It's actually better than Xbox one X in many things . Better CPU , Ram may be 2GB less but it's of high MHz hence better perfomance and it supports all next gen features like ray tracing in games but at 2k resolution . It also has quick resume feature and vastly improved load times due to SSD. One X has more powerful GPU and can play games at 4k but the architecture is old hence graphics are not that great when played at 4k. The real major drawback is 512GB SSD which is way too less . Unlike everyone here on IVG there are many who don't have 4k TV and still enjoy HD gaming . For them Series S would have been perfect to play on gamepass if only it had 1TB SSD . Series s is digital only with a 512 mb hard drive. That's why it is mostly available on shelves everywhere. It has been marketed as a gamepass machine. Still the sales are not that high, compared to series x Also, if you add around 6k more(in india) you can get the ps5 de. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please point multiple stores you know in US/EU region where it's sold at "official price" . Most of is sold out everywhere . Granted it doesn't get sold out nowhere near as fast as PS5 but it does get sold out . Again please share your sources/facts for the sales numbers of Series X/S Pricing in India is definitely not right. 500$ Series X is selling in India for 50k and 300$ series S is selling for 35k . Also it's not 512 mb , it's 512 GB and yes that's the biggest drawback according to me . Fact that it doesn't have a disk drive is not a big issue . Those in US/EU don't care much and almost 80% of revenue comes from digital sales for Sony and MS . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck they'll offer you discounts as well, just to get rid of the inventory. 2) why did the one s fully digital version bomb then . It's a big factor everywhere. Even for playstation, the disc version has sold way more than the digital version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since all games install to ssd anyways. It's install size are smaller compared to other consoles as it does not need 4k textures. It is out of stock in India for some time now. No idea where you are getting info that shopkeepers are trying to get rid of the inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of reliable source of next gen systems (with warranty) cause not many know about him but he gets them. He has ps5 black market piece available. No xbox though.

You can use an external hard drive to store the games and transfer them back to the internal when you want to play them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does . You only get 364 GB of actual storage which you can use and its way too low . Also If you buy 1 TB external SSD your total cost is equal to Price of series X . Definitely think they missed a trick by not making it 1TB SSD and could have sold for 350 USD or so Edited July 3, 2021 by Krazyniks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
