Abstract: Microsoft's E3 presence this year was, in a way, not too different from their presence back in 2013 when the original Xbox One debuted. At both shows, Microsoft showed off a console that left people asking, “Who is this for?”The Xbox platform we have now...
The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick. It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games
4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017
The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box...
Massive 2 TB Launch Edition should store most of your games, Its 4K, HDR capabilities are perfect for the 4K generation, Space savings with no apparent cooling issues
Without a 4K TV, One S advantages go away, Attaching the stand feels permanent, even if it isn't, Next-gen Project Scorpio is little more than a year away
Microsoft's Xbox One S may be physically smaller than its predecessor, but it's essentially an Xbox One remastered for the 4K generation...
Lighter, sleeker chassis, Available with 2TB of storage, Can stream 4K content, HDR support for videos and games, Smartly redesigned controller
Can't play games in 4K
Who says you can't teach an old console new tricks? The Xbox One S is a much-needed refresh that sheds the glossy bulk from the original, revealing a sleeker, slimmer design that will look right at home in your living room. The addition of 4K video playba...
No SSD option, Might be better to wait for Project Scorpio
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
The only game console with a UHD Blu-ray drive for 4K movie playback, Refined design, Very quiet and very small, Excellent pack-in gamepad
4K streaming apps and 4K Blu-ray playback don't work out of the box, HDR video for gaming won't be available until this fall, No reason to buy unless you own a 4K TV
Thanks to new software, more compact hardware and an excellent pack-in controller, the Xbox One S feels like a worthy successor to the older Xbox 360. If you already have an Xbox One, however, there's little reason to upgrade unless you're also planni...

Excellent design, New controller is more user friendly, 4K video playback, Streaming from Netflix, Amazon, HDR gaming and video support, 4K upscaling of 1080p games
Not a real 4K gaming console at all, No Kinect port built-in, Only comes with one controller, Overshadowed by Microsoft Scorpio
The bottom line for the Microsoft One S is that if you're looking for a great game console and 4K Blu-ray/streaming media player combo, then this device is a great choice at a decent price. It offers plenty of value per dollar spent. If however you want...
Abstract: I can see this new Xbox console being a polarising one for the gaming community. Here it is, a brand new Xbox console – without a disc drive! THE SHOCK!Here's why that's an issue. You buy a game at the shops, or online and you take it home – the box sit...

Vastly reduced physical footprint, 4K & HDR streaming, HDR gaming, Xbox platform is steadily improving.
Needs adapter for Kinect, Could fragment Xbox One audience, 4K gaming limited to upscaling
The Xbox One S is the pinnacle of what Microsoft set out to create three years ago. But being sleeker, cheaper and more powerful than its predecessor, the One S could also rub early adopters (who shelled out for Kinect) the wrong way...
