Microsoft has confirmed that it will be releasing 2 different consoles for its next generation of consoles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than simply looking at the appearance of both can you really tell the difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone is a techy and knows exactly what the differences are enough to make a buy decision, which is why I wrote this article to help people understand better the differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to gaming, the look of your console doesn\u2019t matter half as much as what is on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I think about it, maybe the PC master race debate makes sense now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xbox Series S vs Xbox Series X<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you went on google and typed \u201cthe difference between the Xbox series X and the Xbox series S, you would get a lot of articles throwing system specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me help you figure out what it all means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above are the specs for both consoles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can only assume that Xbox made the Xbox Series S as a budget version of the Xbox series X for those who want next-gen but are trying to work with a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Series S, Xbox sacrifices performance and memory while still making sure games get to experience a taste of the next gen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see in the image, both consoles share the same CPU, but there\u2019s a pretty big difference in the performance of the GPUs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Xbox Series X has more power and is able to run games at a 4K resolution with 60fps performance. You are basically playing a movie with these numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the Xbox Series S is capped at a 1440p performance, but can apparently hit up to 120fps at that resolution. In this case, you are basically sacrificing looks for a buttery smooth experience. You can never go wrong with more frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another big difference between both is in the size of the console\u2019s memory. The Series S rocking a 512GB SSD while the Series X features a 1TB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not too sure how I feel about the Series S memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming games will continue to follow the trend it did in the current-gen (with some titles requiring more than 200GB of space just for the initial download), odds are you won\u2019t be able to have that many games installed on your console at one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would most likely have to delete games for new ones and reinstall the ones you deleted whenever you get the itch to play it again. But to do that you have to delete a game again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a gamer that plans to only play one game, then you are golden, absolutely nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, if you plan on having lots of games on your system then investing in some extra external storage would definitely be worth it and will save yous o much time in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X: When do they release?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both consoles are set to release November 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-orders are set to begin September 10th for both consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors note: Seriously? We are getting this much transparency from Xbox this early but still have yet to hear anything from PlayStation? It\u2019s like Xbox is calling out PlayStation\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X: How much will they cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Xbox Series X will cost $499\/\u00a3449. That\u2019s a fairly high price, but you do get the wildly better system out of both consoles for that price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Xbox Series S is a far more affordable option and will cost $299\/\u00a3249, but will suffer because of its limited performance. But you will still be getting a bunch of high-end features, including ray tracing, speedy SSDs, and the same CPU as the Series X. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Thoughts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Comment below. Which system would you get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will take the hit on performance and get the Series S or do you demand only the best and will be getting the Series X?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
