With all that GPU power notice how there isn't an Xbox One X game that looks like GOW, Uncharted, Horizon etc? Both the Pro and X are just resolution updates, with X targeting native and Pro checkerboard/1440p, they're tied to their lowest common denominator (PS4/X1) and if X1X tried to operate as a stand alone next gen platform it would need to give up the resolution upgrade entirely and its CPU would leave it obsolete.

The console only appeared because the PS4 (Pro) was sold so good, that was the true reason and phil spencer knows it -.- edit. Microsoft should be more concerned with japanese games and big exclusives-jrpgs, rather than republishing new hardware again - I think. For me personally, the xbox is currently zero interesting (due to 3-4 reasons) - new hardware will not change that. |
The X1 is simply a more accomplished version of the PS4 Pro (actually hitting native 4k on a decent basis), both systems are simply there to bring the current generation of games into 4k. Look at it no different from a New 3DS, PS3 slim or DS XL. This was obvious from the time the Pro hit and we saw how developers were using its extra GPU power. Mircosoft need a next gen platform just same way they couldn't keep selling the Xbox 360 for 15years... Regardless of what games you want 2021 is latest they could afford to release a next gen platform or they'd be left in the dust by Playstation 5.
