Question: Should a refurbished Xbox Series S outlast an Xbox One X that was new and first...

Hello, thomasseymour18901. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

The Xbox Series S is a newer generation console. It has a newer hardware and since it is refurbished, it is working just as a new one. The Xbox One X is not a bad console, but it is from an older generation and has older parts from the hardware. So in my opinion, a refurbished Series S is worth a little more than an used Xbox One X.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

There's no way to refurbish a One into a Series S/X. Are you sure it's not just a One S or One X? Those are not the same thing.

If you go the route of sending your console to Microsoft, they will send you back a refurbished console.

Look at the prices on the link that was provided and work out if it's worth paying the money that Microsoft are asking for them to send you a refurbished console or go for a new Xbox Series S or X.

Well first there is no series s with a bluray drive

Xbox one s does and that isn't a series s

Xbox one games are compatible with xbox one games whenever it is one x or s

Series consoles are just xbox series NOT one s or x

They labeled series consoles that way for a reason to differentiate xbox one games from series games

There are too many variables. How was that Series S treated? Electronics have parts that can fail from age, so new old stock doesn’t mean anything in terms of longevity.

I would get a Series S because it has the most longevity that matters- new software availability.
