Xbox Series X announced (formerly Project Scarlett)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Same, dude.Yeah bro I'm having the same problem. Where do I put this thing?!
(more seriously, based on the relative size of the controller i just checked and the cubby where my launch 'bone is sitting is just barely big enough, probably only an inch or less of space overhead. this really does seem like it's intended to be treated more like a miniature PC tower than anything else)
The name does not jive with me
I feel "series x" makes it seem like it's the first of something more. It does not instill buying confidence. Makes it sound like there will be a new "series/hardware" a year later.
Xbox Unity sounds good to me. Backwards and forwards compatible, the hub of all things xbox in one.

what? Lol
It's pretty clear in the picture is the width of an Xbox controller
I might be blind, I've read the article twice and I'm still missing it. Only thing I see related to orientation is
" To Spencer's point, the Series X design makes sense from an engineering standpoint. In an effort to make the console "disappear" into your entertainment center, Microsoft designed it to be as quiet as possible: with a single, large fan pushing high volumes of air out of the top. "
Are we sure its going to be $499? I thought they were aiming for $399 this time.
I can see it at that price. I'll take it. There's going to be multiple consoles, right? Let the poors have their lower specs. Give me the X.
I was delighted to discover that as details started to become clear in other threads as well. I had feared that the vertical orientation was part of the thermal design for the system. Presumably they'll hear similar concerns often enough that we'll see it promoted in both orientations in the future.
Xbox Series X will be our fastest, most powerful console ever and set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility, allowing you to bring your gaming legacy, thousands of games from three generations and more forward with you. Its industrial design enables us to deliver four times the processing power of Xbox One X in the most quiet and efficient way, something that is critically important in delivering truly immersive gameplay. We also designed Xbox Series X to support both vertical and horizontal orientation. It's bold and unique, very much like our fans around the world and the team of collaborators and innovators who built it.
For those who dislike the design, what specifically don't you care for? Just the size or the actual shape?
I personally like simple, minimalistic tech like this. I wouldn't want some ugly, angular thing that screams "gamer" like a Razor or Alienware product. This thing looks clean as hell.
Name sucks, though.

In name mostly. Form factor I need to see more shots of it.
I'm assuming Series X will be 499, One X will stay 399, and the 4TF Lockhart will probably be 299.
I can't see Xbox One X still going for $399 a year from now.
I predict $499 and $299 (Lockhart)
The name Xbox Series X obviously implies another Xbox.
Game over, man.
And there it is. Now I know why the Game Cube didn't sell. Nobody here could fit it in their entertainment centers.
I tried to get some boxes/magazines together to emulate the approximate height (imagine depth less). It lacks a Feng Shui for sure:
The general talk around Era was 299$ for Lockhart and 499$ for Anaconda. 399$ was the talk around PS5 as far as I know.
Looks like it, will be interesting. 599$ historically hasn't taken off in the console space.
I'm glad they finally realized that the new controller needs a Share button on it, though it's weird that it took so long.
I don't see Xbox One X and Lockhart being the same price if One X outclasses it. But we'll see.
Now this is based.I tried to get some boxes/magazines together to emulate the approximate height (imagine depth less). It lacks a Feng Shui for sure:

You can shove the two controllers down somewhere.
Dude come on now.
Still think the name might cause issues. I like the name but they're definitely tip toeing I to WiiU territory.
They should probably clear the channel of One S and One X console well before this thing releases.

Where the hell do I put it? I was saving that section in the bottom for it :( What an awful design.

I'm dead
SFFPC's are for enthusiasts, not the mass market. I do love my Ghost, though.
I don't see Xbox one X staying on the market I fully expect they cut it and drop the lockhart version in at the price it would be at that time so 299 or 349
yeah, probably. I think they think they can do that since they also have a cheaper version.
