Xbox Series S: Microsoft confirms the console and reveals its design and price

For several months they have appeared on the net rumors more and more in-depth and numerous about Xbox series s, the economic console of Microsoft products which should join its future flagship, that is Xbox Series X. Now, after a lot of chatting and like a bolt from the blue, the Redmond company has finally revealed to the world the look and the price of Xbox Series S, officially confirming it and putting an end to this very long sequence of leaks. As you can see from the tweet posted at the bottom of the article, the platform differs profoundly in aesthetics compared to its older sister. The turret shape that characterizes the X model is maintained here but, unlike the flagship, it is thickness is reduced and the huge ventilation grille at the front of the console stands out. Furthermore, from the photo it emerges how the console has a white color which, at present, it is not known whether it is the only one available for the product at launch. Also confirmed on price sales, equal to dollars 299.

Based on what the reliable market analyst said Daniel Ahmad, the Xbox Series S hardware should be midway between that of Xbox One and that of Series X and will, of course, be compatible with all accessories designed for the next-gen console. There is no confirmation from Microsoft yet but it is highly likely that the mid-range console will not present the optical reader to reduce costs, thus confirming itself as a platform all-digital. To this, again through the leaks, we would also add the presence of a 500 gigabyte NVMe SSD, that is half compared to the flagship. From the video instead posted by the blogger Brad Sams of Windows Central (which you can always find at the bottom), it emerges that the Xbox Series S is not only less thick but also lower than its older sister. Microsoft has "promised" that it will soon provide new information regarding the Xbox Series S so we just have to wait for further news from the company.
