If games consoles supported Mouse & Keyboard, I'd legitimately switch to them as my main gaming machine. The hardware and value propositions are definitely "there."<p>Obviously controllers work extremely well for certain game types, I even use them on PC when the game calls for it, but I won't be convinced first person shooter-like games (with or without integrated "aim assist") are a good controller experience.
Serious question: what's the reasoning behind naming scheme of Xboxes? Only serious, non-ranting explanation I've found [1] is that they're rebranding it back to just "Xbox", which somehow makes even less sense.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.businessinsider.fr/us/microsoft-only-using-xbox-name-going-forward-2019-12" rel="nofollow">https://www.businessinsider.fr/us/microsoft-only-using-xbox-...</a>
I'm surprised how little RAM they're giving it. The amount available to the game is only increasing by 50% over the Xbox One X. I think developers are going to struggle to squeeze the proposed visual improvements. If Sony gives a more meaningful RAM boost in the PS5, developers are just going to ship their cross platform games at lower quality on Xbox Series X.
> Developers will be using the overall 16GB of memory in two ways: there’s 10GB for fast GPU optimal memory, 3.5GB for standard memory, and 2.5GB reserved by the OS.<p>2.5GB for the OS? Can someone explain why an OS needs that much?
8k at 120fps is an exciting prospect. I just looked and you can buy Samsung TVs that are 8k for £2000. By Christmas these might even hit an affordable price amount.
