A Microsoft announced the prices of its new consoles, however the similarity between the names can cause confusion, after all it is better Xbox Series X ou S series? Which one is best suited for each audience profile? With several options on the market we decided to detail the two models to solve all doubts. w3w2l
The specifications vb3r
The first big difference between the consoles is given by their different configurations. While both have an octa-core processor with the Zen 2 architecture, the Xbox Series X is a device with a GPU based on AMD's RDNA2 micro-architecture with 52 CUDA cores, 12 teraflops and 16 GB of shared RAM, since it is a product developed to run games on 4K at 120 frames per second.
In contrast, the Xbox series s will arrive with a 4 teraflops graphics card (RDNA2), 20 CUDA cores and 10 GB of shared RAM. The lower specs happen because the console is designed to run games in 1440p (Quad-HD) at 120 frames per second.
In addition to the settings being different for each resolution and framerate profile, the change also means lowering the price of video games, which will arrive in Brazil on November 19 for BRL 4.999 (Series X) e BRL 2.999 (Series S).
In addition to the performance factor, it is important to be aware that, unlike X series, S series does not have a blu-ray player, so there is no option to purchase or insert discs into the console. This simplification also caused its price to be reduced, but mainly for another reason. If the device does not physical media, the only way is through internal storage, and here we get to the X of the matter. Or rather… in St.
Storage 225u60
The new generation of consoles comes equipped with SSDs, that is, a type of storage up to 3x faster than a standard HD. However, the new technology has gained one more evolution: the NVME M.2 SSD via fourth-generation PCI-e. Confused? Don't worry, this means that games load infinitely faster with the help of data compression tools. Microsoft made a point of highlighting this in the video below:
The big difference here is that the Xbox Series X will arrive with 1 TB of internal storage, while the S series with just 512 GB. For gamers this difference must be uncomfortable, since games are demanding more and more space. However, Microsoft will sell separately a kind of 1 terabyte memory card to increase this space. But since nothing is too easy, this little accessory will arrive in Brazil for… R$ 2.299, and that will be a big obstacle when choosing your Xbox Series X or Series S.
As we have already mentioned in the text about the PlayStation 5 digital and with disc, this difference between being able to insert physical media or not represents an impediment to lending or selling a game in the future, as well as using discs from your Xbox One in the new console, since backwards compatibility will be a key point in the next generation.

Furthermore, the indecision between a Xbox Series X or Series S becomes even more interesting with the addition of Game to that equation. Microsoft's streaming service has an extensive series of titles in its catalog, which are added and removed monthly, such as Doom Eternal, The Outer Worlds, Resident Evil 7, in addition to having already sheltered GTA V e Red Dead Redemption 2 in the past.
This subscription can be leveraged with the Ultimate version, which allows the player to access the computer's library simultaneously and comes with Xbox Live Gold included in the price of R$ 44,99 per month. New subscribers gain the advantage of paying for 1 real in the first month, as a great trial period.
This offer can be an excellent advantage for anyone who is thinking about purchasing an Xbox Series S, not only because of the lower value of the console, but also because of the Game option as a gigantic game rental company.
