(+) Yeah! (+)

Because it's all about the performance. And regardless of what the name is. People will still buy it. Just like having a stupid name. Yet you still got it. And will not change it. >_>

The Xbox Series X looks really great.

I don't really care, but that doesn't make it sound any less stupid.

I'll be more interested when I can put my hands on a controller. XB1 controller doesn't work very well for me.

If the dev kit is any indication, it looks ridiculous.

PS5 is legit a better name than Xbox Series X

How did the wii sell overall?

Because I think that if that succeeded, that just goes to show that a bad name is no real hindrance.
(or that could just be the Nintendo effect, I guess)

Wii sold more than any XB console and less than the PS2 and PS4.

Attach rate for games was terrible, though.

at least PS5 isn't confusing. Xbox One X isn't a series X already? sure to confuse some people.

It really shouldn't. I typically have all systems, then one turns into a little used device. It depends where my friends go

A stackable cooling solution isn't a bad idea for a dev kit. If the final version keeps it, then yeah.

The size of the consoles is surprising.

Maybe fitting everything in a NUC is asking too much, but I cannot see any earthly reason why the PS5 or XSX need to be bigger than predecessors.

The power to keep it competitive with gaming PCs for its entire life? Maybe. But even with the baggage of an optical drive, I was hoping things could shrink somewhat. Gaming laptop internal layouts are tiny.

Stadia and xCloud point to a plausible future where your console is a dumb terminal for streamed or casted content. This might be the last generation. In the next 6-7 years, the era of silicon-only computing may end and 5G will be fully realized.

The Xbox One X isn't a Series X. The Xbox Series X is a brand new console with state of the art technology and is very differen't from the Xbox One X.

well yes I know that, but it is still a confusing thing especially if you aren't informed

It's hilarious how consoles are just slowly evolving into Apple products. "It's a PC, but limited!"

Even the Pii U?
