While the Xbox SX is the more powerful system and, historically I prefer Xbox to PlayStation (PS3 and PS4 would gain features way too late and they often worked kinda weird (having you sync trophies, external HDD support, etc). BUT I'm gonna come to Sony's defense. Some people are bragging about how certain bc games load faster on Xbox than on Playstation. I'm gonna say that, in many cases, the XBO version was a lower quality game. A 900p game is gonna load faster than a 1080p game. I own an Xbox One S and an Xbox One X and I see it all the time. Those 4K enhanced games have enhanced load times!

If you're suggesting Xbox One X has longer load times, that's generally not the case from my experience.

Games with superior assets though can load slightly longer. Something 1st party games tend to offer.

That's what I was saying. The enhanced games have longer loading times than the non-enhanced. They tend to take up more HDD space, too. "Regular" games actually load a lot faster on Xbox One X than they do on the S--it's even considered a feature.

I guess the term "enhanced" is where the confusion is. Microsoft considers HDR, 4K, faster frame rates, and faster load times as enhancements. And rightfully so. I was only talking about the games like Gears 4 that get the 4K treatment.
