Xbox One S: 40% smaller, 2TB, 4K for movies/tv, internal PSU, $300
- Thread starter wachie
- Start date
"HT enthusiasts" "people who buy a console for media playback" "people who don't care to wait for another year to buy the superior model of said console" sounds like a rather small intersect on the venn diagram.
i think neo will be the slim. i'll never underestimate sony hardware miracles.

I don't even want a console but if Sony or Microsoft allow 4K Bluray playback on their consoles i'll definitely buy one.

No you didn't
I speculated this last week but think they will do a bundle with the Elite controller and Scorpio.

Would be cool if it had a microphone for voice command stuff. I don't have Kinect hooked up.

If you worked hard to present something the next day but it leaks to the world how would you feel then? It's not about "oh poor big company" it's about those who worked hard to surprise their consumers
Still happy about the leaks

Because it's expensive.

Yeah, I doubt Sony pays AMD twice for two chip designs. Someone suggested bad Neo chips could be used for a PS4 slim. Not sure if that is viable though.
They're probably selling an Elite console with an Elite controller bundled.
I think Microsoft and Phil will be okay

That would be my guess too - makes sense.
Come on you're better than this. It's not about the corporation's feelings, it's about the surprise that it would generate, now it's diminished.

Hopefully this means the standard white controller will be sold standalone now. Been waiting since I got my Sunset Overdrive bundle.
Console looks decent, figured they would do a bigger design overhaul. Waiting for some Scorpio news before I decided whether/how to upgrade.

Because it'll probably be the cheapest 4K player. Same reason why PS3 was bought for bluray.
I believe the 4K Roku box is $199. A $299 4K media box that could play the latest games would do pretty well.
4K bluray specifically
and PS2 was bought for DVD. Sure.
I don't doubt that there will be people buying the slim because of its supposed 4k bluray capabilities. But it's not gonna be as significant of a number as with the previous consoles.
Both, because Bluray -> Bluray 4K is not as much of a "generational jump", but also because optical media isn't quite as relevant anymore in the age of streaming.
HT enthusiasts are not going to be moving a significant amount of units.

I mean it looks nice. Probably be a decent price. Good software line up. Add in 4K blu ray and added multimedia stuff, it'd be a goddamn must buy.
I read that in Kinpin's raspy voice.

That's not UHD BD though.

Cute design.
Good point. I'm all streaming when it comes to movies. But yeah, people interested in that will definitely be interested in a $299 Xbox with that functionality.

So this thing isn't Scorpio right?
If not what is the point?

Yes, you did.

Even if they need to pay up for 2 designs the expense is always worth it the end, with the cost savings from being able to make a smaller, cooler console over the next 40M units sold. And they get to hit a lower price point they couldn't if they continue making the old model.
