Microsoft announces a disc-less Xbox Series X console in white

The new console option won’t include a disc drive, and will be entirely all-digital. Inside it’s identical to the Xbox Series X, with the same performance for existing Xbox games. This new white model will be available with 1TB of storage later this year, priced at $449.99.

Xbox president Sarah Bond revealed the new white Xbox Series X during the Xbox Games Showcase today, alongside a 2TB “Galaxy Black” version of the original Xbox Series X. There’s also a $349.99 1TB Xbox Series S coming in white, too.

What the fuck is the selling point? Less features for a color??

For anyone done buying discs, it’s a removed point of failure in the device. The Series S sold well, so if your point is “No one wants a digital console”, then no, you are wrong.
People wanted more storage in existing models
For a lot of people, the $100 difference between models is a heavy consideration. Anything that can get trimmed out may make them more likely to buy.

Nothing of the sort, it was a legitimate question in which I didn't intend to make a statement out of subtext.

Thanks for answering it.

Is it cheaper?

Edit: looks like the old series x was 499 but is on sale for 449 basically everywhere. The new discless series x is 449, but will prob be on sale for 400 in a few months.
