A console is so much more than its TFLOPs - as digitalfoundry proves in this Xbox Series S vs PS4 Pro 4TF face-off:
We're over two years into the current generation of consoles, but true current-gen software is thin on the ground. Instead, the vast majority of key games have been released on both eighth-gen consoles and ninth-gen consoles, straddling seven distinct hardware targets across two generations to maximize sales. At the same time, the Xbox Series S continues to engender controversy.
Take Cyberpunk 2077, for example, which launched in notorious form on the last-gen machines, essentially because it's a next-gen game by nature. Its official 'next-gen' upgrade arrived and post-launch, Series S in particular has received a lot of love with the addition of a 60fps mode and FSR2 upscaling support.
Elden Ring is one of the bigger technical curiousities of this generation. It's undoubtedly a great game and in its own way, a quite attractive one. However, From Software has made very poor choices in terms of the game's basic visual configuration, targeting unlocked frame-rates on the enhanced last-gen consoles and current-gen machines. It's a slightly maddening setup made all the worse by the almost total lack of improvement on consoles since the game launched almost a year ago.
The Witcher 3's next-gen upgrade once again shows the advantages of a more modern hardware design. If we had booted up this game a month or two ago, we'd be stuck with the base Xbox One codepath on Series S, producing some less-than-ideal results. But Series S is now home to a native version delivering a 1440p target resolution quality mode, up against PS4 Pro's checkerboard 4K.
And there's another key factor that ultimately favours the Series S more than anything else: a range of games are simply not being released on last-gen consoles. In 2023 most key software has no planned eighth-generation console version. In 2022, PS4 Pro continued to deliver some great first-party exclusives like Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7 and God of War Ragnarök in addition to third party fare.
