Important notes:

1. It's a beast
2. Senua Saga has been in development since before the acquisition
3. The new controller is slightly smaller with an improved dpad.
4. The console is about 12" by 6" (I calculated using controllers for scale as given) and can be used vertically and horizontally.
5. It's super quiet.
6. E3 will be huge next year, and their goal is to showcase games first and foremost.
7. The goal is to be the most powerful and immersive console on the market.
Edit:
8. 1000s of games across Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Xbox. All Xbox One accessories work (not sure about 360, sorry)
9. The new controller can be used with PC and Xbox One too.
10. You can suspend and resume multiple games at once.

...most immersive, but no VR support?

 

[theme park joe]

"Immersive" console. What does that even mean? God I hate that term.

 

[Spectromixer]

anyone else getting a certificate error on the link?

 

[R dott B]

I was going to skip it but hot damn I might get it for the bedroom.

 

[Dennis8K]

- immersive

- no VR

 

[Kawngi]

Glad it can be horizontal!

In this instance, better graphics, less input lag, better controller coverage and more quiet fan.

 

[kubev]

Any word on the extra button on the controller? Dedicated share button, from the looks of it?

EDIT: Ah, yes, that's what it is.

 

[Stixitnu]

I can't immerse myself in a console

 

[Atheerios]

...most immersive, but no VR support?

Click to shrink...

Most people don't care about VR.

 

[CloseTalker]

Can't wait, i'm sold

 

[Jessie]

But does Minecraft have raytracing

 

[modiz]

But how can you be "most immersive" without VR?

 

[Relix]

anyone else getting a certificate error on the link?

Click to shrink...

Can't read shit due to this.

 

[ciddative]

Would MS know the final PS5 specs by now?

Seems maybe premature to use "fastest" and "most powerful" in promotion this far out

Also if the logo doesn't rotate, pack it in Sony won

 

[Deleted member 58832]

Yes but what the people (me) really want to know is the scope of backwards compatibility. I still have a good chunk of games locked to my 360.

 

[Kawngi]

Any word on the extra button on the controller? Dedicated share button, from the looks of it?

Click to shrink...

Yeah they confirmed it's a Share button

 

[zombiejames]

Horizontal use is good but even then I don't think it would fit in my setup.

 

[Deleted member 9317]

. The console is about 12" by 6" and can be used vertically and horizontally.

Click to shrink...

*Xbox 360 nightmares intensifies.*

 

[Tokyo_Funk]

Immersive is super vague without examples.

I hate marketing jargon.

 

[SunBroDave]

6x12 inches is not bad at all

 

[DeoGame]

1000s of games across Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Xbox. All Xbox accessories work.

 

[MrBob]

No big controller upgrade it seems.

 

[tapedeck]

Killer.

Instinct.

4.

Click to shrink...

Not bad. That initial pic made it look way bigger, lol.

 

[Jarrod38]

Yeah they confirmed it's a Share button

Click to shrink...

Yep and I hope they rework, retool, revamp Upload Studio because good god that thing sucks.

 

[Deleted member 864]

Well, at least it can be placed horizontally.

 

[Psychotic_Mantis]

I was hoping for more information on the backward compatibility With all systems. Does this mean just the games they got working on Xbox one or will this be complete backward compatibility?

 

[qatak]

12x6x6! what a weird size. I wonder what kind of fan and cooling tech is in there.

 

[Super Barrier]

Still aiming to be the most powerful. Let's see how this turns out.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Hmm, sexy beast. Want. Will try to wait a bit and stick with X1X. We'll see.

 

[nihilence]

Smaller controller?

 

[Lashes.541]

Yes but what the people (me) really want to know is the scope of backwards compatibility. I still have a good chunk of games locked to my 360.

Click to shrink...

Yes that was announced months ago lol.

 

[G_Shumi]

The console is about 12" by 6" and can be used vertically and horizontally.

Click to shrink...

I knew it. Good! That console looked really tall.

 

[Cien]

it can be horizontal. now we can stop the concern trolling about how it cant fit into an entertainment center.

 

[Mad_Titan86]

Most people don't care about VR.

Click to shrink...

Most people dont know what they are missing.

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

SUPER QUIET.


Thank jesus

 

[FlashFlooder]

What exactly does he mean by "immersive?"

Click to shrink...

corporate SYNERGY!!!!!

 

[jon bones]

Day 1, baby.

 

[kubev]

"Immersive" console. What does that even mean? God I hate that term.

But how can you be "most immersive" without VR?

Click to shrink...

Probably by putting you in the game faster. I assume that this has a lot to do with the SSD to minimize loading times and to reduce the overall amount of time you're using the system menu (as it'll presumably be more responsive).

Xbox one. C'mon now it's that difficult.

 

[Deleted member 58832]

Yes that was announced months ago lol.

Click to shrink...

Yes I know it'll have what's currently backwards compatible, what I'm asking is at what point are they expanding the program? Will it play all of my not-BC games out of the gate? (Probably not but I'd like confirmation either way)

 

[N.Domixis]

Still aiming to be the most powerful. Let's see how this turns out.

Click to shrink...

I'm thinking it's literally going to come to the last decimal place

 

[LBsquared]

Did he admit they named it that so people would abbreviate it Xbox SeX?

 

[liquidmetal14]

Rise my 6 Xbox 360 controllers lol

Click to shrink...

And my 7 XB1S pads 😳😳😳😳😳😳

No

Concern trolling? Even horizontal, this thing is as tall as a healthy A/V receiver...
