The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Microsoft’s latest generation of video game consoles, are the worst-selling Xbox consoles to date in France, according to new numbers shared online this week that show how the systems, which carry an MSRP of $499 and $299, respectively, have only sold .7 million since their release in the region, a number that would put it behind its siblings, including the original Xbox, in a similar time frame. That said, a few new versions of the console, including an all-digital Xbox Series X in Robot White with 1 TB SSD, will be available in select markets this holiday, Microsoft confirmed.
New Xbox consoles include:

- Xbox Series X – 1TB Digital Edition ($449.99/€499.99 ERP)
