This shit is embarrassing. What fucking year is it Microsoft

>cutting edge technology
>lacks an SSD

Why would I want an SSD in my console? Doesn't a standard HDD have more capacity at fractions of the cost? Space seems like it would matter more over a game loading faster with a 250GB drive...

This is a genuine question.

This. If you buy any computer now without a ssd, you are either retarded or.... Yeah I guess there is only one excuse

>Why would I want an SSD in my console?
because they are 10x faster than an HDD and not that expensive anymore. also you can have both.

how many games do you actually keep installed all the time anyway?

tis' always the times for cost cutting.

There is a charge kit that...you know what? I can't be bothered.

>I want outdated shitty technology that whirrs and clicks and eventually has a massive fail because it's the cheapest one the company ordered

Good point, not many

>cutting edge technology
>doesn't project a 3D stripper hologram at all times

With the amount of games that load on-the-fly now, an SSD loading times AND performance

The most powerful console in the world

>b-but 4k!

The best part is that that screenshot is the game running at 1080p.

NIGGAH SHIT IS STILL LOCKED TO SUB 30 FPS

Yep

>tfw getting 80 fps on a 290 at the same resolution
Why do console publishers keep gimping their shit so hard?

>CUTTING EDGE technology

That's what happens when you pair an absolute shit CPU with a mid-high end GPU.

Well you know, Steam Controller is a good example that AA batteries are still worth it. The fucking controller lasts for months with those thinse.

>>still requires AA batteries

Thanks god. I much prefer to use my rechargeables and never have to be stuck playing corded or buying multiple controllers to charge while I play.

Literally no where even sells AA batteries anymore. You have more of a chance finding VHS tapes.

>Literally no where even sells AA batteries anymore
They do. You live in some 3rd world shithole or something?

>cutting edge technology
>laptop-tier CPU

>first party rechargeable batteries exist, some even come with them
>more options is bad

I will never understand this shit.

I never understood this. Do they get ridiculous discounts on GPUs? Consumer GPUs are always way WAY more expensive than a comparable CPU that won't bottleneck it but all I ever hear is that consoles have shit CPUs compared to GPUs.

AMD had shit CPU offerings from 2010-2016, so they pretty much had no choice since an Intel SoC would have required a ton of R&D on the GPU side or one of Intel's absolute shit iGPUs and an Nvidia GPU would have been more expensive.
They went for the cheap option and got the cheap performance they were after.

Console gamers don't care about framerate so Sony and MS designed their consoles for 30fps at best. Also AMD didn't have Ryzen ready and going to Bulldozer for the PS4 and Xbox One wouldn't have been a great idea for thermals.
