| ZyroXZ2 said: No no, that's suspend, same as the Switch. That does NOT persist through loss of power or a power cycle/restart, it only persists through suspend the same way the Switch does. Both cannot be fully powered off when games are suspended, thus drawing the battery slowly. As of right now, Xbox quick resume is the only one that persists past literally pulling the power plug. That's what makes it impressive. Case in point: you can put a game in quick resume, power off, unplug your Series X|S, take it to your friends house, plug it in, and resume exactly where you left it. |
I know the technical difference, but the thing I love about the Xbox Series quick resume is mainly the ability to switch between a handful of games within seconds, not the possibility to turn it completely off.
And why would you power down a Switch or Steam Deck completely? For energy saving?
They already use less than 5 Watts per day / 2 kW per year in suspend mode... so less than an € per year even with the high European enery costs.
An Xbox Series S uses 160 - 170 Watts per day / 60 kW per year in suspend mode (plus the power drain of the TV + the power drain of the Xbox controller. That's a whole different league.
Case in point: you can put a game in quick resume on Switch or Steam Deck, take it to your friends house, and resume exactly where you left it. 
And with the Steam Deck you can have the same convenience to Switch between a handful games in seconds.
