The '''Xbox Series X''' and '''Xbox Series S''' are the two models of the [[Ninth generation of video game consoles|ninth generation console]] that constitute the fourth, and current, home [[video game console]] line by [[Microsoft]].
The '''Sega Genesis Mini 2''', known as the '''Sega Mega Drive Mini 2''' outside North America, is a miniature video game system by [[Sega]].  


It contains fifty built-in games, running on an [[emulation|emulator]] designed by [[M2]], and is designed to resemble the second model of the [[Sega Genesis]].  
They were released on November 10, 2020.


Unlike the original [[Sega Genesis Mini]], the Sega Genesis Mini 2 includes [[Sega CD]] games in addition to Sega Genesis games.
==Models==
===Xbox Series X===
The Xbox Series X has a built-in [[Blu-ray]] drive and also supports purchasing games over the [[internet]] through [[digital distribution]].


One six-button controller is included which connects to the console using a USB connection. The video is output through HDMI.
===Xbox Series S===
The Xbox Series S lacks a Blu-ray drive so games can only be purchased over the internet through digital distribution.


==Sound selection==
A Blu-ray drive add-on is not available so the Xbox Series S can not be upgraded to the capabilities of the Xbox Series S.
The Sega Genesis has both FM and PSG sound sources. As the sound was different between the two models, there is a choice of playing music and sound effects as they would sound on a model 1 or a model 2.  


==Development==
[[Category: brand names]]
According to [[Yosuke Okunari]], a creative producer within Sega that also worked on the Sega Genesis Mini and the [[Game Gear Micro]], a miniature [[Sega Saturn]] or [[Dreamcast]] was considered for Sega's next mini console. However, the cost would be too much due to the microchip shortages caused by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. That shortage caused the price of the Game Gear Micro to be about one and a half times higher than initially projected, and Sega wanted a mini-console similar in price to the Sega Genesis Mini in order to maximize sales. Sega had access to the board used in the Sega Genesis Mini, however, it would not be powerful enough to run Saturn or Dreamcast games. Thus, a miniature console based on the Sega Genesis model 2 was chosen with a price point only slightly higher than the original Sega Genesis Mini.

The Sega Mega Drive Mini was revealed on June 3, 2022. Sega planned to increase its marketing in Japan and will have most of its sales volume focused on the Japanese market. However, because the Sega Genesis Mini sold more in North America and Europe than in Japan, a worldwide release is planned. Due to microchip shortages, however, the stock of the Sega Genesis Mini 2 will be lower than the original Sega Genesis Mini.
 
==Games list==
Fifty games are included in the Sega Drive Mini 2.

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are the two models of the ninth generation console that constitute the fourth, and current, home video game console line by Microsoft.

They were released on November 10, 2020.

Models

Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X has a built-in Blu-ray drive and also supports purchasing games over the internet through digital distribution.

Xbox Series S

The Xbox Series S lacks a Blu-ray drive so games can only be purchased over the internet through digital distribution.

A Blu-ray drive add-on is not available so the Xbox Series S can not be upgraded to the capabilities of the Xbox Series S.
