Sooo, will the XSS outsell the XSX or nah
- Thread starter Niks
- Start date
By a mile - which begs the question, will devs focus time, energy and money in optimizing for X.
I'm not sure yet, I think people are seriously overestimating the impact of the price alone
Xbox 360, the Core definitely didn't sell as well IIRC
and didn't the 60GB PS3 outsell the 20GB model?

I think it will be close but Series X will sell more. Has the cheaper version ever outsold the primary console? Xbox 360 and PS3 had cheaper models that didn't sell nearly as much as the primary models.
NGL I didn't even think of this as a possibility, but I guess it probably will since it's cheap. I know we want to get my niece one.
Only way I see it not is if MS don't want it to and limit it's supply or mid gen consoles cut it short with a better priced machine, but I don't really think it'd happen, but I wouldn't be super shocked if it's got less overall supply. The better price vs performance usually wins, especially when it's a crazy good price to performance.
Xbox One S…? PS4 non-Pro…?
"the primary console" is loaded language. It's not like Microsoft is calling the Series X the "Xbox 4" and the Series S the "Xbox 4 Lite"
100% Especially if I'm a parent buying my kid the next system? They are getting the cheaper one that is just as good and we don't have a 4K anyways so how about you shut the fuck up and enjoy your christmas present you little ass.
Even myself.. I'm going for the S cause the price, ready for digital honestly aaaaaaaaaaaaand don't have a 4K don't care to get one.

It depends. Probably. But the consumer it should most appeal to also values used games. Especially low income families. I know everyone cites how downloads are like 50%+ of sales but that doesn't include used games. Not just GameStop. Pawn shops, thrift stores, between friends and family sharing games, flea markets, OfferUp, Facebook, Craigslist; etc.
I'm almost never right in my predictions so it will probably be a better seller idk.
I think XSS for sure will prove whether an all digital console can make it since it will be a focal point day 1. What happens if it sells like 20-30% of what the overall platform sells?

That's where PS5 comes in. Major marketing dollars are going into PS5 and XSX. Series S will just play second fiddle due to lower specs.
I honestly have my doubts. For next gen, Series X and PS5 are the baseline, with Series S essentially occupying a weird in-between gen space. The Series S might perform well in the first 1-2 years when the majority of games are cross gen with PS4/XBONE anyway, but when games shift fully next gen 2-3 years from now the Series S is going to seem ancient. Especially if the PS5 and Series X get price drops and/or Pro versions, and the rumored Switch Pro becomes a reality, sales of the Series S are going to drop like a rock.
That's how they have been marketing it though. Up until this week, there were no significant details about xbs. It was all about the xbx.
that's because the series x is the enthusiast core gamer offering.
the series s side of the market doesn't follow the news/hype cycle regarding game consoles that are months away.
microsoft wouldn't have gone all in on hardware with the series x if they weren't planning on using it as their main weapon to fight the ps5. the series s is there to help steal sales away from the ps5 but it isn't the main weapon.
