The problem to me is the demand for feature parity and availability on both Microsoft specs. Same issue they forced on developers and consumers with the Xbox 360 with no HDD.
It does legitimately force an entire generation to design for the lowest common denominator and everyone pays for that opportunity cost.
If Microsoft just allowed companies the freedom to skip the Series S, or reduce more settings/features, then it wouldn’t be a problem.
But of course if Microsoft allowed that then consumers would be upset they can’t play every game and it would reduce the value proposition.
And from a consumer perspective, I hate that. So yeah, I dont want more Series S type consoles either.
Especially cause enough games for years continue to be cross platform so if money is an issue just stick to the cheaper last gen consoles and wait for the price drops
What was the feature parity Microslop was asking for?
If it’s having the same game modes it doesn’t schock me. Of course if it’s having the same graphical fidelity on lower hardware, it ain’t the same.
