If Xbox Series S is 100$ cheaper than PS5 All-Digital, does Xbox have a legitimate chance of outselling PS5 this gen?

I think I need to see a few months of sales data first.  That's because Gamepass seems to be a major part of Microsoft's plan this time around.  This is one of the situations where the market could swing strongly toward the XBox or they might just reject it completely.  It all depends upon the details: console price, monthly fees, game selection, etc....

Gamepass is not the kinda thing that can give a substantial competitive advantage. That's because stuff like that can be easily countered. For sony to do something about it (by doing something similar) sony would need to see that its actually making a meaningful impact in sales trends. Till that happens, it would mostly be ignored by sony.

The series s seems to be a big downgrade compared to the series x, I wonder how good Next gen games will run on it, meanwhile the ps5 digital is still a ps5.

It would play games in exactly the same way. Just at a much lower resolution. That's why they have the exact same CPU. The only thing I find funny about this is that this makes that whole most powerful argument MS have been pushing somewhat silly. The XSS is living proof that being the "most powerful" is completely irrelevant.

Funnier yet because the point has been made by Microsoft themselves.

oh you again eh? i wonder why i even bother with this but here i go : having a XSX run native 4k vs upscaling 1080p or whatever the XSS will run is still better, same experience bit still beter.
it doesn't change the power narrative at all, it just gives people options
