong arm how computing hardware should interact with THEIR software.

Sony, amd, nvidia etc have all been working together for the last 4 years focusing on better use of hardware and game engine innovations.

And to think Microsoft paid millions via gaming sites to make said comparisons “something” while trying to gain a foothold in the gaming market.

You can roll your eyes.. but the seeds were planted due to marketing tactics via Microsoft... so you kind of need to point your fingers at them.

Not making any new good game for close to a decease and only flexing “power” for third party games gets this type of “fan-war” going in the first place.

Well... that trillion dollars is from selling cheap items, monopolies, gathering and selling consumer information, and subscriptions... just mention a few.
Nice to see what you defend.

Game pass is paying for it.
You have access to games.. but where you play and for how long dictates it success.

And instead of loot boxes you now have season passes and micro transactions.

I can not fathom someone saying paying for the online service, paying for the game rental service, and season passes with micro transactions is any better than $70

Microsoft offered what should have been indie or free to play games at AAA pri...

When you have history and consoles started shipping last week... is it too soon?

This is, of course, if you do not have a blind eye to just how bad the 360 was at launch,

The issue is who we are speaking of.
This co sole was not only rushed.. it was thrown together per design.

The first reviews are usually overly picky about a subject...
Saying that...
the game sounds like a dud that might grow into something per a season or dlc approach.

Sounds very one dimensional for a looter/slasher.
Just like anthem.

I hope reviewers keep this type of reviewing consistent with looter type games.
This buy now and cross your fingers for a better end game deserve low marks.

Older game engines “should” perform better on the series x. Nothing that would scream advantage...

But as new engines and techniques are pushed... then the ps5 architecture will come into play.
But again... at no level of “ohhh this one is so much better”. Not going to happen.

After all, the anchor that is the series s will give no advantage to either console with third party games. Of which I feel was the point of said console

Frame rate over resolution,
If we want to be “wow’ed” this gen....
4K should be of no concern.

I would even gladly take 1080p at 120fps. Even if the game was native 4K and 60fps.
The more images moving faster means a clearer image and far better sense of control.
I game using 1080p and 200fps at max settings. This makes me say wow as far as graphics go more than “4K”.

Do not get me wrong... IF 4K was moving at 200fps.....

Because there are people who live by marketing... and then there are your high iq consumers.
Why do you think Microsoft “sponsor” streamers?

Microsoft’s motto from day 1 has been “do not sell what the consumers want, make consumers buy what you are selling”.

Then look at all the fluff from gaming media partners... of which Microsoft has put a lot of money into.”

Because it controls output.
Low demand, lower budgets.
I mean, sea of thieves and crackdown were sold at full AAA prices and then we all saw what halo was going to be.

Numbers are very important.
