They should make it so two XSS can be connected to be an XSX so you can buy an XSS if and upgrade later, instant LAN party if you split them, two controllers for split screen...
The possibilities are endless

The shiny new one to Xbox one X is Series X. This is the shiny new one to Xbox One S. The naming fixes the confusion
this is the current iphone lineup. regular people will be just fine.
I'm a regular person who doesn't keep up with the latest iPhone malarkey but if I wanted the best and newest iPhone in its best pocket-fitting size, I'd go with the 11 Pro. Did I do good?
€299 in France
299,99€ confirmed in France by head of Xbox France. So same price. Someone may update the title of the thread maybe ?
Yeah, that's a shame. Seems like if you value backwards compatibility Series X is the way to go.

exactly
it's the same everywhere you go, and everything you buy...
The One X is smaller in volume than the 360 E.so it's smaller than this model of 360?
Oh then $499 for the Series X. Again Microsoft subsidizing the Series S more because of the tied-in nature of a disc-less SKU.
if not teraflop measurements, then the boyz can do their playground wars. Reminds me of 'do the math' by Atari.
Well there would still be SSD speeds and the difference in RAM setup. Kids find a way, if these threads are anything to go by.
If I didn't try to shove a UHD drive in there, I would have been close! I got the power button and usb placements correctly at least.
The speaker vent is a bold move though lol.

It's a single measurement of one very specific operation. Which, as is demonstrated here, doesn't even translate with different architectures, let alone define console "''"power""'. It's been silly since the beginning. No developers (at least that I've met to date) talk about TF in the industry. There are so many different components that can lead to software running well in certain conditions or not.
Edit: obviously some developers would care about actual TF. I should have said "few" developers.
Of course there's more than TF. I put the that into account already. Saying that wiping the floor though is hilarious. They could be equal in GPU or XSS barely edged out in raw performance, but not much. RDNA isn't 2X as powerful as 2011 AMD GCN. Closer to 1.5x at best.
This is appealing to me as 1080p TV owner, but I keep thinking about what happens when I upgrade that TV? Am I going to have buyers remorse?
I have to give it to Microsoft for releasing a budget-friendly next-gen console. Not everyone can afford a $500 console, especially in most third-world countries. This with the addition of cheap gamepass is a ray of hope for those people!
It could run games at 4k...if you want them to look pretty much like what games look like on XboneX. realistically, a 2070 super is not a 4k card on PC, unless you want to run everything at 30 fps and cut back on effects such as dynamic shadows. Going forward this system should stick to 1080p mostly, unless the games are undemanding graphically. In that sense, it is a decent jump from the base consoles, particularly in terms of CPU and SSD
Of course TF matter - but as has been pointed out forever, it's not the only thing that matters, and "not all TF are created equal" depending on different efficiencies in the architecture, etc. PS5 and XSX are an apples to apples comparison GPU-wise, whereas the One X/PS4 are GCN-based.
Series S is using newer GPU technology. The One X GPU might have more teraflops but the technology is a generation behind the Series S GPU. Not to mention the Series S having the far superior I/O speeds and CPU performance.
Technically speaking, the TF doesn't matter. Series S is next generation, whereas the One X is not.
So basically the same features as XSX, but no disc drive and targeting 1080p?
Fucken hell, think I'm buying my first XBox.

Since Xbox France person confirmed its 299 Euros, it will likely just be 299 Pounds too.
Its been confirmed as 299,99€ so £270-300 for here depending on there take on the pound and vat
They should bring back this:
It's 299 for a reason.
They want you to purchase your games in the digital store.
So this is coming with a controller after all? What happened to the rumors that it wouldn't come with one lol
TF has been a very good way to compare different architectures for a while, that was the point - you can't compare clock speeds but TF worked. For 3D graphics, the number of floating point operations that can be done in a certain amount of time is extremely important. It's really only recently that optimizations have made it a less reliable comparison point. You can still use it but you may need to scale the value to have it match between two architectures.
