From what is being seen by DF and such though, that new machine isn't a 4k/60fps device either, there must be a point when people hold off a purchase beyond the promise of what it can do by the people aiming to sell it.

Buy a X1 for 1080p/60 get 720/900p/30fps

Buy an X1X for 4k... get a solid 1080p machine.

The thing is.... the machine is great for what it does, but it doesn't have the power to do what it was advertised as having, with "no compromises" it was just never built as such.

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)

Having read over it I guess there was no promise of frame rate... just 4k, but I can't imagine anyone was expecting the 4fps mess that you get in pubg as "uncompromised" 4k on a premium console, I most certainly think that gamers would think anything below 60fps is compromised unless the games are designed around a lower frame rate where it doesn't impact gameplay.

But aye... it can get to 4k, but with a ton of compromises.
