The latest generation of consoles Xbox did not have much success, because in terms of sales their main competitor Sony significantly surpassed them, but Microsoft He doesn’t want to give up. That’s why they were preparing a new version of the Xbox Series S named as “Refresh“, but it had to be canceled due to various problems, among them the excessive stock of Xbox consoles.
Console Xbox Series S It was presented as a cheaper alternative to Xbox Series, although this also implied that it had less capacity, power and, in general, performance. This is why it is a console that Microsoft really planned to launch for a specific purpose, to take advantage of game pass
Xbox Series S update canceled?
As we indicated at the beginning, there are several reasons why the company decided not to continue the project, since it is a console that did not offer great performance. And the problem is not just that there are many versions of the Xbox Seriess on the market, but also, the S Series Refreshit only presented an improvement compared to the Normal S seriesthus being less powerful than the X Series.
This is a big problem especially in terms of marketing, because selling a console that is really halfway between the two that already exist is not easy to manage, so Microsoft he had to turn around. And in the end, many people could have taken this console as a joke, since a new model which is not capable of surpassing the superior console offered, and which only improves certain aspects compared to its previous version, is obviously doomed to failure.
Indeed, people could have seen the launch of this model as an attempt to Microsoft to make as much money as possible before removing the Xbox Series from the market to make way for the new generation.
The new generations
The fact that we are entering the last half of current consoles is also a key factor in the cancellation of the launch of this console, since ultimately this is hardware that is not going to last too long. In the end, everything depends on the launch of the new generations, although, as we well know, there is still a long way to go before their arrival, the fact that Microsoft plan to launch the Xbox Seriesmakes a similar S-series model more of a hassle than a help.
There Xbox Series S It was not a great success, because although the price was extremely lower than the X version, the performance was obviously also much lower, making the investment sometimes not worth it.
