And here it folks where MS leaves Xbone S owners behind in the dust with gimpy versions of games where they need to upgrade to get the better experience. Very common of MS when they left 360 owners with no games toward end of last generation..... |
How the hell is that any different from the Playstation 4 Pro?

That’s the true difference...the gap in CPU power between X1 and X1X is only 30%. The gap between X1X and X2 will be more like 500% or even more.

While that is true the value proposition has to be regarded. A PSPro for almost half the price (available for 320-340 already, soon going to be 300...X1X additionally needs a big external HDD for those huge games) still offers a pretty close experience. All recent Digital Foundry videos have proven that, in most cases, the differences aren’t major at normal viewing distances and without using a magnifying glass.

Fake information.
You don't need an external HDD for the games.
The HDD is no more/less limiting than the drives in the regular Xbox One.
There is also a new feature called "Intelligent Delivery" where not all of a game needs to be installed.
The Xbox One X is a massive step up over the Pro, adopting many of the enhancements only found on PC.
That's a fact.
I mean... You once believed that the improved load times and boost mode was enough to justify the Playstation 4 Pro over a regular Playstation 4 console, but that doesn't hold true if the Xbox One X offers more than that? (It's okay, we can all have a change of opinion at some point.)
And I quote:

Even just 1440p is a clearly noticeable improvement and worth the extra cost.
you also need to take into account that a Pro always comes with a 1TB drive so it needs to be compared to the 1TB slim's price.
Boost mode and faster loading times are even worth it even if one only has got a 1080p TV imho.

Oh,hi there...NSA impersonated.
The difference is obvious.
The Pro offered a moderate enhancement for 4K users at just 50 dollars more. (1TB PS4 was 349,- at release. 1TB Pro was 399,-)
It enhances games without making base unit users feel like they’re using the far inferior machine. All this without massively increasing the file sizes of its games.
The X1X though has such a huge GPU power gap it makes base X1 look terrible in comparison. I’d feel really bad if I had paid 500 for one just 4 years ago.
It’s also not 50 but 300 dollars more expensive than the base unit at launch.
Additionally it blows up game sizes to huge amounts, 100-150 GB in some cases, which not only leads to problems with HDD space, download times and data caps, but also longer loading times as reported for Shadow Of War and Wolfenstein 2. Those 4K textures simply take their toll.
This “intelligent delivery” feature you’re talking about is nothing more than a damage control story atm, that MS is looking into. Everybody who knows what a pain install times on X1 are, knows that’s gonna be a problem, even more so for people with slower internet connections.
If you really doubt next gen will offer at least a 500% boost in CPU performance, just compare a 4 year old Jaguar core to today’s Ryzen.
