If you have a 55inch TV you have place for any form and dimension of a console

I really quite like it, and I'd happily say unless it's an absolute eyesore, console design means nothing
No they won't, Lockhart will probably be peanuts and Scarlett will be 500

Don't think so dude, that would make the elite controller and the third party "pro controller" market obsolete.

That's certainly how it worked for Sony in 2013. Everything they did was a reaction to Microsoft's debacle.

Do you really think people are going to accept not being able to put a console in a space they currently can put the XBox One S/X in comfortably? Microsoft just designed themselves out of media cabinets to claim th power throne. Yikes.

Everything that's already on the BC list, not all XBox or X360 games ever made. But all XB1 games are 100% compatible. Why is this so hard to understand, or trolling?

There's ports on the front. Behind the controller.

Sadly some people treat the plastic box under their TV like a status symbol.
Thank God someone did quiet and powerful and reasonable priced that is what I care about. Not my problem someone bought media center that can only fit a DVD case in height. I could fit that thing vertically I have function over looks. I could also put a 160 pound plasma on it to and not worry.

Is this confirmed or a guess? I'd be surprised if it didn't have front USB ports, but it seems a bit silly to me that MS have decided to hide them on the official shot.

No I legit didn’t know. I haven’t had time to watch every single thing on it. Just going by the bullet points Gamespot had
Wording makes it sound like it is all previous X Boxes.
Maybe they made it ambiguous since Sony hadn’t shown their hand. We’ve seen patents and rumors. If PS5 plays all previous PlayStation games from the original on up then they have already won next gen. Microsoft will then be in a position to have to try to cobble something together to compete because partial library doesn’t sound as appealing as saying entire library.

Do we think the UI will be the same? Or will they revamp it?
It models itself well after Windows 10 obvi. If they are ramping up the power, it may actually be able to handle it well.
Since they are copying and pasting the code to make Backwards Compatibility work, wouldn't it make sense to do the same with the UI?
I feel like last Gen had all these "ideas" that the hardware simply couldn't handle. Well, maybe now it can...

Oh they will revamp it, and then revamp it another 2-3 times during the course of the gen. Been this way since the 360.

I don't doubt you're right. But they have to stay consistent with the tile system right? I mean let's be real, this is their transition OUT of console gaming and into a service brand. They still want current console players to relate to Windows though, so they can sell PCs in the future... Just makes too much sense business wise
Oh wait, this is the new Xbox? When people were talking about Xbox series x I literally thought we were talking about the mid gen Xbox one refresh and didn't enter the threads. Not trying to be an asshole or anything but I think this is going to have a WiiU effect if they don't change the name.

And it'll be amazing when it launches, but by the end of the generation you'll wonder why it hiccups every time the pop-up tells you that Shroud has started streaming.
Dude can't help but to foot in mouthCalling us dumb? They literally just told is that this is what the console is called and this is what it looks like. Phil Spencer even has one in his living room already. It's not a dev kit
Someone wasn't paying attention.

Everyone keeps saying this but they can't back it up with an explanation of how.
People thought the Wii U was a new add-on controller for the Wii. No one is going to think a $500 Xbox is an add-on for their Xbox One.

Yeah, he has to be trolling. Nobody with any common sense is still trying to deny actual evidence, and not the hearsay bs he's trying to peddle.Dude can't help but to foot in mouth
People also said what you just said about the WiiU and yet... All I know is that I saw Xbox series x and it didn't even register in my mind that the new one was announced and I went on with my morning.

They revealed it on the VGAs. They didn't kick off their marketing for it because it's a YEAR AWAY.

Clearly you don't have an Xbox or follow much about Backwards Compatibility on it. Unless the PS5 reads PS1 - PS4 discs directly, which I sincerely doubt, the issue is less on the technical side, and more on the licensing side. Yes, MS tweaks their XB360 "emulator" for each game, but it is largely identical for all of them. You still need approval from the original publisher and licensees to have the software on a non-original platform.
And in turns of having to "cobble something" together on the software side, you think Microsoft is the one which will struggle? They have been working on and championing backwards compatibility for years. A Sony representative literally said that backwards compatibility doesn't matter to their consumers.

I assume his point is that if he woke up to an article about a PS5 reveal, there's not even a nanosecond of confusion.

Dude you really don’t have to be condescending. I’ve bought X Boxes since the original launch in 2001 and have over 500 games on my X so I think I know a little bit about the X Box.
Are you like 14 because you sound like a butt hurt Microsoft fanboy.
Oh and about needing permission from licensors and publishers yeah you’re totally wrong there. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to go pop a copy of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 Into my PS2 and play it. Backwards compatibility worked fine there. PS2 read CDs and DVDs. Nothing stopping them from making a system that plays **GASP** CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays.
Jesus I hate new console launches. Had to deal with this fanboy shit during the SNES and Genesis days.... People need to grow up.
I hope you don't mean that the positive way. Judging by the size of the drive slot the PS5 dev kit is two times the the xbox SeX in a row. And all the ventilation slots don't scream silence. I just hope that Sony brings out a silent console from the beginning for once..

Thats what I said. Less. If it was shaped like a ps3, it would bother me a little. But it's a black box. Cool.

Thats fair. Im just used to people misinterpreting ‘could care’ for ‘could’nt care.’
Look man. All I'm saying is I woke up, read that title "Xbox series x is the worst name ever!" Thread name and thought to myself "I like the Xbone X name. Then got on my shoes and left the house. Didn't even register this was a new thing

Why would you think they would do another mid-gen refresh right before the new console comes out?
I'm saying I didn't think it was different than the one x which is like what happened to the WiiU. I thought the dude was talking about the one X

Yea people aren't going to think a $500 system is different than what they already have. Just like people didn't think the iPhone X was different than their iPhone 8.

There is one USB port on the front. It's in the lower right corner, with the unit standing vertically. It's just below what looks like a sync button. You can clearly see it at 7:34 into this video: XBox Series X Announced

Everyone said the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X would confuse people and it would be Microsoft's end for doing that. Didn't happen. People are smart now and using the cellphone example they know the difference between things. People are acting like we're still living in the 90s and you need to call your console "Super Xbox" or something.
Cell phone example is a good one. Very good actually. But honestly I think the primary concern is targeting the lowest common denominator when creating games. I'm not very informed on development, but people have been debating pretty intensely about whether its a scaling issue or a holding games back issue.

As a retail associate my line of thought to explain to customers will be “the xbox one x is the older system. The xbox series x, or xbox sx is the new one.”
hell, peoplehere legitmately though the switch lite would confuse average people but it was as easy as saying “the regular switch can connect to your tv, the cheaper switch lite is just a handheld version of the switch.”

You're right. I fucking HATE PC games and how they have to be developed for 486 PCs. Damn those old chips holding back my shit.

I almost feel like it would be easier to just refer to them as the One X and Series X?
