Gaming consoles once stood out for one simple reason: they let you get into gaming quickly and affordably.
It’s tough seeing that benefit fade away right before our eyes.
So take good care of your current devices — chances are, you’ll be with them for the foreseeable future.
In hindsight, Xbox Series S at $299 looks like the best deal for a console launch ever; a device that'll play Gears of War: E-Day, Grand Theft Auto VI or Fable.
It's kind of crazy how far we've drifted from these price points today.

Tech tubers glazing this but hating the Xbox Series S kinda says it all about how important accumulated brand good will is.
Microsoft corpo actively makes consumers hate them with their persistent shitty behavior. It undermines the good work their teams are doing on the ground.
