Should put this whole issue to rest (for a while, at least 😉).

      Most popular Xbox this generation, as opposed to… the second most popular Xbox this generation?

        The point being it’s hardly a mistake if most are buying it over the X.

          Is that because people actually want an S… or because they settled because they couldn’t find an X? Everywhere I go there’s tons of S’s available and almost no X’s available. Obviously anecdotal, but maybe it’s not so much buying it over the X as buying it because the X just isn’t in reach… either because of price (though if you can’t afford a hundred dollars extra for a console… you can’t really afford the console at all, and you’re just justifying it to yourself) or because of lack of availability in general.

            Just a note, it’s not $100 difference. It’s $200 difference ($300 vs $500). Having said that, the only reason I got the SS was because I couldn’t get the SX. I tried and failed. I would have preferred a $400 digital version of the SX even. Settled for the SS. Had to get an SSD expansion card, feature parity is apparently not a thing, had to rebuy a couple games digitally.

          So, does that mean the X was a mistake since the S has more sales? What is your point

            No it means there’s clearly more demand for the S. My point is you claiming it was a mistake could not have been any less accurate.

              I never said it was a mistake? I’m just saying what you said was meaningless…

              The dreamcast is the most popular SEGA console of its generation. A raging success!
