Is it cutting-edge enough? Abhik Sen finds out.

Microsoft's Xbox One S (₹29,990) sits squarely between the original Xbox One and the beefier Xbox One X.
The slim white console looked striking and as soon as I connected it to a 4K TV, it presented me with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
Having been a PlayStation devotee for most of my life, I was intrigued at how easily the One S detected my home media setup.
Having said that, getting the console to output the picture in 4K can be a bit of a pain, especially if you happen to have one of the older 4K TVs, like I do.

The One S blew me away with its performance as a Blu-ray player; I've never watched Prometheus and Mad Max: Fury Road with such vivid detailing.
The only Xbox game I could access was FIFA 16 and the controller had my fingers flying all over smoothly for those complicated soccer moves.
The Xbox One S is a fabulous media centre and Blu-ray player, which will also play all your favourite Xbox One games.
But if you want the cutting-edge in gaming, you should wait for the Xbox One X.
