I finally took the plunge and joined the Xbox One/PS4 generation of consoles. I was kind of a lapsed gamer, only occasionally playing Nintendo games on Wii U/3DS since getting rid of my PS3 and 360. Though I own a Nintendo Switch now, the past couple years I generally wasn't interested in joining this gen of consoles. After Picking up a 4K TV, I started to consider purchasing a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. However, when I came across the One S for $190, I couldn't ignore this deal for the "lesser" version between the S and X consoles. The console itself looks good. I don't care much for white, but it works, and my Nintendo Switch looks good on top of it. The controller feels great. Though, the d-pad feels stiff and slightly awkward in positioning. Setup for this console is as simple as can be if anyone is intimidated by electronics. Not much else to add here, so what about performance... I don't have much to compare this system against, so the S holds up really well on its own merits. The games I have played run well and look good. I really enjoyed playing Cuphead but noticed minor technical issues--not sure if it's the optimization of the game or the hardware itself. The only slight gripe I have is the dashboard. It seems to be a bit more than the S model can handle and is not always the smoothest experience while navigating--I assume the One X handles the dash smoothly but I don't know. Now that I've had a few weeks with the console, I'm really glad I decided to go with the S instead of the $500 X. It's not to say I won't upgrade to the X in the near future, but I think this will tide me over until Xbox releases its next console or the X receives a price drop.
