Games like returnal and ratcher certainly have their moments and have offered true next gen gaming. Miles morales is another one. The interface, speed in moving around, the instant loading, it's amazing what this new generation has to show. 

Switch and PS5 both have. Both had arguably the best first years in console history, both releasing games on my top 50 list as well as fantastic ports of previous gen titles and upgraded versions of old games. This isn't the place for a console war, but much of my disappointment in Xbox comes from the sheer contrast between Series X's first year and the first years of Switch and PS5. 

Seriously, PS5 has released so many games (exclusive and multiplat) that I haven't been able to keep up and I work from home...sooooo....

in CAD? Not terrible, especially if split three ways. 

Okay, but I don't think that is what he's talking about.   I think it's pretty universally agreed so far that there have been no amazing technical achievements that wow us and make us feel like we've really moved into a new generation.

The solid state drives definitely are a big improvement. But, beyond that, no games have done anything super special.   And I think that's fine. We're one year into the generation. But, it is a fact that there just hasn't been anything amazing yet this generation that couldn't have been done last.

Haptic feedback on the dual sense is a new gen feature that feels unlike anything from before, and has been implemented great on a few title. Also ratchet on ps5 is amazing.  Some levels that have so much on screen detail and thousands of calculations and objects on screen, with insane detail and sharpness. When playing the  last ratchet on ps4, you think how amazing it looks at times, and you imagaine what to expect from a next gen title, but you can;t really see it in your head. Then when you play it, if you go back and compare, you see huge differences, and the changes at times are that substantial, it's mind blowing.  It i a 12 yr gap roughly of gpu/cpu advancements. 

Looking forward to seeing your impressions!

Then you need to be more clear with your questions. I thought we were talking about games, not power. 

You mean gamepass xcloud on mobile? I tried that before and wasn't that great. The latency put me off and the resolution drop.

My internet is 150 mb, and 50 uploads. I have fast internet. Forza horizon 5 wasn't a good experience, I had half a second to a second delay.  halo infinite was fine untill I got to the outdoor area. Though the resolution was never sharp, or maybe the game is naturally like that. But once I stepped outside, game had muddy textures, wasn't a smooth experience so I gave up. Maybe it's a latency issue, not sure where the xcloud servers are located.

XBox is green and so is money. Something to think about long and hard.

Think about it, it could save your life!
