Xbox One S is a solid game console. Microsoft fixed that by shrinking the Xbox One S by 40 percent. It’s an improvement in just about every way over the original Xbox One, and packs some handy 4K tech to boot.
At $399, the 2TB version makes this a decently priced 4K Blu-ray player that also happens to play all sorts of awesome video games and function as a fine set-top box. If you have a fresh new 4K TV and are dying to get the most out of it, this is a better choice than a straight-up 4K player.
This system is a replacement for the market to sell Xbox ones. The original Xbox one is no longer going to be produced and the Xbox one s will be the cheaper entry level system for people who can't afford the Xbox Scorpio. This allows Microsoft to compete with both the low end and high end of the market.
