I would have expected demand to pick up since it's the only reliable way to get a next gen console. Especially as people get sick of waiting.the problem with the series S is it isn't entirely a 'next gen' console. kind of yes but also kind of no. sony was right,.. most people don't want to plop down a bunch of money and get the inferior product.
Instead it doesn't seem to be helping much.
I wonder how much of it is that people are just wanting the Series X and how much people just want to get the same thing their friends are getting.
Seems Sony expects it to be the case
if ps5 remains impossible to find and series x is available i'll bet a lot of prospective ps5 buyers would get a series x as "only reliable way to get a next gen console" but not a series s. series s will only sell to those that actually want a series s. it's not a viable alternative to a series x or ps5.
and yes,.. friends >>>>> other things. soo much of gaming is a online social experience these days. buying the opposite console as your friends makes absolutely no sense at all. matters more than cost, individual games, QoL features, ect. peer pressure and the FOMO is a much more powerful motivator.
