Same power as Xbox Series X, but no optical drive
On December 29, 2020, Microsoft Corporation registered the Xbox Series XS trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office. On January 4, 2021, applications were also filed with the World Intellectual Property Office. The trademark belongs to the 9/29/41 class, which includes, in particular, game consoles. The description exactly matches the description of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S trademarks that Microsoft registered last year.
Is the third Xbox Series XS a complete alternative to the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition?
According to one of the versions, Microsoft is preparing to release the third next-generation game console, but what will be its uniqueness. Perhaps Microsoft plans to release an intermediate version between the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. After the difference in price between the two consoles is $ 200.
The manufacturer may present a console as powerful as the Xbox Series X, devoid of an optical drive. That is, it will become a full-fledged alternative to the digital version of the PlayStation 5. It should be added that the trademark for the Xbox Series X was registered back in December 2019, almost a year before the console appeared in stores.
Demand for the new Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 game consoles continues to outstrip supply. Stocks are gradually replenishing, but many ordering users continue to wait for their consoles.
