Firstly the fact that Amazon was able to obtain so many used units for their renewed program suggests that quite a few bought a cheaper Series S while waiting on PS5 and Series X availability, and then sold that Series S later, and since PS5 supply is fixed and Series X supply isn't, it means that we saw quite a few people move from Series S to PS5 most likely, disappointing for sure. But, conversely, there is good news, because Series S is selling so well Amazon renewed, we do have more people coming back into the Xbox ecosystem to replace them. The 2nd point, if Series S can sell this well renewed at $260, why in the world is Xbox still trying to sell a new Series S at $300? |
The Series S is pretty worthless on the used market here in the UK. I can go on cashconverters right now and order a used series S with a controller for £124 delivered. RRP is £250. That's a really good deal, but in general you can find them for £150 no problem with a bit of looking. I can only assume it's over saturation of the market because I think the Series S was a decent deal for £250 so £150 or less even used is crazy. They made far too many Series S and not enough X.
There are more Series S than people that want them and it's driven prices into the ground.
