Decisions, decisions. I do have a X but spend most of my time playing games on my PC. Next year it’ll be a case of buy a series X or upgrade the Vega 56 in my PC. There’s a 2700 cpu in it so I’ll not be touching that for a while. I enjoy the high frame rates on my 1440p Acer monitor but have the X hooked up to a LG B8 OLED. Graphically on an OLED what the X can output is staggering at times. Then you move and the reality of 30fps kicks in. Expensive year next year it seems. It’s one or the other, I don’t have the time anymore to have multiple gaming devices.

I love the design. Still, with the efforts MS are making to release all their exclusives on PC the same day as the Xbox, theres little reason to get the console going forward.
Will see how it goes.
They need to overhaul the user interface, it's a disgrace on the current cycle

I like it, the names a bit naff but I'll definitely be replacing the Xbox One X with this, whether that's day one or not I'm not sure, normally like to hang fire and see what the crack is first.
To me, the name strongly suggests the multiple SKU rumour is real. It's an odd name, unless there's an Xbox Series S as well.
I think it looks great. But the only way I'm ditching PC for one of these is if they can run Windows and PC (i.e. Steam) games. And I think that's highly unlikely.

Indeed, my first thoughts were the same regarding SKUs
I really hope that not it as how that thing going to fit on an AV stand
The new button on the Xbox controller is equivalent to DualShock 4 "SHARE".
Or can you lay it on it side
I just got my measuring tape out. Dayum, that is pretty damn small.

Apparently it can be laid on its side too.

At the end of the day folks. You don't look at the mantelpiece when you're poking the fire.
Yeah not that big at all and if you look at the xbox controller in the picture it's like three of those long and around the same width.
Yes. And yes.I really hope that not it as how that thing going to fit on an AV stand

might grab one this year. (Skipped on the X)
There is one USB port on the front - USB A not C - which the controller is covering in the pic. You can see it in the YouTube video though.

Actually, what would cost more?
Get a Xbox One Series X, or the money used on that get a GPU that is much better than that in the Series X when it's released?

It's personal. Do you like the foibles and advantages of PC gaming or do you want a system with no messing about - just plug and play? I'm leaning towards the latter lately especially as the SSD next-gen will equal one of the big plus points of PCs. Plus for me, 4K60 on console is good enough. I don't envisage going higher on PC until 8K TVs are cheap as chips.

Love the design and will be buying both consoles.
Just need to decide the sweet spot for offloading the Pro and the X
I'd do it now for Xmas but still got games I'm playing on both and until its concrete what will be BC and not will hold on.

Another interesting thing mentioned in the GameSpot interview - they are working so that you can pause and resume more than one game. I guess that's the benefit of an SSD, you can dump the memory into a hibernation file in a minute or so.

Having had the One X I went straight back to PC, I do prefer PC, but I am also cost orientated. So if I had to spend more on a GPU that was just a bit better than the Series X but costing more it seems a no brainer to go console again
