Wouldn't this cut the legs off of the XSX?

I'm still calling fake

Not at all just like apple has multiple iPhones. This is the budget and family friendly version.

 

[PhaseJump]

I wonder how Japan will react to this.

[iorek21]

I'll have two

 

[sainraja]

One, One X, and One S will all be discontinued by the time these come out. Do people get confused buying iPhones and Galaxies and Playstations?

People didn't know the Wii U was a new console. They thought it was an add-on to the Wii. You can't predict these things - as to how it will play out.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Incorrect. According to Microsoft:

The Series X:

"Delivering four times the processing power of an Xbox One and enabling developers to leverage 12 TFLOPS of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) performance – twice that of an Xbox One X and more than eight times the original Xbox One. Xbox Series X delivers a true generational leap"

The Series S does not.

Huh? The Series S hasn't been announced yet lol. It plays next gen games at 1080p. Why are you so eager to hate this?

 

[MrFunSocks]

Ugly box

kind of weird that a nobody is basically making their console announcement.

can we all agree that the video game world needs e3, or at least a competent replacement? I feel like hype levels have been a complete wet fart.

This is a leak, not an official announcement.

I wonder how Japan will react to this.

They're gonna go crazy, it'll sell dozens!*

*in its lifetime

 

[Cert.in.Death]

That...is worse than I imagined it could possibly be.

 

[NullZ3r0]

I suspect that this should not have leaked.
I suspect that the plan was to reveal this right after Sony's next event.

If you think this is a leak, you don't follow tech.

 

[BootsLoader]

I already have a Bluetooth speaker so no.

 

[skneogaf]

How do you go from both the xbox one s & x that are great looking machines and the xbox series x which is cool and powerful looking to this?

Why does it have a circular speaker grill on it?

The smaller xbox series x design mock up was arguably the nicest looking console yet but this is an eye sore that needs to be either black or white, not a mixture.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Who the fuck is this targeted for

 

[rapid32.5]

Will it push Sony to price PS5 digital for 399$ you better hope so. At 299$ the S will be sold out this year.

 

[dorkimoe]

Blows my mind how many people care about the look of a decide that's going to be hidden in there entertainment stand

 

[Jon Neu]

those who laugh hard at ps5 design should laugh harder to tears when see this.

Well, let's get not crazy here.

The PS5 design is still by far the ugliest thing coming in a long time.

 

[Chiggs]

Who the fuck is this targeted for

For people that don't want to spend $500 to 600 dollars.

 

[Zuzu]

I feel like it should be $250. If the PS5 Digital Edition comes in at $399, then for just $100 more you can get a console which is 2.5x more powerful and 4k capable. Even if you only currently have a 1080p TV, the PS5 DE ensures that if/when you upgrade to a 4k TV you will have a console that takes advantage of that. That seems like better value for money imo.

 

[nyr88nyg]

But why

 

[TGO]

Makes sense now

 

[PhaseJump]

This is a leak, not an official announcement.


They're gonna go crazy, it'll sell dozens!*

*in its lifetime

That's what I was thinking. I do wonder if a Hello Kitty paint job could exponentially increase it's sales numbers.

 

[MrFunSocks]

How do you go from both the xbox one s & x that are great looking machines and the xbox series x which is cool and powerful looking to this?

Why does it have a circular speaker grill on it?

The smaller xbox series x design mock up was arguably the nicest looking console yet but this is an eye sore that needs to be either black or white, not a mixture.

The little mock up is nice but pretty much impossible to actually work.

The black vent is a weird choice but I'd say it's to distinguish it from the One S All Digital because other than that this looks virtually identical.

Who the fuck is this targeted for

How is this even a question?

"Who is a next gen consoles that's cheaper than current gen consoles targeted for?!"

amazing that people try to talk this down with that rubbish concern. $299 is the current price of the base PS4 ffs. This runs rings around the PS4 tech wise, and will play next gen games better than the PS4 plays current gen games.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Microsoft got out uglied when Sony showed the PS5... Giving birth to this 1999 Sanyo speaker

 

[UnNamed]

I'll wait to see the entire specs, I'm worried they cut other specs other than the cpu.

 

[Empire Strikes Back]

The design is hideous but the price is gorgeous...

 

[quest]

I feel like it should be $250. If the PS5 Digital Edition comes in at $399, then for just $100 more you can get a console which is 2.5x more powerful and 4k capable.

That is my thought it needs to be 149.99 less than the PS5 DE. I think Microsoft knows that and that is why they are holding off on price. They need Sony to set the market.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Looks good. Great price.

This thing is going to be huge for Microsoft. Strategic win for sure.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Wouldn't this cut the legs off of the XSX?

I'm still calling fake

Naw. Console sales at best earn companies next to nothing.

Software sales and subscriptions are what's important.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Eh if this wasn't digital only I might consider it, without a disc drive its an easy pass.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

FUUUGLY.

But cheap and shiny.

 

[JLB]

So, how many Series S fit on a PS5?

 

[kriolo]

299 usd a next gen console with free Month game pass included vs 499 and 70 usd new games? This will sell fast

 

[Entroyp]

299 usd a next gen console with free Month game pass included vs 499 and 70 usd new games? This will sell fast

I doubt it

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

If you think this is a leak, you don't follow tech.

Now there's more:

 

[NullZ3r0]

Microsoft name convention will destroy the brand.

Dad, buy me an Xbox. one one x s series s series x??

Not this shit again...

 

[Investor9872]

DOA at $299.

I don't think it will be. It's well priced, and I'm willing to bet that this will sell a hell of a lot more than the XB Series X during its lifetime.

 

[RoboFu]

I mean why the black? Why not just all white?

 

[PhaseJump]

If I buy one of these, I want to look down at that black grill, and see it as a lit cartoon bomb being thrown at me by a pissed off Bomberman.

 

[LordCBH]

Why in the name of ass and titties is the vent grill a different color from the body of the console

 

[Barakov]

Looks like its' digital only so that's a hard pass for me. Series X needs to be $499 otherwise Xbox is going to have a rough gen. Again.

 

[DonF]

Not the sexiest console, great price.
What's the mental gymnastics now that this thing is 4 TF and the ps5 is 10 TF? This thing must be trash if people consider 10 TF bad

 

[JLB]

 

[Investor9872]

With the Series S being $300, we can be sure that SeX will be ATLEAST $500. I suspect that ps5 will try its best to hit $400 but final guess is that it will also be $500 at the very least with the digital edition being $400.

Agreed.

XB Series S $299
XB Series X $499

PS5 Digital $399
PS5 Disk $499

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Ok so its competition is the ps4? Lol ok what's the point? So you can play next gen games gimpped? Again lol OK let's put a weaker next gen box out next to our "the most powerful console ever" makes zero making sense its just gonna confuse the casuals just like the wii u did. Its not gonna make a difference to sony it seems like a waste of time and resources.

 

[MrFunSocks]

It's an entry level next-gen console which is priced according to what it is and what it offers. It's not a deal in the sense that you are getting something at a bargain - the specs aren't Series X specs so in my eyes it's just an entry level next-gen console. I am calling it what it is. I haven't denied that the price is going to be attractive to those who aren't interested in "power" but you also can't forget what Microsoft has been marketing to everyone.

What other next gen consoles have launched at the same price as the current gen consoles at the time?

Ok so its competition is the ps4? Lol ok what's the point? So you can play next gen games gimpped?

Why are you having so much trouble with basic concepts?

It's not competing with the PS4. Its competing with the PS5. Its going to be possibly half the price of the PS5 and Series X, which could be the most expensive consoles ever. It plays the same games.

Quit with the concern trolling.

 

[JLB]

Agreed.

XB Series S $299
XB Series X $499

PS5 Digital $399
PS5 Disk $499

I bet PS5 Digital and Disk will have the same price, but the digital version will come with a bigger drive.

 

[LordCBH]

Not the sexiest console, great price.
What's the mental gymnastics now that this thing is 4 TF and the ps5 is 10 TF? This thing must be trash if people consider 10 TF bad

from a personal standpoint, I REALLY hate that Microsoft is setting the floor of the generation that low, though I'm sure it'll be ok for a bit.

 

[Investor9872]

I wonder how Japan will react to this.

Japan will react to it the exact same way it has always had since the XBox first came out. Avoid them like the plaque.

 

[NullZ3r0]

I mean why the black? Why not just all white?

Like someone said, likely to differentiate from the One S.
