Tonight's leak apart, this might be the worst kept secret in the whole history of the industry. It's absurd how people knew about Lockhart and Series S since years ago.
Anyways, fantastic price for a next gen console, this will SELL.

Waaaaay more powerful than Xbox One S and X. It's a Series X but for 1080p gaming.
I kinda like the black fan in this lighting. Gives it its own little visual quirk and isn't like ostentatious or anything. But the contrast is blown out a bit so who knows.
More powerful than both.
It really does look small. This price point is going to be attractive for a lot of people this holiday.
Still going with the thicc Series X.

Great price. Not interesting for people with 4k tv but for most of the general public it's a great deal.
I will need two Xbox série. For my bedroom and living room. But I have a 77cx and 65c9..... so I'll take two série x. (And also I mostly need uhd player in both room)

Wow, sounds like a solid price-point. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this!
This could be a solid 1440p machine, I've found that resolution scales pretty well to 4K displays!

The rumoured 4 teraflops of the Xbox Series S is just a bit over what could be required to run games at a quarter of the resolution that the Xbox Series X runs them at, this could be used to provide the headroom to achieve this comfortably, or it could possibly be used to run games at slightly higher resolution than 1080p, alternatively this power could be used for things such as higher quality anti-aliasing. Realistically 1440p could possibly be targeted with more comfort with a 5.31 TF GPU, and 4 TF may be pushing it. It depends on how GPU bound a game is.
Dynamic resolution scaling could be used to help games target resolutions higher than 1080p when possible, and this machine will also likely run Xbox One X enhanced titles even better, so you could potentially be looking at 4K resolutions for last generation titles, and 1080p-1440p for current generation games depending on how GPU bound they are.
Official news of the Xbox Series S is just coming to light after months of rumours, it would be nice to see an increase in teraflops to the 5TF range which could bring 1440p gaming with it closer to reality. Shortly before the Xbox One launched it received a slight boost in power, this would be nice to see once again for the rumours specs of this machine.

Indeed, it most likely will be that for current generation games, hopefully it will be able to run Xbox One X enhanced titles even better.

I think I'm in the same camp as you.
If I sell my One X I guess that would make this a very worthwhile upgrade at a decent price.
By TFLOPS only yes, but the GPU is more modern, and the CPU and Storage are so ahead of the One X it's not funny.
Substantially more powerful than the Xbox One X, but not designed for 4k. Aimed at 1080p.
Does that confirm it comes with a controller. I think some were speculating based on reports that they might try and drop it to lower the cost?
I don't check Resetera before sleep, like normal, and wake up in the middle of the night to this news storm. Crazy! Even crazier it's now officially confirmed!
Do we know that for a fact? We know the architecture is different than both, but actual power? It's TBD, right?
Haha and people thought this was a controlled leak by MS to trick Sony into naming their price, only for MS to then claim their own leak was false, and then announce pricing lower than Sony. Sometimes what you think is 4d chess is just some third party advertiser employee leaking slides.
