What you forgot to consider is that the Xbox has to share the RAM with the VRAM. The game on PC has 8GB RAM and 4GB VRAM as minimum. That is 12GB of RAM. The Series S only has 10GB. Which is 2GB less than minimum.
You needs less RAM in total on a system with a unified memory architecture, like both Xbox consoles.
True but not 2GB less, the Xbox is also still running an OS albeit a slimer one. I'd guess the smaller OS saves at best 1GB of RAM.
I did not realise that the Series S shared it's Ram and VRAM. That is something I had missed. Thank you
And with PC, there is only one view point at one time. You can have characters all over the map, but it only needs to render one at a time. Worst case it loads and unloads assets as you switch back and forth. With split screen console, gotta have both loaded at the same time.
