Xbox Series X announced (formerly Project Scarlett)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Ive always been whatever about how consoles look, but the controller seems good. But man that name seems a bit confusing on Wii U levels, just my personal opinion though i can already see it considering i work in retail.
Where the hell do I put it? I was saving that section in the bottom for it :( What an awful design.
Outstanding 🙏🏻🤣
Eventually, sure. Fairly sure they're gonna want an Xbox at every price point for at least the next year though. Post Series X launch
Next major event is E3 and they likely wanted to beat Sony to the punch. Not enough to put together a solo announce around it, think about how bad the PS4 Pro reveal was. I think it's a good move personally.
it seems like they're going to try to have those too, regardless of their track record with them in the past. are you really saying you'd be more interested if it were significantly less powerful than the ps5?
If the Lockhart beats the X I cant see it being above it in price
They do not care if you buy their hardware, if you're playing their games on PC they're happy.
I hear ya, though it really seems like they're going after the pre-built brand name gaming PC market with this box.
the pro is a mid gen refresh+ (as was x1x)
this is the next console. Its just here but ... there's nothing to it in terms of games exclusive and the sort of hype a console launch has. Seems like the xbox generation just rolled to the next phase. Not the next console.
From a Verge article;
"Microsoft isn't talking GPU performance specifics just yet, but Spencer has dropped some hints in an interview with Gamespot, and the graphics you see in the Hellblade 2 trailer were supposedly captured in a game engine, running on the console, in real-time. "We wanted to have a dramatic upgrade from the Xbox One base console," says Spencer. "So when we do the math, we're over eight times the GPU power of the Xbox One, and two times what an Xbox One X is." The Xbox One X is 6 teraflops of GPU performance, so the Xbox Series X could be capable of 12 teraflops."
"GameSpot also says the console is roughly as wide as Xbox One controller and roughly three times as tall."

No mention of internal battery in the updated controller, right? I would imagine that would have been a talking point in the article.
That makes me happy. I was fearful that with the Elite S2 they would update their regular next-gen controllers to include a internal battery, which I absolutely do not want.

"I want the Xbox Series X?
"The Xbox One X?
"Not the original Xbox X, the new Xbox X"
"Not the Original Xbox, so the Xbox One?"
"No, that's the first Xbox, the Xbox One is the third Xbox, and I want the fourth Xbox, the Xbox Series X"
"... Sooo the Xbox One X?"

Having just built my first gaming PC I'm more excited to see them potentially pushing their 1st party titles to a much higher degree since I can just play them on my PC.
I'm not bothered by the design though, it makes sense given the much better components involved. PC parts on the spec level they're chasing won't fit in a traditional small box.

Those drink coasters are trash. Try harder!Will be tough to find a place on mine.
Will totally ruin the vibe.
but the argument is that consoles are becoming like phones, and "product + number" is a phone thing. "product + number + pro" is also a phone thing.
Sure, ps has never done real names besides playstation. but that's starting to become more intentional and less just "how it happens to be"
Weird how we just keep having to explain this over and over and over and over and over and over and over
Very cool design. I was not a fan of the original Xbox or 360 or original Xbox One designs, but the Xbox One S/X and now this look great.
I really like the design. It looks powerful and should fit in most setups. It's possible it could be good at cooling if the console is a bit larger as it seems. Not loving the name though. It sounds too similar to the Xbox One X. It's fine though I don't really care either way.
Did the xbox have "names"? 360, One.. hows that any different than playstation 2? Its numbers after a name. Its still a name lol.
I think Xbox Series is the platform
And the systems are gonna be callled Xbox Series Whatever
