After just recovering from the news of the latest PlayStation 5, that too with a possibly CHEAPER version, we’re being hit with possible release dates of Project LockHart, proving that Microsoft does not back off!
Microsoft has always been the king of elite gaming consoles, with the best prices. The corporation has been producing gaming consoles since 2001, for nearly two decades now! As a part of next-generation gaming consoles, the Xbox Series X was officially revealed by Microsoft at the 2019 Game Awards, scheduled to launch in “Holiday 2020”.
Are the rumours true?
Despite the fact that the company has not officially confirmed the existence of this console, several clues do end up pointing in the direction of an Xbox Series S. Recently, a Microsoft document was leaked which supposedly lets the cat out of the bag, giving substantial evidence that the Series S does exist, and will possibly be released in August. Our excitement is hitting the roof right now!
How is it different from Xbox Series X?
There are a handful of rumours that suggest that Xbox Series S would have a different set of specifications, supposedly also wielding an absence of the optical drive, making the Xbox Series S very different from what the rivalling Sony product PlayStation 5 Digital Version carries. The Xbox Series S also called “Project LockHart” has been predicted to have 7.5GB of usable RAM and 4 teraflops of GPU performance, in addition to supporting 1080p or 1440p gaming.
Do the reduced specs REALLY matter?
Should Sony be worried?
Since the Xbox Series S is already rumoured to be a cheaper console, Sony would have to consider changing the prices of their PS5, so as to not lose their position in the gaming market. Keeping in mind the very obvious that Microsoft can afford to take more of a loss than Sony, there is a higher possibility that this rumour could be true. If Microsoft decides to make the Xbox Series S cheaper than the Digital version of PlayStation 5, it will take the market with no effort whatsoever!
