They will be available on "most" platforms.I think a lot of people forget Elder Scrolls, Doom, Fallout, Starfield, etc will be available on Series S and not other platforms.

My point is that for $300 USD it makes a great companion console for people who don't want to miss out on Bethesda titles and/or people who want access to Game Pass.And plenty of other games will be on those "other platforms" and not on XSS. What's your point?
You do understand that being "sold out" isn't the only indication of demand right? Being sold out could be a indication of low supply or high demand, or in this a mix of both. Besides, no matter how high the demand is, if I company can't stock something they can't earn a penny on it. Seems that XSS is much easier to produce and stock and those consoles sitting on the shelves are all potential sales Vs no potential for consoles which can't be produced and stocked.
"Selling" doesn't make it the "most popular" either. Seems obvious to me that the "most popular" is the consoles everyone wants but can't find anywhere because they are the "most popular".
Every time I try to eat one.How often does your "Apple..." break that you need to bookmark a fix???
Yeah it's clear the XSS has an audience. It isn't supposed to be a product for everyone just like the XSX isn't for everyone either. It's just great that there are options for people of differing financial and performance needs. I must admit that I'm happy so many people who predicted doom for the console were so wrong though."Most Popular" is hyperbolic to be sure. However, it does show that the system has an audience. If it was viewed as a worthless product and hated by all, it wouldn't sell regardless of if stock was available or not.
I doubt anyone predicted severe supply constraints still being in effect a year on, with no major relief in sight either.
Big boys. Tiny inventories.In NA It's easily available yes.
The big boys don't make it to the shelves.
So there are like 100 XSS in the whole of Ireland?, what a beast!......j/k.
hmmm.....

I tell you what though, XSS is going to be huge this Christmas with the mix of it being widely available, and mums and Dads buying them for little Timmy.
I always wondered why Microsoft seemingly kept producing XSS stock while XSX is so hard to find, well i feel we will find out why this Christmas.
Microsoft makes more $$ per unit on XSS than XSXSo there are like 100 XSS in the whole of Ireland?, what a beast!......j/k.

I mean to be fair many of us said XSS would be big at Christmas, i mean its totally obvious, and that was before launch when we didnt know how bad supply issues would be for PS5 and XSX.Yeah and then there is the possibility that they may transition on to the Series X eventually when it becomes more available....so in a way it is quite clever, I'll give them that!
It is though.Doubtful.
Here is our local expert telling us that it's the least desirable console:
An item in stock or on a shelf is literally an unsold item. So there's clearly less demand for it. It just so happens that all other consoles are soldout much quicker.Yup so goes Ireland so goes the world right? I'd imagine the same story is told in larger markets like the US for instance?
I just wanted check once more when will the XSS be removed from the market because no one is buying it?
It being available to buy doesn't mean it isn't selling. Glad to see the multi-prong approach is working for MS. More people gaming is a good thing.
No, it was just a vocal minority. Proof.Remember when it was DoA right next to the Switch?
I think it's fair to say we here at GAF all suck at predicting things.

Less demand=/=items on the shelf.An item in stock or on a shelf is literally an unsold item. So there's clearly less demand for it. It just so happens that all other consoles are soldout much quicker.
With supply being equal, items on the shelf does mean less demand compared to a soldout item.Less demand=/=items on the shelf.
If there is less demand for it, you wont keep those items on the shelf. You keep it on the storage, and sell it online. unless its food, or house items.
Space shelf is valuable.
Doubtful.

Rykan can you please make it make sense for us please?
Though Sony's PlayStation 5, Microsoft's Xbox Series X, and Nintendo's Switch OLED models remain the most highly sought after consoles, chip shortages and high demand have rendered them nearly impossible to find.
Sold out items depend on the stock that you have.With supply being equal, items on the shelf does mean less demand compared to a soldout item.
which console will sell fast? the one with 10 stock, or the one with 50 stock?Any questions, gentlemen?
By sell fast do you mean sold out fast?which console will sell fast? the one with 10 stock, or the one with 50 stock?
By sell fast do you mean sold out fast?
If you put 50 PS5's or XSX on the shelves and 10 XSS, the PS5 & XSX will be sold out far quicker than the XSS. The demand is significantly higher.
I think you severely underestimate the demand for proper next gen console. Theres a reason both of these machines are scalpers primary target and nobody bothers to do the same for Series S.the 10 xss will sell faster. It doesnt matter what demand is there. The one with cheaper option, and lower stock will sell faster.
By the time both consoles are 40 stock sold, the xss is sold out.

And you are saying those systems won't sell then? Just because something is in stock doesn't mean it isn't selling. The original argument was that it would be discontinued. Now it's 'it' s not outselling PS5!' Pretty big distinction. Goal posts have moved.An item in stock or on a shelf is literally an unsold item. So there's clearly less demand for it. It just so happens that all other consoles are soldout much quicker.
How is it tracking against the Switch? Most popular could mean out of available options as well. Still far cry from predictions that it would be discontinued soon.
I highly doubt this report. The thing is still in stock at Walmart for goodness sakes. The PS5 sold out in just minutes. I highly doubt MS put out a shit ton of Series S. I'd wait till we got actual numbers before claiming this.
A quick check on Amazon's bestsellers of Nov shows PS5 at #9, while Series S is #25. Series X is #43.
Edit: Just checked the hourly Bestsellers on Amazon. PS5 at #28. XSX at #79. XSS at...#131.
These new Series S owners are going to have major FOMO soon …
I will not be surprised if GameStop gets a flood of these for trade in when the PS5 and Series X become more available
Doesn't this kind of prove he's right? The fact that there's enough stock means it didn't sold out immediately like XSX and PS5.Doubtful.
Here is our local expert telling us that it's the least desirable console:
Sales from 3rd party sellers is probably why it's up in the hourlies. Doesn't change the rankings for the month, regardless.checking Amazon makes no sense since it’s been out of stock since Nov 22nd. And only came in stock on Nov 21st.
When you can check hourly bestsellers on Walmart or GameStop, then you can put that forward as proof
