Not gonna lie, this sets a bad precedent about the presumed pairing between X & S now.  Because MS made an implicit promise that the only sacrifice made with Series S would be graphical fidelity back in 2020.  Chickens coming home to roost by skimping on RAM like they did.

Definitely fucked on the RAM.

Next time they do this (and they will) it should be the same RAM/CPU but a much weaker GPU.

I think they should aim for half the GPU power and the same RAM and CPU and SSD next gen if they do a budget console and a premium console at launch again. Not only did the lower RAM hurt S, but only having 1/3rd the GPU power is also hurting it with some devs, they'll be much better off going for half the GPU power next gen. Or better yet just doing one console on release and then a mid-gen Pro console and a slim version of the base console, like last gen.
