Launch is also not indicative of real demand. Or dont you remember Wii u and x1? As soon as the holiday craze ends we will see if they dint need exclusives. And considering outside of the US the series s was comonly available I say they where severly in need of some big games.

Pc matters mainly in regards to xbox as they share their library. For Nintendo it dosent matter cuz phones can be double the power of a switch but you can't get their games on said phone so you need a switch. The thing about laptops is that everyone has one and almpst everyone needs one specially after all this lockdowns. If people need a computer and get the bare minimum and that cannalready play games as good as a series s and had the games, what incentive is there to get a series s?frankly you would not, you would go to the next step up amd get a series x. Sadly this is something that will mainly affect xbox. 

I agree, launch demand settles down and that’s when the 2021 lineup kicks in. I am confident it’s better then many assume. 

Pc and console gamers are not the same. Yes there is an unknown overlap percentage but many are either one or the other. Console casuals also gaming on PC seems silly to me, as does people being fine playing high graphics games on bare minimum settings. There’s a big variety in tastes and demographics. I can see Series S appealing to kids (and parents on a budget) for example. 

Otherwise you pretty much nailed MSs philosophy. If people gonna be gaming on PC and laptops no matter what, better off bringing Xbox to them. 

Many assume? Nobody is asuming anything, its what MS has told us. Can they surprise us in a future event? Of course they can, any company can release a bombshell at any given moment. But looking at the history of xbox, its more likely that sony releases another bombshell on this packed year than it is for MS to release one on the baren year. 

Im not saying pc and console gamers are the same. You are trying to turn it into that. Im clerly saying that everyone has and or needs some type of PC for either work, school or any other need and once entry level products reach the capacity of the series s, there is no way anybody is gona choose to also buy a series s.

Nope. thats you flip floping. The argument was if the series s was gona be the run away succes MS are making it out to be. and you belived it. Now your trying to say that even if your prediction fails you win either way.
