Upscaling 720p to 4k doesn’t yield good results, and that’s even when using dlss 3, the most advanced technology.

Teraflops are literally one of the most straightforward metrics - it’s how many trillion floating point metrics the GPU can handle every second.

The series S is similar to the gtx 1650, which is actually ray tracing capable. Besides, the series S can hardly handle it either.

And yeah, it will run the AAA games, but at 720p30, on the lowest available settings. It’s just a lesser console.

The 750ti actually handles games these days with similar performance to the PS4, which is piss poor.

720p doesn’t look good. My steam deck runs at 800p on a 7 inch screen.

Also, the series S has 4 TFLOPS. The 3050 has 9.1. Literally double the performance. Even the 5500xt, a very underpowered card, achieves 5.1 teraflops, a whole 25%+ increase over the series S. Youre basically saying the equivalent of a budget pc from 2019 is future proof.

The Xbox one X also has 6 teraflops, 2 more than the series S.

:p

The 360, because it’s more powerful. Harder to hack also, but there’s cheaters on every game on old gen anyway.

$150 to do something that is just software is completely ridiculous. If you paid that much you got well and truly scammed. That’s basically a switch right?

My nephew and all of his friends have jobs. He works in a cafe, one of his friends works in a chip van, and another in a children’s nursery, all legally employed. No excuses to be unemployed.

Are you seriously telling me that a machine with worse performance than a 2017 console is going to give you 1440p60 in AAA titles 3 years from now? Unless it runs EVERYTHING on low settings, it has no chance of reaching those targets. It’s the equivalent of a gtx 1650, a sorely lacking graphics card.

The Series S is a third of the series X. It’s weak as fuck. It’ll be outdated within 3 years, down to 1080p in modern AAA titles

That’s because it’s just started it’s lifespan, the Xbox one X, a 5 year old console, is more powerful that the series S. it’s just a dumb buy if you give a single fuck about longevity.

You can get a job at 14… I had one when I was 12, and I came from a wealthy family.

Get a job, it’s good for self esteem and it lets you actually do things if you don’t get an allowance. Save for it. Trust me, you’ll regret it if you buy a series S.

Then don’t get a controller or a new console and save till you can afford a series X. 300ish dollars and you can have the latest Xbox available, although I prefer my PS5, they remain more expensive.

Get a series X, the series S will be outdated in <2 years. You can find them cheap if you don’t mind second hand.

If you’re selling your console, you can factory reset it from settings. It will delete everything from the console but your accounts will still exist.

No Roblox ‘nuff said

Na. The Xbox was a great console in 2013, all the way up until the release of the Xbox One X.

Yes iPhones have work profiles. It’s under the “profiles” section in control centre and is called “work”. You can customise the notifications you receive and what apps are visible. Been on iPhones since early 20219

Jail breaking your PS3 is far riskier. You need to solder a mod chip onto the board for that to work. Also a mac is nowhere near powerful enough to run ps3, even ps2 emulation. It’ll have no chance running ps4 emulation. This is because the computer has to decode and encode the game’s instructions so it understands what it is being given and what it has to output. Put simply, the mac is pretending to be a ps4, something that has a very different architecture.

There’s PS3 emulators that work most of the time and there’s some unstable PS4 emulators but they need a bit of work from the user. RPCS3 comes to mind for PS3 emulation but I can’t remember the PS4 emulators that actually work. Beware there are some fakes though, one claims to be affiliated with RPCS3 but it’s a fake, doesn’t work, and is probably bundled with malware.

In response to your comment about power. There’s no point in arguing with someone who has their mind set. Try a PlayStation, you’ll prefer it.

Why do you focus on the teraflop count so much?

It’s a console, it’s not a pc. A pc with better specs is objectively better than one with worse specs, but they can both play the same games and do the same things. PS5 exclusives are incredible games, god of war, uncharted, ghost of tushima, the last of us, and I can go on for much longer. All of those games are inaccessible on Xbox. The PS5 is a better console if you buy your games directly and don’t use game pass.

The power isn’t the point. Also it’s 2 teraflops, it doesn’t really matter. The PS5 just has way better games.

PS4 has just been dropped from the upcoming releases. The series X is a poor man’s PC, the PS5 is the best console, but it falls short of a true gaming rig.
