While the world awaits the release of new-gen consoles, it looks like we have a surprise entry. Sony and Microsoft announced their flagships – PS5 and Xbox Series X, but it looks like they’ll face some competition from the beloved food-chain KFC. KFC ANNOUNCES ITS VERY OWN CONSOLE TO COMPETE WITH PS5 AND XBOX SERIES X Supposedly, the new gaming console from KFC will cater to your gaming needs and end your food cravings. Not many details about the hardware were given, but at least you get a chicken chamber and cross-platform compatibility. Cross-platform that KFC mentions could be just another cooking reference. You would no longer need to walk around to grab a bite. Gamers are set to be delighted. The console is 4K and to rejoice you get to play games at a whopping 120FPS. The tagline “Power Your Hunger” strikes many chords. However, to get a ‘taste’ of the console, KFC claims players will have to wait until the end of the year. Towards the final moments of the trailer the reveal date is shown, i.e, you can get the console in December 2020, if it exists. Coming back to reality, KFC looks to be taking a dig at the newly launched PS5 [http://essentiallysports.com/tag/ps5/]. The PS5 launch event was one of the most viewed live streams in history. We assume it was an attempt from the fast-food chain to steal the spotlight. The design of the PS5 did cause quite a stir on the internet. While many applauded, several others were rather mocking. Users commented on how the PS5 looks like a WI-FI router among other stuff. KFC grabbed the right opportunity and launched something funny yet creative. It is safe to assume that there is no truth behind their gaming console. They even captioned the post ‘The Future of Gaming’, which was Sony’s tagline for PS5. Many replied to KFC gaming’s tweet including Xbox [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/xbox/] official Twitter. Take a look at the reactions below. Going out on a limb, we could say KFC could pull this off if they want to. Being one of the biggest brands in the world, but it is highly unlikely that they ever will. What do you think about this KFC console? Leave your comments below. 

Worldwide renowned fast food-chain brand KFC has just tweeted the launch of
their very own gaming console with the tagline of PS5 'The Future of Gaming'.

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's next-gen console and is also the most powerful and fastest Xbox console to date. It belongs to the fourth generation of Microsoft's Xbox console family and is the successor of Xbox One, released in 2013.

Series X is the epitome of Microsoft's technological prowess, packed with immense computing and graphical power. A low-end variant dubbed the Xbox Series S was unveiled in September 2020.

While the Series S is comparable in basic hardware to Series X, it lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive, the raw processing power, and some specs of the high-end variant. The other difference between both of Microsoft's next-gen consoles is the price point.
<h2>Xbox Series X Price</h2>
Microsoft announced the price of the console a day after they had officially announced the Series S console in September 2020. Take a look at the prices of both the next-gen variants below:

<h2>Xbox Series X Expandable Storage</h2>
The Series X console is compatible with a standard standalone hard drive, and it supports products with the Designed for Xbox badge. It will allow players to have had additional storage options apart from the custom NVM Express SSD.

For the best experience, the proprietary 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X plugs into the console's back via the dedicated storage expansion port and replicates the console’s custom SSD experience, providing additional game storage at the same performance.

A 2 TB version for Seagate Storage Expansion Card is planned later. Series X is also built with support for USB 3.1 external HDD. Both the options for expandable storage will be sold separately. These standalone products are not included in the console bundle.
<h2>Xbox Series X Accessories</h2>
Microsoft's next-gen console will ship with an updated version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable, and power cord. Users can add standalone purchases of Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the Series X console for the complete experience.
<h2>Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility</h2>
Microsoft has stated that Series X is backward compatible with thousands of games across four generations of the Xbox console family. The next-gen console will support all games playable on Xbox One, excluding those requiring the Kinect sensor.

It includes all those Xbox 360 and original Xbox console games currently supported through backward compatibility on the Xbox One console.

Moreover, with the Smart Delivery program, you buy a game once and get the best version of that game for the console you’re playing on.

To play a backward-compatible game, insert the disc or search your library and select the game you want to play.
<h2>Xbox Series X Release Date</h2>
Microsoft has announced that the release date for Xbox Series X at participating retailers worldwide is November 10, 2020.
