***"If that were the case, then maybe it's time that the marketing belief that "X" makes things cooler should just die?"***
Sorry rain, maybe I missed something, If Xbox has decided to use the designation "X" to identify the high end SKU's in the lineup in much the same way as Nvidia uses "Super" or "TI" or Sony uses the designation "Pro" what is the reason you are saying the...

***"There's really no way that MS can guarantee the most powerful system without knowing what Sony will bring"***
You're a smart guy, do you not think it a little naive to think that with less than a year to go until release and most of the hardware now locked in to meet production deadlines both companies will not have a very good idea what the other is doing hardware wise?

***"fayed"?***
To be fair to the author of the article as well as CSauce the person that submitted the story, "Fayed" is actually a reference to Faye Navine a major character in the storyline of Anthem and not a misspelling of the word "Fade" as I admittedly also thought.
@Septic
***"The name just allows so much room for confusion. Xbox One X...Xbox Series X"***
What if the name of the rumoured Lockhart model is simply "Xbox" and the X Series moniker is a way to clearly identify the enthusiast level model from each generation of Xbox consoles?
This would make the naming of the the Series X and Xbox One X consistent and identifiable as the high end "X" models. Series S would ...

***"Sekiro is a good game. I'm playing it now. Wow is it tough"***
Sekiro can be a pretty cheeky in places. Unlike other games in the Soulsbourne series where you can summon help for the more difficult bosses, in Sekiro you're all on your lonesome. You really have to learn the movement sets for each of the enemies in the game in order to progress - because of this it really is a case of the old cliche "Git Gud" lol.
I'm really looking forward to Ghost of Tsushima, even more so after watching this amazing trailer.
Sekiro satisfied my desire for ultra violent Samurai / Ninja bloodletting in 2019, It looks like GoT will be scratching that same itch in 2020.
Next year is looking fantastic for gamers everywhere.
I find the wording and grammar used by Xbox on the Series X website incredibly interesting with respect to the ongoing next gen power narrative between PlayStation and Xbox.
FASTEST .
MOST POWERFUL .
There seems to be particlular emphasis placed on the use of the Period in making a declarative statement. Of course the descriptor could be referencing the Series X's hierarchal position within the Xbox ecosystem but I think if this was the case ...

***"i'm interested in disco elysium as well. I saw some reviews for it and everyone seems to like it"***
It's an absolutely amazing game, Incredibly original and creative. Personally it's the best game I've played all year and in my top three this generation.
I'm really pleased for ZA / UM, they thoroughly deserved every award they received for the game.
What a superb achievement for a fantastic little device. Nintendo is really killing it!

***"IGN US are lying, deceiving scum and should be shunned out of existence for their anti-democractic behavior"***
It's great that you're passionate Ultra, but look at what you've written. This is a videogame website we're talking about not a third world dictatorship.
It's supposed to be a fun pastime, don't get so het up buddy :)
Bushido Blade is a fantastic game that I think was hugely underrated at the time of release, I'd love to see a remake with updated visuals and gameplay. The insta kill mechanics were unique at the time and made for very tense duels.

***"Why bring a next gen console out that is less capable than 1X with graphics makes no sense"***
Lockhart will most likely be more powerful than X.
The Jaguar based CPU of this generations consoles (PS4 and Xbox) will be replaced by Ryzen architecture which is far more capable and will allow for better ai and increased FPS amongst other benefits.
This alone will lead to an improvement in ga...
@Ultra
***"You are reaching..."***
Lol,
How is it reaching to point out that developing software that scales to X86 architecture in exactly the same way as the PC has been for years does not mean that high end machines are compromised because of a requirement to support machines with lesser specs?
How is it reaching to point out that it is easily possible for developers to produce games for multiple configur...

***He didn’t contradict anything. He said it was equivalent to the same graphical power as PS4 Pro which it is"***
Yes, that's called a comparison.
Comparison;
The quality of being similar or equivalent, likenable.
As I said and in your own words - he compared the system to the Pro, then immediately contradicted himself by saying it was not comparable because of differences in architec...
@Nitro
Exactly this.
The question should be why is the game cheaper on PC and why do the "console" versions cost us more?
PS4, Xbox and Stadia pricing are identical.

How do you think this is different than developing a game for PC?

@Master
No need to post the Reddit numbers buddy, it was me that linked them in the submission credit URL so I've already had a good look at them.
What the Reddit post also says is that whilst every day since release there has been 250 suspicious negative ratings for DS, on the flipside each day the game has received 200 questionable positive user ratings, the issue people seem to be having is that whilst the negative ratings have all been removed, t...

Xbox One "X" = Fastest, most powerful console model Xbox produces this gen.
Xbox Series "X" = Fastest most powerful console model Xbox produces next gen.
