Resolution, performance, better textures thanks to more RAM. Thats worth something for people who play multiplats on consoles.

Anywho, I think X1X is a success. I mean its an option for those who want higher visual fidelity in the console arena, its given Xbox the technical edge, its changed the narative on specs. I dont think its a huge game changer but its a boost for the Xbox.

I think X1X has potential to do well in the coming years when its like $250 (holiday 2020 maybe) and assuming it can handle 9th gen content well. It will inevitably have the price edge on PS5 with the same multiplat games. That could buy MS time to release a device technically superior the following year while still relying on the cheaper X1X.

None of that is true though because of parity.

It was the same before the upgrades and it will always be true.

No one can see a difference in multiplat games.

 You can't tell which is which without knowing the game is for a specific platform.

 Most mutiplats look average anyway like AC and Shadow of War.

Neither have great graphics and those are the games MS has deals with claiming they look better on the X. Uncharted 4 on standard PS4 look better than any game on the X.

Was it advertised as a 4K/60 fps machine with no compromises? I can't remember that promise.

It was advertised as

• the most powerful console so far (what it is... most multi-platform games look and/or perform better than on PS4 Pro)
• the best suited console for 4K TVs (which is also correct, every resolution above 1920x1080 looks better in 4K, not only native 4K)
• with native 4K support for some games (neither all games nor the majority of XBO games were promised for native 4K)

Allot of enhanced games don't have 100% parity.
The Xbox One X versions are often a step up over the Playstation 4 Pro.

The Playstation 4 was often a step up over the Xbox One, thus negating your parity claim even farther.

False.

False.

Agreed.
Consoles are to underpowered.

False.

Most people could not even tell during the original ps4 and xbox launch. It was all basically according to what digital foundry said. And the difference they show have to be paused and zoom to see. Most don't do that.

I wasn't counting in PSVR games since the x doesn't have any vr games and I was counting the announced games for both considering the x has only been out for a month. You have a source on that number?

None of that is true though because of parity. It was the same before the upgrades and it will always be true. People are fooling themselves because they are biased and had to justify paying $500 dollars. No one can see a difference in multiplat games. You can't tell which is which without knowing the game is for a specific platform. Most mutiplats look average anyway like AC and Shadow of War.

 Generally there arent huge differences but there often isnt parity either. X1X titles tend to have higher resolutions, while higher graphics settings and textures vary.

Uncharted 4 is a great looking game but Gears 4 is arguably more impressive at 4K and with sharper textures. The 60 fps option doesent hurt either. Forza 7 also has an edge on GT thanks to resolution and textures. Hence, even when PS4 has arguably better assets the X1X still gets an edge from polish in other ways.
