Now hold on. There are reasons to enjoy the S better than the X. It's smaller and nicer looking, say, in a minimalistic setting/home. It's easier to port around/you can get a handy little screen for it and it becomes very portable compared to the X. It's cheaper, and if you're on a budget, that can mean an extra controller you weren't going to be able to pick up for another good while.

Aaaand those are all of the reasons I can think of.
Personally, I'd just save up/mow, like, six yards, and buy the X. But I'm also never satisfied/am always scrambling to fill the hole in my soul with "better" and "best", rather than settling for the bare minimum, and being happy with the experiences and joy it can bring me.

There can be joy and freedom in choosing "less" for one's self.
Add that to the list of possible reasonings.
