AkimboCurly said: I think Series S qua competitor to PS5 is also interesting. The substantial price advantage for Series S won't make any headway amongst gamers that have any strict preference for Sony exclusives, or the aforementioned 4k players, but I do think that especially amongst parents and kids, wanting a console for Fortnite or Minecraft or whatever game comes next, this will be the machine. It will be bundled with minecraft, it will be bundled with fortnite. This is a sizeable chunk of the market, which is incredibly sensitive to price, sensitive to bundling deals, and insensitive to graphics performance. Disagree? |
Totally agree with you there, but not only that, the Series S will be the first "next-gen" home console to hit the $200 sweet spot. At that price point, it will be hard to resist as a secondary console. I think the only thing that might become a problem for the Series S is if Sony decides to keep manufacturing the PS4 Pro and price it at $300 (and $200 for the holidays).
