The Xbox One S is the latest console to come out of tech giant Microsoft's ranch. It sports a sleeker, slimmer look compared to the original, as well as having improved performance. The console supports High Dynamic Range (or HDR) visuals, and is compatible for 4K resolution, provided that the television set runs on 4K as well. While the Xbox One S may not be performing as well as the Playstation 4 in sales, things might turn up for the console after the Black Friday rush.
