[Verge] Microsoft’s new Xbox Series S console confirmed in leaked controller packaging

I'll be getting a Series X, but I just don't know if I like all of this stuff being on the market at the same time.
It might. Or it could be that series S actually isn't launching until next spring or something and they'll update the manual then. Honestly I hope it is the same and thus has a disc drive.
I'm pretty sure it is similar in the way the one s is similar to the one x. I mean hell, the x is way more powerful than the s and it's SMALLER.
No chance is XSX going to be $100 more than PS5. At the moment, I'd be betting on XSX undercutting the PS5.
I think they'll have an almost identical form factor. To show a unity of design.
Obviously, it'll be white.
I have no doubt about the appearance of executives from EA/Ubisoft/Anapurna to explain how scaling is costless and effortless as a single recompiling in Visual Studio, but I am not excepting the same enthusiasm outside after the reveal, at least for what it implies on details for studios and creatives.
At least one of those are no longer on the market. I thought about the One S stopping production sooner than later but since Series S won't have a disc drive it might be a good thing for a cheaper Xbox console with a disc drive to stick around for now.
Sony can't "undercut" it in the traditional sense, but they can sure make it a hard bargain. If the XSS is even within an earshot of a PS5DE (say, around $100 or so) then it makes the whole thing more difficult.
I think the poster means same hardware just no disc drive. Like ps5.
Also it really isn't very large and it's much smaller than the ps5.
XSX isn't gonna be $100 more lmao. My prediction:
PS5 & XSX: $499
PS5 DE: $399
XSS: $299 no controller included
I've had a lot of push back on this over the past few months. I just do not think this naming convention works. We are not the average consumer. I just don't see these boxes getting into your average households. I also see some major Christmas confusion from parents that just don't know what to get.
I'd also imagine you'd save some $ on assembly having Virtually the same case, packaging, etc.
What logic is this? Sony is the only that has announced both of it's SKUs so it has more pressure to announce pricing for both. "Forced to spit out" what
It's kinda interesting seeing this high-stakes game of Chicken with the pricing strategy. I'm fairly confident this has to be the main reason why MS is silent on this, despite it being an open secret for almost 2 years.
Pretty much, what'd they do? Just minor changes to the ergonomics, right?
Sigh, another gen of shitty xbox buttons confirmed then.
I love the Xbox controllers, the best for my tastes, but those fucking buttons man... I fucking hate playing sport games with them.

If the controller is available does this make it more likely that it's gonna be like an iPhone drop. Revealed and released in quick succession. I know there was a rumour that they planned to release in August before Covid.
Quite a few white robots out there.
Ah yes ok, I get Robot now. I literally just thought of metal and silver.
Sure I get that. Its just super odd. Literally releasing fake box art to hide a product. Its just all weird.
Yea why wouldn't they show the other console in the manual
My guess would be somewhat similar to the One X, or a smaller version of the Series X.
PS5's BOM is around $450. Take out the disc drive and you can shave $50 off that bad boy and sell it for $399. Which is why they're probably aiming for Series S to be $349 or $299 without the controller, because you can't price the Lockhart that close to PS5 and expect it to look like good value proposition.
I think I'd guess something around this as well. If it happens I'd say neither has a really clear price advantage.
Put that on its side and that's what I'm expecting it to look like.
I wonder what is Series S now. Is it even a console?
And yes it will be a console.
Yeah to me this sounds more like it. Maybe a bundle with XSS and controller for 349. It would be ideal for the holidays and look like the better deal against PS5 DE. Well just have to wait and see.
You think there will only be a $50 difference between a 4tf S and a 10tf PS5?
Series S is a cheap Android phone with a postit on it that says "get xcloud".
From the original rumors, it's a weaker-spec machine that will still be a next-gen SKU (however it is very likely to be digital-only as well).
MS is looking at it like the PC market, XSX will be your top-of-the-line model, but Lockhart will still play the same games, just with reduced settings likely.
