Honestly the Xbox Series S is just brilliant. I criticized Sony’s approach of announcing a PS5 with and without disc — because shit or get off the pot — but this strikes me as the better way to do a differentiated console release.
And making the differentiator resolution, in this case 1440p, as opposed to CPU performance, is smart too. Plenty of gamers have invested in 1440p or 1080p monitors and prioritize frame rates over resolution. This makes sense.
Also, I’ll almost certainly also get a PS5 — I just think that this is a much more robust way of offering two different console options at launch.
Requisite opinions are mine and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. Yes, I work at Microsoft but not on Xbox (they tell me nothing!) and I’m not a participant in console wars (though if anything, I’m a Nintendo hoe so...)
