I still choose PS5 with Disc over than Xbox Series machines regardless of the price.
PS5 have Ratchet & Clank and Astrobot Playroom. Two 3D platformer games i can play on PS5 on year 2021.
Xbox Series have.... Nothing to buy.
No DDR, No Kinect games, No 1st party kids games by Microsoft exclusively on Series = No Buy.
Xbox Series S delivers the same next generation speed and performance that define Xbox Series X. It is similar in CPU and has the identical I/O performance as Xbox Series X, making it easier for developers to deliver the same great performance, while rendering at a lower resolution.
@Grumblevolcano Everyone's doing the sob story of how leakers are ruining their reveals. Who's to blame? With the uninspired 499 price we already assumed before there was no "there" there. They knew these prices in June and refused to tell anyone for what reason?
MS's entire price game hinged on the "surprise" Series S....but they sat on it too long trying to use it as an incendiary after Sony announced, but it backfired....you can't keep the pin in the grenade for 3+ months. Sony's entire price game hinged on probably just wanting to go last as they always do, and goes along with their original plan of not even attending E3 even if there was an E3. They get annoyed at leakers but that's pretty silly for them to assume they could actually keep hundreds or thousands of people in the know at this point quiet up until practically launch day. They couldn't even hold off their own accessory inventory to keep the secret. And we already knew there was a second "project" along with Scarlett a year ago. It's been a silly game, and waiting until next week as the intended target was really never going to work in the real world. I don't like leakers anymore than anyone else, but this attempt was just silly.
Still, it worked out for them, they caught Sony during their anniversary blitz while they're screwing around with VR tech demo reveals for the current gen all week and committed to no news. And Sony's going to have to react to the Series S somehow. They can't just come out the gates and say "our base entry is $100 more than theirs, kthxbai."
Best scenario is Sony heavily undercuts....say $350 for all digital. That secures them wining the gen "more power, teh 4 kays, for only $50 more!" again, MS stays the underdog and keeps providing value, Ninty is forced into competitive stance against power (price drop!) And I'd be cool with PS5/XSeX for $850.
If Sony comes out with $400, which some still see as unrealistic....that's going to be awkward for them.
The Series S model looks pretty cool, I like it. My best One games are on disc though so the all-digital part means I'd need to buy my favorites all over again...
But eh, it's not like I'll upgrade from my One S anytime soon. Hopefully by the time I decide to upgrade, there will be some cool special editions, price cuts, and perhaps major sales for said games.

Yeah that's my general thinking too. The only thing making me think twice is the fact that my One S will sell for a much lower price if I sell it in 3 years time. I'm considering just selling it and all my Xbox games now and buying this on launch, and then just waiting to rebuy all my old games digitally whenever there's a sale on!
Have they said that all of your existing digital games will transfer onto this?
I'd probably just start stressing out about not being able to play the games right now (because I obviously only feel the need to play a certain game when I no longer have it!).
I could use facebook to sell mine, though It's not something I'm experienced at. I usually just keep old consoles. This one in particular could become the family 4k blu ray player.
The lack of disc drive is obviously the reason for the value though. They're probably selling it at a loss because they know they'll make that money back in digital sales.
I still want to know what happens to the "Xbox One X enhanced" games. Do those enhancements automatically apply as well? Or do we need to wait until they redo those enhancements for the new consoles?
Cos I'm thinking of games like FFXV where the enhanced version unlocked the framerate but it didn't really get up to 60fps very often. I wonder if on these new consoles, that exact same enhancement will be available but it WILL be at 60fps. That'd be good.
Cos if we have to wait for the devs to redo it, they might never bother.
Have they confirmed that all of your digital games just automatically cross over onto the new console? You definitely don't need to buy them again?
No, you don't have to buy any of your digital games again, whether they are Xbox, Xbox 360 or Xbox One games. They also confirmed that you can just plug your current external HDD in Series S/X and they will recognise all your games. For playing Series games, you'll have to move them to the internal storage or expansion card but you can run the other games on the HDD if you want to.
I want to believe the Series will make the games think they're being played on a One X (I assume devs would need to update their games again to add Series Enhanced on top of the X Enhanced).
