Xbox One X absolutely could not run modern games like Starfield. You're ignoring the massive difference in CPU and I/O performance, that matters WAY more for why Series S is ahead of the Xbox One X. Starfield pushes CPU's hard which is why it's locked to 30fps on Xbox Series and it doesn't run properly on a hard drive with the game occasionally freezing for 1-2 seconds when portions of the map get loaded. You're clearly ignorant when it comes to this stuff so should do some more research before making more posts on this sort of topic.

Firstly, my main point stands in that post, I notice you don't want to debate any part of that. 

On Starfield, it runs on a ROG Ally (a portable hybrid machine). I think it probably could run on an XBox One X, but there were no games really that were made just for the XBox One X, we'll never really know I don't think what its full potential was. 

The main reason it may not work on XBox One X is not because the compute strength of the GPU (which is decent) but the shit Jaguar CPU cores that it inherited from the PS4/XB1. And the Switch 2 will likely blow those crap Jaguar cores out of the water too (ARM A78). 

Cause there was nothing to say about it, it's a fact that the Switch 2 will benefit from architecture improvements while the part I replied to was completely wrong. And again, it absolutely would not run on a One X, it's not a may. The ROG Ally has a much better CPU and an SSD while the One X has a terrible CPU and slow hard drive and those things matter massively. A somewhat capable GPU combined with a very low end CPU and slow hard drive is not fit to run modern games designed around modern hardware like Starfield.

You're right that the Switch will destroy the Xbox One and PS4 in terms of CPU performance but again I think you need to do more research on this subject before getting so involved in arguments over it.
