I did read it...you seemed to skip this part


”We weren’t expecting customers to choose the Series S over the PS4 when both are in stock,” claims one store executive on the condition of anonymity. “A lot of them are just doing it for Xbox Game Pass, in fact the number one request is to help them set up Game Pass for GTA V.


Different products work for different demos.

Not everyone in the world is as heavy into gaming as the Arcadium. It's not marketed for the majority of this forum. The Series S is just enough for a lot of people

I’m enjoying mine:ehh:

I get to enjoy the XBOX library at a low cost

once a PS5 becomes available I’ll get that and probably get my multiplats on that

for now I’m eating

The Series S shouldn't exist. Microsoft completely misread the market thinking people wanted a $299 price point over people wanting the best experience possible. Sony got it right in making a $399 console that's about equal to the other one.

Let's be clear the Series S only exist to hit that price point not because people asked for it.

it’s basic purpose is to get gamepass subscriptions, the price point is just a marketing bonus

So I'm seeing this thread is popular and then I peep that it's Sony stans just bored acting like hoes again :picard: let's set the record straight...

You seem to love the Twitter angle but actually clicking on your link shows the opposite. In fact it says members only can order this extremely limited item but only 1 per customer.

So they have it overstocked but won't sell it, that's the story you're running with? Ok, I can create stories too...
shyt can’t even do 4k
WHERE LYING IS MANDATORY!!! It has already done it multiple times, about the same amount of times the PS5 has done it natively if you keeping score. When they start using the full Rdna2 features and mature their dlss solution? Flight Simulator is 1080p, that should tell you something but ignoring that and what it's done well already is more convenient :umad:
I’m stronger now :mjgrin:
Ok, let's test your might.....

Damn imagine battlefield on this piece of shyt box
The system is designed to handle next gen gaming design. Again, next gen gaming design meaning it's more capable than previous gen as long as developers use next gen technologies. Flight simulator shouldn't be 1080p on series s if the console is a weak as you think. Battlefield is designed from the ground up to be next gen and will run fine on series s guaranteed :yeshrug:

Your talking crazy bruh :stop: Maybe you didn't realize this but the majority of gamers do not own 4ktvs. Think about that for a second. And with covid creating unemployment, and just the poverty levels worldwide. Chip shortages, this is the perfect idea.

Now to you, to me, nah, we good. Only 200 more for what? Then why get an s, I get it. Why get a crappy 4ktv some will think, if you not careful prices can creep up to over $2000 quickly if you're unprepared. $300 vs $2000, $1000 minimum if you don't have a TV already. You know how games have been getting delayed because of COVID-19. Realize paychecks have been getting delayed permanently for a lot.

And $300 at launch means $200 isn't far away, $100 will be a reality THIS GEN :wow:

Can a Japanese person walk into a shop right now and buy a PS5 right away? No. I Can walk into most shops round the world right now and buy a series S. That’s the difference, clown.
