Xbox One S has additional CPU/GPU power, games can look and run better

no one. what's bad about that? I guess I don't get your original point

Can't be that much different in terms of power. Maybe 10-20% faster at most, overall.
On par with PS4, perhaps? That would be an ideal goal for them.

Well, you'll be able to buy the old model for a much better price, particularly with bundled games so I'm sure some people will opt for it.
I just sold my fat Xbox One, there will still be a market for cheap fat Ones.

Devkits will still probably use original XB1 specs.
At best you'll get 10-15% clock bumps. So >2GHz CPU and >1GHz GPU. They won't be something that will massively close the gap between the XB1 and PS4, but XB1 games will run much smoother on the S.

Yep. A Slim in August/September for UHD Blu-ray support and the Scorpio next year to move the Slim to my bedroom and become the main entertainment center piece.

I was considering it. But I think I will just get PS4 Neo. My launch Xbox One is working flawlessly, no reason that thing will give up anytime soon. So I will just to directly Scorpio next year.
I would buy both if I had the money.

I might. I'll see if there are any trade up deals anywhere.

No I will not, I'm going to save money for a 4K TV and a strong new PC for the next year (I already have the money for the Scorpio)

Yep, I'll definitely be buying the slim for Gears 4 and FH3. Then depending on how Scoprio looks, I'll either sell the slim and get the scorpio or just keep the slim and still get the scorpio. Either way, right now, I will have an xbox one for those two amazing looking games.
Maybe. Though I have a decent PC, most of my friends are on Xbox One so Microsoft going Win10 isnt really going to help me if I want to play something like Destiny with them. We'll see if third parties are tempted to go crossplay. The S kills two birds with one stone, I'll sell my current X1 and my Samsung 4K player for it.
Huh? You said they would be shouting it from the rooftops, I say it will hurt the sales of the current model, you ask how so and... Well.
Sure. I mean there are people who still buy a 360 or a ps3.

It has both Bluetooth and Xbox 2.4 wireless connection

Curious to see if this benefits backwards compatible titles in the frame rate department.
Smaller, white, and internal power is enough to sway me, just so long as it's still quiet.

I thought they removed the Kinect port? Wait, is that just a USB port? Can you connect the Kinect (heh) via USB?

Nah. Doesn't seem like it's enough of a power bump to mention and Ben get people's expectations to high.
A slightly more stable Framerate here and then will be imperceivable to most.

If I had the chance I would. But otherwise I gotta save money.
I have halo 5 edition. Am getting Scorpio hour 0 and thinking of getting S.
The Kinect port has HIGHLY LIKELY a higher amperage, so the Kinect gets enough juice.

Come on, don't be obtuse. Of course it exists, but this isn't some big huge noteworthy feature, nor is this an "Xbox One.5" as he was talking about. This probably won't even match the PS4. It's an Xbox One, just with a spec boost so modest they didn't even mention it out loud during it's announcement at a massive press event.

Honestly don't see the point from my perspective. I'm already sold on the Scorpio so no reason for me to drop the cash on an S.
I'll sell my OG Xbox One and use that to get an S and will definitely have enough to buy a Scorpio late into 2017.

That is my theory as well

Not me. Mild spec boost is nice, but not worth the upgrade when I can wait a year for a real upgrade. I can deal with a few more resolution drops in Gears 4 in the meantime. And I probably won't even get Scorpio at launch. I'm guessing that even if it does get exclusives, it won't be anything high profile for quite a while. Thinking I'll just hold out for the inevitable Halo 6 special edition so I can finally own a limited edition home console, lol.
It soubds like it's just slightly higher clocked or something. Not something most will notice.

Currently yes (on PC), but you need an adapter that you must buy from Microsoft :

They said that people upgrading from One to One S could ask for a free adapter from MS.
But it would be great if a new revision of Kinect would be USB only...

Phil said in the interview with Major Nelson that it has a built in IR blaster for people without Kinect and those that do can still connect it. The Kinect plug is different so will it come with an adapter? Or will you have to buy that separately?
Edit:
Oh ok thanks.

Sheeeeeit. By the time Scorpio is out that's all I'll need to see.
You can order the Kinect => USB Adapter via xbox.com for free.

They would probably like that, gives them an excuse to make more videos.
Does the PC version of the Kinect use USB? That would make sense.
Ah, okay cool, thanks for the info. Yeah, as someone who just bought an Xbox One without a Kinect, I really would like to try it and given how much they seem to have upgraded the system, I'd love to see a similar treatment for Kinect. I think even that name is probably considered toxic at MS now though.
Edit:
Ah right, of course there had to be a way. Derp.
It's business. Mistakes were made and they're moving past them. Most gamers aren't invested in console wars or Gaf gaming drama.
