Few people I have spoke to in the know have said it’s going to be called “Xbox Kuro”... We will see.....

Why would they pick that? Unless they want to appease more to the Japanese market. Xbox Black.

No idea just a rumour going round. No idea if true or not.

Funny you should mention that, Phil talked about the naming today. Though I agree with the other poster in that Kuro doesn't make sense to me but who knows.

“Our naming convention has been around what we think the capabilities are... Xbox 360 was about the entertainment experience around the box and the box being in the center of that entertainment experience. Xbox One, if you remember our branding early on, was ‘always on input, all in one’. Those names were really built around the purpose of the box... I don’t feel like I need to follow in their footsteps because they’re kind of self-contained.”

Xbox Cloudbuster then. Kumo is the Japanese word for cloud. It's very similar sounding to kuro.

 

[LiamJ]

I wouldn't be surprised if the name is something ridiculously cloud related, as that is such a big focus of next gen. Maybe "Stratus" or "Nimbus" or something equally ridiculous.

Pioneer Kuro Xbox Kuro

Beautiful. I look forward to the complete destruction of GPU pricing next year if those specs are true.

I can't see that happening as a console is not a PC

Here we go guys and gals!

The new button on the Xbox controller is equivalent to DualShock 4 "SHARE".

 

[LiamJ]

A few interesting bits of info in the article. New controller looks good. Also that the console can be used either horizontal or vertical is a feature is actually absurd.

 

[ic1male]

Yeah, I'm really glad they didn't change the controller too much. The Xbone pad is just perfect in my opinion. Although the new D-pad looks horribly like the janky 360 one, even if it is based on the Elite controller. But I've never seen one of those so I don't know what it's like.

 

[ic1male]

And the first example of what Xbox Series X can do with Hellblade II.

 

[Supercow]

So a mini tower PC?!
Looks sick though

 

[Mark1989]

Looks nice but a stupid name that could potentially confuse customers like wii and Wii u did

Sounds more like an Nvidia GPU.

It's the same as the Elite disc dpad, but with a different design on it.

 

[BMox81]

It's a big old glorified PC with an Xbox logo on it lets be honest.

It will still sell millions no doubt but yeah, not a fan of that design to be honest.

Over to you Sony....

 

[Yas786]

Lol I thought it was some sort of joke when they announced it lol.

But looks like it isn’t, so it’s a mini pc tower sort of console. Looks interesting, I’ll have to have a look and see just how big it is before I decide to upgrade from my Xbox one x.

If the PS5 looks anything like the dev kits that were leaked a few weeks back then that is one fugly looking console.
But will be interesting to see what the new PlayStation looks like ie the final product.
