Microsoft’s New Xbox One S Won’t Play Videogame Discs

Microsoft Corporation is planning on releasing a brand new gaming console that doesn't require discs or cartridges. Their reasoning for producing this type of console is that most games bought now are downloaded online. Fewer people are currently going to stores to purchase games and this new innovation could lead to their end. This will be one of the first consoles to not include this feature which could lead to more consumers wanting to try it.

A positive of creating a system like this is that it will allow gamers to switch from one game to the next without having to get off their couch. This feature has never been created by Microsoft's competitors, Nintendo and Playstation, which could lead to a gain in users for them. Many people might love this new idea that they created and will want to switch to it, while others will want to stick to traditional ways of gaming. This new invention will be a great experiment to figure out what consumers look for in a gaming console. A negative of producing a console like this is that downloading some games might take hours. Discs and cartridges allow a player to immediately start playing. This invention is a great opportunity for Microsoft creating something unique compared to other gaming systems on the market.
