The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Microsoft's next-generation game consoles, are smaller and lighter than the previous-generation Xbox One All Digital Edition, despite the fact that the Xbox Series S is a disc drive-less console. The "Xbox Series X" and "Xbox Series S" are smaller and lighter than the previous generation "Xbox One All Digital Edition" despite being next generation consoles.
The PlayStation 5 also has a disk drive-less version, but the size is not that much different.
