Not gonna lie, this sets a bad precedent about the presumed pairing between X & S now.  Because MS made an implicit promise that the only sacrifice made with Series S would be graphical fidelity back in 2020.  Chickens coming home to roost by skimping on RAM like they did.

I don't think it is or will be an issue. As long the parity is there for the main stuff.
Split screen is really niche, an they should actually make decision like that if it prevents a game to show up on Series S. 

I mean, think about it, it is that or no game at all :) This is good for the Series S owners at the end.

Important part is that this should be very rare exceptions and only for niche features.

And yes, I agree, if anything, memory should have been on part with the X. But the Series S is still a little beast for this price :D

I keep wondering why people continue to believe that MS made some statement about feature parity between Series S and Series X.  There are no official or even unofficial statement from MS on feature parity, they only stated that games that come out on the Series X will also come out on the Series S.  We have not had feature parity between S and Series X since RT has become used more within this generation.

Even with BG3, we never actually heard MS say split screen co-op was required because its supported on the Series X.  It was Larian that stated the feature was important and its obvious that they never actually reached out to MS if it only took a quick coversation with Phil for him to say its not required.
