The wisdom of the 6Tf vs 4Tf

Sure demanding better version is something they shall do. But determine what is the specs is bad. As I said some games will benefit more of resolution, performance or effects. But demanding all 4k60fps on the platform will make the dev cuts in other places that may make the experience inferior than the base version.

I'm not saying to enforce 4k, 60fps. - But there is zero reason why the Xbox One X should ever have a games rendered resolution drop below 1440P.

There is however zero reason for there to be a performance/image quality parity with the base consoles, the Playstation 4 Pro and Xbox One X are a step above those.

You know I meant console exclusive. PC is not 8treated as direct competitor. You can even play PS4 exclusives on PC thanks to PS Now and ports.

Then they aren't Playstation 4 exclusives are they?

Im saying Switch will get Japanese support but Xbox gets some as well. Especially content that appeals to the west. Which might skip Switch. Hence, Switch doesent get notable multiplat content like Xbox.

The Xbox as a platform has never been a Japanese powerhouse and you know it.

MS has games coming and even Sony has reduced its number of studios.

I know Microsoft has games coming, pretty sure I stated prior that I was excited to see what 2018 brings? 2017 was a colossal failure on the games front for Xbox, no denying it.

Saying SNES classic has original games is like saying Xbox BC has original games. Boy, what a dumb comment.

Get back to me when Original Xbox Backwards Compatibility on the Xbox One has a meaningful list of games.
I have had more fun playing the SNES Classic than the Xbox One X, that's the truth, that is my opinion, don't like it? Stiff.

Again, youre making arguments that simply show youre out of touch.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I wholeheartedly disagree.

People are playing multiplat games on Xbox. Thats why it keeps getting games.

Except there are more people playing those same multiplat games on other platforms.
You need exclusives to draw gamers in, once you have drawn gamers in with exclusives, you sell them all the other crap like Multiplats, services, DLC and so on.
No one was ever going to buy a base Xbox One on release to play the latest Call of Duty when the Playstation 4 was offering a superior experience at a lower price, well. Unless you were blindly loyal to the Xbox brand anyway.

I would NEVER have bought an Original Xbox 15+ years ago if it wasn't for Halo, which was a timed exclusive on the Xbox and ported to PC later.
That single game made gamers, heck the entire industry take Microsoft seriously in the console space.
Halo 2 continued that trend... And Halo 3 essentially went Viral and put the Xbox 360 on the map.

It was exclusives that drew me into the Xbox platform... And it was exclusives that enticed me to buy every console release, buy a ton of accessories, buy Xbox Live Gold for the last decade, buy hundreds and hundreds of games.

And you know what? Unless Microsoft fixes its rubbish exclusive situation, the Xbox One X will be the last Xbox console I will ever own... And that is Microsoft's own fault, they aren't meeting my expectations, needs, wants or desires.

X1X dips to 1080p in games pushing for 60 fps. Sometimes the bottle neck is GPU.  Eventually I think we will see X1X games hitting 1080p at 30 fps because of great visuals. But those games will probably use dymamic resolutions for higher resolutions as well.

We can split hairs but you know what I meant by exclusive.

Hah, I didnt even imply Xbox was a Japanes powerhouse. But it has a decent userbase and can handle PS4 games so it gets Japanese support.

Xbox BC has a ton of critically acclaimed games and some have active online populations. But okay, I guess your opinion is all that matters.

If you dont think Xbox BC has meaningful games, youre objectively out of touch.

But there is a significant audience playing multiplat games on Xbox. Spin it anyway you want but thats why its supported. This may be X1's best year in sales, or maybe just another solid year, so that support will continue. MS has games coming as well, several in early 2018.
