Lots of teases last week suggesting it was due as well , what a week for next gen news :D
It should be soon especially with the Road to PS5 blunder and Sony's weaker overall hardware showing. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce the price of Lockheart before the series X. I believe some of the rumors were that Lockheart would have a traditional set top box form factor and with the thermals not being a concern and no disc drive the box could be like a Xbone One X cut in half in terms of size.
Doesn't make any sense to have two consoles so close together performance wise.
It would be weird timing after the PS5 spec reveal. A Lockhart type console is probably weaker than a PS5 and lots of people will start comparing the PS5 and the Lockhart console which would be bad optics.
I doubt they would reveal anything about a weaker console variant unless Sony releases a price for the PS5 and the Lockhart is pretty close spec-wise and they can sell it for less than the PS5.

Exactly. I imagine it'll aim to deliver 1080p / 1440p resolutions, so anything around 4 TFLOPS should be fine. It's certainly an intriguing proposition. I'm leaning towards a PS5 but if Lockhart is real then I'll certainly buy one for GamePass alone.
Depends very much on the pricing of the SeX
(title of my sex tape)
Not happening. Would be too close to Anaconda in power, and all leaks and rumors currently point to a 4tf Lockhart.
yupp. For 1080p sans Raytracing this should be capable. Given they are using the same CPU and memory specs
If they want to sell more than this gen they better try hard.
bc and better specs didn't help them this gen so why should it magically do wonders next time.
Lockhart will help in the us/uk/etc. with price sensitive users. The rest of the world won't give a damn as is tradition but another try is the right way forward.
One X never was made to sell alot of units. MS said themself One S would easily sell more.
"Try hard"? They've done everything imaginable since they fucked up the xbox one launch.

If Lockhart is close to X in power, wouldn't X also be able to play most of the next Xbox games?
You mean PS5, the incredibly powerful console that will either cost the same if not less than the Xbox Series X?
Not seeing your logic here.
One X official price is now 399, i can't imagine it to get lower than 250 by November, so I don't think XSS can get any lower than 350, probably higher since thant thing is gonna have rdna2, an ssd, likely a powerful cpu etc
It's not about PS, it's about those people who don't care about high end graphics and just want to play their games decent. For me it makes sense to finally have two consoles of the same platform that address both target groups.
wacky left field theory: what if lockhart isn'ta console, but a pci e technology bridge for pc?
like 0 percent chance, but i have been hopping sony our ms would do something like that ( ssd, or at least the hardware decompression, 3d auto chip, and any other unique hardware that pcs don't have)

Is it bothering anyone else that devs will most likely have to work around the limitations of Lockhart going forwards?
This might benefit Sony in the long run given that their exclusives will probably look head and shoulders above everything else.

if MS can price the XSX the same as PS5 and since they have superior tech, maybe they don't need a cheapo machine?
Ah oke. It isnt tho. Lockhart is gonna be alot more powerful then One X.
CPU is a leap, Ram is a leap, SSD is a leap. Then you have the GPU with RDNA 2 wich you cant compare to One X GPU and cant compare Teraflops also. :)
I don't believe there should be any second version of the next generation Xbox.
But if they are the same price, PS5 wins based on exclusives alone.
And i look forward to my Series X on day 1. I want them to try as hard as they can.
But i still think it's not going to change the end result. It will sell better in the us/uk/etc. but not enough to beat Sony. The one time they almost did it, Sony fucked up badly and ms had nearly every advantage available to them. In the end they still couldn't beat Sony.
so again I wish them best of luck. I will enjoy my Series X with Game Pass.
imagine this thing is like, £100 to £150 cheaper than the PS5 and they sell it in such a way that it still appeals (games look great in 1080p, games can use cloud based whatever to do something cool etc), it could really sell well.
it might give them that sub £200 sales boost that consoles get many years down the line, but on day one
also of course microsoft's goal is gamepass/services rather than hardware profits so if they can ensnare more people then they're on to a winner
