Discuss,
Guess they couldn’t come up with something original.
Shape is different.

So I suppose the lower tier version will be Xbox Series S. They're definitely matching Tesla's naming convention.

**Gandalfthewhite** · Dec 13, 2019, 12:12 AM

heck even looks like a PC now. lol

That looks tight.

**logical** · Dec 13, 2019, 01:31 AM

Definitely looks like a PC. Hope the top glows.

**SirBaron** · Dec 13, 2019, 06:31 AM

For me the main thing isn't the design which looks basically like a black box with a glowing green top.

It's the fact how do you fit that underneath a TV.

You going to post any info or video? lol

My understanding is that it also lays flat horizontally. Which means it wouldn't be much bigger than a current gen console.

The name is dumb.

When I saw the announcement trailer last night, I legit watched it twice trying to understand what it was they were showing off. After that, I had to Google WTF an "Xbox Series X" really was. Only then did I realize this isn't a new edition of the current gen console, like the One S, but rather a whole new generation console.

Even laying it down its kind of big to fit into most entertainment systems. I dont think it will fit in the area under my TV either way. It depends on how tall/long it is. Looking at the scale of the controller next to it, its about 2 and a half controllers and that maybe be too big.

Consoles have come full circle now

MS said **** it we'll just re-purpose a PC and forget about trying to make custom pieces of hardware to fit in a small case.

This is going to sell like hot cakes even with an inflated price. Lets see what design PS5 comes out with. I feel like the hardware is going to be similar so it comes down to which one looks better.

I Mean everytime MS releases stuff, seems like theyre moving to get PC and Xbox content released at the same time.

I'm very okay with this approach. Between xCloud, the Xbox as a TV console, and Microsoft running Game Pass to give us PC games at the same time, this really feels like they're taking a very game centric approach to things this time around.

I wonder what kind of ray tracing support will the next gen consoles have?

From the AMD leaks PS5 will have accelerated RT with no dedicated cores. Series X is next gen rdna and has dedicated Hardware RT cores.

**shrike126** · May 10, 2020, 01:32 PM

It's not the graphics that I'm looking forward to but the loading from storage bandwidth. I want nice graphics, to be sure, but I think the more interesting possibilities will be opened up by being able to immediately transform whole worlds or extend sightlines to project big spaces they can't currently.
