Not a primary concern, at least. Someone looking to play Fable, Forza, and Ori now has 3 options (Series S, Series X, and PC), and all of them support Game Pass as well. It's hard to predict what the average console gamer is willing to spend. Sales of the Series Twins will be good indicator.

No conditions outside of budget limitations.
If 1 in a 100 people get one, there's no point in owning one for 99% of those people (not implying that will be the actual ratio of XSS/XSX to PS5 hardware sales). When someone says "no point in owning one", they don't mean literally no one will buy it lol. It's a figure of speech, and they're obviously referring to the majority.
You'll have to break the Xbox Series X's stand if you want to take it off
It’s a permanent fixture Jordan wrote about a PlayStation 5 box art .jpg earlier today and included the sentiment “File...
Oh wow, that alone makes the Series X the ugliest console of the bunch for anyone looking to place it in horizontal orientation.
The console is also designed to be placed horizontally. It otherwise wouldn't have had rubber feet to accommodate that orientation. Had I got one, I'd most certainly have placed it horizontally. Luckily, there's no point in me owning one lol.
The non removable stand as opposed to those rubber feet, and the cooling solution, as well as all the marketing material, are clear indicators that it was designed for vertical orientation. Anyone who is really struggling to place it that way, can place it horizontally. But a fantastic looking vertical orientation is still better than the competitors duck face console which looks ugly in all orientations lol
lol the far more stable way of placing the console in an entertainment center doesn't require a stand. PS5 is the only console I know of that needs a stand in its horizontal orientation due to the uneven surface of its blades.
Series S might be at a risk if placed vertical but not the Series X.
Which makes it a poor design. Its frankly one of the ugliest Ive ever seen. Looks likr one of those cheap concept renders that actually somehow was made final lol
And yet, it comes plastered with a vertical stand while the Series S doesn't
One console has a removable stand. The other doesn't. Are you sure you don't have it the other way around? lol
Series S is quite small and not as powerful so doesnt need as comprehensive a cooling solution as Series X. The bottom clearance on X aids with airflow too. Not a good idea to keep that blocked.And yet, it comes plastered with a vertical stand while the Series S doesn't
No. PS5 vertically isn't going to be the most stable console with or without a stand. It's gigantic and dimensions are not suited for it. Even with all these factors, it has to throttle to maintain temps. Not a good design.
There's bottom clearance on the X? There's a stand blocking that end. I don't think there' a vent there.
Where did you get that from? lol the PS5 CPU/GPU don't throttle based on temps. No console has ever done that.
why exactly is this an SS moment ?
Official prices for both consoles in KSA.
XSX = SR.2299 = ~US$612.90 = ~Rs. 102,042.09
XSS = SR.1349 = ~US$359.63 = ~Rs. 59,875.94
I expected such prices in Saudi Riyals.
Clearance is the gap between the surface you place it on and the Series X (created by the stand).
I didn't say "based on temps".
Even so, the same could've been achieved via rubber feet. If the console is stable enough in the vertical orientation as you say it is, why go with the stand?
What you said and what you quoted are different things, though. The power ceiling is set in stone based on the tested thermal limits. It doesn't need to maintain temps, because the power ceiling is never crossed. Developers have access to multiple profiles that they can switch between based on the kind of CPU/GPU usage.
