Bro, i think the series x with 4k visual is no big deal, it is intangible, it doesn't give you the chance to touch and feel the materials in the gaming world. More over it doesn't give you the chance to feel alive in the gaming world, hence its just a work of art. I've played most games on my series s and they run perfectly as the series x and ok with that.
This. I'm more of a framerate guy over resolution. I'll bet you could fool most people as to whether they're viewing 1080p or 4K on a 4K TV. But if animations are choppy, everything looks dated, and destroys immersion.
I don't know what you are on but of course higher performance at 4K on the series X is FAR better gaming experience. And I dont know what games you are playing but many games on series S, crash often but even when they do run, its not at 4K and the framerate is not at 60 fps. You can defend your Series S all you want but you are lying to yourself and you are ignoring actual physical facts. The series S runs at lower frame rates and under 4K. Bottom line. But you ignored the key part of what I said. Game developers HATE the Series S. They have to spend extra time and money to make a second optimization for the Series S when normally they would only have to make one optimization for Series X at a higher performance level. And that is a pain in the ass for developers. Also some just lie and release it anyway. Then you get all the complaints that are out there about games crashing and/or running like garbage on the Series S compared to how the same games run on Series X. These aren't lies. They are facts. Look. If you like all your games at 30 fps and 1080p or 1440p then fine. Enjoy your series S and the crashes. But paying the extra 100-150 dollars to not have to deal with those issues and get at least 60 fps with 4k, sign me up. It was well worth it. And since then, it makes even more sense because more and more developers are having issues releasing games on Series S. Bottom line is that extra money for the Series X, with all its extra power and capability, and even the disc drive in it, is well worth not having to deal with the problems the Series S has always had and will always have. As I said before, the Series S was just a way to get people who hated the large price jump from last generation to buy the console as a cheaper option, without telling buyers how much worse the console actually is. When PS5 and Series X came out, they were far more expensive than the PS4 and xbox one at release. Microsoft knew this and after getting their asses kicked in the previous generation, wanted gain an upper hand to start this generation. It was a smart business move. Lets be honest. But for them, not for the consumer. People have to understand the way business' think and how their goals are formulated from that thinking. But it was obvious. They got there butts kicked last generation, so when each company was releasing their new generation console, Microsoft was like "lets release 2 options" to try to even the sales if our Series X doesnt compete with PS5. Like I said, it was a smart business move and thats all it was. But obviously to release a cheaper console and still make money on it, you need to cut costs and put cheaper or older parts into it. Which brings me back to my final original point. You get what you pay for. Cheaper these days almost always means its more crappy than the more expensive alternative and I just explained why.
@@arob9981 I guess you had time to write that book since most 12 year olds are having snow days this week, but you completely missed anything I said. The first part was, my S is used for games that aren't challenging the hardware. The X is for that. The second statement was a general statement on gaming preferences.

What is the difference? In terms of game play and graphics, nothing worth mentioning! I have both systems and can’t tell any real difference as far as graphics is concerned. Halo Infinite and MSFS both look the same. The X might load a little faster than the S but that’s about it. The only other real difference is the X has an optical drive whereas the S is all digital. The S now has a 1TB option. You can get the S and save your money if you don’t need the optical drive. I got the X mainly for the optical drive since I have a lot of movies on disc plus some games.
Although some games have already disabled ray tracing if you're playing on a Series S, the Series X and Series S share the same fundamental graphics features, such as support for variable refresh rate, variable rate shading, and ray-traced visuals.
@@PeteNice29 Depends on what you're playing. If it's an old game then nothing, but as games become more demanding you end up with more problems. A game like Black Myth: Wukong couldn't even come to Series X because the S couldn't even run it, Microsoft policy requires the game to function on both. Baldur's Gate 3 was also delayed because of issues with the S.
Haha to answer the question honestly, the S sucks and the X doesn't lol. Thats the bottom line. Of course people didn't realize that when they first started selling both. Many nightmares for developers making newer games series S friendly and some games even sacrificed what it could have been on series X because it had to run properly on series S. Stupid. One console's weaknesses occasionally sacrificing how those same games perform (underperform) on series X. The series S was just a mirage for buyers in the beginning because it was cheaper but the bottom line is the Series S is much weaker and runs many games much worse. Constant problems, especially with new games on series S, no thanks. Im glad I have the series X for multiple reasons
I use an S for a secondary living room system, and it barely gets any work. The difference with any game I care about is too great between the two. The X resides in my primary media room.

One has 4 time the power and a disk drive, the end.
I agree with you!
So how does that translate to the gameplay experience?

What?
That's easy: video card
That's for sure!

@@PeteNice29 Well yes, that's right.
Please, does 4k visual give you the chance to touch and feel gaming graphics? Does it make you feel alive in the gaming world?
