The "Xbox Lockhart" is something we've been hearing about for some time now - a secondary, lesser-powered next-gen system from Microsoft. And while it hasn't been officially unveiled yet, Windows Central Senior Editor Jez Corden recently took to the Gamertag Radio podcast to share what he's heard about the form factor of the console:
"I've got no idea what it looks like exactly, but I've heard that it's surprisingly small in volume. It sounds like it's going to be fairly small, which is why I posted that [concept] render - I don't know if it's going to look exactly like that, but I've heard that it could be similar in volume. It's been described to me as being like, I don't know, shoebox-ish, but smaller."
We shared the concept render that he referred to a couple of weeks ago here at Pure Xbox, which was originally posted on Reddit. The design basically shows an Xbox Series X cut in half, and the host of the podcast stated that it reminded them of a Nintendo GameCube, to which Corden responded with the following:
"I don't know if it'll be smaller than the [Nintendo] GameCube, but I don't know - I've heard that it's going to be pretty small. It sounds like it's going to be sleek anyway. But again, no idea. I'm expecting that we'll see it very soon. If they're shipping them out more broadly, someone in the supply chain or someone, somewhere will leak something."
What do you think the Xbox Lockhart or "Series S" will look like? Let us know in the comments.

Gamecube 2.0 LOL
Can't wait to see it, But I wish it would have a disc drive..
Nice !!!! I hope it will be a Gamecube 2, basically! Release a purple version too, please!
The question obviously is: will it play Metroid Prime?
@ShaiHulud At this rate it will get that Super Mario Sunshine remake before a Nintendo console.
Well like he said if it's in the supply chain someone will leak it. We know it's real for starters, even tho Microsoft haven't even announced anything.
It remains to be seen how this will play out. There's still the feeling that it could potentially hold Series X back. We shall see
@BlueOcean Supposedly we're getting quite a few Mario remasters this year on the Switch!

@ShaiHulud Yeah, I read that on several sites. Do you think that it's true? It was published around April Fools' Day. I would really love that to be true because I was disappointed by Super Mario Odyssey but I loved Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. If it's true I hope that they are remakes and not just a resolution upgrade.
@BlueOcean I don't buy into a lot of rumours, but this one actually seems pretty well-founded because of all the different (and quite reputable) sources reporting on it. Other than Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 3, which are quite some time away I think, Nintendo doesn't really have anything big in the pipeline as far as I know, so I guess it would be a relative easy way for them to fill up the gaps and earn some dosh.
@ShaiHulud That's true.
smaller? so... cuter? if it had a disc drive I would buy Lockhart with no hesitation.
