When Sony and Microsoft announced the PS4 Pro and Xbox One S/X, they weren't necessarily doing it for the sake of bleeding more money out of us across a standard console cycle.

No, these "half-step systems" answered a clear problem from the start of the generation: That the standard versions of these systems were woefully underpowered when it came to the average title a triple-A dev was putting together.

If you've played on a Pro or X, you'll know this is the way a new console generation was supposed to feel: Not broken and struggling to keep a stable frame rate, but making load times a thing of the past, alongside boosting visuals to new heights.

With the SX, Microsoft are determined not to repeat the same mistake twice.

The system will boast a whopping 12 teraflops of hardware horsepower; twice as much as the "world's most powerful console" Xbox One X, and that should run everything just fine.
