Xbox Series S Confirmed in Leaked Controller Packaging

We reported on rumors about the cheaper next-generation Xbox console back in June, and after this latest leak we can be sure it will be called the Xbox Series X. Twitter user Zak S has obtained images of the Xbox Series X controller and packaging, which confirm compatibility with the Xbox Series S. The packaging details that the controller will work with both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles along with Xbox One consoles, Windows 10, Android, and IOS.

This Xbox Series S is expected to be announced by Microsoft in the coming weeks, the console is designed to complement the Xbox Series X as a cheaper alternative for casual gamers and media consumption. The console is rumored to feature 7.5 GB useable memory compared to the 13.5 GB useable on the Xbox Series X along with graphics power of 4 TFLOPs or roughly 3x worse then the Xbox Series X at 12 TFLOPs.

Tsukiyomi91tldr; XB1/XBSX controllers > PS4/PS5 controllers. Minorities will always complain just about anything, even the weather.
If you say so. Though I’m willing to bet that PS controllers have sold multiple times the amount these legacy tech xbox controllers have, making their usersbase the majority.

If you jokingly compare total lithium battery controller sales to total alkaline battery controller sales the margin gets absurd.

Still kinda sucks that its AA and not an integrated battery. I do understand the reason for it but I'd still prefer them integrated. If it was an integrated battery I'd prolly try them out.

I've had rechargeable AAs with longer lifetimes than Li-Ion batteries on a regular usage, unless their power regulation was flawless.
So yes, please keep it AAs as it's easy to find and potentially last longer for something as rudimentary as a controller.

Whatever the majority of decent controllers use since 2006. Xbox controllers are over 30% heavier for no apparent reason other than as a cost saving measure.

I can have fully charged eneloops back in my xbox pad in 20 seconds tops. Want to measure the time it takes to replace the built in battery on a DS4? Not to mention, xbox can last me 2 weeks on those puppies. DS4 barely lasts a weekend (which means about 10 hours of playing).

I am going to have to pass my XB1 controller is only 3 months and I am not about to drop $60 on a new controller. I'll wait until mine breaks, I usually go through 1 controller a year.
