Like I said. The Wii was the only one with such a power gap. And you ignored all my other points about Nintendo standing out outside power.

Switch is a hamdheld first so a power gap was expected. Dosent matter as Nintendo consoles sell on the back on their ips. Xbox not so much.

And you are kidding yourself if you think power diference was large between the ps2 and the competition.

And why adevrtise the series s? Because you claim is for casuals. You think casuals do research or are in gaming sites or any of the sort? No. Casuals by their very definition buy whats shown on their faces. If its not marketed they will not see it and will not buy it. 

But again. You ignore why previous consoles who had less power sold better than the competition. Price was only one factor. But they atracted customers not by power but by experiences not available elsewhere. Like games or gimicks like motion controls. The series s has no such thing that makes casuals want to flock to it. Price alone will not make it the next hot thing.

If only MS had a plan to make their consoles attractive this gen. Like what if they went from 5 studios to 23 and got a major publisher like I don’t know...Bethesda? If only they did that :p

Otherwise I agree it makes no sense to advertise the Series S, at this time anyway. Console launches belong to the core gamers, and we want the best console. Fall 2021 and so on from there, I expect a different situation regarding the S. 

If only any of thouse studios had resulted in any games at launch or even the first year of the series s and x. And what about Bethesda? They dont own it yet. So after they do own it then they wait for actual games. 2022 the earliest. So still nothing.

And by Holliday 2021 the series s will be oudated. Like I said before, tech insiders are expecting near series s performance in entry level laptop's. Once that happens the series x is dead.

Can't just ignore everything going on on the rest of the competition. They get better and better so MS is not competing with a 2020 launch but  much better and higher quantity games not inly that..but the sales gap will be so huge by the time MS starts that people will be buying Sony and Nintendo just cuz its what friends have.
