    Yeah, they’re mad at developers, but they should be mad that Microsoft insists on hamstringing Series X so series S can pretend to be current gen.

    If they were equal, they’d cost the same. But they obviously don’t, so it makes no sense Microsoft insists they can handle the same stuff.

      No one in the linked article is mad at developers? They are mad at Microsoft, that is what the article is about.

      I like the idea of the series s in principle; a budget console option is a thing that should exist. But placing the onus on developers to ensure anything they want to release to the x is feature complete and comparable performance on the s… is more than a little dumb.

          Nope, they’re very hush hush on that. It was only two months ago that they first gave official sales numbers at all, and it was the combined total.

          They also revealed the official sales numbers for the Xbox One for the first time since 2015, and holy shit did the disaster of a launch ever fuck it over. Roughly 1/3 the sales of the PS4.
