In the console battle with Sony: Microsoft brings mini Xbox on the market

The new generation of consoles is in the starting blocks, and it should be ready in autumn. In addition to the Xbox X, Microsoft is also bringing a mini version of the current generation onto the market. In contrast to the eagerly awaited flagship console, the launch and price of the Xbox S are known.

The US tech giant Microsoft is launching a mini version of its Xbox game console. The Xbox S, "the smallest Xbox ever", will be available from November 10, the company said. Customers can use it to play games from a special Microsoft cloud service that is due to start in September.

According to Microsoft, the Xbox S will cost 299 dollars. The group also plans to bring out a new version of the Xbox X. According to US media reports, this will also happen in November. Accordingly, a price of $ 500 is envisaged. The company has not yet commented on the sale date or price for the second model.

Japanese competitor Sony is also planning to bring the fifth generation of its Playstation series onto the market this winter. Microsoft hopes to convince more customers with its new devices. The PlayStation 4 has sold more than twice as well as the Xbox in recent years.
