Xbox Series X Vs Xbox Series S: 3 Years Later! (Which Is Better?) 

Which Console would you pick and why?

I'm one of the extremely rare people who own both a Series X and S. The reason being I'm a long haul truck driver. I have the X in my home entertainment center and the S in my mobile entertainment center. I got tired of moving my X to and from the truck, so I said screw it and bought a black 1 TB Series S to keep in the truck. I discovered an added bonus for the S, it uses less power than the X. It's not even noticable at home, but very noticable when you're running your entertainment center from a power inverter.

Great job. You made up my mind to get series S. I like the fact you don't have tons of horrible music playing. You are smart, articulate, and well prepared. You seem almost professional, and that quality is all but gone in this country, so thx and never give up. You helped me.

I think we’re average gamers the series s is great but for those who play a lot and like good performance, the series X is a good choice

Thanks for your review! I am a senior getting into gaming for mind stimulation, I am going for the X serries.

Most excellent video man! Just bought my first Xbox Series, and it's an S. I don't have a 4K TV, so I wouldn't ever be able to take full advantage of the Series X anyway. Game Pass is definitely a no-brainer, GET IT!! So yeah, the "S" is a great option for a casual gamer with a regular 55-inch flat screen that wants to play all the greatest new games!

Great review, realistics end answers too, i related to the question and the answer, job done. brilliant!

Series S is what I have and i love it, cant ask for anything better, especially for its 300 dollar price point. I care nothing about 4k output, 1440p is more than enough, the loading speed is super fast, its not overly big, perfect console for the next gen Era IMO. Also, 30fps, 60fps, 120fps, I care nothing about. I enjoy 30fps very much, it's closer to real movement, 60 and 120fps are great, don't get me wrong, but I'm good with any of them💯👈 update, I bought a PS5 Spiderman 2 bundle 😬 couldn't help it, I have to have both.

Thank you very much for your presentation! 💕 I've been considering which console to buy for my house since my Grandson has Xbox S at home. I think you've convinced me to go with Xbox X, then I can purchase an Expansion card to allow him to plug it into either console to play his 'digital' games + we can still play the 'disc' games we have from Xbox 360 & Xbox 1. THANKS ❣️❣️❣️

Maybe the best video out there on this matter! You helped me decide! I never opened an xbox but since hellblade ii came out i want so much to play it ! So i cane to your video to help me decide! And you helped me so kuch thank you!

Very great video on the comparisons. Great content.

Great video man, much appreciated.

thanx for this review, Naseem. i have the series s but ive started wondering am i really missing out on the 4k. also, i have alot of call of duty titles on disc i cant play, now. also a HUGE disappointment is i since then purchased a second copy, (digital,) of my 3 favorite titles (black ops 1, 2, & 3) and on my series s theyre so grainy/blurry theyre basically unplayable. if you have any digital versions of black ops 1, 2, 3, would you mind reviewing one of them on each console to see if there is a difference in clarity. like, i dont remember these games being so blurry back in the day. is it because im on the series s? also i use a 1080p monitor. i do have a "4k" monitor but its 55' and im told i get motion blur because its too big a screen for gaming so i still use the smaller 43' samsung. i stream call of duty (non toxic) likw 10 hrs every day i get bored with the same maps so you can see why im upset i wasted my money trying to stream retro cod. i really hope you have time to review playing backwards compatible titles on each console. if you do it might make a good video because i havent seen anyone do it. im going to subscribe either way with noti's on. if you made it this far, thanks for taking the time.

Bro good video Bruda I've been an Xbox guy with all my life. Starting from the original Xbox than the Xbox 360. Now the Xbox One X and now the Xbox Series X the final masterpiece. YA its pricey but well worth it like alot of my old game and would Love to see them under a new platform.

Best review yet bro 🤛🏾Been a lifer and the bc is reason enough to stay here. Thinking X for disc drive thx 👍🏾

Does it run games at constant 60 fps.. like Forza and GTA ... Warzone .. should I buy it I have a really tight budget

Thanks bro great video and helped me make uo my mind. I'm going with the S

so im selling my ps4 to get a xbox s or x for budget issue im haven't 4k monitor have tv but my personal room and my monitor is 1440p also storage and my main 5 games must be on discs.. so what's the option here ... addition to this whats the different price range between this two devices?

Nice review and comparison

I got a mint condition series s with original box and everything included for $170 I already have a ps5 but I wanted to be able to use the xbox ecosystem it was such a great way to access that.

Thank you. Nice vid!

Great comparison. I'm going to go with the X series because I want the extra power and resolution. I also have have a classic dvd collection i like to watch like robocop, terminator 2, etc plus I'm old school too i guess because i like to have hard copies of games to collect

I’m one of the average gamers and I only play sports games and maybe a car game here and there like Forza 5 . I play everyday but I’m not good enough to beat anyone in sports games even though I know the sport better than most people I’d play I still get beaten by the 2nd quarter. I do still appreciate good graphics and new and better technology. I’m buying the X in a couple of days and I can’t wait to play my WWE ,NBA,THE SHOW, of course Madden!! Great video and thanks for the info you answered all of my questions thanks!!

Perfect video my guy❤

I went with the Xbox X 1 terabyte...I will let everyone know how it performed over the Christmas holidays... cheers to you!!!

Really well explained 🙂

In my opinion invest into the future. The money saved in XBox S now, may be more expensive than spending some more in XBox X in zwo or 3 Years from now.

I think both are fine but I don't care how good a game looks long as I can play it, I wanna get an Series S cause its cheaper and I wanna finally get into the Halo Games and Sunset Overdrive been wanting to play those games for years

Loving that tune at the beginning and end! I was totally expecting Ghostface or ODB to kick in 😁😎

3:26 what’s that background called and how can I get it?

Is there any value in getting either if I already have a PS5 and a Steamdeck?

What are significant advantages of x over s besides graphics and storage?

and i may buy 2-3 games for lifetime and also considering a game pass. So instead of going for Xbox X or PS5 i can get all those with xbox s but my question is am i going to miss anything if im opting S instead of X and Ps5 ?. Games that i like to play are World war z, Tekken 8, mortal combat, GTA 5, Batman Arkham Knight, spiderman etc

Thank you brother ✌️

Good info. New to games after a 30 year break. I’m going with the S to play world of warships.

Does anybody know what that thing is that shows the football teams on his desk? And where I can get it!

Series x is obviously better but series s is the best deal for the price. Only $250-$300 for a 120 fps gaming console is insane

Had my series s since it launched, been brilliant for what I’ve wanted it for, however I’ve literally just bought the series x as an upgrade so we will see how that goes and if there’s much difference once it arrives. I did consider the PS5 but I just can’t bring myself to get one as I’ve been Xbox since the very first console and I haven’t looked back!

Thanks for this Ive been thinking about getting one probably gonna get the X

probably getting the series s. i'm a laptop gamer and i wanted to upgrade my gaming experience so i'm going to build a gaming set up, revamp my room, get a pc and monitor, then an xbox and a tv hopefully in the next year

Good video bro

If I don’t have a blue-ray player and want one, no-brainer is to get the X rather than the series S and blue-ray? Just curios.

What game was that at 3:20 - 3:25 ?

I'm planning to buy Xbox Series S coz of Game Pass. It made gaming really affordable. I was planning to go for pc where piracy is possible but I thought that's kinda illegal and not fair so I have decided to buy Series S.

Insightful

Does it make a difference on graphics if you don’t have a 4k tv?

Cowboys helmet on desk looks nice. Subscribed

This whole video- and I aint seen Left 4 Dead 1 or 2 in your game list LOL :)

So if I only have 1080p TVs and monitors, is that reason enough to go for the S? What about framerate and graphics quality besides resolution? As for storage, the leaked new version of the S should have 1TB so that should be better...

I want to get a Xbox just to play fight night champion.so I should definitely go with the S?

Can anyone tell what’s the boxing game called ? 6.07 TIA

I’m wanting to buy a new Xbox (I had a 360 slim before) but I want to play my games with both physically and digitally so I should get the Xbox series X (which I believe is the black one) and how what storage sizes are there because I want to get the highest one possible.

I'm not a console player, I used to have a 360, Skate 3 was my fave game on it, apart from a couple of assassins creeds, the banjo kazooie the console came with and minecraft, every other game I had was a pirated disc, I never connected the console to wifi, I never played any multiplayers on it. I've been thinking of getting a new series xbox for 3 reasons, playing skate 3, getting a new-gen controller over my cabled 360 controller, and maybe checking out some gamepass titles. Now since I'm guessing pirated discs probs won't work with he new disc reader on the SeriesX, and since my copy of Skate 3 was pirated, and since I'll be prominently connecting the console to my computer monitor over a full flatscreen.. maybe getting the SeriesS is a wiser choice? I'm not sure...

Someone please help, how do I get the always changing background❗️ mine started with my old Xbox background

Heads up! Just saw series x going for $350 so the price differential is closer than ever

I have a xbox one but i want to buy a xbox series s. Can i play my xbox one games on the s ?

Just bought the Series S 1 TB console and I can't be more excited for it to arrive. It's enough for me as a casual gamer to serve as a starting point plus my TV cannot even use the full potential of the Series X had I decided to buy that one. The X is powerful, yes, but if you don't have monitors/TVs that can extract its full power and performance, better to stick with the S.

I bought the x for the drive so i can play the old 360 games you can get the discs for pennies but the digital is. Nearly full price

Which one should I get if I play in monitor?

is it worth it if i got the x for 350?

My issue is how vague Microsoft has been about the S. Sometimes I'll see something about how the S is gonna disappear, then later Microsoft makes a 1TB version of it. Why would they do that if they were gonna ditch it? Then the opinions of absolute nerds who make everything about the numbers, hard to tell what to do here. I want new gen, but I don't want a bunch of absolute nerds spewing out nunbers and parts at me. I'll just buy the S and tell everyone to suck it lol

I've grown up with playstation and nintendo for the most part, but I'm actually going to get the series s for Christmas, and thats what is enough for me, I'm going to drop my jaw when i first enter the world of the next gen, I don't care if it's less powerful than the series x or the ps5, it's fairly cheap and totally worth the money, especially with the game pass!

Xbox series s black series review next

If you care about absolute performance and resolution amd prefer physical media then get the seris x. If you just care about playing games not worrying about resolution and performance then get the series s. If you travel then get both. You can use the X as your home console and use the S as your travel console. Either way up to you

Do they both get 120 frames?

The sad thing is the series s got on the new games some problems 👀 i mean on Remnant 2 with the new dlc the game crashes and on the beta from the first descendant the game crashed a loot and some people say that ark got a delay because of the series s 👀 i mean i have the series s but i go and buy a x now 👀

PC is my main, wanted a console for family stuff and man its great. S all the way. I did have to het that storage expansion tho so heads up that. It says 500GB but its actually only like 350GB when you got it all set up.

thx for this info. Getting the X for sure

Is series s next gen like the series x?

I got a series s as a second console. It’s small compact plays all the Xbox games connects to gamepass and was cheap. I got the console brand new for £99 that’s crazy. Next gen system last gen price. Features like quick resume are the best if you want a quick game without all the loading screens. Whisper quiet to run and uses around half the electricity of similar systems such as ps5 or series x so it’s cost savings continue after purchase.

As someone with a ps5 I really don't see the point in spending another $500 on a console so the Series S is the way to go in this case

I have a feeling that at some point Microsoft will drop parity requirements between the two systems in order to increase the life span of the series X. When the X Box 360 launched, developers couldn’t require a hard drive install for games which ended up hurting their competition with Sony who had a lot more disc space to work with. When Microsoft released the 250 gig model and started allowing developers to require an install, games were able to be produced that went beyond what the system was originally capable of. You see this with games like Battlefield 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5.

if i play on a 144hz monitor what xbox should i buy ?

How you gonna use some ninja turtle game from 04to show how good it looks 😂

Just got the S its more then enough 🎉!

Well obviously Xbox series X is better but the Xbox series s is cheap if you don't want to pay a bunch of money and it's 1440p graphics and it can get 80 to 100 fps on call of duty warzone and on some other games or even if you're a ps5 user just looking to get into Xbox easy choice to get an Xbox series s and buy game pass but i bought an Xbox series X because it's a better choice in my opinion but it's more expensive I'd recommend the Xbox series s black edition for the 1tb memory

Im getting a 6 month old X from a friend with only 20 hours of play on it for the price of an S. System and an extra controller for $375. I think thats an amazing deal and im happy to be getting it.

I have a Xbox one s so I have to upgrade for gulf war and gta 6 coming next year so I’m getting one and I just waiting for a good game to come out

Honestly after owning both I recommend the Series X. The X is on sale for 350$ rn which is 50$ more than the Series S. And for 50$ more, your getting better load times, better visuals and over all better performance. Also it comes with more storage. That 500gb series S was not it. I downloaded 3 games and filled my storage as it only has 300gb out of the box. Compared to the 800gb out of the box for the series X

Honestly, Ive had the Xbox Series S for 3 years and I have to say that its well worth the price for 300 bucks! Especially now owning a MSI 1440p resolution gaming monitor with a great IPS Rapid panel, not sure why some people " Oh you don't own the games when you buy them digital" how would you not own games if you BOUGHT the game?? That wouldn't make any sense so the Series S is just an insane small machine with great power and technology it has built in. Games will always play amazing on the Series S, people just get way too negative or over hype 4k content which is why I think 1440p content is not also amazing but very underrated. Xbox Series S for the win for great power and portability!

Dude. Advice. Dont use a pixel art game to show case the difference in graphical fidelity.

Can't decide which one all I play is C.O.D and Madden I travel for work so smaller size points me toward S but I'm 38 n never not had a non disc consol

Which one will support gta vi?

Xss for now then upgrade next year

Everyone hating on Xbox over PlayStation y’all won’t have games to play in a year enjoy it while you can 😂

thanks

Which is better? Is that a serious question?

Idk why people worry about storage space when you can get the Xbox ssd card lmao same shit

I have an Xbox series x but want to pull the trigger on the ps5 that’s on my kart

Looks like a high will go for the Xbox S, I don't have 2020 vision, far from it, so I certainly wouldn't notice the difference the X provides

On what one

4K is a gimmick. Average person sits 6 feet away from their tv. You will not notice the difference from 1080p to 4k at that distance.

I would say if you have the chance to get Series X, get it, since remember there's always gonna be a new console every 10 or so years, so if you have the "better" console for that Generation, the better is for you for later releases

I'm definitely about the Series X but i am enjoying my Black Series S. I do like how small it is.

Think of it this way!! Whatever console you buy, you will be paying exactly the same amount for games. So, why to pay same for a graphically inferior experience? I would recommend X over S for this reason. Series S is a great bargain for a secondary console.

I have them both. Storage reasons.

I bought Sefies S new one for 200€ and 2 TB extra storage 100€. SO, for 300€ I got new gen console for more than double storage than Series X has. Definietly good deal. I love white colour more and its so light and tiny so I can easily take it to the friends house. I have my Xbox One S still like a new, keeping it for owned xbox360 and One physical games but my digital library is over all bigger than my disc collection. For new gen consoles I would not buy physical games anymore anyhow because code in the disc is not same as game in the disc "stick the game in and play" . U need to go through same downloading process and the game takes same storage room from your hard drive than if u buy the code without disc and download it. so disc is pretty useless nowdays.

I have the same hat!

I will get the Xbox Series S Carbon Black, bc is the same as Series S but it has that 1TB so yeah

Im thinking about selling my series s and getting the x especially since it’s on sale for 449 and I get a $75 gift card included with it
