Xbox Series S might be the size of Xbox One X or smaller
Microsoft plans to have a second “Xbox Series” console, which is designed to provide many of the improvements of Xbox Series X but for a more affordable price.
Lockhart aka: Xbox Series S
According to Thurrot, a common practice for Microsoft is to have the dev consoles disguised inside something else. With Xbox Series X, they were disguised as a speaker or subwoofer, with Xbox Series S, they are being disguised inside of Xbox One X shells.
This revelation flies in the face of the assumed design for Xbox Series S. The design may end up being more of a traditional console shape and could even be smaller than Xbox One X, considering it fits inside of its shell.
From what we know about Lockhart or Xbox Series S, the cheaper console is said to hit around 4 Teraflops as opposed to Xbox Series X that hits 12 Teraflops.
