X1(X) is a mid-gen console, unlike previous generations. They can easily lower frame rate and graphics to run on it.

The X1X would greatly hold back game development, if they did this. Sales numbers of X1X and Pro are way too low to be respected further into the new gen.

Exactly. I don't HATE Xbox, I'm just very disappointed with them since about 2012 or so. I mean, I have an Xbox 360 with more games than any console before it (close to 60, my prior record was 44 on PS2, 36 on PS1) and I have an Xbox One. However, I rag on Microsoft a lot because, and get this, they have been doing terribly this gen and on the tail end of last gen. 

I bought a 360 because it was dominating the charts and I wanted to play with friends. then support dried up for the system but the first year of the One looked enticing! So, despite them dropping the ball on the end of last gen, I had faith in their ability to impress me this gen; sounded like they learned their lesson! Well, I got an Xbox One within a year of launch and....I think I've put 50 hours into it total. I haven't personally played it in fur years (Seriously, they haven't released a single game I've been excited for since Gears of War 4....and I haven't even opened my copy of Gears 4 because I've been too busy playing PS4 and Switch games). 

The point is that it's not about brand loyalty or fanboyism, it's that Microsoft really hasn't given me a reason to play their console. Honestly, I feel scorned because I not only bought myself a console back in 2014 but also got one for a friend with the hopes we'd play games together and have a gay old time. In 4 years I've bought only 9 games (and had 5 given to me by my roommate when he sold his Xbox and gamestop was giving him 2-6 dollars per game). I had more games on my Switch within its first year than I have in five years with the Xbox One. 

So yes, I am critical of Microsoft...because they're doing a piss-poor job and I invested in them. I gave them my faith and they shit on me by continuing the dearth of quality game releases over the past few years. Over the past two years they've released FOUR exclusives that got over a 75 on metacritic - Halo Wars, Forza Horizon 4, Forza Motorsport 7, and Cuphead. (State of Decay and Sea of Thieves both got poor reviews upon release.) AND to make things worse, guess where I bought cuphead? Steam. I bought it on Steam. So while Microsoft has been focusing on selling the Xbox One X as 'the most powerful console ever', they already lost my faith by not putting out quality games that I can only get on that system. I bought the console when it was relatively new with the hopes I'd get something decent and they failed to deliver; slightly better graphics on games I can get on a console I've come to love and use daily is not enough to overcome the loss of faith. 

So yeah, my original point still stands: The majority of gamers are pissing on Microsoft because Microsoft is dropping all the balls. This shows both in sales and in critical reception, and presentations like this one that just passed are only making things worse by having them double down on games that nobody gives a damn about or just aren't good as well as a feature (Gamepass) that is admittedly good but clearly a desperate attempt at grasping at anything they can offer. 

Oh, and as for acquiring studios, they lost my faith in that regard when they MURDERED Rare. Until they fix that there's literally nothing they can do in regards to acquiring new studios that I'll care about; I'll always see them as murderers of otherwise talented studios. 

Lower framerate from 30 fps (Xbox Two + PS5) to 20 fps in demanding next-gen games? The bottleneck (CPU) from the Xbox One is still in the Xbox One X

Are you suggesting that the CPU is only there for framerate reasons?

@any mod just lock the thread already.

Devolved into typical console warz.

One of the main reasons for sure. Graphics already look great on xbox one x. There is going to be about a 3 year hardware difference between xbox one x and next generation of consoles. Not as big of a gap like previous generations.

What I got from this was that MS basicly decided to drop the console early like they did with the 360 and focus on next gen. As far as we know, the only game releasing for 2019, the anual forza as always and crackdown 3? And crack down 3 was delayed like 2 years. And please remind me the releases of last year.

I think they are trying to pull a wii u to switch move, but I highly doubt that will work for a traditional console and even with the recently acquired studios they still dont have the IP strength to pull it off.

It looks decent now although some say the PS3 movie scenes still have the edge in clarity
