Technically all PS1 classics are crossbuy. Playable on Vita, PSP and PS3. Also digital PSP games are playable on PSVita.
Xbox Series X: What You Can Expect From the Next Generation of Gaming (12TF, RDNA2 & Zen 2, Hardware Raytracing, Variable Rate Shading) OFFICIAL SPECS

My guess is this just means games will use their X enhanced modes by default (if available) and games with dynamic resolution will have it maxed out.

This sounds great, this might be a day-one buy for me. Worried a little about the price, especially because it'll be even more in Canada.
Moon Studios wants to make Ori 2 at 4K/120fps but yes AAA games ain't reaching 120fps.
399 is too low for this hardware. They're gonna sell at 499 and take a loss
Lets put it this way: When there were rumors it was 12 TF, people freaked out saying it's a pretty insane achievement. And they expected RDNA 1, which is less efficient. Then rumors started that the 12 TF number was actually based on GCN estimates, which felt more realistic to people.
In reality, it's 12 RDNA 2 TFs, which is even better than the expectations people got hyped about.
Nvidia uses artificial scarcity to sell the lowest specs for the highest price.
Sony and Microsoft buy parts by the tens of millions so they get huge bulk discounts.
I honestly have no idea what any of this means, I have no interest in the technical side of things, don't even know what a teraflop is.
What makes me buy consoles are the exclusive games, and from what I've heard so far there don't seem to be any? I can play them on my Xbox 1?
So what exactly would convince someone like me to drop $500 on this? I know this is an enthusiasts forum so more people here understand the technical side, but I think the average consumer/gamer will be on my side of the fence.

I think it all depends on how aggressive they want to be next gen. I guess it's just easier to say I wouldn't be surprised either way lol
If they drop this for $499 I'll be shocked.
For context, I bought my son a PC in August, it's got a 2080 Ti that is around 14.4 teraflops on average (clock speeds boost depending on temps) and an 8 core 16 thread CPU.
It cost me £2700 or $3500 - 6 months ago. SIX MONTHS.

My uninformed theory
they sell the Xbox at 399, undercutting Sony, drawing in tons of new players, make up for the loss on the hardware with the revenue of all them new gamers.

Yes, it will be very interesting to see which Pubs support this and which don't.
So much other great tidbits here also...
The multiple resume sounds great. I'm always bouncing between games and the though of just jumping in where I was is awesome.
Compatibility with all XB1, 360 BC and Xbox BC titles was known but still great.
Crossbuy between Xbox One and Series X is very nice. No more two of the same game that you have to buy twice depending when you jump into the console. Being able to buy the game once and have it "unlock" the version depending where you play is great.
I mean so much more, but damn...this is sounding great.

Games like Division 2 will be fantastic in consoles like this, Power, The SSD. Latency, Resume.
Fair play to MS.

This one will be 599, and there will be an entry level one that is a boosted One X at 399, and the One X will be cut to 199
All play the "same games", with some caveats and exceptions, meaning theres an xbox for every price point
Its a great play by xbox, especially coupled with their hardware upgrade finance options and of course gamepass etc.

Third parties will never want to invest too much into stuff like this, they simply don't benefit from it in the short term, thus making it not worth the effort (at least that seems to be their reasoning behind this most of the time). Which obviously is pretty dumb, but that's most big publishers, so ... /shrug

Oh, and PC Master Race people, this is the new baseline for you to claim your membership card:
8C/16T CPU
RTX2070Super or better
NVMe SSD
Anything less, and a console will be bettering you. Might as well call yourself PC Lower Caste.

Yeah! Please Phil Spencer if you read this, give us Killer Instinct 2 :)
They would likely already lose a bunch at $499, depending on the memory configuration, so $399 is very much a pipe dream imo.
If it is indeed 12TF RDNA 2.0 Phil was sandbagging big time with his early performance claims..this thing is a god damned BEAST and I am so happy about it.
I've been team 14TF this whole time but I was guessing that on RDNA 1.0 lol. I'm drooling at what an all new KI could look like on this system.

Yeah, that's what I keep thinking. MS keeps talking about Xbox, but where's Sony? What are they doing, and when will they talk about PS5? PS4 was already revealed by this time in 2013.
They would be eating a big loss per unit at that price. What is the expected BOM for this beast? Over 500?
Yeah, I'd imagine that both will be pretty damn close with maybe a few minor differences (Ex: a little more GPU power for Series X, a little more CPU power for PS5, etc.).
There's nothing surprising about this, is there?
They can't force publishers into business practices which they might view as revenue-narrowing, and they certainly won't want to tempt anyone to go exclusive or get all shy about the console like the N64 saw.
Seems to me that adding the feature, and I assume applying it for all first party titles, is as far as they can practically go with encouraging this policy.
Will be interesting to see if Sony takes the same approach.
Minecraft will look like this
5/10 nice water but still looks blocky.
I'm feeling this over $599 but sill thinking $499 is a possibility still.
