Any advantage of Series X on a 1080p TV?

When the service will be available on the same family of products and it is technically capable then yes they are just removing that from the baseline to make the more expensive look more valuable. And that is from the consumer friendly company right?

Everything can be anti consumer if you want to look at it that way when it comes to options.

What if XBSS was in the exact same form factor as XBSX? Could it not likely have it's performance boosted somewhat? How much more would that really cost MS and couldn't they easily eat that cost?

If I remember correctly, I believe way back, when I suggested a $299 ish, 1080p next gen console, that I said they should make it 1080p only, period. No 4k at all, and for this reason. As soon as they allowed some form of 4k, the question would come up about why not all 4k options?

Thing is, somebody would have questioned why no 4k upscaling anyway, so. I mean how could it not upscale to 4k right? Well where does it stop is the question?

There would be no real benefit in making the casing of Series S the same of Series X it would just be empty space, why would it boost performance? The lower GPU is due to the selection of chip not casing.

The TV will upscale to 4k anyway, but sure considering even X1S had an upscaler and a 4k disc there really is no reason for MS to not have upscaler on Series S (and well it was confirmed to support 1440p60fps rendering).

And nope it isn`t everything that should be called anti-consumer. It is just when it is pretty clear that something was possible, and is made by them and is just not allowed because of their own decisions. There is no real defense for a console that is at least equal in power to X1X to not be allowed to run X1X version of the game but go for X1S version.
