On November 10, Microsoft launched the consoles that will be its flagship products for years to come: the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S. Since then, getting one of these machines has become a challenge due to the lack of stock. However, the demand has been quite high around the world.
From Microsoft, they announced that they are working on improving their Xbox Game Pass service, as well as planning for the next revisions to their console. The latter follows after having registered name ‘Xbox Series XS’ on the Trademarkia portal on January 1, 2021. This action would aim to strengthen your intellectual property in other areas or to review the console.
Of course, this is not something out of the ordinary. It’s something the company does from time to time, as it has happened with the Xbox One S, Xbox One X, or Xbox One S All Digital Edition.
The name can mean that Microsoft you are working on an Xbox Series X without a disc drive – as is the case with the S series – and which supposedly has to be cheaper. In this way, the company I would have three machines quite differentiated and with price ranges for all types of customers.
If this turns out to be true, Microsoft would follow the Sony strategy with its PlayStation 5, which offers the public a model with the same internal features and advantages, but which lacks a disk drive.
So far Microsoft has not released any statement in this regard and has not explained the details of this registration, so users should be aware of what will be released in the coming weeks.
