Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs
And may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio

Abstract: There were very few complaints when the original Xbox One was announced, despite it failing to handle 4K. In 2013 nobody really cared about HD's successor. Not unless they'd spent thousands on one of the few 4K TV sets available at the time. Yes, the best...

4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017
The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box...
A slimmer, smarter version of the Xbox One, capable of playing 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays with HDR, has 4K Netflix support, HDR gaming, upscales all output to 2160p, great new wireless controller, no power brick
Gaming is not improved by much so few reasons to upgrade bar 4K video, needs extra 4K app support from the likes of Amazon, no native Kinect port
There's no doubt in our minds that the Xbox One S is a much more capable machine than its predecessor. It is physically more attractive, comes jam packed with new features and offers a smoother, more responsive experience. However, whether that will...
Slick new look, Strong input/output selection, Ultra HD Blu-ray support, Enhanced compatibility with Windows 10, Attractive pricing
Not as small as expected, Hardware still slower than PlayStation 4, Cortana is disappointing
Serious gamers are unlikely to find the Xbox One S more appealing that it was before. It remains less powerful than its rival at Sony. Aside from its smaller footprint – which, as mentioned, is less impressive than hinted during its reveal – there's not...

Needs adapter for Kinect, Could fragment Xbox One audience
The Xbox One S seems like the perfect system for first-time buyers. But being sleeker, cheaper and more powerful than its predecessor, the One S could also rub early adopters (who shelled out for Kinect) the wrong way...
My official ranking overall? The Xbox One Elite controller on top, then the Xbox One S, Xbox 360, and in last place the original stock Xbox One controller. The Elite still has quite a bit going for it—even after almost a year of use, my Elite's analog sti...

For me, the One S is the equivalent of retooling an American automobile for the European market, shrinking it down while adding the latest gizmos to appeal to a fresh audience.For PC fans who already happen to own an Xbox One and don't own a 4K TV, I'd sa...
