It might look nearly identical by a change of color, but the Xbox One X is a very different beast from the Xbox One S that preceded it.
The souped up console leaves its predecessor in the dust in terms of raw graphical horsepower, and this extra grunt is used to push a resolution that’s four times as large as a result.
The downside, inevitably, is price. At £449 the new console costs around double of what you’d expect to pay for its predecessor, and although it’s able to play all of the same games, it’s got to have some pretty interesting tricks up its sleeve if it wants to convince us.
Thankfully, so far, this seems to be the case.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGcRJv1O4eY Still can't believe this worked. I ended up getting both of Hanzo's trophies with this PotG. All I was trying to do was kill Reinhardt... Well, looks like I'll never play Hanzo again.
What just happened? I don't see how that killed 5 people...
Yoshi's Island, Kirby Superstar, The Legend of Zelda, and Megaman. Those are all great titles, ageless. There's going to be another NES Classic situation.
willybilly: ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ATHEISTS THAT SAY THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD BUT ARE MORALLY UPRIGHT (THEORETICAL ATHEISTS), OR THOSE ATHEISTS THAT PROCLAIM GOD WITH THEIR LIPS BUT WHOSE WORKS PROVE OTHERWISE ( PRACTICAL ATHEISTS)?
What.
Mr. CAPS, I don't think you know what an atheist is. It has nothing to do with morals. So because I'm an atheist and I'm morally upright, I'm a 'theoretical atheist'? Tf. A lot of people have the opinion people become atheists so they can sin. Not true.
Nice list. I've only played two of them however. Seen someone play Skyrim though and it's well deserving.
Halo 5... Well maybe H2...
I agree completely with HL2 and Ocarina of Time. Especially Zelda. These two are absolute genius.
I would have tossed FF7 and put Pokémon Red though. Just me though. That was Pokémon at its absolute best. It's gotten shinier, sure, but the joy of the first was unrivaled.
To all those hurt, there are ways to express opinions that don't make you appear seriously butt hurt.
Halo, I'm not sure if it's fair to drop the series as a whole there. Sure, I've only played Halo 2, but if you haven't played it in multiplayer, you haven't truly experienced its full potential. That's a great game, and it was worth every cent. I wouldn't say it's overrated. The others in the series however, I can't defend.
cao: Honestly, I'm this close (e remain small) to making a rant video about Assassin's Creed: Origins Collector's Edition. It would set you back about $800/£700. Yes, I said $800/£700. The thing just weak me.
WTF? $800 dollars That could buy like 13 brand new games... But instead, I'd rather spend it on some amulets and some shyit. Gaddam.
Lana1: A video game console is an electronic, digital or computer device that outputs a video signal or visual image to display a video game that one or more people can play.
A "gaming" PC classifies as a gaming console.
A dedicated console on the other hand is different
Dude. You took the first paragraph off Wikipedia and conveniently ignored the rest.
"The term "video game console" is primarily used to distinguish a console machine primarily designed for consumers to use for playing video games, in contrast to arcade machines or home computers... A home computer is a personal computer designed for home use for a variety of purposes, such as bookkeeping, accessing the Internet and playing video games."
Even as a 'gaming' PC, I'm still inclined to call it a home computer.
A dedicated console is completely different from an Xbox or a Playstation.
"A dedicated console is a video game console that is dedicated to a built in game or games, and is not equipped for additional games, via cartridges, discs or other media."
veeflamesnl: ... I don't think HyDef included gaming PCs when he meant "gaming console." Of course there are more powerful PCs (heck, I have one), but at the same time the Xbox One X is the most powerful DEDICATED gaming console.
Precisely.
Putting aside Master Race chants, I'm sure we all know that you can build a computer much much much more powerful than the Xbox One X. But this is a dedicated console, and can't be upgraded.
veeflamesnl: Pretty much. I'm still surprised that it's the smallest Xbox to date. And was anyone expecting the Xbox One X to come cheap? For what it contains, I'd say the price is just right. Heck, it's $100 more than the PS4 Pro (which is more or less trying to do the same thing the XOX is doing). It's just right enough to tap into the niche of gamers who want great visuals (that green, shiny, sharp grass, tho /s) while not breaking the bank. The only issue I have with the system right now is the games... Microsoft's E3 was actually decent, but there was little content screaming at me to at least consider picking an XOX up, maybe except for Forza Motorsport. Maybe in the near future, perhaps. And yeah, that name. Xbox One X. Haha.
Yeah, I felt E3 this year wasn't exactly groundbreaking, although I liked what Nintendo and Ubisoft had to show. The others were so so.
