Will it work on my 1080P TV?

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Obviously

You should probably get a new TV as well, if your getting a Xbox Series X.

Cerny talked about their SSD solution nearly whole year ago, and his words were about what was available in the market place back then. I still think we see a good SSD solution on the PS5 but it may be comparable to what PCs can take by time of release |
At the time Mark Cerny announced his solution Samsung EVO 970Plus was already on the market, so it must be faster than that for he to not be lying. But at least we know that MS solution for compressing/decompressing could achieve up to 6.0 so that is faster than EVO 970Plus.
I know 2.4 is already super fast, but clear message is good.

We're still only guessing at the features and spec differential at this point in time. It's probably going to have a smaller SSD, potentially less RAM and perhaps even skip having a disk drive. Maybe even the CPU soloution will differ. We simply don't know. Seeing the higher spec'd X just adds a bit more weight in the rumour of it's existence. If you see it another way, that's fine. |
Yep. Only GPU wouldn't allow over 100 difference. And we still haven't heard about reduction on RAM (I don't think will happen since the jump from last gen in amount is small, perhaps they choose a slower one) and CPU (probably can have less cores or slower speed if they want parity on perfomance and allow for balance).
EricHiggin said: Intel calls their combined chips SOC's, and even though AMD calls their's APU's, they and MS are referring to them as SOC's? Common now. They might mean the same thing in the end, but AMD needs to be a little more aggressive about gaining some long term marketing narrative. Mind share leads to market share. |
Shifting games around wouldn't be to painful, it is USB3.2 and you can use a decent HDD so it shall not be that slow. Still the best part about the 1TB SSD is that you can just pick your SDD and go to a friend house and start playing there on the fly without needing to install or transfer.

For sure if your TV have HDMI (almost certainly it will right?) then you should have no issues, at most it will use supersample just like PS4Pro and X1X to have the best 1080p image possible.
BraLoD said: Propietary SSD and no HDD is actually very concerning. I hope Sony doesn't follow the same route, because having only like 8-13 games installed is pretty bad. Having a HDD to move to SSD what you are playing is much better than uninstalling. Based on Vita SD card prices I would be stuck with 1TB forever. Also only 16GB of ram is less than what I expected, and I still expect Sony to come with 20+. And still using those batteries on the controller... damn. Aside from that the system sounds pretty good actually. Pretty beefy. Having the ability to backup your XBO to XSX is great. |
Seems like the controller will use internal batteries.
You can use regular HDD from what is know, but will only play directly from it for last gen games. For Series X gen you need to copy the game from the HDD to the internal drive. I think it is a very acceptable tradein option for the ones who don't want to buy the SDD, and even the HDD isn't needed if you don't install/play several games at once.
Also the SDD will have the ability to pick it and go to a friend house and start playing on the fly.

That, and the fact it only comes with 16GB of RAM, which seems woefully inadequate to me going forward. It may be enough right now, but I'm sure in just 2 years time, the RAM will become a very limiting factor with textures needing to be more and more compressed, something that will get pretty obvious in 4K, ironically enough.

That is why they gone with a solution that will reduce the need of RAM on textures (the biggest load) for about 1/3 with the feedback.

A bigger question is..
can it play Crysis?

I don't understand the criticism of having the option of using Batteries in a controller.. if you don't want to than just buy the Charging kit. I brought my Charging kit on the XB1 back in 2013 and it still works (Through the Lithium Battery struggles to hold charge these days) but I got a good 7 years of use out of it which was well worth the extra cost. Internal batteries don't last forever and once they die, you either have to get them replaced which would cost a fortune or buy a new controller. Having a battery option means if the Charging battery dies, you can slot in AAs and you are good to go.
