It’s less powerful than an Xbox One X. I think the problem is that they didn’t really think through what a console generational leap would actually consist of.

I think they thought through just how important hitting that price point was, because it’s done very well for them.

PS5 outsold both versions combined by around 2x. I don’t think it was nearly that big of a deal.

And do you think that would have panned out better if the cheaper console option wasn’t available? Not to mention it would only leave them with the console that shared a lot of the same components as the PS5 during supply shortages as well.

Lmao, bruh, no one who has played games on both would ever claim that. It has slightly more raw graphical compute power while having a drastically weaker CPU, slower SSD, slower memory, and slower overall throughput.

It has faster memory than the Series S. More importantly, it has more RAM. A few improvements here and there doesn’t make the Series S a real next-gen console.

As someone who has a One X, a Series S, and a Series X, I can assure you that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

The One X doesn’t get used anymore and the Series S gets used ballpark more often than the series X. Pretty much all games play a very comparable experience on it compared to the series X, something that cannot be said about the One X.
