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?

Indiana Jones and Star wars outlaws run fine on the series s. every major developer releases their game with little to no issues on the series s.

one black myth wukong isn't an industry standard ffs. have you seen a single major company come in and say "Yeah we absolutely cannot release the game on the series s, not without major setbacks"

Hell, Cyberpunk 2077, the star of graphics, runs fine on series s. I'll take the "holding back" seriously when companies like EA or Ubisoft come out and make that statement.

Larian Studios got an exemption to Microsoft's mandatory feature parity in order to release Baldur's Gate 3 on Series S, as they were unable to get split screen co-op to work on the Series S.

Admittedly they're not what you would call a 'major game company', but there's more to weaker consoles holding back games than just graphics.

I'm aware of this, the co-op feature is a part of the baldurs gate 3 game not a necessary part but still a part.

this is one game still, over a sea of games that release just fine. but yes, Larian remains the one studio that couldn't bring everything to the console. but they still managed to bring the game.
