Forums - Gaming - Xbox One S performance boost revealed

The iFixIt teardown suggested Microsoft saved $7 by moving the power brick inside the case. Given iFixIt estimated the SoC's cost at $99, saving $7 on the power system is actually very significant! They will get savings in the SoC and the RAM almost automatically over time, but costs for things like the power system tend to be fixed so any systemic savings there will be potentially more significant.

And there are some DF guys that are X1 fierce defenders.

No, there are not. DF are like a mirror; PS4 defenders think they're pro-Xbox, Xbox defenders think they're pro-Sony, Nintendo detractors think they're Nintendo fanboys, etc. They simply reflect the bias of the observer.

Why don't you put yourself as a Nintendo defender then?

And there were several defensive pieces from DF... and read again, I didn't say DF is pro-X1, I said there are some people there that are. But spin as you wish.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

So this must of been the secret sauce MS was talking about!

"The combined hardware and manufacturing cost of the new Xbox One S game console from Microsoft, the new analysis says, amounts to $324. That’s just $24 more than the most recent Xbox One teardown analysis"

 

It costs them 24$ more to make the Xbox One slim, than the older Xbox One though.

That said its a much better looking machine than the older models.

Just go for the reveal of X1 and the downplay for the power difference... or even this article cherry picking.

You talk as if it's so clear and obvious, even that there are multiple people guilty of it. Yet when asked for proof you give generic non answers, lol. It's fine, you're just wrong apparently.



ps4 still better, how dumb are xbox owners ? :D
