Is anyone here using the xbox series s? Is it worth buying currently? I read a lot of articles about the series s being weak and not performing well.. Recently they released a 1tb version of the series s and that has gotten me interested in it.

Also I am a little hesitant about buying an xbox again bcs I had two xbox one's (Original fat + one s) die on me over the past few years. Both ended up with the same issues where you click the power button to turn on the console but it beeps and then shuts off in a second without powering on.

I'm using an S while my X is off for repair - it's struggling with some things quite a bit (really doesn't like Borderlands 3) but it's been great with older titles and things that have smart delivery like Sleeping Dogs remaster, Riders Republic, Battlefront 2.

Titles such as Overwatch and Sea of Thieves run fine but look appreciably worse than they did on the X.

It's also working perfectly fine as a media machine.

It's doing enough to keep me entertained but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the X.

Hope that helps!

ETA: Haven't had any problems with the hardware breaking since the 360 era (which was VERY bad) - current problem with the X was caused by a literal lightning strike so overall that is still the case.
