Official XBOX Series X thread

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

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.

:nuts:
 
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 :lol: 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. :lol:

Yeah, after I mentioned that I looked around and found some renders of the Xbox Series X approximating the size, and if they're even close to accurate, this is a big bitch. It won't fit in my entertainment center.

Some are saying it's probably a little smaller than it looks like it is here, but even still, that thing is THICC.

In a sense it's not surprising, it's what a 12 terraflop machine with a high-ish (for a console) end AMD CPU, and a SSD etc and it's probably (better have) the PSU also inside.

They're not going to make a tiny machine with that level of power and cooling as well. Sony seem to be better at making smaller machines, but I imagine the PS5 will be fairly large too.
 
So is Microsoft converging PC and Xbox?

So that PC is the one where you can do wahtevers to it, while the xbox is just the thing where you want to set it and forget it?

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.
 
Who is naming these consoles? Xbox One was a terrible name, for obvious reasons. Xbox One X was probably the worst console name so far. But they have really managed to outdoor themselves this time. Series X? Really?

I believe mr. spencer has already been quoted as saying he will not sacrifice performance for price?

There's going to be a 2nd cheaper machine that will by current rumors be slower than the X in GPU (4TF vs 6TF) but have the advantage of the new CPU and other features.

While the expensive machine will be the 12TF beast and I imagine will be 600 or more. No way that version will be 400.
