Microsoft may need to revise their estimates downward then. I'm pretty sure those are all the same person :-p
Not sure what the downvotes are for? I didn't say the X would out-perform the Pro, I said there is a tonne of headroom if that analysis is to be believed. The X might not reach any of it for all I know.
Mmm yes i think we're pretty much in agreement.
However, if you consider that deliberately misleading Joe puts them both on the wrong side in terms of ethics then you could argue that Microsoft's extreme bending of the truth is more intelligent, assuming they get away with it from a legal standpoint.
Oh you don't want to play "who started it?". Prepare yourself for tales of lens of truth and blades of grass. This stuff has been going on for ages!
If the pixel counting exercise is at all accurate then there is actually a tonne of headroom for the X to be a big improvement on the Pro.

Crossed wires. By saying people that switch for hardware alone are short sighted i assumed you meant that something would soon invalidate that reason, and they were not smart enough to see it.
Now i see it's more of a "that reason is already invalid because it is different to what I think" kinda logic.
I'm going to buy an Xbox one X because it is more powerful than my PS4 Pro. I wouldn't consider myself short sighted. I have the fore...
As for Microsoft's "True 4k", i agree it is totally misleading as well. My point was that they all want to mislead Joe.
Yeah that is a very literal, scientific interpretation of the word. Of course language is more nuanced than that. Dynamic is also commonly used to describe someone or something positive, energetic, and exciting. The opposite of something static, as static is unresponsive and boring.
Take a look at some Sony Pro marketing, and substitute the word "dynamic" for the word "changeable". You think that's what Sony want to tell average Joe? "Changeable...
So it's a bit like the "dynamic 1080p" that was claimed for The Witcher 3 on Xbox. Seems "Never" would be more appropriate than "dynamic" in these cases lol.
That lower end (960x2160) is equivalent to 1080p
I don't get. The article is a couple of short paragraphs comparing the size and weight against the Pro, and a table of the kind of basic specs you'd expect to find on any etailer product listing. There is nothing controversial or subjective in there.
I didn't even know it had released. Seems a fairly low key launch this year, relative to the usual COD-everywhere-you-look marketing blitz.
I didn't know it was common place to have the option not to download the assets, so at least I've learnt something from this one. Or i would have, if i had any confidence that Gamingbolt aren't full of shit.
Right, and what will our friend average joe think about "dynamic 4k*"?
Short sighted? Exactly what aspect of the hardware is likely to change or catch people unawares, oh wise and sagely oracle?
Hopefully it copies games between drives at a good nick. I wouldn't mind moving my most active game(s) onto an SSD, and parking them on a higher capacity mechanical drive if I'm not playing them much or if they aren't negatively impacted by the slower drive.
Or "enthusiast". Exactly who they always said the X was intended for.
That's ok Imo, so long as new games support HDR. Retrospectively adding HDR to games is usually akin to using one of the artificial conversions that most HDR TVs offer.
It is a tonne of work to retrospectively convert a game into HDR properly if it wasn't even mastered in 10bit colour.
It'll look even better in some ways. The PC version doesn't support HDR.
Which is a bit lame really, the coalition are at fault for that. Still, I'm looking forward to trying Gear 4 on the One X to put Atmos through it's paces :)

Good luck finding any online community that doesn't have it's share of dickheads.
I'd say 2017 was the first year that it categorically outgunned the Xbox for games. It may have had longer lists before, but this was the year Xbox really had no answers at all.
2018 looks shit hot so far, almost like they're catering to my own personal tastes. I want pretty much everything they're producing.
Microsoft maintain a decent list already
https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/...
The HDR flag is fairly binary, a game has it or doesn't. The 4k flag should be the same, but going by the list and what we already know, I'm not sure what exact criteria MS are using.
In some regards it is more interesting to note which games don't have the 4k mark.
