Any good TV will be 4K. It's been the standard for a while.
I mean, basically every decently-sized TV in stores right now is 4K.
No, just as I expect the more expensive ps5 will sell more.
I mean we can look at the ps3, 360, wii-u. Hell even the switch, 3ds XL, n3ds xl....

Definitely not.
The Series S will follow in the footsteps of cheaper launch models like the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. Marketing be damned, people will see this as a lesser version of the same thing even if the price difference is tempting.
Typically also the early adopters are more inclined to better technology which will put the balance in the SX's favour.

The thread title isn't "will the XSS outsell the XSX at launch?"
Yup.
This is the issue. I keep sensing a One S, One X scenario. How much can be scaled between the 2 without it causing issues will be key.
I can tell you that the series S is so compelling that I'm strongly considering getting one instead of the X.
Is it cheaper, yes.
It's also weaker and doesn't have a disc drive
Depends how Ms market them both

It can help set the tone, I think.
It's hard to say what narrative will come about for the SS. But there is definitely a chance that it's not seen as a real next gen upgrade and more of a half step.
I don't think the mid gen refreshes are a proper indicator, either.
The PS4 Pro and 1X definitely gave off an extraneous vibe of not necessary to the experience.
The Series S will absolutely sell more than Series X overall. The only question is by how much.
It's $200 less, attractively small, and few of its target audience will even care that it's all-digital thanks to Game Pass.

yes. i think it's an attractive product. upgrade from current gen at 300 sounds pretty appealing
heck, i'll probably buy on

What sells better, the iPhone11 or iPhone 11 Pro?
That should tell you exactly how XSS vs XSX would go?
According to a quick google search: "The standard iPhone 11 model led the way with an impressive 39% of sales while the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max followed with 15% each.". Looks like cheaper price prevailed, 39% to 30% of the sales.

S is DOA in Japan. No one cares about Xbox there and the Japanese market is still very into physical media, the lack of a disc drive makes it a non-starter there.
Didn't XL models generally outsell Lite/regular NDS/3DS in Japan? Its kind of abberation but it did happen.
Will it though considering it's $10/month upsell on All Access? I mean it "should" considering the pricing, and will be especially useful as "2nd console" for PS5 users, but with the 0 interest monthly pricing, I am not so sure. Talking about only the "global" (hah) all access locations. The rest of the world, S should sell better.
That estimate assumed all 4k TV sales went to houses without 4K, which obviously isn't true. Clearly some 4K tvs are sold to homes that already have 4K. That said, I suspect that you are right that the USA is right around 50/50 (I bet international is less).
Regardless, as others have noted, basically all decent TVs are 4k now, so it's not all like these homes are buying these TVs because they want 4k. It's just pretty much the default option now if you need a new TV. I really don't think most consumers give a shit about 4k.
That said, I care about 4k gaming so I'll be buying the XSX and PS5.
Yeah, you can buy an ok to decent 55"-65" 4K TV for about $350 - $500 now days.
As long as the S plays the same games, the S will sell more. Nobody outside enthusiasts cares About 4K 60 FPS.
I think this console is targeting the younger Fortnite players, parents arent upgrading, I say no.
I figured I would have to wait/spend the premium for the Series X, but with the S having the specs it does at that price, I think I'm going that route.
The price is crazy low and it's practically as good at playing games as the Series X is. It's going to sell huge.
I don't know why people think pricing is that huge a factor. Weaker specs and all digital is a big turn off for a lot of people. I think X will sell better.
