See, that's the point I was making in my last post.....With that said, it's lower in power than an X

There's no way the new Zen CPU is weaker than the ancient Jaguar in the X1X, for GPU 6 vs. 4 TFLOPS is a pointless comparison between apples (GCN) and oranges (RDNA 2), and the SSD in the Series S certainly blows away the shitty mechanical drive in the X (which should be left completely empty except for the OS).
Hmm, wonder who that's marketed to? Ahem....That's good, because the juxtoposition of the Series S leak/reveal and the below is pretty ugly.

For me, hooking my PC to my main TV is absolutely not an option, and I value the larger screen, HDR, and actual surround sound more than the pros of my PC in most genres, so I'll be preordering a Series X for sure. Series S doesn't interest me at all; even if it looks to be an upgrade over X1X I still wouldn't bother for anything less than the Series X. I GameFly almost everything I play on the Xbox that isn't on Game Pass so the lack of a drive alone would be a total deal-breaker.True and good point. Either way, doesn't matter because their 1st party games are mostly mediocre. If they had actual 1st party games worth something, I suppose I still wouldn't upgrade because I can play on my PC. Knowing full well I may not be the target market. But the last Disc Less system positioned this way bombed off a cliff.

Nah, I can't see any reason to bother yet. Games will likely stick with plain HDR10 and color gamut is unchanged from 2.0 to 2.1, and the vast majority of stuff I play won't even go above 4K30 (or, preferably, 1440-1800p60 checkerboard) so 8K is a ridiculous notion for another decade or so. Only thing I can think of that might get me to buy a new TV is Freesync support... I'm already tempted to buy a nice 32" 1440p panel with 400+ nits for HDR10 and Freesync that is compatible with Xbox (I could be mistaken but I don't think every Freesync monitor is guaranteed to work with MS' implementation, kind of like how Dolby Vision is half-assed on the X1X) for use when I'm not at home but have one of my consoles with me.Are you going to be upgrading your TV to HDMI 2.1 capable?
Yakuza looks good too.So one good game, seems rough.
Got that shit free with my 3900x cpu, think it looks goodThat's the worst timing ever for Assassin's Creed Valhalla which looks pretty dang good too
