I'll be interested to see how this holiday season goes. Series S will be the only console of those released within the past year (PS5, XB Series, Switch OLED) that will be mostly available in stores this holiday. Plus it's the cheapest of the bunch, so an ideal choice for casuals/parents. MS is in great position to clean up.

But if Series S sales still lag even in this situation, that doesn't bode well for that console's future imo.

People say the Series S is a great system but I absolutely don't want one and I'm an Xbox fan. Not knowing that it's a lesser experience. That FoMO is real! I'd rather go without. Sad thing is I'll probably still buy one but not until after I can get a Series X--which hasn't happened yet. I wonder if others feel the same way--just waiting for a Series X to be readily available.

Then again, my love for gaming has diminished so much since the start of this generation, who knows?

Considering you buy multiples systems per gen, even from same maker, I think you would benefit for getting S for now until X is made easy to find.
