Microsoft’s Xbox Series S Parity Demands Are Now Handing Sony Free Wins
Larian has delayed the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, currently on pace to possibly be 2023’s Game of the Year, until they can figure out how to make split-screen work on Series S.

This is why I refused to buy a Series S. It already needs to be replaced. With the Xbox One, you could buy the console and then in a few years they would release a more powerful one that played high end game better. I don’t know why they didn’t stick to that route.
The Series S sold them tons of units for a cheap console that plays the same games almost as well for half the price. It's done well for them, and plenty of people are okay losing 4K for that price and access to Game Pass. Supply constraints around the pandemic notwithstanding, I figured that their original "beyond generations" plan was to have a new console every couple of years much like a smart phone, so maybe the S was never meant to last very long either.
It played the same games(although not the same. Looks for reviews of Cyberpunk on the Series X compared to the series S) but it’s becoming harder and harder to do, as per the article. Sure it sold them a lot of units when it came out, but if people can’t play the games they want on an Xbox because it’s going to release 6 months later than PlayStation, how long will those sales hold up?
As long as the PS5 is twice as expensive, I'd imagine they don't change a whole lot, but also, both of those companies are looking at replacing the hardware they've got at whatever that appropriate time might be, as we both expected logically and found out from court documents. The ordinary trajectory of parts getting cheaper over time didn't necessarily happen, and Sony at least is looking at doing a "Pro"-esque version of their console, which means we're either getting a new set of half-step consoles or Microsoft will finally do their beyond generations shenanigans, whatever they are. At the end of the day, Microsoft basically only cares about Game Pass, and articles like this one just want to stoke console war nonsense.
