Dropping this at 2:17 am [for me], even in response to it already being leaked, is just hysterical.

is it confirmed that it has the fancy dancy 1TB fast storage!? that seems crazy cheap for a box, controller, a slab of silicon and a super fast 1TB of storage.
Really like the industrial design, concept and price point, but Jesus the branding is a nightmare. Even as an enthusiast, I can hardly keep up with the hardware variations -- I think it's a big ask for casual buyers to know the difference between an Xbox One S, Xbox Series X, Xbox One X and an Xbox Series S. It's like Microsoft has taken five words and shuffled them into as many variations as possible.
...come on now. That's a really braindead take.
It's going to have different popularity among different demographics and income levels.
EU is everybody's enemy, we get shat on by both western and eastern companies!
The $299 pricing is likely the mic drop moment MS wanted to have by announcing it after Sony priced the PS5.
But looking at how the situation played out, they ended up getting their mic drop moment after all

but the one models are getting discontinued anyway. a new buyer looking to get into xbox will have two options: series s and series x.
ERP?
estimated retail price?
Shouldn't it be confirmed/set?
Just getting confused with the terminology lol
Targeting 1080p, interesting..

Official UK Price is £249
Ha classic, especially with the modern exchange rate and brexit still to come.
Agreed, there's gonna be some kids getting the wrong console for Christmas lol.
Just noticed that there's no disc drive, obviously laying it out as a GamePass machine. Considering that you can usually find deals on GP you could end up with a new console and a years worth of games for £300, crazy!
Might be a Christmas present for the boy!

Xbox One consoles aren't going even to be a factor on the market this holiday. The X is gone, Series S and X will be the one MS pushes the most.
So for someone who isn't super tech savvy...I have been planning on getting a PS5 this whole time, but Series S being only $300 I'll probably get that too.
My question is in regards to a new TV I'm going to buy. If I get a new TV with only one HDMI 2.1 port, and I use that for the PS5, is the Series S fine with just a normal HDMI port since it'll max at 1080p, or will Series S still take advantage of the HDMI 2.1 ports?

For the love of all that is holy can we please stop with this nonsense. All these 'casual' folks and parents can tell the difference between 6 different iPhones, iPads and Samsung phones every YEAR but they somehow cant figure out 4 different Xbox consoles? Come on now
Everyone should note that they are writing ERP (Estimated Retail Price) so they might still change it (even if unlikely).
No. You don't compress the system memory like that and SSD is like 140 times slower than GDDR6 and that's ignoring the latency.
He's the one that said the CPU was slower

Leaked Microsoft document hints at second next-gen Xbox
Microsoft has still not publicly acknowledged its Lockhart planswww.theverge.com
No it's speculation based on the fact that XSS has less game RAM than Xbox One X.
Windows 10 PCs already do this, and yes using virtual memory is much slower. It would be a compromise.
Perhaps 1.5 GB is a stretch for compression, and chances are they're already doing this as they've been doing it on Windows 10 PCs for years.
Edit - Corrected typo and made post clearer.

That would suck, as my only use for this console is backwards compatibility.
I expect 1800p-4K naitive AI upscaled to 8K for PS6/Xbox Next.
Great price. As a Dad to kids who are likely to be asking for new consoles over the next few years, I genuinely appreciate Microsoft doing this.
I added more. Youre saying people will consider jumping ship because the cheaper model doesn't have a disc drive instead of just getting the model that fits their need.
Why? They can't play those discs on PlayStation and it would mean leaving your library behind or hoping you rebuy it all on PlayStation. That sounds expensive.
Youre PC though...and that crowd left disc drives behind a long time ago.
Welp. I am a Gamepass Ultimate subscriber and i dont have any plans to focus on a 4k machine. This is the perfect price and power for me!
I know where it stems from. It's a silly measurement that not only doesn't mean much, but is now even actively confusing some people. Even in the perfect scenario of comparison, most people don't actually realize the real world difference of, say, PS5 vs Series X. It's nuanced enough that it would be hard to say exactly what on screen difference they will see. And yet it's thrown around as the monolithic "power" level.
Holy fuck at that price. Considering the specs hardware (edit: yes I realise specs is the wrong word) in it are the EXACT same as the XSX and PS5, MS is doing some magic shit with numbers. That will translate to about $399AUD which is not bad at all.

They're writing that because, iirc, in Europe you're not allowed to set fixed prices to retailers.
Amazing price, almost making me second-guess my decision to go for Series X. HotUKDeals are already getting excited.
