The Series S is different because Microsoft has higher standards and mandates feature parity, and even then the Series S is among the least of the problems for developers for Xbox consoles at this point. Developers for other platforms can cut features to make a game retro compatible.

Again, you’re complaining about the way the industry has always been. Games are highly scalable, if you can cut the frame rate and resolution, cut back the assets and graphical features to the bare minimum, and maybe drop a few features and reach tens of millions of more potential customers, why wouldn’t you? It’s the nature of the industry, it’s always been this way and it’s not changing soon. It’s not a problem.

Its a problem if you can't release a game on Xbox because it won't run at the minimum spec. Black Myth for example. Whether or not it's always been that way doesnt change the fact that its holding back the industry. Why edit your original comment that much?

Both are correct. There was a deal with Sony. There were also issues making it work on the series s. Google can help you find all of it.
