With its current pairing of consoles, the Xbox One Series X and Xbox One Series S, Microsoft is taking a unique approach to this console generation.
They both run the same games, but while the Series X is a towering black monolith with powerful processors and 4K output (even 8K is possible) that gives the PlayStation 5 a run for its money, the Series S takes a more laid-back approach, providing less processing power and resolution but targeting a different market. The Series S is cheaper, smaller, lighter and perfect for anyone who doesn’t own a 4K TV or plays mainly retro or indie titles, though it can hold its own with the big boys if it needs to.
