Considering Series S is allegedly sold at an even greater loss than the Series X, I doubt Microsoft wants people confused between the two.

Owing to an unexpected windfall, I was all geared up to buy one of the Series’. Only to discover that they’re still all sold out and will be for the next few months.
It’s precisely like the gift of the magi, except completely self inflicted and denying me a toy I wanted to play with.
Could find some One Xs for about the same price as a Series S, but that seems like a foolish investment at this time
I really would hold out for at least an S.Ive since reversed this stance since learning that there aren’t really any Xbox Series exclusives presently or in the foreseeable future I care about, it’s more of a gussying up of existing games, and them being gussied in ways I don’t feel strongly about.
And since my main incentive is Gamepass anyway, I figured I might as well get the One.
A decision I made when every Xbox One in the city finally disappears.
The universe does not want me having a new Xbox
Same. Especially as last I heard, the One X was discontinued, likely because the Series S is similarly priced (and maybe to curb that confusion some people have).I really would hold out for at least an S.
The One X does sound like it’s going to be viable for XBox gaming for the foreseeable future (as opposed to the base One/One S being “viable”)
The Xbox Series X console comes with a 2-metre Ultra High Speed HDMI cable that supports HDMI 2.1 features. This cable is required to support 4K gaming at 120Hz.
RGB / 60Hz (640x480, 800x600, 1 024x768), YUV / 60 Hz (480i, 480p, 720p, 1 080i, 1 080p)
3 840x2 160/60Hz, 3 840x2 160/24Hz, 3 840x2 160/25Hz, 3 840x2 160/30Hz
Not to punch down at MS, but this is a big part of why I don't really feel bad about sticking with Sony for the last few console generations. I prefer gaming on consoles despite having a legit Gaming PC because in large part I just prefer the no-hassle ecosystem. And MS's entire guiding philosophy for their gaming division the last half decade has been to blur the lines between their consoles and PCs, bringing a lot of unnecessary PC baggage to their consoles (and visa versa as well). And I'm sure that appeals to some people but it definitely doesn't to me.Dammit, all this setup stuff is why I preferred console gaming. I give it two gens before we start having to handle drivers ourselves.
