Kinda strong word, I'd use "interested"...

 

[Iced Arcade]

Yes.


They didn't send media/reviewers Series S consoles... Imagine being one and getting a Series S while everyone else gets a Series X "well guess it's fuck me and fuck reviews for you"

lol Series S

 

[KURDISTAN YPG]

The ehole point of the series S is to catch casual gamers off gaurd bro the premiem x has to be main talking point-

 

[GreatnessRD]

It shouldn't exist, that's why.

Ps5 is special when you look at it it’s the same hardware as the PS5 disk version series s (terrible name) is at lot better than gamers give it credit for, better than the Xbox one series x but not as good as the Xbox series x.

 

[Michael Hawk]

The reason they're keeping you in the dark about the Series S and its capabilities is because the S is a noticeably underpowered 'next-gen' console without a disc drive. It's the consequence of targeting a lower price, i.e. the console is unimpressive compared to the Series X. You never lead with your bad foot, so it makes sense why Microsoft would prioritize the Series X instead of the S.

Since launch is still a few weeks out, we may get new Series S stuff soon. Hardware breakdown, cross-play with the X, that sort of stuff.

Series S is the Hunter Biden of next gen

 

[NickFire]

They have outright admitted the Series S will be their sales leader next gen, and seem content to let the price do most of the talking otherwise. It's probably a smart move to not say much else right now, because it will just cut against expectations of being all about power this generation.

What do I want to SEE?
Games running on the console

Am I asking too much? The big 3 are asking me for $300-$500
Show me what I'm paying for

Good point. No complaint here.

 

[Self]

I dont think MS has any interest in really selling more than their initial small shipments and if they had a choice they would rather stores stock Series X than S. I bet it has a tiny shelf space and online presence as well.

That doesn't make any sense, at all.

 

[Trunim]

Because the big majority who's going to buy a console doesn't even know they're coming out in November. Just the loud minority of us nerds, and you do not want to get in the ring against PS5 with a Series S.
