Xbox One S: will be here before the end of the summer

Announced at E3, the Xbox One S is coming at a bit of a strange time.

Microsoft has something called Project Scorpio also in the works, which will bring new functions to the Xbox such as virtual reality. It will also be the most powerful console that Microsoft has created.

You’d think people would hold off for that. But it’s still more than a year away and the One S will be here before the end of the summer. And it still has some things in its favour.

It is about 40 per cent smaller than the existing Xbox One. It also has 4K streaming support and High Dynamic Range. It also has a 2TB hard drive, which means more space for storing games.
