We say 1080p because that’s the most likely resolution on the TVs on which the game will be played. More a practical resolution than the actual supported one.

1665

Except hardly anyone will actually play at 1440p or 120Hz. First of all, no TV has this resolution. Second, it’s likely the Series S does 1440p like the Xbox One does 4K. Technically it’s possible, but only some games will get there.

1666

My LG CX OLED has 1440@120. So do the 27" monitors my kids play their Xbox One X’s on. And they play at 1440p@60 today.

1667

What is it? :P I couldn’t figure out what I was looking at.

1668

It’s Microsoft’s Adaptive Controller.

Your focus group of one family is not really applicable. Something also tells me that you’re more of a Series X customer anyway.

There’s this mythical budget gamer you guys think is out there. We don’t know if they exist yet because every time this sort of thing was tried in the past, it didn’t work. Everyone just wanted the expensive thing. How quickly you all forget they tried this with Xbox 360 too. Anyone still have their Xbox 360 Core Edition?

1673

The Xbox 360 Core Edition was super gimped. It failed.

However, the Xbox One S has been extremely successful. This is the model they used.

1674

Previously castrated consoles had severe compromises, the XSS doesn’t. It will play every XS* game at full quality, just at 1080p rather than 4k, and it comes with sufficient storage to play those games unlike the X360 arcade edition or whatever.

1675

So not at full quality.

1676

I just did a search for 2560 1440 televisions on Amazon and I can’t find any. The search returns either monitors or 4K TVs.

1677

Image quality and framerates are independent of resolution.

1678

The one people bought to replace their red-ringed systems before the warranty got extended? Or was that the Arcade? Anyway, damn thoughtful of them.

1680

Oh yeah. The red ring was super thoughtful of them!

Jesus… I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at your post without losing my eyesight forever.

1681

Wait wait wait. The Xbox One S can do 1080@60? I think you’re thinking of Xbox One X?

1682

Your joke perception appears to be impaired. Let me get your chart . . .

1683

That should be 1080@30.

1684

Whew!
