Any game you purchase for digital only is tied in to your Xbox Live account, so it should be yours for life. I've got a couple of games I downloaded on my Xbox One that I purchased for my Xbox 360 over 10 years ago! 
so if you were to give your Xbox to your kids, provided they log in with your account those games are still available to them. You just can't transfer them to another account as far as I'm aware.
You don't have to use the same account, just the same console. I have my older One upstairs with a backup account, and it's possible to play the same game simultaneously using both accounts. so if you were to give your Xbox to your kids, provided they log in with your account those games are still available to them.

So the series S will be the casual gamer setup where you have no hard copy games only digital - so if you sell the console does that mean it’s just the console or will all the games you’ve bought be then transferred to the new owner.
The games would be on your Xbox Live accountIf so the Xbox series X is the one to go for.

I've just read on a US site that its
$299 for the S, $499 for the X
OR
$25/mo for the S (with all access) and $35 for the X (with all access)
So that's like a phone contract. Monthly fee to cover the box and access to the xbox live service (presumably). To me, that seems like one to avoid. A year of $25/mo and you've nearly bought the console. I'd hazard a guess that the monthlies don't come down once you have paid it off! Then again, I don't know how much xbox live is a month.
I dunno. Not something I'd do. It's just another thing to add onto the "monthlies" or "never-never" pile. But the comments section was massively excited at this prospect. Not for me I must say.

It seems that the $25 will cover console, live access but also game pass access.
Which if you only play one or two games (like I do) will be pretty expensive
But if you want to play lots of different games the inclusion of game pass (and i assume ongoing expansion of it) could turn out to be quite a decent deal.

It must be a 2 year deal and then you keep it / or three. Which if you only play one or two games (like I do) will be pretty expensive

Bargain I reckon....At some point next year when some proper AAA games are out.
Actually that’s unfair it’s a bargain whatever. Considering an iPhone costs £1000 these days.
£449 for native 4K 60fps gaming is amazing

Game Pass is already a complete bargain, especially seeing as that thanks to reward points and intro offers, it's costs me £1 for the last 3 months
I stacked all my live and the old game pass when ultimate first came out and I don’t have to pay for it until Oct 2021phil-sti said:
