Xbox Series X: What You Can Expect From the Next Generation of Gaming (12TF, RDNA2 & Zen 2, Hardware Raytracing, Variable Rate Shading) OFFICIAL SPECS

No it, isnt.
You buy a single copy of the game and you can install it on both old/new systems. Basically there is no Xbox One or Series X version, there is just the game. You buy a single copy and it installs the appropriate version on the system you choose to install it on.
Is it just me or is there nothing there that we didn't already know? This is far from official specs.
Why would it not play games?
Why not a 20tb hard drive? Or 50?
Excuse me, but you're either of bad faith or really dumb...
The feature enables the game to scale according to the hardware you're purchasing it for...

Just going to drop this here. I think they are lying/misleading about the Teraflop number. 12 TF is more than twice the power of the X1X.
I'm still confused how MS can call like 41 titles on OG as being compatible with that gen. It's literally like 4% of the games are playable. You yourself even say 'all Xbox titles', when even the 360 titles (being way more) are still not all those titles.
I do agree they can say it for the 360, but for OG I think it's crazy to say BC to that console for such a small percent. Sony could let 1 PS1, PS2, PS3 game work from disc and then call 'complete BC'. Am I missing something with this BC system?
EDIT: I looked up the analysis post.
Xbox OG - 41 games (3.92%)
Xbox 360 - 575 games (27.34%)
Hahahahah, what? No it means you get the updated/more powerful version for Series X for free and not a repurchase like this gen featured. No "Cyberpunk Definitive Edition" for xbox series x. If you own the game you OWN the game for Xbox, no matter if it's one or series.
I'm making a big assumption that they will continue with the push for full BC, and that there will be some aspect of this system that they will discuss at E3.
Count me as optimistic, but you're right.
Yes but in a good way. They specify it's RDNA2 which we can deduce the efficiencies from there. 12TF is twice the power of 6TF, and they tell us the architecture too, which is more efficient than old GCN so of course it actually will perform more than 2x, but it is still twice he flops power. Phil did the same with the One X spec reveal and undersold it in order to be technically correct.
I expect disappointment in some respect though. Like maybe the only RDNA2 cards available around console launch will be the big ones that are at least as expensive as the whole console for a modest performance improvement.
No way..499$ and they are still probably losing 100-150$.
Bloomberg quoted Sony having issues with shortage of components and BOM without Marketing etc is coming to 450$. So either way, we may be looking at 499$ consoles or even higher, maybe 549$ to ease the pressure of going over 499$.
It's not lying, it's marketing. They pushed 6 tflops with one x and 12 is twice that number. us nerds know it's far more than twice as strong but that shit gets confusing for the average consumer.
Just to prepare you, each suspended app will require a lot of storage space. Almost entire content of RAM, HDD swap file, and processes inside CPU and GPU will have to be dumped to the one large file on the SSD. Potentially up to 20GB per one app hibernation.
12TF RDNA? People were still arguing that it was GCN or something.
RDNA 2 to boot? We definitely didn't know that and it's huge.
Smart Delivery sounds like you buy a game on one platform and choose to play it wherever you like?
...So.. if Fifa is discounted for the Xbox One.. can you buy that version and score a next gen Series X version?

Don't get me wrong I would love it if AMD just came in swinging the Big D at Nvidia but history is not in our favor in that regard.
Have they actually stated this? I really want to believe that to be the case, but AFAIK, they only stated they would bring existing BC games to XSX, not add more.
While I agree with you that it's disappointing we won't see games specifically made for next gen for a few years yet, current generation games already look incredible. Games on the Xbox Series X (and hopefully the PS5) will just look sharper and run at better frame rates. I'll take that over game looking beautiful but running like garbage. I bet Halo Infinite will still look amazing on Series X.
Peeps gonna shell out $500-$600 just to slap in their 360 disc of Skyrim in this.
Agreed.
12-14TF at $499 was my original prediction for MS..they really do need to just eat the hardware costs to get back their momentum next gen. I'm guessing w these specs at $499 it's at least $100 per console they're losing but it's well worth it.
Nah, I agree, there is some new stuff around software solutions but all of the hardware headlines here (SSD 12TFLOPS etc.) have been known for a while now.
If they continue adding to the list then that would be amazing! I miss the weekly check for new BC items (even though I don't have an XBO at all) I kept all my 360 / OG games and knew I'd be back one day! The Series X is my return point! I skipped a whole generation (and with lots of reason), but MS has pulled me back.
I mean, if they could use this tech to enhance all BC games, that would be amazing, definitely! Fingers crossed for some next gen enhancements then! :)
If EA supports it, it would mean there would only ever be 1 SKU (not including things like Ultimate Editions). They wouldn't have a Series X listing and a separate Xbox One listing.
That's exactly what it is. Basically you can buy the base Xbox One version of the game and it'll immediately become an XSX game as well if you play it there. No more repurchasing old games for newer hardware.
