Makes you "Hmm" this bit of advertising about a week ago.

I think we are finding signs in everything now.
 
Why the S tho?

My guess? They're rebranding the whole thing. Probably calling the new model of the Xbox One the Xbox 10.

Edit: Think I posted my thoughts in a diff thread. I'm of the opinion that Microsoft needed to rebrand with the Scorpio launch. "Xbox One" carries a lot of baggage. Plus, they want the Scorpio to be -the- console to buy, not just an iterative step on the older Xbox like how the Pro's being treated. Changing things from Xbox One to Xbox 10 would definitely accomplish that, without creating confusion over the Scorpio being a whole generational step.
 
So they are going to really drive home Windows 10 integration, cross play etc. And now there are reports that people will be on Sony about cross play now? So the consoles will be:

Xbox One S
Xbox 10 S

Seems weird but I get it.
 
God, I hope not. I want the controllers and cables to be the same as the Xbox One. I don't have any USB-C cables.

That would be stupid for controllers.

That's like saying you don't hope the console has better resolution than 1080p because you have a 1080p set. USB-C is the future and you are talking 10 USD you can handle it.

10th hardware version of Xbox?
 
I get that. Why not just call it Xbox 10? Why the S at the end?

Nono, the Xbox Scorpio will be the Xbox 10 S, the current Xbox One (or Xbox One S, w/e) will become just the Xbox 10.

Hmm. Thinking more about this -- this could be a big reveal regarding Microsoft's plans going forward. New platforms released alongside OS releases. Major joining of PC + Console. Go full Apple, where you launch your Xbox 11 with Windows 11 and then two years after launch your Xbox 11 S hardware revision. 2 years after that, Xbox 12, etc.
 
He was referring to Deformers being cross play between Xbox and PC but not between Sony and Sony not getting flack for it. I don't know if he alluded to new games being cross play between PC but not the PS4
 
X10S


My interpretation?

X is the surname. As in Xbox One X aka Xbox (X = 10 btw)

10S is the OS. As in the recently announced Windows 10S that runs Windows Store apps only.
 
X, 10, One Zero.

I tried digging up that "build your robot for under 400$ cover" but I believe that's purely a coincidence, guys.
There are several numbers of that magazine available to read online, uploaded 10 years ago, that come up as results for the same search. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
 
Jez mentioned on rand al thor's podcast that he knows from sources that the xbox 360 emulator runs on Win10, talks about rumours of it coming to win10 as a app. Could be one of the PC gaming show announcements? unlikely but still nice to know that it could be possible.
 
He's saying people will be mad at Sony because Sony doesn't wanna allow (obviously) x-play between PS4 and Xbox.

But MS has already said they'd allow cross-play, so it's not just "hey, we'll let you play with PS4 players if Sony approves". There's something else at play.
 
I'm the one that started the "sarcastic thread title" train so I'm sorry about that guys.

Let's hope all of the following get released this year and have 90+ metacritic. What do you think are the chances of that?

Sea of Thieves
Crackdown 3
State of Decay 2
Cuphead
Tacoma

I'm super excited for Tacoma. Gone Home is one of the best games on Xbox One IMO - and Tacoma is that dev's next game (Fullbright Studios).
