Xbox Series X announced (formerly Project Scarlett)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
But to me that would imply that games that are available on Series X will also work on the Xbox One. But it's a new generation.
Plus, if we're using that comparison, Xbox X sounds better than Xbox Series X, just like iPhone XS sounds better than iPhone Series XS.
all i could think about was xbox one x when i saw the name.
congrats to MS for this surprise reveal though. people didnt expect it to be shown here instead of e3 or a specific event so this was surprising

Next gen is going to be super interesting. Last time around, there were huge differences in approach with the two systems, and it allowed Sony to become a huge leader due to sticking to traditions.
This time around, this is an extremely traditional system. Is Sony going to try new things and risk failing, or are they going to stick to a traditional console like PS4, leading to two very similar consoles?
Can't wait to see what happens.

Terrible name what in the fuck?, and the design of the console is hideous looks like a gaming PC (never liked the design of those). I could tell the graphics in the small snippet of actual gameplay in the Hellblade II trailer that it doesn't look that much more better over what we have now but then again it was dark, maybe the difference is more notable during day time. And I wasn't expecting a huge difference between what we have now and next gen, TBH the new GearBox game looks more impressive to me graphically speaking.
That has only happened with a die shrink. If the APU goes below 7nm at some point then sure.
If we're going with "it looks like a PC," it looks far more like a business PC than a gaming PC.
Well firstly they gotta decide if the going traditional console aesthetics or follow this tower route for ideal airflow
The codenames never stick but 'Xbox Scarlett' sounded really nice. Feels like their naming team is trolling, never thought you could out-stupid 'Xbox One' but Xbox One X to Xbox Series X did it.
I love the mini PC formfactor, but it really brought to mind how cool it would be if it could dual-boot Windows ala PS3/Linux. Getting the console plus a powerful desktop PC for VR freedom would be a killer offer.

It better have the power brick built in with that massive sizeHere is a handy size comparison assuming the dimensions in OP are accurate.:
The design looks cool as hell. Hopefully they pull it off with software, which I found wholly lacking this generation from Microsoft.
The fact that it's a tall console with an odd green glowing light at the top has me thinking; what if they're also attempting to hit the Google Home/Amazon Alexa crowd? The best part of the Kinect was the voice activation.
Making the XSX a central part of the living room with a Cortana voice command/speaker would be an interesting point of difference to the other platforms on top of power. Just saying "Xbox Play Hellblade 2" and it streams it immediately from XCloud (while downloading it in the background) would be really neat.

Didn't Phil say the name will go with the next box capabilities? Like 360, as the all round media box. Xbox one as the only one you need. Series x is just a name with no "deeper" meaning, or have I missed something?
i think just with the name alone, ps5 will be the one to get for clueless parents next holidays. Ps5 just is a clear and simple name, make it clear this is a successor.
Xbox one, xbox one s, Xbox one x, Xbox series X might be a bit too confusing for first time buyers imo. Doesn't sound like next gen at all, but more like another addition to the Xbox one family

Well, damn. I'm a fan of the design aesthetic but if the size estimations are correct this thing won't fit in my tv unit. That's not a practical design.

Wow, biggest console ever in terms of volume? No way that will fit into anyone's tv cabinet.
Isn't it 12x6x6?Here is a handy size comparison assuming the dimensions in OP are accurate.:
Many folks will struggle to place this, it's abit of an issue.Here is a handy size comparison assuming the dimensions in OP are accurate.:
Really like the change in design. Consoles need to start looking unique again.
Super confusing name, though.
Super confusing name, though.
Triggers are textured, bumpers more pronounced, underside where the batteries go on the one controller is more streamlined for better ergonomics. Added share button, 8way dpad. Controller is slightly smaller than a one controller.
Name breaks for me when calling it Xbox sx... feels like having a lisp.
Now that is brilliant, but I am also still baffled by confusing naming conventions for the third generation in a row now. 360 grew on me eventually but One is, was, and will forever be straight bad.
Yes, that's the dimensions I used for the cube object representing it in the images.
Confusing name for some people, feels like Wii - Wii U in some ways.
PC form factor, i Imagine for dissipation reasons. Navi can be pretty toasty.
