Nice. Would be awesome to see old legacy games running at higher res (like 1440p or 4k) and framerates. Should they launch a Series S, I'd be tempted to buy one for my older library and newer games.

A video showed Gears Ultimate apparently running at 4K on BC. That would simply be 1080p at 2x scale.

If they applied that to all games, even the 720p games would suddenly become 1440p. Nothing is confirmed yet, but that showed it could be done.

1080P > 4k/2160P is a 4x scale.

I appreciate those aspects of the Series X, and for those picking one up I'm happy for them. While I foresee Xbox Series X selling more than the Xbox One, these are not big enough aspects to have Xbox beat PlayStation. The lifetime hardware units battle each generation is just about never won by who has the best backwards compatibility or most powerful hardware. And it certainly isn't both of them in conjunction.
Now I could see myself one day maybe getting a Series X when it's far cheaper so I can have access to four generations of Xbox (though mainly Xbox One and Xbox Series X). But for now, I'm far more interested in Nintendo and PlayStation.

Again, another pointless argument. MS isn't claiming they will win the generation with BC. With you logic, nothing should be discussed unless it will win the generation, its a stupid argument.

They are also in the process of creating many titles via their newly acquired studios.

To coin a phrase, MS is essentially firing on all cylinders compared to complaints of the previous gen. So why are people pretending BC is the only focus?

It's a value-added incentive to purchase Microsoft's next-gen hardware, it's not the only selling point.

I'll be buying one.
