Stop being so elitist, maybe it's not good enough for you and you bought a Series X/PC/PS5 instead, it's still plenty for a lot. A few devs have complained, probably cause it actually involves putting the time in getting stuff to work well with the memory constraints. To me that's the only issue really. It should have had at least 12GB as not all games will scale down the RAM usage from 4k to 1080p. Especially since lots of Series X games don't run anywhere near 4k anyway.

Most games are still being released on previous gen consoles - not just the pro versions either, the now ancient and slow original PS4 and Xbox One, including Jedi Survivor btw - if those can run the games, the Series S has a much easier time doing so with the extra memory, ssd and modern CPU (jaguar was bad) Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. TheinsanegamerNBecause the hardware is so weak. It can BARELY run 1080p. Games like jedi can hit as low as single digit framerate. Games that run at a solid 30 FPS on series X run low 20s with stutter on the S. And its not getting any better, the S has so little RAM and hamstrung hardware that it doesnt get any of the eye candy from the quality modes either. It's far more powerful than the PS4 Pro. AMD already said the 4TF GPU in it is similar perf to the 6TF GPU in the One X. But aiming for 1080p instead of 4k, and the CPU is lightyears ahead of the crappy Jaguar chips in the last gen machines. Most games on it do run in at least 1080p. and there's crap loads of games in full 4k on series X too. Most of the stuff that drops the res heavily is doing so to push 120fps.

In the interim, after Sony's majestic marketing win during the PS4 unveil, they've grown ever more aggressive, dirty, and corporate about their games publishing. PlayStation fans are like mindless zombies who will accept any slop that has Sony's blessing, and they've managed to assert their brand to the point a lot of people simply think "PS5" when you talk video games. They even look dismayed when I tell them I prefer the Xbox, and the reality is, I'm a PC gamer at heart. I tolerate the Xbox, that's about it - while I vilify the PlayStation.

For recommendations, you should always try to put yourself in the shoes of the person and not just recommend what would make you happy. Ask the person what they actually want out of the device. They may have been playing on console for years and just want something that lets them play new games, not looking for a totally new experience and just want to know if it's worth it to upgrade to the next generation. Show them the experience of playing on PC, if they don't care or don't notice the differences that you feel strongly about, then you shouldn't be trying to force them to buy something that isn't going to bring them any additional value. That's why I'm sold on it: you’re actually getting the amount of storage space Microsoft promised in the original console.
