Makes sense because the Series S is dumb cheap. Only the Steam Deck can compare in terms of value

Compete in terms of value, not price. The series S gets you Xbox's current gen game library and a selection of 360 games, and if you're willing to use dev mode a powerful emulation suite. Deck gets a huge percentage of Steam's 20-year catalog as one-click installs, most other PC games that don't use anticheat as slightly more involved installs, every PC game if you want to install windows, and also a powerful emulation suite. Plus it's a dockable handheld instead of something that needs a monitor and controller.

The series S has better media apps and can be woken up from the couch, though.

the steam deck is also just a regular ol' PC so you can use it for non-gaming stuff like making a lil' drawing on the go, or plug in some peripherals and just.. use it like an honestly pretty okay performance desktop.

I would argue that the Steam Deck's emulation capabilities surpass the Xbox. It might not play the latest games at amazing quality and performance, but it covers a wide breadth of games, far wider than what Xbox supports.

Depends on whether you're willing to spend $20 to turn your Series S into a devkit, at which point the S can be an utter beast for emulation.

Alternatively 2$ if your region is set to Turkey.
