Support NeoGAF

[TalentedMrJ]

by the complete lack of coverage on the Xbox Series S???

They release the launch trailer and an 8 minute video describing the console with very little actual gameplay footage

MS sends out preview Series X to youtubers and media sites. But no Series S.
Why?

Less then a month out and I feel in the dark about this console and it's capabilities

 

[Tranquil]

Doesn't it do everything that the series x does only it's 1440p and no disc drive?

 

[tommycronin]

Series S is the Hunter Biden of next gen

 

[MrS]

Bro, how many games have we seen running on X? They're not gonna show lesser versions on S if they won't show any X games.

Also, isn't the console available in very very limited numbers?

It's cheaper and less capable. If you're on NeoGAF, it's probably not for you.

 

[JLB]

Because right now only early adopters and hardcore gamers are interested on these consoles. Rest easy that you will get sick of Series S ads by Black Friday time.

 

[Arian71]

What other console has lack of coverage ?

For MS, this has to be their most lack luster launch ever
Maybe in the history of gaming

 

[bender]

I vomit every time I think about the lack of coverage.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

Yes.

 

[TigerKnee]

I'm disgusted that you're disgusted.

Stop taking video games so seriously.

Embargo gets lifted after Series X launch.

 

[TalentedMrJ]

What other console has lack of coverage ?

Just the Series S from what I can see. Series X has barely showed any games

Sony has done a great job with PS5. Demon Souls, Spiderman, and Sackboy. New UI

To me MS is shitting the bed right now

 

[benjohn]

It doesn't really make sense for Microsoft to put a lot of emphasis on a machine which obviously is weaker than than the competition. Most of early adopters are more interested in X and Microsoft wants to keep it that way. Later when more people buy into next gen, SS is also going to get more push.

 

[The Hamburglar]

I feel violated.

 

[Riky]

It's a pity they haven't sent any Series S hardware to say Digital Foundry, I'd love to see some comparisons not only with Series X but also One X.

I suppose because it only plays One S versions of last gen games they decided to concentrate on Series X for the core gamer first.

I've ordered one and I love how small it looks, One S is compact but this is tiny in comparison so hitting 120fps is quite a feat for a tiny box at this price. Hopefully see more very soon.

 

[Redlancet]

Doesn't it do everything that the series x does only it's 1440p and no disc drive?

It wishes

 

[Spukc]

Because people will compare the series S to the ps5

And show everyone how shit it looks

 

[itsnotme]

Embargo gets lifted after Series X launch.

Embargo lifts after its launch? Doesn't sound like their confident in it at all

 

[Slings and Arrows]

We have a console for people who want to know about the Xbox Series S, it's called the Xbox One X, Beta tested in the future

 

[THE DUCK]

Yes, for those of us consider a second or 3rd unit, it really would be nice to see how it's performing. (i.e mostly 1080p or mostly 1440p)

 

[Senua]

Disguted is a bit strong bruv

 

[FunkMiller]

It’s not a console for early adopters OP. It’s for casuals gamers. People who don‘t care if they’re playing on a potato. They won’t bother promoting it until Xmas run up.

 

[tillbot8]

It's the secondary console, they said what was in it and what it can do. All Xbox games work on it, what more do you want?

 

[Riven326]

No. Nobody cares.

 

[tillbot8]

I vomit every time I think about the lack of coverage.

I am literally shaking right now I can't even.....

 

[Umbral]

That 1/2 next-gen console? You’re probably the only one.

 

[JimboJones]

It's cheaper and less capable. If you're on NeoGAF, it's probably not for you.

I might get one, my PC will be my "SeriesX", SeriesS can handle some older games that never got PC ports and playing games that refuse to do crossplay with PC versions.

They are doing a sony. As in say nothing and let the console do the talking.
Why release info on it when naturally people like will draw comparisons to the ps5 digital edition. The console will be fine and find a market for price conscious gamers.
I meam what do you want to know so badly?

 

[Self]

Also, isn't the console available in very very limited numbers?

It's still available, like everywhere. Don't think the numbers are limited.

 

[TTOOLL]

Well, what did you expect? It will be dead within 2 years it seems.

 

[Calverz]

Exactly what im doing.

 

[Calverz]

Not in the uk. I seen someone on ebay sell their series s pre order for £340+

 

[RoboFu]

Where’s the hands on for ps5 and XsX games? At least the XsS had a lengthy reveal video.

 

[sircaw]

I think it makes sense to me.

Looking at the two new Xbox consoles,

One is a Ferrari and the other one is a station wagon, which would you rather talk about or show.

 

[Orta]

 

[01011001]

I bet they're already out there but under embargo.

it's pretty simple tho, games will run at either 1/3 or 1/4 of the resolution that they run in on Series X and the available SSD space will be around 350GB most likely

power consumption will be ridiculously low compared to the PS5 and Series X

and with low power consumption comes way less heat and therefore it's most likely super quiet as well.

 

[evanft]

DISGUSTING.

No, I don't care about this POS.

 

[evanft]

Double post.

 

[ViolentP]

Disgusted? Probably just you, yeah.

 

[Vawn]

Both Sony and MS seem to want people to forget these lower cost consoles exist, except for their price tags.

The PS5 "starts at" $399 and the Xbox Series at $299. Good luck finding one, as these companies are currently only making enough to say they technically exist.

It's a shame that the Series S and Digital PS5 aren't swapped. I'd have actually preferred an all-digital $399 Xbox Series X, at the same power, seeing as I'll probably only play GamePass games on it. But for PS5, I definitely want the disc drive. So, as it is now, I needed both $500 versions anyway.

 

[THE DUCK]

DISGUSTING.

No, I don't care about this POS.

Do you own a PS4 or Xbox one? The S puts them to shame. It trounces a PS4 pro and Xbox one X too, despite having less TF.
It's a compact beast, out shadowed only by two new outstanding consoles. It will get moderate traction for $299, will see it fly off the shelves next year when it's $199.

 

[Eliciel]

Disgusted? This is heavy involvement

 

[OnThePathToWisdom]

Series S is targeted to soccer moms and impulse buyers, they don't need convincing, they'll buy it regardless.

 

[Kimahri]

I can't say I feel puke in the back of my throat, no.

 

[danielJackson]

It's the secondary console, they said what was in it and what it can do. All Xbox games work on it, what more do you want?

Not all work on it, none of xbox original games work that are on disc, same for 360+one.

You said "All xbox games" which of course means all xbox systems. Same as "all Playstation games" = would mean all consoles + maybe even handhelds

If you meant xbox series s/x games, then say it, and blame Microsoft by naming their consoles so stupidly.

 

[Balducci30]

I love when people use words like disgusted when referring to video games
