-Series X is brilliant hardware across the board
-Likes controller and UI, not revolutionary, but nice
-BC across 3 Generations is terrific
-Series S is "anti-DF", haha (aka it's meant to be a budget system and not top of the line insane)
-Series S delivers what it sets out to do (then says he's joking it isn't really "anti-DF" like one would have thought)
-Most affordable and efficient Next-Gen machine
-Series S is "cool", a really effective piece of kit.
-Series S has same "zip/speed" of it's bigger brother
-Quick Resume reliability still iffy
-SSD space is small on S and will fill quickly
-All digital does mean you're limited by buying options, but Game Pass helps offset that
-Quite a difference in power usage between the two, including gameplay, resting, etc. (expected with the GPU differences)
-Series S runs hotter than X and PS5, but is whisper quiet like X
-Messaging says 1440p, but higher-end games tend to be 1080p/30-60fps (he's ok with that....just don't put it in messaging)
-Some games still run at 4k/60fps and even 1080p/120fps (I thought that was interesting)
-Very similar image quality in Valhalla (60fps X vs 30fps S)
-Series S holds up as cheap entry level console
-Some games retain the Ray Tracing on S that X has, some don't/turn it down (appears to be up to developers)
-Key concern is the system memory available on S long term
-Hopes backwards compatibility on Series S is tweaked/changed on S to be more like X (gives Hitman as an example that runs locked at 60fps at 1080p)
-Due to current economy/situation the system being released is smart/the right time
-Brilliant if you want a "Game Pass Machine" less compelling if you are a traditional core gamer
-States for some reason the system taps into that "wanting something just because it's small/the form factor"
