So this series S would be the minimum that will hold down all games for seriesX and ps5 and pc basically.
Half of the ram, and one third fo GPU. A refresh of the current xbox one basically?
I hope the ps5 is the baseline, at least exclusives will look better.

interesting, especially since it's weaker than the soon-to-be-previous-gen xbox one x (4 TFLOPS vs 6 TFLOPS)

Lockhart will open up the vast market of people with 1080p TV's - 4K gaming TV's are still too expensive unless you're willing to compromise on features. eg LG promised a 'full' HDMI2.1 upgrade for their last two OLED generations but now say 'almost full' HDMI2.1 spec - I bought 65" B9 after they enabled g-sync support and promised full 2.1 support 😡
Microsoft also have the xCloud, if Lockhart can output 4k maybe it can offload some compute to the cloud - or worst case just stream 4K games like Geforce Cloud.

This is why i love MS approach to unifying their consoles, W10 and games, so the system and games can be scaled up or down to meet the requirements of the hardware of the user, as they have done on the PC since time begain, so someone with a GTX750TI can play the games at their avalible hardware settings, and someone with a GTX2070 can play them to their hardware settings, and that for me works great, and does already, as i jump from playing FH4/Gears 5 on the XBX in 4k HDR, to then my play on my PC which only has a 1080p monitor when the TV is in use, and no matter if you have a PC or console, you can get access to the games you want to play on the hardware you want, that is a win for gamers right there. 🙂
I am now so accustomed to firing up a game on the PC that i have been playing on the XBX that the featurte is normal for me now, i can't do without it now, once see it cannot be unseen. lol

why not just offer the current oneX as budget option? if they commit to support this thing for 8+ years... not sure if that would be a good thing, but being positive I guess the seriesX by not being the baseline target could more easily achieve 60-120fps and instant resume on a bunch of games designed with the seriesS in mind, or it could be the other way around and the seriesS is just borderline playable at 30fps everything

Current gen forced devs to use more than three threads. Next gen will force them to think about good scalability.

I see what MS did and while smart, very deceitful, why? Well, they brag about specs and performance and most users don't know the difference between the systems. Meaning they will buy the series S based on the idea that its the Series X performance. I know this because so many think they have an Xbox one x but have a one s. I know so many who don't know the difference between PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro. Heck, lots of people I talk to, think a computer is good based on the hard drive size.

This is crap. They are gonna call something with the performance of a RX480 the “next gen”. Very interested to se the prices. Bet Microsoft will price this at $299 and say something deceptive like, “Next gen Xbox Series starting at $299.”
