Strawmans and bad arguments again. Lets break it down again, shall we?
I didn't argue that anything would sell 0. Not even close

Now on to the bad comparisson: The 2DS and 3DS are fundamentally the same system. They contain the same hardware inside and they run games practically the same. The only reason why the 2DS exists in the first place is because 3D was a gimmick at the end of the early 2000's that didn't catch on as much as expected. That is basically the only difference between the two systems. They run the same framerates, run the same resolutions and they run games exactly the same, minus the optional 3D aspect. None of this applies to Series S.
There's other reasons why this example doesn't support your argument, ofcourse. For one, I've specifically mentioned that I was talking about home consoles, which 3DS/2DS are not. I was also talking about launch price, while the 2DS came out much later after the 3DS. We also have no idea what the hardware split is between between 2DS and 3DS which is important because, unlike your strawman, I argued that the market for cheaper/low specced variations is LESS than the market for regular prices consoles, not that it doesn't exist.
Not a good start, Cireza.
There's nothing more to discuss with me because I wipe the floor with you. Your opinions are not based on facts or careful analysis, but by your personal preference for the Series S system. Obviously a lower price means a bigger audience, but a lower price also means a lower specced system and all the facts show that there are less people interested in a lower specced system for a lower price than a base model for the standard price. It's funny you claim this was "Demonstrated a ton of times in the past" and yet funny enough you can't come up with even a single example, and all examples i've cited show the opposite being true.
It is an estimate by people who know far more about the video games market than you do. Now, I understand that basically everyone knows more about the video game market than you do because you have no idea what you're talking about, but rest assured that market experts generally know what they're talking about
Yeah some stupid reason like..Oh i don't know, there not being any precedent of this happening or you being unable to cite any facts to support this? But i'll throw ya a bone here: Accepting that the split, with current data available, would much likely be in favor of Series X without hardware shortages, the split COULD, hypothetically, swing back to Series S later in the generation. Even if we accept this hypothetic scenario (Which again, is not based on any facts or precedent) as a possibility.. it STILL doesn't make me wrong because my argument was not that there was no market for it: My argument was that it's not a dealbreaker for most people buying home consoles and the only way that argument is wrong is if the Series S somehow outsells both Series X and PS5. Which is not happening, obviously.
I'd ask for you to cite a source on this, but i'd wager that the odds of you actually being able to cite a source and this not being a friction of your own imagination to be close to zero.
While the irony of someone with basically no reading comprehension skills pointing out a typo is certainly not lost on me, I acknowledge that this is probably the closest you'll get to a win, so I'll allow it.
