Xbox Series S|X used WiFi 5. That tops out at 3.5gbps. WiFi 6 tops out At 9.6gbps. However... WiFi 6’s main selling point isn’t its speed (which let’s be honest even WiFi 5 speeds barely anybody will reach for years). No, the main improvement... 1/4
comes from the ability to have more WiFi 6 devices in use at one time without a detriment to the overall network stability/performance. In fact, truth be told, a single WiFi 6 device on a WiFi 6 router (yes you need a new router too) won’t be much better than two on WiFi 5. 2/4
In other words, people are making a big issue out of nothing. Again. It’s like the USB-C issue. The S|X systems support USB 3.2, same as USB-C, just not physics connection on the console (the controller IS USB-C, for charging/wired play).

It costs 99p for a USB adapter. 3/4
But let’s all moan about a WiFi standard barely anybody even has a router for to use, and a USB connection that is easily fixable with a £1 adapter. It’s the end of the world, of course.

Keep getting those clicks, news sites... 4/4
Physics connection = physical connection. 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼
Additional: There is some confusion as to the final USB spec. I’ve asked for clarification and will post an update once I hear anything solid:

Hey, kid, listen:

While paying the RE 4 demo on my series x and ps5, I had the exact same crash and text (text on SX), in the same spot, doing the same thing (jumping out a window onto several Ganado). Wasn’t in the final.

(Cont)
The vram error is because, yes, it ran out of memory. Just like the series x. And the ps5. And my expensive pc.

Because when a game gets into into a certain state and it’s memory isn’t allocated corrected, it doesn’t matter how much you have… crash.

(Cont)
And that’s on every system. Thankfully I was able to see this exact same error on my series x, but also experience it on ps5 with the same action.

Memory isn’t infinite and it doesn’t take much to get your system into trouble where it can’t recover. At that point… crash. (Cont)

Ok, this isn't the kind of thing I would do, but I'm deleting the Konami post (and backing it up fully below). I would usually NEVER delete a post when "wrong", however in this case, its an exception, and let me explain why...
Over the last barely 24 hours, I've had nothing but abuse. I've had multiple death threats. I've had one person send me pictures of DEAD CHILDREN, telling me it would happen to my daughter for being wrong. I've had multiple hack attempts at my social media. Oh, it goes on.
I've had DM's and private messages here, and on my other sites, explaining how they know people in Telford who will "do me in" (lol). I've had websites insult me. Forums attack me whole sale. I've had people insult my wife. My child. My work. My books...

I may pin this as my main message. It really fills me with confidence to know the 6 books I wrote and drew with my kid mean this much to people, all because they don’t like the same “v i d e o g a m e s” I do.

The worlds an absolute shite place, and these morons are the cause. Image
It’s funny, in the last few days the death threats have come through because I posted I didn’t enjoy the new horizon on ps5, and now people are acting this way because they aren’t hearing what they want about PlayStation.

There’s a connection… I don’t know what…
Oh and for the record, mr thesis, I’ve stood up and given professional presentations on my book to children multiple times. I’ve sold a few thousand copies, too. But I didn’t do it for that, I did it for my kid.

You might want to learn what that actually means, you sad git.

Ok, serious topic of discussion for the day. PS have had a bit of a naff week so far, IMO of course. But its the end of the financial year, and there is talk of something else to come. What do you think it is?

All talk points toward a possible acquisition.
Now, do I think so? Yeah, it's likely. But the names thrown around... I just don't know. FROM, Capcom, Konami, Square... All names I can see WHY people are saying, but... Wouldn't those be a total waste of money? They are pretty much in bed with Sony anyway?
I do see more smaller purchases coming their way, and that may be what this last one is. Larger ones are possible in one way or another, but I just don't know if I fully see it (and in the case of the ones above, would be really bad for EVERYBODY anyway).

What are your thoughts?

How are we all doing? I’ve decided to keep on with the tech posts but in a slightly different way. So, using updated and final info on what the new XSX and XSS are like, I wanted to talk about the big question right now: Is the Series S going to hold back next gen gaming? 1/41
SPOILER: No. No it’s not, and anybody with even a little experience will tell you as such. I’ll go into more detail below as to why that is, but the most important aspect is that this is NOT a last gen console, I can’t stress that enough. 2/41
If we were comparing this to an xbox One S/xbox One X, there would be issues of course. While you CAN make a product work on both new and old generation systems, it would require a lot more work and also limits what you can do from a gameplay standpoint a bit more. 3/41

Ok, how are we all this weekend? I’m sorry for the delay on this, it’s been a crazy week for me. I won’t be able to answer everything, as it looks some things are being held back still. But, if you have a few minutes… Let’s take a look at those Hot Chip slides, shall we? 1/34
First of all, a notice: I see a lot of people use my threads and talks for fanboy drivel. If you don’t like what you read, challenge me, talk with me. Don’t instantly move into idiot fanboy mode as you will just get blocked and forgotten. Act your age kids, and discuss. 2/34
Now, for this thread, I’ll only be covering bits and pieces that may be missed or not understood. Some things I’ll leave out, but feel free to ask. First off, let’s put to bed some things: SFS (Extension of SF), VRS and ML, all in. As well as D3D Mesh shading. 3/34
