I am just curious if folks in this forum are more inclined to save a few dollars and go for the S compared with the more powerful X. Personally, I prefer to have a more consistent frame rate anytime running at 1440p than say the advertised up to 4K quality graphics on the PS5 and Xbox X.
Not a chance. I'm X, all the way.
I'm still on an OG Xbox One. The big black box, not even an Xbox One S. I want to see native 4K gaming in all of its splendor on my 4K HDR10 Dolby Vision TV set. Plus the X has twice as big of a solid state drive, more memory, three times as many teraflops of graphical power. All of that should keep the FPS rate steady at 4K on the X, probably after early developer optimization.
The X is more future-proof, as I don't plan on buying any souped-up, mid-generation variants of the original system, like the One S was to the OG Xbox One. And I sure as hell don't want to sit in front of 1440p images on my 4K TV two years from now and say, "F*ck, why didn't I get the X for just $200 more?"
I'm at a point in my life where I've grinded my ass off for 32 years in the workplace. My wife and I have saved like misers to put kids through college and have no debt other than paying off our mortgage within a year or two. One kid is done with college, one is 1/4 of the way there, the other is still in high school. We drive used cars. We don't spend money on clothes, shoes, boats or expensive sporting goods. I have a bit of savings I would like to splash on one of my favorite hobbies, and I want to leave the starting gates with a top-of-the-line rig, which is something I usually NEVER do in ANY purchase.
There might be a mental debate if the S was $299 and the X was $699. But for $200 more? The X is a slam f*cking dunk for me.
