Except the storage choices don't make sense. Storage is extremely cheap right now, the base should be at least 512GB, yet we have to pay premium to get a reasonable amount of space.

how many people actually use their space? really use it. not just use a quarter of it and keep the rest in reserve.

my phone has 256gb right now. 150gb are free. (cloud storage doing its part.) that’s two large games and 40gb+ to spare. so as much as a larger capacity would allow for more, this is still… fine.

They'd use it a lot more if they were regularly downloading 40GB+ games to it. One of the biggest criticisms of the $300 Xbox Series S is that it only has ~350 GB free to the user. And while RE4 Remake is 40GB it is no where near the biggest. Mortal Kombat 1 is 100GB, Starfield is 100+ GB, Baldur's Gate 3 is 100GB+.
sure, but now you’re comparing apples to potatoes.
