Xbox Series X/S Are the Fastest Selling Xbox Consoles Ever, Microsoft CEO Says

That pace of sales has persisted well past its launch. During Microsoft’s recent quarterly earnings call (via Tom Warren on Twitter), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that the Xbox Series X

The first Code S semifinal match has been locked in, with Dream and Rogue set to clash after advancing from day one of the quarterfinals.Dream took a 3-0 sweep over Bunny in the first quarterfinal, leaning heavily on the Proxy-Barracks Reaper cheeses that served him well in his RO16 matches against Cure. According to Dream, it was a second-layer mindgame—after he used such strategies in the RO16, certainly Bunny wouldn't expect him to use them again?
