Before people start putting this console down, I have both the Series S and Series X, each on an LG C1 OLED (55" and 65" respectively), and the S is a super capable console. You will need to replace the included HDMI with an ultra high speed HDMI to achieve 4k@120hz(yes upscaled but handled extremely well), and it does come with a smaller SSD, but from pure graphics and performance, I can't tell a single difference between them while playing Forza Horizon 4. So those on the fence and who are frustrated at the lack of X availability, just buy the S and enjoy the next gen until Xbox can get their supply chain issues under control.

Series S does not support 4k.

Yup, and I still can't tell the difference because it upscales extremely well.

It does, upscaled. I challenge you to detect the difference on any game currently available.

I'll mirror this. For most games, I don't notice a difference. The only thing that I notice is having to manage the games on the SSD more. Flight Simulator is the only one I noticed a real difference on in terms of visuals but it still looks really good. The S is fast and the footprint is so small.

I guess if you consider Not 4k to be 4k you are correct.
But no, upscaleing is not 4k.

It becomes 4k. This is exactly the same as when CNN upscales an actual event with information that didn't exist but could have existed. It could be true, so it's the truth. Upscaled truth LMAO

Flight Simulator on Xbox at all is an amazing feat.

Wrong. Our Costco store has dozens, for example. No one wants the S. Locally our Target, Costco, and Best Buy all have them in stock, sitting there, barely moving.

Even little kids know. At Costco when I was there, some kid excitedly ran up to grab a tag before realizing it was for the S, not the X, then put it back and told his dad "we don't want that one."

Made me proud to know the next generation will be all right.
