I admit, I was wrong about the Xbox Series S.

You just can’t admit that Microsoft tried a different approach and it didn’t work. I get it. You’re a fan and you want them to succeed but we all know the difference between corporate talking points designed to spin a loss and actual success.

If Xbox was doing PlayStation numbers you’d be shouting from the hills about how well they’re doing and we all know it. You certainly wouldn’t be downplaying their obvious success.
I've never downplayed Sony success, the popularity jump because of COVID and the shortage of systems isn't downplaying it is what it is.

As far as the series S not working for MS, I don't know what y'all are judging that on, nothing Xbox was going to do the numbers of anything PlayStation or Nintendo coming off last generation.

MS is in an excellent position right now, have found there lane and now they just need to be consistent.

Thats exactly what it is lol

If there was no covid the ps5 would have likely surpassed the ps4 already. You literally could not freely buy the console for the first two years of release. Then you go on to say people only buy it because of the brand name lol

Stop it :dead:

Xbox has done good in 1 out of 4 gens and this dumbass is blaming Covid for losing :dead:

Sony sold over 100m 3 out of 4 gens and is only on pace to do that again because covid made it hip :duck:

UK used to be the second best market for Xbox in the 360 days, new COD comes out and the sales are split as 72% PS5, 20% Series S/X and 8% PS4.... how the fukk you only 12% better than the Ps4??? :huhldup:

this shyt was supposed to move hella units and be the entry point for a ton of new players but its mostly gonna be remembered for holding back Baldur's Gate 3 & Wukong launches along with being the most egregiously priced machine in the market after back to back price increases by M$.

Shoulda stood ten toes down on the Series X and do a digital only version much sooner

I still say this should had been a portable with option to run the more demanding games off the cloud.

But with the plans they had to buy Activision I can see what they were thinking about, pretty much a COD machine.

Sorry you nikka but The S was just a dumb idea. Sony got popular 3 generations ago
