The cherry picking of some points and ignorong others has me rolling, too.

I like the Series S. I think it's pretty awesome for what it's capable of and at it's price point. Microsoft, at some point during development, had to make a decision on whether or not to force developers to make games for both systems (or just develop for Sony, I guess).

That's a tough decision as I think it through. If some games are only available on Series X, then the Series S is really becomes just an Xbox One X Pro. I understand why they would come to an agreement with developers to code for both. The result puts them a little behind the 8 ball 2 years after launch, though.

I also agree that some devs could use this to shed some responsibility when their games suck as a result. This is exactly what we're seeing with Gotham Knights. I'm not sure it's the smartest move to go public with your complaints if you're trying to maintain a good relationship with MS.
