When the Xbox One S came out it was a cheap good 4k Blu-ray player. I'm already seeing players around $200 so by the time it's out it won't be a deal in that area anymore.
Its such a retarded name. When someone goes into a store with little info which many do, it's not easy to tell which is the better version. Pro is an easier way to designate its better, X doesn't.
I feel sometimes that using X in product names is suppose to have some underlying psychological link to Gen X adults that have money to buy this stuff. MS has also gone Xbox -> 360 -> 1 -> S -> X so they are all over the place. Sony at least increments the number and then added the Pro designation. Pretty straight forward.
Yea those two sucked. Wolfenstein looked cool thoughWow the Bethesda presentation is about 10x worse than the XBox One X presentation. Just what I wanted, Skyrim and Fallout 4 with microtransactions added. And they're advertising this at E3? smh

I didn't think M$ cared about their user base... Forza Horizon 3 is on PC now so that leaves Halo 5 (mediocre at best) and not much else. I don't see their plan with demoing more powerful hardware other than to simply do it just because.
PS4 has HZD, Last of Us Remastered + Uncharted, The Last Guardian, Bloodborne and the new God of War is due next year. There's also Until Dawn and Gravity Rush for the more obscure tasted.
Yeah I mean I don't think MS' conference was bad by any means. It was done very well and looked good and all that. The only problem is there was absolutely nothing that got me excited at all. Anthem looked neat but it's not like it is exclusive to X1 or anything. Most of the games they showed off can be played elsewhere too. Which is odd considering they came firing out the gates talking about exclusivity.Microsoft's products and presentation actually looked pretty good and polished.
Bethesda's on the other hand...
Just no... That was horribly, horribly disappointing.
I couldn't have expected the more opposite to happen, but it did. Go figure.

I also found the "Xbox One Launch Exclusive" they kept showing before some games very odd. Xbox One launched like 4 years ago.
I'm even talking about console exclusive to Xbox 1 there was nothing that is exciting coming out. PC isn't even in the discussion for me.Nothing but Halo (maybe not even that) is going to be "Xbox" exclusive if you don't count the PC. In fact most MS games from now on will be for the digital version, play anywhere which means one purchase for both Xbox and PC.

I dunno, I don't see more than a handful of people who want to rush out to pay $500 for something that literally does nothing other than give you upgraded graphics over the cheaper consoles. Yes it will do well at launch because of all the techies and early adopters, but I'm talking about after that. You can also get a PS4 Pro for much cheaper and get the PS4 exclusives plus 99% of what is going to show up on the X1X.I actually do not think Microsoft needs any games exclusive to the Xbox anymore. By positioning the Xbox One X at the $499 price point, you'll have to spend more on PC to get the equivalent smooth & responsive gameplay. Responsive being the key, not necessarily related to FPS.
Whichever platform their target audience chooses, console or PC, Microsoft wins as long as developers use DX12 and stays within their Windows ecosystem. By extension AMD also wins by having these games already mostly optimized for them on PC without costing them anything extra in labour, money, or time beyond their (admittedly well financed) console developer support.
Steam will take some sales on PC, maybe even most or all. Yet IMHO Microsoft will still win with Windows 10 and expanding DX12 reliance while still providing basic hardware needed at a good price.

At least the PS4 Pro is $100 more than the slim model, and it's only $400. The Xbox One X is going to be DOUBLE the price of the Xbox One S.
Like as of right now there is absolutely no reason for the majority of people to purchase the X1X. You can play 100% of the games that will work on it without even purchasing one for half the price.
In general, I don't get the whole 'console upgrade' bullshit either and think it's going to hurt the console industry in the long run.
They both already came out with theirI don't disagree, also don't forget both Sony & Microsoft also usually come out with cheaper "slim" consoles at lower price points when sales start to slow.

Slim consoles.
