Last November I bought my son an Xbox Series S for his birthday. I also immediately felt jealousy because I wanted it for myself. Not enough to give him my Xbox Series X, but still. The Series S is an incredible little thing, and to my mind, perfects why you'd want to game on a console. It's small, it looks good in a home entertainment center, it's fairly affordable and it's backed up by the power of the Xbox ecosystem.
Sure, it's nowhere near as powerful as the Series X, but that's missing the point entirely. Consoles have never been as powerful as gaming PCs, but they have so many other benefits. The only thing I could ever fault the Xbox Series S on was its 512GB storage. It's just not enough, not even close.
