I love how you have to drop back to ad hominem and insults to soothe the pain you feel because Series S is just fine. It plays all the games the big boy consoles play. That's all that matters.
Its a next gen console not a cross gen only console if games with true next gen visuals are at that super low IQ already then things are only gonna get worse.
Pro machines will never get utilized either way. All you would end up with is mostly Higher fidelity RT. I dont see them changing the landscape.
The fun part is that all consoles are just the bare minimum in power, but they decide to just go after the Series S, which GPU is just half as powerful as PS5 GPU. All consoles are budget machines, no exception, and none of them reached 4K consistently enough not even at halved frame rates (30).
Current consoles have mid-low range GPU PC equivalents though, ranging from 6600 to 6700xt (when the game is less optimized for PC at least, I've counted one around this level of requirement and still unreleased, gotta confirm first).
Where's the lie tho?
This isnt an audiovisual or mobile phone enthusiast forum.
Go to avforums or avs and post about how you are proud of a lower end setup and how anything more isn't necessary in one of the most popular sub-forums. Let us know how it goes.
If you think gamers are snobs you've not seen anything yet.
which pc... most pc gamers 90 percent of them have pc's with or less than ps5 series x specs... only 10 percent have monster pcs that can beat current consoles... the problem isnt consoles its the incomppetent 3rd party devs who not only keep making mediocre games with mediocre engines but are also stuck on crossgen development....PC gamers reading this:
PC gamers has been held back generations because of consoles.
Thought that was the case. If Baldur's gate doesn't release then it's gonna be even worse as the Gen progresses.
I don't know — most of the games to date have been cross platform.
And what situation does that leave the series s in when the pro version come out? If you are saying the base version could be where the series s is now?
And Jimmy cracked corn, and I don't care!

Its already heading towards being worse then what people thought it would be. What do you think adding another 2 pro models will do it?
That's why creating another sku develop for adds further strain. The effort it took for the matrix demo to run on the s was called gargantuan by the insider article. They had to bring in extra help.
What? XSS' GPU is about one third as powerful as both XSX and PS5's GPU.
A third of the XSX GPU (12 TF), barely a little less than half the PS5 GPU (10.28 TF)
I know, but it's a unoptimized and buggy mess yet it can be played on similar hardware than Series S... Actually if it was using some current gen features, it should be running great on any system apart from PS5 (SFS and DirectStorage are on PC, for starters)
And? Weren't you talking about whole GPU power? That is just the floating point per sec metric.
I'll give it to ya, I initially thought PS5 GPU was 9 TF, yet it's perfectly scalable down without major concerns beyond resolution and effects, specially when cross gen finally ends.
They're same architecture from the same generation, the differences won't be as big as, say, compared to any Nvidia or Polaris GPU.
I mean where already heading there slowly.
That would be too overkill for developers, one of the reasons why I think Sony releasing a "PS5 Pro" would be awful for MS is that they'd be obligated to release a more powerful Xbox, which could add yet another SKU for Xbox development. I've always thought they released X and S together because they were confident refreshes wouldn't come anyway
Only if the developer decided it is worth releasing on Xbox.
It's all the opposite of that, dev kits are usually larger and have sometimes more memory than final version. You really find Series S BIG?
