The Xbox Series S has been criticized for its weaker hardware, prompting some to accuse it of holding gaming back, but is it going anywhere? Probably not, as the big Xbox court document leak that occurred earlier this week has now revealed that the Xbox Series S is far more popular than the Series X, with 75% of Xbox Series owners having gone for the all-digital system instead. Mat Piscatella, Executive Director and Video Game Industry Analyst at Circana, has said that these numbers are outdated, however, claiming that Series X and Series S sales are actually quite equal based on more recent data. (The court documents figures are said to be from 2022.)
As mentioned, the % is for an earlier time period. According to Circana’s Retail Tracking Service, S accounts for a bit more than half of US Series owners LTD. X has seen improved supply and purchasing since the cited time period.
