It's no wonder they're unwilling to abandon the Series S when it's selling so well for them.

Is it really selling well for them though?

that's why they released the 1tb version, probably cheaper to produce and bigger margin

I love my $150 Series S. I even plan to turn it on some day.

People might laugh at that, but they can't grasp Microsoft would be losing 75% of their already meager audience.

I wonder what this place would do without Microsoft news? 
Anyway, series S was huge in the pandemic.

I don't know about that.
One of the worst holiday season sales in years were they had plenty of series s consoles that were discounted.
YOY drops this year in alot of regions, being outsold by the switch reguarly in their biggest market.
Maybe if we compare the series s sales to series x in a vacuum it's selling well

Forecasted: 64.9% to 35.1%
Actual: 74.8% to 25.1%
Now the question is when was the forecast done? If it was done months and months before then supply issues might be the reason. But if the results were close timing wise to the forecast, then they would already know the supply situation and should calculate accordingly.

Meanwhile i'm one of those weirdos that have four Series X in the house and zero S.
They just might... i think Heisenberg may be onto something predicting MS full starts their next gen a year or two after Sony puts out a PS5 Pro model. They completely stand to lose the TF/power narrative if they do that though unless they go all out super crazy on the next box making literally zero profit to make it as strong as possible to the consumer.

It would be funny AF if the majority of people capping in the ps5 vs xsx threads end up having only a series s 
Doubt it since this is a enthusiast forum

Thats why a series x pro will only be a pc. They cant do a third sku, it will be suicide.

So, basically it's Series S vs PS5. No wonder Xbox is struggling.

Or only own a PS4 and a Series S... which also wouldn't surprise me.It would be funny AF if the majority of people capping in the ps5 vs xsx threads end up having only a series s

People on the internet love to argue about shit they have no personal experience with.

I have seen more marketing about the series S and gamepass than the X
same in the stores

They always sell at a loss during launch. Spencer said a year ago that they were losing, as of that time, $100-$200 per Series console, so probably more than that at launch in November 2020. And these consoles have had zero revisions (while PS5 is about to have its third and the disk SKU has been profitable since June 2021) so they still lose a lot for each unit even now. So if they release 2 years earlier there is no chance they have better hardware than PS6.

Wtf I had no idea it was that skewed. How much of those series s were bought during the two years where you couldn't get a PS5, too? And how many more were given away in cracker jack boxes?
That makes so few series x out there. See? People will absolutely switch ecosystems when they go through a whole gen feeling like they bet on the wrong horse. Those digital libraries: piles of games someone has already played or had stack up on subscriptions, are not the be all end all.

In the Netherlands, there is practically no marketing at all.
I think MS' gamble backfired big time. With the pandemic and inflation, Series S seems like the ideal solution for those who want an Xbox, but they get the worst experience.

No wonder they don't want to push for a Pro console when the majority of Xbox console users are on the Series S. I wonder WTF their plan will be once Sony inevitably drops the PS5 Pro?

Heavy PC marketing. They've been seeding that already.

Should have made it 6-8tf, all digital, 16gb of fast RAM and made that the only SKU.
They’ve just gone with the worst of both worlds here. A premium machine that’s outstripped by both PS5 models and a cheaper machine that’s handicapped by a poor RAM configuration and underpowered GPU.
There’s nothing saying they have to compete with Sony spec wise. Just release a good £349 machine instead.
