The Series S is honestly a nice little console and I hope Sony or Microsoft makes another budget console come 2028 when next Gen comes out. (hexbear.net)

I had the series s for a couple years until I could afford a PS5 and it let a working class chick like myself enjoy current games on a budget. I still have it, and while I don't use it as much I'll still admit a series s and game pass is a god send for those of us who love to game but have other financial obligations and can't afford the beefier consoles ATM. (Or a capable gaming pc)

I realize Microsoft is a shit company, but I do think the series s is good for what it is.

Sucks that a vocal minority of idiot gamersTM complain about it "holding consoles back"

These are the people who only have video games in their lives and nothing else

Rant over. Much love ❤️

Series S' problem is more of a developer facing/Microsoft policy issue from what I understand. For BG3, Black Myth Wukong, etc., sounds like there's a parity requirement where the games need to have a similar level of functionality which devs have a hard time meeting. (and then the fans complain)

I think it makes a lot of sense though as a platform, especially as AAA loses its luster. I don't see consoles having much of a market at the upper price range in the future.

Funny too, since the real thing holding back this generation seems to be AAA still shipping on PS4.
