I don't think there is any benefit to getting the next gen consoles now but Series S seems especially bad. It's severely underpowered compared to the x. The 4k upgrades for backwards compatible games are for just the x. Lower memory and storage. If you want a storage upgrade, you'll have to get an external hardrive that'll be just as much or even more than the series X so you might as well buy that instead. I'm honestly not seeing the point of this when the PS5 disc-less version is $100 more but doesn't have as much of a handicap to the hardware compared to the full console version that the xbox series does. The Series S seems as dead as Ruth Bader Ginsberg. This seems like a trick console that only ill-informed parents or grandma's would buy.

They saw that phones for poorfags sell well and applied it to their console
With the economy being the way it is I can definitely see a market for it, parents saying they can buy a game too if they get the S version

>4k gaming on tvs that 60hz still isn't a standard on and several fake
>4k on a tv to begin with when Visual Depth Ratios already dicked on anything below 65 inches beyond standard livingroom size
I mean if anything there's more of a reason for the S than the X. Especially given actual visual quality even if we're talking the rare, real 1080p 60hz shit hasn't really gone anywhere in over a decade.
Of course all this is thrown out the window given again, XboneX and PS5 are just PCs again with slightly less bloated OSs compared to windows (which wouldn't transfer to any meaningful performance gains)
All this for a cocktease on Ryzen gen 4 APUs.

Its the cheaper option and you still get all the goodies. Sure you can't do 4K but how many guys have 4K TVs to begin with? 1080p is still going strong and Series S will do 1080p very well. Consoles keep marketing around their GRAFFIX power but consoles were and will always be bad for hardware. They were supposed to be cheap, affordable entry level machines. That is essentially what the S is and it has the Gamepass stuff as a bigger enticement.

NVMe is a standard with a connection described.
While yes, the actual board could use NVMe tech if it doesn't have the connector it isn't Standard NVMe.
And this is getting away from the point that microsoft is retarded for not just letting people, BUY A REGULAR FUCKING NVME SSD AND STICK IT IN THEMSELVES.

4k is a meme anyway. If the Series S can run games at 1080p and 60fps minimum then it's worth it.
We're at the point where games get a day-one patch of several gigs so there's no reason to buy a physical version.

4k is good for monitors, and REALLY FUCKING BIG tvs.
Otherwise, yeah I'll give you it that it's a meme, but it is important to make the distinction.

Pirate everything.
Abandon what can't be pirated.

2K is perfectly fine for monitors. If you notice a difference you're sitting way too close

It's the cheapest way to play the most popular games. The big shooters and FIFA/Madden are on the game pass. That's really it's only true appeal. That being said, it's a huge appeal to a lot of faggots out there, so it'll succeed.
