I admit I'm a bit confused about Microsoft's strategy here. So they're releasing two Xboxes at the same time: series X and series S, with the S positioned as the less powerful version of the X, with the promise that it can pl

This is a difficult question to quantify for me. "Few people" could be interpreted differently, and it depends on where you are. E.g. around the circle of people I know, I might be in the minority, but there is likely to be a nich
