Yeah. it makes no sense to wait to debut it like it's some crazy ace-in-the-hole reveal.

except it could actually be just that. Imagine Sony reveals at 499, SeX is 599, and then there is Lockhart at 299. Any mom or dad is going to see the high end consoles, say they're too expensive and buy their kids the 299 one. Sony has no answer for that. MS would be smart to create that kind of device for a lot of reasons.

So why aren't they buying nintendos instead? The only way Lockheart is a true ace in the hole is if does everything the XSX does eexcept at 1080P. No diluting, no scaling features back.

I'd buy that.

Most people don't have the TV for 4K.

I just mean it's not something that is a mic-drop that needs to be hidden

I think that is exactly what Lockhart will do.

No way Dirt 5 runs native 4K at 120fps. But the way this generation is starting off, who knows.

Most TV purchases from the last couple years onward are and will be 4K.

I originally thought that was a likely scenario but the gulf in GPU is too much for them to use the same SOC for both without a lot of waste, and since they're focusing on going with a lot of silicon at reasonable clock speeds, it's not like there's going to be a lot of failed chips. Lockhart could be something where everything but the GPU is the same, though, with a smaller form factor. I don't see how they could have anything but the GPU be different and still have the games work the same on both.

Not so sure it can. But if it dooes, awesome.

Awesome, but my point still stands.
