new xbox tries to look edgy - pvnk - 06-13-2016

'Microsoft confirmed the impending release of the Xbox One Slim, or “S,” at its Xbox E3 2016 briefing on Monday. The announcement comes just one day after word of the new model was leaked on the NeoGAF gamer community forums.
The original Xbox One is a black brick large enough to be reminiscent of old school Betamax video players, attached to another, smaller black brick that's used as the system’s power supply. The Xbox One Slim is 40 percent smaller than the original console, and it has an internal power supply (i.e. no secondary brick). It also comes in white.
You will need a special adapter to connect a Kinect camera to the Xbox One S due to the removal of the dedicated Kinect port. The move marks Microsoft’s strongest admission yet that the gamer crowd has little interest in using the Kinect motion-sensing camera for gaming. Additionally, the Xbox One Slim will also offer bluetooth support to connect the console to Windows 10 devices.'

They finally put the power brick inside the console! The new controller has Bluetooth which is great. No more adapters or cables for playing PC games with the Xbox One controller.

Microsoft cannot save the Xbox One. They really should pull out of the console business.

Gotta admit, kinda like the look of this model of the Xbone
At the same time, i've always been a PS fan. Microsoft is a bit late in releasing these things. Their shouldn't have been a power brick outside of the console in the first place. That and the kinect debacle just goes to show further that Microsoft is out of touch with some of it's consumers.

This looks like Playstation to be honest.

Looks good to me. They're trying new things, why not.

Sony Xbox One S

XBOX Project Scorpio is quite cool, though.
Most upgraded, ATM.
But I'm guessing when PS5 comes out, they will surely beat the Project Scorpio XBOX.
