On paper you see a $299 next gen console being a great option to have on day one, but if the goal for Microsoft was to try and get ahead of Sony in sales this gen then it doesn't look like its working.
Most people who want an Xbox console are clearly spending the extra $200 on the Series X, so in reality it probably would have been smarter for Microsoft just to sell a discless Series X at $399 instead of the heavily gimped Series S at $299.99.
Just going by general performance anaylysis we see how much Series S can struggle to hit consistent FPS at a decent resolution without having to resort to many cutbacks on visual fidelity.
Why they made the Series S worse than the One X in terms of GPU and Ram performance still boggles the mind.
What are your thoughts on the Series S now that we are two yrs in? Was it a good idea or was it a good idea on paper, but a failure in execution?
