I do feel MS are being a bit silly pushing the 1440p number. This is clearly a console aimed at 1080p full HD TVs and monitors. Ok it has enough headroom to run games at 1440p but how many people game on such monitors? I suppose the marketing peeps just like bigger numbers.

So digital foundry will surely be all over it to give us the deets. I'm sure of you have a 4K TV though the really you should look at the Series X unless your budget doesn't stretch that far.
Everyone is gawking at the £249 price for the Series S but seriously £449 for the Series X is an absolute bargain as well given the spec sheet.

One thing that needs to be cleared up is how the backwards compatibility works with xbox one titles, from my understanding it’s using the xbox one s base version of the game and then boosting the framerate and resolution if they were unlocked/uncapped in that base version. Games that were ‘x enhanced’ are not supported so games that ran at 4K on the Xbox one x could theoretically end up performing worse on the Series S. Hopefully digital foundry do a full comparison before these machines launchLast edited by Ghost; 10-09-2020, 23:24.

The Series X though should take the X enhanced versions and potentially improve frame rates key easily and if they dynamically scale the resolution in performance modes it'll most likely keep it 4K native throughout.
The Series S though I guess it's going to upscale from One S but maybe it can make use of the textures etc. you need on One X to make it look better?
At the moment we just don't know, only that both are fully compatible with previous titles. I really hope digital foundry get some time with both consoles before launch to answer those sorts of questions...
