I also feel like it's a different proposition than the Xbox X and S because the S is just so cheap it's almost in a different market.
Agreed. I guess it's healthy that people have so much choice now. Switch, Game Pass, PS5 etc offer so many different ways to get into gaming at so many different price points. Consumer win.

One thing that surprises me is the gaming industry is huge these days, estimated $160bn this year with esports worth another billion. Yet studios seems to be constantly closing and restructuring, esports tournaments seem to be organised on a shoe string and the only person making any money out of it is EA and Ubisoft.

It's definitely tricky, I wouldn't want to be the person in charge of making the call of how many of each to manufacture. Digital edition consoles are still unproven ground, the Xbox One All-Digital has been about for what a year, and now it's discontinued. I would bet on people wanting the disc version over digital any day but the $100 discount will definitely tempt some. I also feel like it's a different proposition than the Xbox X and S because the S is just so cheap it's almost in a different market.
