Xbox boss Phil Spencer discussed a whole bunch of topics on the latest Major Nelson podcast, and one of the things he admitted is that he actually spent a lot of time playing his Xbox Series S in work meetings in 2020!
Asked about what type of TV or monitor he's playing on - with Major Nelson's belief that it was probably something massive - Spencer admitted that he actually spends most of his time using his PC monitor.
"The thing I've been playing on a ton, it's literally on this PC - I have a Series S plugged into my computer monitor on the other HDMI, and when I'm working, don't tell Satya [Nadella, Microsoft CEO], but there are many times when I'll just flip over and I'll be sitting on the Microsoft Teams call and I'm playing with my Series S!"
Spencer went on to note that he keeps his Xbox Series X downstairs, but he uses his Xbox Series S a lot, and praised the console's impressive performance, as well as pointing out how proud he was of the team that created it.
"I have the Series X downstairs that I'll go play, but this Series S right here is getting a ton of time, and I'm really, really proud of the way that console came about... it's really performed well."

In Phil we trust..
Got a Series X and PS5 for downstairs, and will probably pick a Series S up next year at some point to replace the One S in my bedroom.
Nice bit of kit for £250 when you consider the Nintendo Switch is still going for £280?!

Dang it.....you beat me to it! Haha
The guy probably has one of the best exec jobs in the world.
I've been enjoying it.......in my head. Dang scalpers. Can't wait until I can buy it physically and not online.
That’s why I like Phil, he believes in and actually personally uses his products. A big praise for the Series S indeed. It is a good console, you can spend the money for the storage expansion card and yes it’s nearly as much as a Series X, but it’s also much smaller and then has 1.5 TB of fast SSD storage.
I love that Phil plays xbox and PlayStation for real. Satouru Iwata did. Shu Yoshida of PS does. Even Furukawa of Nintendo owns a switch and it least plays some indie games even before he got the job, though he's otherwise a pure business bean counter. Jim Ryan of PS on the other hand.... I sincerely doubt he's ever owned a PlayStation let alone an Xbox. And doubtfully knows where triangle and L2 are. To me that disconnect from leadership shows in how the product is handled. PS does many great things, but it does it in spite of him, not because if him... And he has a Knack (heh) for getting rid of the people that do.
I have a Series X/PS5 downstairs and just picked up a Series S for my bedroom TV and it’s a great little console. I think it will sell well as a second console to PS/Nintendo primaries or anyone without a 4K TV.
