Interesting how there's no mention of advanced haptic feedback on the controller like PS5. I wonder if that means multiplat devs won't bother incorporating it much/half ass it since it's just for PS5 (kind of like the touchpad).

With this design, I think it's dead on arrival.

I can't imagine the average gamer buying this truck to put in his/her living room...
The "average gamer" they're most likely catering to here are the type of people that buy lifted trucks and SUVs so
 
As surprising as the reveal was it was also a bizarre venue to make the announcement.

I thought Phil was about to take over and turn the first half hour into the xbox show but then it just sort of moved onto the next thing. Was this their attempt at a gotcha like the Wired PS5 announcement?

Not sure the hype wave is going to get very big with all these mini reveals happening over the span of 1.5 years..

The name pretty much tells me they consider the One X part of the nextgen package...

Yeah, there's just no way I would keep that thing in my living room. Tower PCs are just unacceptable. No joke. The "consoles are just PCs now" guys got it right I guess.

Xbox already used all the hapitic feedback talk when they launched the Xbox one controller so no need to talk about it.
 
Not feeling the design at all for this. This shit doesn't look portable. Definitely going to get a PS5 first and wait until the make a smaller and more portable version of the series X.
Are you literally incapable of picking up a rectangular object or something?! Wtf do you mean it isn't portables? Wait who tf said consoles are meant to be portable?!

The xbox one controller doesn't have all the new features that the PS5 controller does though. These new ones seem more directly relevant to gameplay.
 
Did you see the PS5? Lol

Also portable. WTF why does this matter?

Having a QUIET console on the living room is MUCH MUCH MUCH more important that portability. I don't need a JET ENGINE in my living room. And the PS5 is definitely going To be a fucking JET ENGINE.

Yeah ps5 dev kit looks better than this un stylish pc tower.
 
Am i the only one who doesnt care what consoles look like?. I mean i have always like tha boxy look of some consoles, so i dont mind how Scarlett looks, but i also wouldnt care anyway. I care about the games, not what the console looks like.

At least with the PS5 you can be like the Mandolorian and fly away with your Jet(Ps5) pack.
calm down, I own the JATO PS4 Pro already
 
It's ugly as heck guys.
Well, not as ugly as previous ones, but hell, looks like they are still lacking in design. Specs are the same as PS5. There is nothing new in hardware front. AMD provides the same silicon to each party. Controller is as ugly as a bastard demon from hell, and it is not comfy at all. My hands will hurt.

I think XboxOne X looks sleek, similar to a normal fat-PS2.
 
It's not bad. My thing is it seems like another half step in terms of the branding. I understand the concept of keeping it similar, but there doesnt seem to be enough separation from X1X for most people to get excited. It looks like a 2020 X1X. Keep it simple/if it ain't broke don't fix it. I get all that.

But if ps5 can show off something that screams next level(while familiar) and also has similar backward compatibility features for the same price, I think it will Sony an unforseen edge just in terms of appearance. Not to mention all the other advantages.

that green light going to be very distracting at night. also rdna 1.0 does not support raytracing on hardware level, first xbox i like as my pc is matx of similar size, bit wider. Have to assume, on the bottom is the intake fan, blowing air to the top.

But if the PCB is tiny, mounted on one of the side panels, 15cm by 15cm. What´s up with all the extra space? They´re not just realsing a real pc with xbox overlay? This seems more like Lockhart to me, the 4TFlops variant.

Im trying to imagine the interieur, where goes the harddrive (again non removable?) and a built in psu?
 
Name is fucking stupid and it looks like a tower desktop PC. Not even a console. My goodness. Amazing how Microsoft screws up names and the look especially since Xbox One Slim/X look great. SMH.

I agree Microsoft's names make no sense.

If I want to carry around my console since I travel a bit. Who the fuck wants to carry around a PC tower lol.

who the fuck wants to carry around a console? I mean you make it sound like between putting a ps4/xbox into a suitcase and stuffing it with cables, accessories and games wasnt already a hassle. This really doesnt seem any different, just the volume of space has been shifted a bit.
 
Comparing with the controller sitting next to X its like 3 controllers put together. That is extremely small, slick , sexy design AF of the new beast X.

I smell $399 with huge losses in the beginning obviously, it will sell hawt🔥 like bavarian cream at DD..its easily a $799-899 machine?
 
I don't know why people are saying it's huge - if the disc slot is the same size as the one on the Xbox One (which seems likely since the media is still 12cm optical discs) and the controller is the same size then the overall dimensions are going to be something like 13x13x25 cm = 4225cm^3

The Xbox One X is 30x24x6cm = 4320cm^3

So almost exactly the same volume.

And, for reference, the PS4 Pro is 29.5x29.5x5.5cm = 4786cm^2

Right now I can carry my PS4 (oG) my laptop, and my switch in my knapsack. That doesn't look like the case with this.
 
I was expecting something in similar fashion to X1X, but this tower design seriously throws me off. It's way too tall to put it right in front/below the TV, unless it hangs on the wall high enough, not to mention it will surely love to fall over when my cats will be chasing each other near by. I'd much more likely prefer something like a Louqe Ghost S1 - same capacity, MUCH better looking design and functionality.

PS. And I have to say, after all the hype Spencer and Co. were building throughout the year, randomly releasing a trailer, just like that, all of a sudden, instead of proper presentation on a big conference killed the entire hype for me, it's like wellthereitis.gif...
