Bout time, that thing never belonged as a part of this generation...

The fanboys capped for it and pointed to the CPU but the GPU is really what the console depends on most and S is decidedly last gen there.

Plus the memory is a disgrace.

Should be added to last gen sales numbers (Xbone) and deducted from this gen sales numbers.

Whatever executive thought the XSS was a good idea, needs to be fired

I cant blame them, the Series S was underpowerd even when it was initially released.

But Xbox desire to make The Game Pass and Series S more accessible to people worldwide is more appealing to them than making things easier for development.

It's not surprising that some devs are crying about the Series S... there's games running at sub 1080p on PS5 and Series X targeting 60fps :LOL:

Maybe they need to start optimizing their shit better.

I agree that Devs need to optimise much better, especially when you have 1080p games on new hardware that should run much better (just look at ratchet and Spiderman on the PS5).

However, no amount of optimisation will make the series s a good console, and one that can have "feature parity" with the series X and the PS5. It simply lacks the ram and the bandwidth to do anything better than last gen.

At this point it's no longer funny. Another one for the block list. I really did try because resistance on a forum is good. But this is just pathetic. back to colt's echo chamber with you.

Also, careful now. By asking for better optimization, you're directly criticizing Xbox studios as their game have issues with the Series S as well. Won't look good on your ambassador record. They have a zero tolerance policy on criticism. Wouldn't want you to lose out on that occasion free month of GP now, would we.
