Misleading consumers into believing they're buying a "next gen" console when it is inferior in every way to the XSX and the PS5 and is, in no way, "next gen" is genius? We have vastly different definitions of the term "genius". I prefer the term manipulative.
People buying Series S's today are buying a system that is already having issues running current games at 1440p or 1080p/60 and we're barely at the start of this generation because of COVID delays.
Hype it up as much as you want, Microsoft can only claim these "amazing" numbers because they're selling an inferior product and counting it as equal to their premium SKU. And I strongly disagree with Hendrick's assertion that these people are going to magically turn around and drop another $500 on top of the $300 (and probably the other $200 for storage) they've already spent on the Series S.
You're saying consumers are being tricked? Like seriously? I mean that's fine if you want, but I don't think consumers are that dumb. Or if they even care in anyway at what you are getting at. The switch is outselling everything and is like one tenth the power of the series s.
The customers buying a series s want a cheaper small console that plays the current games and they wouldn't even think, know or understand the difference between 1440p or 1080p. You're just trying to find an angle to attack but millions upon million of people don't give a shit, they want to know if it will play fortnite, Minecraft, fall guys, Call Of Duty, fifa, madden, apex legends, whatever else and the series s plays all those games perfectly well and will do for the majority of the generation.
It's selling, and reviewing well on all major sites that offer user reviews so your argument is completely invalid.
I would put money that the loading times of the series s will blow customers away more than the next gen power of a consoles graphics on a 4k TV. Especially all these cross gen games.
