Xbox Series S Revealed (Brad Sams) - $299 Price

Poor digital foundry guys are gonna have to look at 4 variations of game performance JUST for the xbox version.
 
I like it. It will probably be laying flat all the time anyway. I can get over the look of it, since I've lived through the NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari Toilet era. Most kids these days are going to put stupid energy drink stickers all over it.

If the price is unofficial and too low for Microsoft, they will be eating so much shit for this.
 
I'm sorry but that's kind of ugly lol

If it launches at $300 that's a pretty good deal though.
Yeah looks like a speaker

I liked the renders that were pretty much a short Series X better

This looks more aesthetically pleasing and consistent with Series X. You can potentially carry it with one hand and put in a bag for travel. Oh well.
 
The more you look at it, the more you see where they get their designs from (Xbox One S).

I think it's real.... yet I prefer the smaller white Xbox One X concept.. looks so much better and cuter. This one is literally a speaker HAHAH.
 
Im on the $200 truck too!
PS5DE looks the $499 part.
Seems we are back in circle, Sony trying to sell a 'premium' playstation experience ala PS3!

Series S have a fast zen2 cpu with fast ssd and a rdna2. I never expected MS to price at $299, it is just so aggressive.
My prediction was $399, this is impossibly crazy value.

My predictions have always been $300 and $500 for Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. I believe that Microsoft will wait and either match PS5 at $500 or if it's $600, undercut them by $100. Series S can lose money because digital only means that Microsoft will easily make it up within a few purchases just by third parties alone.

PlayStation 5 is going to be a great console but Sony went "overkill" with the SSD which jacked up the price for them. Add in the cooling system and that liquid metal or whatever it's called and it's very expensive to produce. I do see Sony going $500 and $600 because they want to lose as little money as possible and they really want everyone to buy digital because they can slowly eliminate physical. Same for Microsoft too.
 
Microsoft seems to think that price and power is why they haven't been "winning" when that's not been the case. If this really is the design of the console, then, um, well, they could have done better!

If it's really USD$299 for a legit next gen console I don't think people should be caring what it looks like. It's basically a One S All Digital but with a black fan vent on the top.

Well they can't just suddenly become a bigger brand name with a bigger brand following than Playstation, so they have to start somewhere, and Price is a great start.

*** Name not been officially confirmed.
**** Hasn't been officially revealed.
***** Hasn't been officially priced.
****** Price pulled from someones ass
 
If nothing else, it appears to be tiny compared to XB1S. Gonna be able to tuck that anywhere to hide it.
Not much more than double width of controller and same height (horizontal)

How is it a deal for $299.99? You're not getting the most powerful console for $299.99.
How isn't it? It's a legit next gen console that plays next gen games, and it's cheaper than the current One X and almost as cheap as the current base consoles.

For those without a 4K TV this is all you'll need, and is a cheap way to get a secondary console. This would be a great way for those that couldn't afford both to now potentially do so.
 
If that price turns out to be fake MS is going to be pissed. It will kill the enthusiasm if it comes out higher than that.

The One X is pretty much bang on double the size of a controller btw. This looks maybe a bit less deep than the One X, but pretty much the same size.

This is the real Series S.

That half sized console was just some fan made shit.

Is it it really?

I ask because I don't see it mentioned anywhere online except this random dude.

How is it official, if it's not news I can easily learn about with a simple search?

Edit: Seems like this is a Twitter "insider" confirmed news, so maybe it is real.

But hot damn that is an ugly console if so. I was in disbelief because of ugly it looks :/

Are we now at that point where we're going to dismiss literally every single leak even from reputable leakers?
 
Brad Sams in confirming the console?

As for that giant speaker design, looks weird and out of place. Maybe it was to differentiate away from SeX, so people don't get confused when SeX has a white model in the future.

I totally get the all digital format.
