buying game consoles in today's climate is tough but one is defying the odds constantly available in stock online on store shelves for msrp and at retailers that we trust like target and best buy and our friends over at micro center that console is this the xbox series s and it is probably sitting on store shelves because it is trash kind of at least if i'm going off of what i've seen scrolling on twitter but here's why those guys might be onto something and why that might be a good thing hello and welcome to denki channel my name is ken and it should be no surprise to anyone at this point that the market for anything tech is all sorts of messed up due to chip shortages supply chain bottlenecks and scalpers just being the absolute worst but with over a year into this new console generation there is only one outlier the xbox series s which is define the odds in its availability there are a few reasons for this including apathy towards its existence but i think that people are genuinely sleeping on the xbox series s and they shouldn't be and here's why you might actually want one for yourself but first let's get the low hanging fruit out of the way even though the series s shares the same amd zen NUMBER_TOKEN based architecture as its bigger brother the xbox series x and its first cousin once removed the psNUMBER_TOKEN the xbox series s is underpowered by comparison where the series x targets NUMBER_TOKENk NUMBER_TOKENfps gaming by design the series s targets somewhere between NUMBER_TOKENp to NUMBER_TOKENpNUMBER_TOKEN to allow for one less power consumption two housed in a way smaller chassis and third and best of all it is available at a more affordable price point at NUMBER_TOKEN dollars now if we stop the argument here the xbox series s is certainly more affordable than its higher end brothers but it's not exactly enticing in the scheme of NUMBER_TOKENk next gen gaming i mean sure it might be a whole NUMBER_TOKEN cheaper than both the xbox series x and the disc version of the psNUMBER_TOKEN but sony also competitively priced its digital version of the psNUMBER_TOKEN at only NUMBER_TOKEN more than the series s retailing at four hundred dollars but while little timmy is groaning about his NUMBER_TOKEN paperweight that's sitting in his bedroom when mom could have just forked over an extra benjamin we don't exactly live in a vacuum not only is the psNUMBER_TOKEN difficult to purchase at retail for reasonable prices but the cheapest psNUMBER_TOKEN is by far the hardest one to find and is basically just as expensive as the disc version at markup on average we are talking a whole NUMBER_TOKEN difference between the readily available series s versus both versions of the psNUMBER_TOKEN and even the xbox series x but then this begs the question are you really getting NUMBER_TOKEN more console in the series x and the psNUMBER_TOKEN compared to that series s but before i get to the meat and potatoes of that question please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting that bell icon to get notified on when i upload videos not only does it help us fight the youtube algorithm but it also lets my boss know that i'm actually working and not using an xbox video to justify buying myself a xbox series s i love you too while the series s might not
