At the end of the day, no serious tech enthusiast or generally informed gamer would opt for the Series S. Only thing that sucks is it hurting the Series X with now multiple games getting delayed overall because of it.

It’s hurtin the ps5 too we just don’t hear about that side. If GTA6 gets delayed next year it could very well be because of the Series s

Oh this is the stuff we don't hear about :mjlol:

Sony stans
Both Game Science and Larian were gonna delay all the console releases until sony stepped in to help with optimization.

There are other bigger publishers that probably aren’t willing to do staggered console releases because they already have marketing budgets allocated to them.

Series S isn't for tech enthusiast, it for people who want the cheapest machine possible to play current games.


It's crazy that MS has the most consumer friendly machine and enter into gaming now, and yet gamers are as elitist as ever. The series S is forcing devs to optimize their games, which every other platforms is benefiting from, even if there is a delay of some months.

Gamers are weird they care more about the devs than consumers, they want devs to take as a much time to optimize a game as possible until they don't, they want 40 hours of game play and no micro transactions or DLC... Just a ton of conflicting sentiments thrown into one big pot.

theres so much caping for developers but there are widespread issues with how games are released regardless

Not really, the vast majority of "gamers" that are buying PS5s and Xbox's aren't on forums arguing all day about optimized games and developers.

It's as simple as "Mhmm the PS5 is $400, this shyt is $300? Lol xbox my boys gonna be on that _______ and that new Uncharted/TLOU/God of War/Spider-Man looking fire!" and it's the system with the biggest mindshare next to Nintendo Switch. They should've just made a digital Series X for $400 and called it a day.
The streets will tell you what's hot, not The Arcadium or Neocac/Resetcac.

When I said gamers there I meant the Internet dudes. Clearly reg ole gamers ain't talking about devs having to work extra or getting laid off...

Yet on the Internet you'd think it is console defining type choices.


The Internet narrative bleeds into the streets with gaming tho and it always has, but the non tech enthusiast are getting switches and series s and playing games on there phone and tablets and laptops. That or they are just playing on there last generation system until something they are familiar with forces them to change.

Majority of people playing games on consoles are still on last gen.

Fact is, most people are not “tech enthusiast” usually with price drops the general consumer would start jumping into the new gen hardware. There have been no price drops this gen. so the S does offer a path for those people.

When the big hugely popular games like fortnight, cod, gta, madden go current gen only lots of those people will buy a series s
