Linus doesn't have the kindest impression of the S in head to heads with the X.

If the only tangible differences between the two boxes were resolution and price, the S would be a very compelling option. In practice though we're already seeing games with significant differences outside of resolution. Series S is an interesting concept that could still be successful, but I think MS missed the mark a bit in comparison to the well designed Series X and I don't think I'd recommend the S to any friends whom care at all about fidelity as their primary Xbox. Still a good option as a secondary box or cheap Game Pass machine, though.

Winner: the tv!

What I find standing out most is how he's sitting right on top of one of the best 4K screens in existence and doesn't notice much of a difference between 1440p and 4K. When he's sitting at 6ft, half the distance I normally sit at "I would be hard pressed to tell the difference"

Which just re-inforces my wish for games targeting max 1440p on ps5 and xsx and focus on interactivity and ray-tracing instead of wasting GPU and RAM to render 2.25x as many pixels. For me 1080p is enough, 12ft from 65" Psst Nintendo, a console version of the Switch pls, it would be the third I buy but my kids have the other two and I can never find them or they need to be charged lol.
