So they're not going to follow the One X/S naming convention and name the lower spec one the Series S right? Xbox SS?

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

It looks pretty sleek actually. Any videos of actual game footage and what it can do yet? That will be the most telling.

That’ll look a little weird but at least it’ll fit in my media console I guess.

Apparently Microsoft has confirmed it was designed to stand up or lay on its side.

The name is dumb but the design is fine. I mean the form factor is a little odd, but the blandness of the "it's just a cube" is attractive to me. That's what I like about the One S/X. Doesn't look like some stupid thing you'd find on a graphics card box.

Phil tweeted this week that the name would reflect the purpose of the console lol

For advanced minded people like myself I put my console on a pedestal in the middle of my living room and insist all my guests “oh” and “ah” in its presence. The though of doing that with the Series X makes me want to vomit.

Some additional info from Gamespot

  • System is about as wide as a Xbone controller and three times as tall. The Xbox logo doubles as the power button.
  • Designed to be very quiet - fans are supposedly around the same volume as the One X.
  • New controller is mostly a tweaked version of the Xbone's - the D-Pad is a new "hybrid" design, there's a PS4-style share button in the center, and it's "ever-so-slightly" smaller to slightly increase hand-coverage. Series X controllers will also work on Xbone and Windows, and Xbone controllers will work on Series X.
  • There's a "Dynamic Latency Input" system that "allows inputs to directly sync up with a game's rendering path" in a bid to reduce input lag.
  • Instant-resume where you left off for more than one game at a time.

I'm not sure what I really wanted, because the current ones are great, but I thought they might do more with the controller this time.
