Xbox One S 40% smaller

[Atariboy]

 

Not a question if its better....most people dont want to deal with an extra anchor to carry around or whatever, and buying them years later sucks. Pain in the ass all around, especially when the original Xbox One console was bigger than most 80's VCR's. Never had a power supply go bad on me, totally not worried about it. Glad its gone.

 

I understand all that, but I very much doubt there's any improvement here from a reliability standpoint just because it's been made internal. When they're driving to cut cost and make everything fit into a much smaller form factor, I very much doubt that some huge leap was made with the durability of the power supply.

 

And a new power supply, even if expensive, is still going to be less expensive than an entirely brand new console.
