I wanted to launch this "debate" about the Series S' lack of power following the Baldur Gate 3 gate (or the Baldur Gategate) which doesn't have an Xbox Series version yet, due to issue with Co-op, supposedly with the Series S. And mainly the Series X beign tied with the Series S in term of games.

I was watching the Digital Foundry video about Wo Long, and the comparisons aren't that great.

Basically, the Series S version runs at 900p both resolution and performance mode, with resolution mode running at 30fps, with cut-backs similar to last gen versions.

And regarding Hogwarts Legacy:

Basically 792p on performance mode, with regular dips, even on the high-40s and around 1080p for 28-30fps.

And as we get bigger and better games, with last gen being a soon thing from the past, won't the Series S be the biggest issue in the near future when it comes to games on Xbox ? We know PC games have to adapt to every possible configuration, but the situation is different here, and I wonder if we will get to the point where the Series S will no longer have to have the same features as the Series X in its games, or even not have a game the Series X might have.
