ok. i thought i read somewhere the usable space on a 1 tb ssd was around 960 GB. 920 gb is even worse. this means the digital only xbox series s will only have 350 gb of ssd space for games.The expansion card has 920 GB of space, so it's 'only' 108 GB for OS, I think.
Yeah, that's what it seems like. You're getting the benefit of the SSD read, but it's still bottlenecked by the CPU having to do the decompression. Until a game is built for next-gen hardware, you won't see the real benefits yet.

this is going to be even worse for ps5 owners because there is only 760 gb of ssd space. if the ps5 is roughly around 100 gb, we are looking at only 650 gb of usable space.
it will be funny when ps4 BC solution will work more often (but with less enhancements)...Tom Warren saying loads of XB1 games still not ready yet, he can't boot Witcher or Forza 4
Those are games coded to the SSD.
2 Bethesda timed exclusives.Is sony even trying anymore? Yakuza next timed exclusive xbox, no show at tgs, now xbox hand son previews. Fire Jim Ryan already.
I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to predict this. For realsies, even.I swear, if these journos get their early XSX's, only to show off MORE BC titles...
Lmfao , it's more than the SSD , of course , they're coded for SSD , the p5 architecture is so fast , it needs it .. it's shipping and loading assets at amazing pace, that's why you'll see amazing games , the memory will feed like live... Remember the early nineties , using cd ROM tech , and some stunning games come about.
Probably MS just being really cautious. But can you imagine the headlines if this was the PS5.... "Only 300 titles currently available via backwards compatibility".it will be funny when ps4 BC solution will work more often (but with less enhancements)...
the bc messaging can backfire so hard for multiple reasons....
DmC - No ray tracing
Medium (looks like shit) - 30 FPS
Halo - No ray tracing/fake 4k
Series X - development issues
Nothing running on the true hardware

What a Disaster
did I say you did?I never said it was just the SSD. Coded to the SSD would mean using all the features of the SSD like decompression blocks.
These new loading times benchmarks of the XSX are disappointing me, what a failure by Microsoft!
I know they don't take advantage of the SSD and its architecture in full, they're just using the games though BC, I know all that, but so far, seeing how PS5 is handling load times, it just seems like it is a next-gen leap over Xbox Series X:
- Demon Souls with its level warping stuff.
- Ratchet & Clank with its dimensions thing.
- Spider Man Miles Morales & the Remastered one said to have no loading times.
- Kena taking less than 2 seconds to cold boot on PS5.
It's looking like PS5 will DESTROY Xbox Series X when it comes to SSD speeds and that soon will translate to better animation, bigger worlds due to that faster throughput.
2 Bethesda timed exclusives.
That's what makes it funny. PS5 has 2 Bethesda timed exclusives.I take it you didnt see last mondays news?

21 seconds cold boot...? Isn't current gen faster?
Edit: I am wrong, it's apparently 25 seconds on Pro.
XBOX SERIES X LOAD TIMES
Game Xbox Series X Xbox One X CoD: Warzone 16 seconds 21 seconds Red Dead Redemption 2 52 seconds 1 min, 35 seconds The Outer Worlds 6 seconds 27 seconds Evil Within 2 33 seconds 43 seconds Sea of Thieves 20 seconds 1 min, 21 seconds Warframe 25 seconds 1 min, 31 seconds AC: Odyssey 30 seconds 1 min, 7 seconds No Man's Sky 1 min, 27 seconds 2 mins, 13 seconds Destiny 2 43 seconds 1 min, 52 seconds
Because Yakuza timed exclusive is such a big get for Xbox Series X, right?Its like saying you feel lucky because you got to kiss someone before they got married.
Wait...
Its 38s or 52s for RedDead?
Someone is lying... But who?
You're in for a rough time, if you think an SSD will magically make your games load 20 times faster (or whichever number you think is impressive).
They were limited to testing BC and load times.
watch it again and wait for the countdown and beep. thats when he turns it on.Huh? That was like 10secs
Funny enough I have noticed on my travels shops in poorer areas don't seem to stock PSN topups, just Xbox one'sThe rich people aren't xbox gamers. It's the pennyless kids that are xbox gamers
Something fishy is going on. Someone boot Red Dead Redemption 2 on One X and time it.Wait...
Its 38s or 52s for RedDead?

A beautiful lady walks up to you in a bar for a chat, do you:
A) Enjoy her company
B) Pull out a tape measure and check that she meets an arbitrary measurement that you perceive to be important

It is a drastic decrease compared with Xbox One cold boot.21 seconds cold boot...? Isn't current gen faster?

Sony’s PlayStation 4 Pro: System Performance & HDD vs. SSD Testing
We've been taking an in-depth look at Sony's PS4 Pro over the course of the past week, and now we wrap things up with a technical and performance look. Is the Pro that much faster than the non-Pro outside of gaming? What happens when the hard drive is replaced with an SSD? These questions and...techgage.com
Really exciting seeing the Series X UI and boot up, however I am withsircaw when it comes to load times. they're definitely impressive but I was expecting much better results, ranging from 5-15 seconds rather than 30-60 seconds. But then again I guess it could be down to optimisation, Witcher 3 should be getting a next-gen patch on launch for the next-gen consoles, curious to see the results.
Wait...
Its 38s or 52s for RedDead?
