The Series S that bad?

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Nobody wants to waste resources developing and optimizing a game for a completely unnecessary SKU.

There's a reason why the best looking games are usually exclusives aka developed for the least SKUs possible.

Don't worry @MeachTheMonster, I got this!

Sony stans

I wonder if they can do a refresh and do it similar to Sony where the only difference is a disk drive. Is it really hampering development like that?

Everything is supposed to scale accordingly
At least that's what we were told

But no problem continuing to support the PS4 though, right? Bossa Studios dev the makers of the resource intensive Surgeon Simulator 2 and the upcoming I Am Fish.



They've seen how well the S is selling, they cried the SKU shouldn't count and now potshots from shadow "devs."

Pathetic.

Sure, you can keep those games. I didn't buy my S for them anyway.

Most of sony's next gen offerings has been 1440p, native 4K is more of an xbox/PC thing
