In the range of the US retailer Target, a user would like to have come across a console with the code name Xbox One S Version 2 or Xbox One S V2. It is speculated that we could possibly be dealing with a simple placeholder for the Xbox Series S, which has not yet been officially announced.
Even if an official announcement is still a long way off, it is now considered certain that Microsoft will rely on two systems in the next generation of consoles.
In addition to the Xbox Series X, a weaker and cheaper version of the next-generation console is to appear, which has been haunted by the rumor mill for months under the name of Xbox Series S or Xbox Lockhart.
An employee of the US retailer Target caused fresh speculation, who pointed out via Twitter that a new console called Xbox One S V2 appeared in the internal databases.
It would certainly be obvious that we are only dealing with a simple revision of the Xbox One S, which may be delivered with the next-generation Xbox controller.
This is countered by the fact that Microsoft is offering a system that was equipped with hardware from 2013 at a price of 299.99 US dollars, parallel to the approaching start of the new generation of consoles.
It is, therefore, speculated that a simple placeholder for the not yet announced Xbox Series S could be hidden behind the name Xbox One S V2. According to the unconfirmed reports, the cheaper version of the Xbox Series X will be officially announced or presented in the next few weeks. The current product entry from Target could also match this.
