Halo infinite is not exclusive to the new Xbox series x right?
So why upgrade to the better hardware? Its not like the match is going to start while I’m still loading in…
Would I be missing out on higher frame rates? Better graphics? whats the sell? All i see is MORE POWER!!!
and they are going to need a really good price to keep people from just getting gaming PCs
Remember when Black Ops 3 released cross generation? There will be noticeable differences. Lighting, Framerate, Internal Resolution, textures, etc. Playing Halo Infinite on the XONE will be fine for alot of people, but PC and XSX will be the definitive way to play it.

This, at the end of the day, superior hardware means a better experience from a performance perspective. And to be honest, their goal is not to sell you on a new-gen console right now. Their goal is just to get you into the ecosystem. If you want the better performance for a console price, go for it. Otherwise get a PC. More people in their ecosystem is better than just hardware sales, especially since hardware in general, is sold at a loss and I 100% believe the series X and Ps 5 will be sold at one.
If you’re a hardcore competitive gamer, then just go with a high speed gaming PC. If you enjoy playing video games as a casual consumer, then go with what makes your wallet happy. If you’ve had an Xbox One for years and probably need to upgrade systems out of necessity, then get a Series X (that’s the camp I happen to find myself in).

Maybe. The Series X is being designed to support higher framerates compared to the Xbox One, but we don’t yet know if Infinite will be capped at a certain framerate. We’ll have to see about this one.

Absolutely. You can already see graphical differences between games on Xbox One and Xbox One X. The One X supports better 4K resolution and HDR compared to the One and One S. Xbox One X-enchanced games also let you choose whether you want better performance or better graphics in certain games. I’m sure that the Series X will be able to support higher fidelity graphics for Infinite while maintaining the same level of performance (or better) of the game on Xbox One.
If they are going to have cross play between PC and Xbox then I would definitely go with a PC to play Halo Infinite, I think that is the best route for fans in general. The only problem with that approach is that it will kind of Kill the xbox series X.
They haven’t revealed anything in that regard so we can only guess at the moment but I think it’s safe to think about it as a PC version of a game vs XB1. Higher resolution, better textures, ray tracing, faster loading screens, better frame rate. Who knows maybe it’ll have better physics and audio too. But yeah if you don’t care about those things I’m pretty sure the rest of the game will be the same so you don’t have to upgrade to XSX if you don’t want to. Personally I’m hoping for 120fps, that would get me to make the jump… if I wasn’t planning to already.

I agree and I think I’m going to build a PC. I don’t believe the series x with a 1TBSSD will be under $600. So might as well spend $900 on something really good that I can upgrade in the future, play more games on and it will be something I can do more than game on. Not to mention how I would have to upgrade my tv if the series x is pushes more frames than the one.
Yes, nearly any objective metric (frame rate, texture quality, loading times, etc.) will inevitably be better on the Xbox Series X.
What isn’t currently known is if there will be substantive differences between the game versions. There were multiple examples of cross-gen games between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One generations where the games were actually different in game feature sets and options because the weaker hardware literally couldn’t run it.
For example, will the Series X version of Infinite have encounters with more enemies or more complex AI because of the far superior CPU? We just don’t know yet…
However, Infinite is the flagship launch title for the Series X, and it’s going to be competing with next-gen exclusive games on the Playstation 5, so my guess is that Microsoft is going to do everything in its power to ensure that Infinite is a compelling “next gen” game.
I doubt there will be major differences in performance if it’s cross-generational.
