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
Lacking in power
Weakest exclusive lineup
Can't play games in 4K
No SSD option
Might be better to wait for Project Scorpio
Insecure stand
Slow OS

Kinect needs adapter to connect
Not a replacement for Xbox One (that'll come next year)
Games aren't in true 4K
Only one frontal USB port

Still relatively high power consumption for streaming
Not as powerful as PS4 Pro
Still lacks 4K/HDR in several apps
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
Needs adapter for Kinect, Could fragment Xbox One audience
The Xbox One S seems like the perfect system for first-time buyers. 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...

Abstract: Opinion to all GadgetsIf you're a gaming enthusiast you'd most probably be aware of the top brands that sell popular gaming systems like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. Consoles from these manufacturers engrain and inspire gamers due to the creative cornuc...
Top features, Sleek and chic design, HDR and Blu-ray support, Strong performance
The 500GB version of the Xbox One S is priced At Rs 29,990 - and perhaps you can get it for even less on e-commerce websites - and it's clear that Microsoft has a winner on its hands. It's a great looking console that will cater to the needs of most gamer...
Abstract: The wait has been long, but we finally have a version of the Xbox One that I can get behind. Though it's been available globally for about a year, the Xbox One S was launched in India last month. It is an improvement over the original Xbox One in almost e...
Gorgeous design and form factor, Integrated power brick, Can be propped up vertically with a stand, Game Pass and backwards compatibility are good services, Dolby Atmos, HDR and 4K Blu-ray playback support, Good library of exclusives
Controller still uses 2 AA batteries, Third party games run better on the PS4, Launched a year after its official global launch, Xbox One X is around the corner, White gets dirty easily
One can't ignore the fact that the console is a year late to launch in India, which means that if you wanted an Xbox One S, then you probably already got it through other sources. If you are looking to buy one, you can get it cheaper in the grey market wi...
