Just giving its own thread.

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/12/12/microsoft-unveils-xbox-series-x/


quote:


From a technical standpoint, this will manifest as world-class visuals in 4K at 60FPS, with possibility of up to 120FPS, including support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and 8K capability. Powered by our custom-designed processor leveraging the latest Zen 2 and next generation RDNA architecture from our partners at AMD, Xbox Series X will deliver hardware accelerated ray tracing and a new level of performance never before seen in a console. Additionally, our patented Variable Rate Shading (VRS) technology will allow developers to get even more out of the Xbox Series X GPU and our next-generation SSD will virtually eliminate load times and bring players into their gaming worlds faster than ever before.

We are minimizing latency by leveraging technology such as Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and giving developers new functionality like Dynamic Latency Input (DLI) to make Xbox Series X the most responsive console ever. Xbox Series X is also designed for a future in the cloud, with unique capabilities built into the hardware and software to make it as easy as possible to bring great games to both console and elsewhere. Xbox Series X will deliver a level of fidelity and immersion unlike anything that’s been achieved in previous console generations.

Always good to see a console that doesn’t have glossy plastIc.

Hopefully they fix their terrible user interface

I got an XBox One a few years ago and the main menu interface was so counter intuitive and just downright garbage compared to playstation that it was frustrating to even try to deal with the thing

They've clearly given up on trying to come up with creative names.

All that tech shite is nice and all but will there be any games that actually take advantage of it? And I don't mean Halo or Gears that I don't give a shite about.

I had a launch day One that was great because I bought into the media aspect of it all - tech specs that 1 game takes advantage of won't make me upgrade.

That is the million dollar question or at least the $499 question.

They have acquired a lot of studios for 1st party games now, but PS still kicked their butts last gen. It also did not help with Bungie and COD getting in bed with Sony.

It does not appear hardware will be a weak link this gen, so it will come down to games.

It does appear that this one will probably have enough juice to run the new Microsoft Flight Sim, which looks pretty freaking amazing.

Some would say they aren't known for gaming anymore.
