Microsoft has revealed its next generation gaming console Xbox Series X. The console was announced with a trailer earlier this week.

The Xbox Series X will be the successor to the current Xbox One gaming console. However, the console does not seem to differ significantly from its predecessor apart from several hardware improvements.

The console will feature a tower design similar to that of a modern PC. It features exhaust fans at the top for cooling and a vertical disc drive slot for optical discs. The design is a departure from the flat console design that both Microsoft and Sony have embraced over the past two decades.
