At least they got the spacing right this time.
Yeah at E3 in June.

Xbox Series S mentioned once again on Game Pass card
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
I don't understand why they couldn't announce the Series S, showing why they have an entry level option and a premium option, and say pricing will come soon.
It seems like something went seriously wrong with it or they are no longer sure it belongs in their lineup.

The number of people who prefer physical - price conscious or not, is shrinking constantly.
There are tons of games that can be purchased cheaply via digital sales, plenty of popular games that are F2P, and services like gamepass, that throw out digital games like candy.
supply for Series S will be super constrained for the foreseeable future. They wont need to have many available for launch, so they dont need to start manufacturing all that early.
With the high levels of demand associated with console launches, flooding your supply chain with the lower margin device makes no sense. When people are willing to spend the most is when you want your most expensive option to be what is on shelves.
If they made the decision to push series s to next year, I imagine we wouldn't be seeing it mentioned in controller packaging. They would have had plenty of time to change the packaging.
The biggest selling point of a second console is price - showing games running worse or whatever has no effect unless it has a price
Do you think I should hold on to my launch edition One X. Since its no longer in production? Will it have some kind of value one day?
They can't announce the Series S without having games on stage to demo. That's a delicate balance in and of itself because they have to show the reason why someone should buy a Series X while also showcasing the that S won't be a nightmare trying to run the same games. If they can't demo that they'll sink either the S, X or the whole line before they've even launched.
Given the state of game development this year its likely been incredibly hard to find games to do that with. Wouldn't surprise me if the original intention was to do it with Assassins Creed but the game is in too rough a shape to do it.

It's hard to say. Though, unless it's some special edition Xbox One X, I don't see it holding any monetary value in the future since the Series X and S are going to have the same backwards compatibility as the Xbox One X. I can't remember if the One X is backwards compatible with Kinect games because I don't think the Series X and S are so there's that maybe?
Makes sense. I wonder if MS has a cut off date before they push forward with the lower end pricing and let Sony react.
