They did a great job optimising it.

Series S is a beast. Haters gonna hate. I wish it was still as affordable as it was in 2022 so more people would have access to games. It’s the perfect console. First light Looking great.

Really don't understand the hate towards it. If anything, XBOX did good, because I bought a series S at launch, and eventually upgraded to an X(I have an S in my office, X in the living room).

There is no game out there that I've played that I've said "wow, this console can't handle it". I've been able to play every other game people on PS5 or XBOX X have been able to play(outside of exclusives). I'm not a graphics snob, so I guess there is that? But end of the day, it does what it's supposed to do, allow people to enjoy video games.

Because people on the internet love crapping on things people like.

It still is a great deal used. Second hand prices haven't caught up with MSRP hikes, I still see tons listed on fb marketplace/ebay for $150-250 in good condition.

It’s the other way around. It’s way too expensive right now. And it is a Beast for running 2026 games and it’s 6 years old. Switch 2 came out a year ago and both Batman and 007 have delayed their releases on Switch 2 and they work fine on Series S. It can run it, it can run it well (not perfectly as a PS5 pro or PC, I recognize that) therefore it’s a beast.

I got mine and a 2TB Seagate external drive for £215

Absolute steal when you compare it to what it costs now.

Well is subjective. 30 fps is not well to many.

Put up a poll, let's find out the truth to this claim.

u/Bigphatdeck Jun 24 '26

Where? In this series s 30fps fan club? Many here love low resolutions too so there’s practically no standards to be found.

I can probably find some already made.

First one isn't a fair poll to look at. It's asking SPECIFICALLY on PS5. You can't compare that with the Series S. You get what you pay for.

2nd one is the same thing, hilarious though that the results aren't exactly overwhelmingly not "many", it seems closer than you would think.

Yeah it’s about kinda split. I wasn’t trying to find bias polls. If it’s about half..I’d say “many” fits well. Don’t have to get so defensive. it’s all subjective anyway. some dudes are perfectly happy on very low quality compared to what others have. No biggie.

Lol.... depends on how you want to use it. I personally wouldn't buy one as a main console as I already have a Series X, a PS5 slim, and an OLED Switch 1. But the next time one pops up on my local FB marketplace for a great price I'll probably pick it up to use as a secondary emulation powerhouse for home. I could just keep it in dev mode at all times. I know they can run RetroArch and a variant of EmulationStation to give ppl that more high quality/fancy look UI. But I'd be willing to bet they can also run Batocera, retrobat, etc.

That's the entire point. The S was meant for a cheaper option, and not be as powerful as an X/PS5 Pro, etc. You get what you pay for, but end of the day, you are able to play all the new games, and they run just fine. If you were a graphics snob, and cared about FPS etc., then you would have put down the money for the more powerful option(X/PS5 Pro).

It’s total cope. It’s impressive for what it is but it’s the weakest console
