Price? Betting £499

 

That would genuinely be a bargain for that level of horsepower (in todays market that is - maybe not 18 months from now)

[layten]

Spec wise it's gonna stomp what we know of the PS4.5

 

The game comparison thread is due a massive delivery of salt sometime next year.

The thing is, a seriously huge number of people here are going to have egg on their face if they go out and buy this thing. 

Why? I'll probably get one and I won't feel at all bad.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

Where's Nick Fury on a fucking rocket cycle when you need him, dammit.

[JohnC]

18 months away?

[TehStu]

Yeah, I'm in.

 

edit - premier VR experiences? Occulus, then?

[RubberJohnny]

Holiday 2017? Five years? So it's actually just a new generation?

Yep - I wonder this is why Sony held off the Neo tonight - so they can bump up their specs

Yeah, that's what I thought. Might as well be the Xbox Two, really.

[Nespresso]

So why would anyone buy an Xbox One S now exactly?

And quite blatantly they know it. And Sony know it, or they'd be talking about Neo later.

That's 4 years isn't it?

[DC Lemon]

Xbox One Family.

 

That's a nice new spin on the original vision for the Xbone name.

[Comrade]

"The most powerful console ever built" is such a non-event. Traditionally every console is the most powerful when it come out.

[Nespresso]

Hahahaha "no one gets left behind"

 

Wow.

 

[Harsin]

Teraflops is going to be the new piece of technobabble that everyone pretends they really care about all of a sudden, just like bits, or different types of RAM at the start of last gen.

[Graham S]

It makes getting PSVR seem a bit risky.

[MDY]

No Crackdown?

 

[Halo]

Meh. I still think it's a bad idea.

Four years.

[ryodi]

Why would announce the S and then it's better follow up in the same presentation.

I don't think so, I might but then I'm signed up to this concept with PCs.

 

Mrs Dudley, who was saving up for a PS4 until this point really isn't and is now much, MUCH more reticent to replace her 360.

[Graham S]

We are announcing this TODAY to stop you buying PS4s and PSVRs until we're ready.

Ish. A new gen doesn't usually allow you to play all previous stuff.

[Benny]

Well that's consoles into the regular update model like smartphones then.

The best quality pixels. None of that cheapo Aldi pixels shit.

 

Cheers mate. Spot on. 

[Harrisown]

I'm happy with 1080p. I see 4K as a waste of time. The only benefit would be VR capability but then buying an ocular is not cheap. End of the day I can see the whole set up costing the same as a shit hot PC.

Well let's see: we had plenty of people losing their shit over the suggestion that the consoles were underpowered, as well as chafing at the even the idea that mjight want to at least consider a PC. 

 

I mean, I predict we're going to see quite a lot of hypocritical people buying this things despite supposedly being entirely happy with the power of the Xbox.

 

And if you're willing to spend £800-900 on two Bone consoles, why would these same people never even consider a PC?
