Xbox Done Discussion - 2016's #1 Master Race Bottom Bitch

If that's true it's going to suck a bit of the wind out of Sony's 4k PS4 since it's been confirmed to not be at the show.

Wonder what a "streamlined" controller would entail though.

Internal power supply confirmed.

How much demand is there for the same system that is smaller but with a bigger hard drive that is pretty easy to upgrade already.

Comes with a new controller but you can just buy that on its own anyways.

Probably not a lot, the point I was making is that if Sony's PS4k isn't there and Microsoft's is, Microsoft gets a lot more coverage and Sony looks like a "me too" when they do show it off.

I get what you are saying. But at the same time, this is mostly a console slim trim and not new hardware like neo and scorpio

[Odesseiron]

It'll never happen and been discussed to death, but there really should be some sort of upgrade program for early adopters. I realize that's the risk you take as an early adopter, but when it comes to shit like a .5 system upgrade because you intentionally release your product as underpowered,that's some serious shit. How do you expect gamers to keep up with that? Take PS4 for example. 40 million or something sold. How many of them do you really think will buy an upgrade? You're going to alienate a lot of people doing that.

[Krandor]

The number of people that it bothers will be far outweighed by those buying the new hardware more then likely.

I'd personally hope that this kind of behavior from Sony/MS actually starts the death knell of consoles and an end to the days of forced exclusivity, but sadly I know better.

XBone Slim leak

$299

Microsoft is claiming that Scorpio will be 1.5x as powerful as Neo.

It will likely be sporting a custom SoC based on both AMD's upcoming Zen and Polaris.

[Obsidian]

New bluetooth wireless Xbox One controllers coming out. Which means you can use an X1 controller on pretty much any device with bluetooth connectivity.

[Krandor]

Supposedly the hardware in the One S is slightly stronger then the current system, so it may see improved framerates over the original console.

Wow. The xbox one S is going to have 4k Blu Ray playback. That alone is a reason for me to buy one. That's pretty incredible considering that standalone 4k BluRay players from Samsung (the only choice available right now) retail for 399.99. Good on you Microsoft. Course that means I'll have to get a Socrpio as well at some point, but hopefully there's a trade in special for current Xboners

A bit misleading, or at least contradictory based on these articles/quotes. Spencer says devs can use the power however they want. Obviously without a 4k display you're not going to get a 4k picture though.

Scorpio

The next step-change for gamers and developers must deliver true 4K gaming and high-fidelity VR experiences to the console. To that end, we were happy to announce the next addition to the Xbox One family: Project Scorpio.

When it ships next year, Project Scorpio will be our most powerful console ever built, specifically to lead the industry into a future in which true 4K gaming and high-fidelity VR are the standard, not an exception.

Project Scorpio will be the first console with 6 teraflops of power, which will empower the world’s greatest game creators to fully embrace true 4K gaming without sacrificing quality, generate premier VR experiences, without sacrificing performance, and putting greater graphic fidelity in the hands of the world’s best game creators.

Best of all, Xbox One, Xbox One S and Project Scorpio will all be compatible. All Xbox One games and accessories will play on each device. It’s very important to us that no one gets left behind, which is a big part of why we view Project Scorpio as a new way of thinking about consoles and generations.

The reason that we announced Project Scorpio today is to give our developers and partners the ability to embrace its capability early, in order to start realizing their visions for the future and deliver even more great games for you.

Today marks the beginning of gaming beyond generations. It’s a future full of choice, and one in which we can all play together without boundaries.

Slim

Spoiler: show

(The only unleaked cap that seems really interesting)

Today at E3, we unveiled a new member of the Xbox One family, the Xbox One S. The Xbox One S will offer exceptional games and entertainment starting at $299 USD.

With a fresh new design and “robot white” color, the Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller than the original Xbox One, creating the most compact Xbox yet. It also includes a built-in power supply, and in response to fan requests worldwide, can be placed horizontally or vertically with an optional stand.

Xbox One S is not just slimmer and sleeker. We also worked hard to add some exciting new features for video and gameplay. You’ll now be able to watch Blu-ray movies and stream video in stunning 4K Ultra HD video, with content from partners like Netflix and Amazon Video. Xbox One S also offers High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for video and gaming, so you can experience richer, more luminous colors in games like Gears of War 4 and Scalebound. With a higher contrast ratio between lights and darks, HDR brings out the true visual depth of your games and media.

For increased accessibility, we shifted one of the three USB ports and the pairing button to the front of the Xbox One S alongside the newly added IR blaster. Additionally, in order to make the Xbox One S as compact as possible and make all of these updates, we removed the dedicated Kinect port from the back. Kinect for Xbox One will still be compatible with Xbox One S via the Xbox Kinect Adapter for USB connection and offers the same great experiences as the current console. For fans that currently own a Kinect for Xbox One and plan to purchase the Xbox One S, we are offering a free Xbox Kinect Adapter. Visit xbox.com/XboxOne/KinectAdapter for more details.

The New Xbox Wireless Controller

The Xbox One S comes with a newly designed Xbox Wireless Controller featuring textured grip for enhanced comfort. We improved the Xbox Wireless signal performance to give you a more reliable wireless connection to the console and up to twice the wireless range when used with Xbox One S. To enable easier wireless connection to your Windows 10 devices, we also added Bluetooth support. The new thumbstick design significantly reduces wear to help maintain accuracy and smooth rotation over the life of the controller, so you never miss a beat. The new Xbox Wireless Controller is included with all Xbox One S consoles and will be available worldwide for individual purchase for $59.99 USD.

All Xbox One games, accessories and Xbox Live services will work with the new Xbox One S. With 500GB, 1TB and special launch edition 2TB options, you can choose the hard drive that’s right for you. The limited quantity 2TB launch edition Xbox One S will be available in select markets starting early August for $399 USD, with the 1TB Xbox One S for $349 USD and the 500GB Xbox One S for $299 USD arriving thereafter. The Xbox One Vertical Stand will also be available for standalone purchase for $19.99 USD.
