Microsoft’s next-gen consoles, the Xbox Series X and S, finally hit the stores on November 10. The initial sales of the consoles have been sky-high. However, many fans grew suspicious about Microsoft’s “most powerful console ever”, because of a video that went viral recently.
A user uploaded a clip of the Series X with smoke coming out of it. Millions watched the clip and shared it blatantly. Accordingly, the situation became so grave that Xbox itself had to step in and clarify it.
The user who uploaded the original clip had used a smoke vaporizer to create the smoke effect coming from the console. Soon after discovering this, several other fans started blowing smoke into their consoles and shared it.
