February 2024 is the 40th month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox 360 when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox Series X|S by 0.36 million units.
In the last 12 months, the Xbox 360 has outsold the Xbox Series X|S by 4.09 million units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently behind the Xbox 360 by 0.47 million units.

This is the issue with things like this
Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console
However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.
So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.
The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell
I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.
I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.

"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."
Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.
I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.
Come celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Diablo IV and the 2-year anniversary of Diablo Immortal! There are heaps of rewards to mark these celebrations with a bounty of devilish goods across both games.
Tales of the Shire has many hurdles to jump to live up to the J.R.R. Tolkien masterpiece, and magical elements might be its most pertinent one.
Holly sh*t:
“ In the last 12 months, the Xbox 360 has outsold the Xbox Series X|S by 4.09 million units.”
Who would have seen this??
My question will be to those that said the 360 only made it into the 80 million range because of the red ring of death. That people had to rebuy consoles, even though MS fixed them all for free.
Does that argument change now because 360 is ahead of the series X ?? All of a sudden all those 360 sales are legit ?
As for the sales disparity, I really think Halo coming out in the state that it did and a 1 year dry spell for big games. Hurt the brand. Do I think they can bounce back? Yes, but it’s going to be good, fun games that don’t push an agenda or censor you that will revive the brand.
I remember when people confused chip shortage with genuine interest.
