“Xbox empowers game developers large and small to create different types of games for every type of player,” said Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox division.

The company added that the new console was created to deliver “uncompromised power, ultimate compatibility and design excellence”.

“It’s both the most powerful and smallest console Xbox has ever built,” it said.
