Microsoft reveals new console! - Ecks - 06-11-2017
After months of speculation, Microsoft is unveiling its "Project Scorpio" games console today, and it's officially named Xbox One X. Microsoft's Xbox One X naming comes just days after the company trademarked a mysterious S logo, and started dropping Scorpio hints in its E3 teaser videos. Microsoft is planning to launch the Xbox One X on November 7th worldwide. All existing Xbox One accessories will work on the new Xbox One X, alongside all existing Xbox 360 backwards compatible titles and Xbox One games. Microsoft is even planning to use "super sampling" on the One X to make new games look better even on 1080p TVs. The new console will ship with 6 teraflops of graphical power, more than its main competitor, the PS4 Pro, with 4.2 teraflops. Microsoft is using a custom GPU engine on Scorpio that runs at 1172MHz, a big increase over the Xbox One's 853MHz and even Sony's 911MHz found on the PS4 Pro.

I'm actually surprised at the cost being only $499. I think It's very reasonably priced.
Given It's Impressive specs, I can predict this will be a hot Item on It's official release.

I know that I want one, I had an XBox One for a short time and loved it, even with just Skyrim and Fallout 4 and a few free games I always had something entertaining to do that did not require any actual brain power. I was thinking about getting another but now I am just going to wait to get this one since I still have all my hardware and my XBox Live account to use with it.

Friends of mine also own an Xbox One and they don't touch any other type of console.
I'm not sure whether they're aware of this release. In the event they're not, they will be shortly.
EDIT: Typo.

I am a massive XBox fanboy, I actually stopped buying other consoles after the original one was released, but I do want a Nintendo Switch.
Other than XBox my only gaming platform has been PC and with emulators I can still play pretty much all the games I love and have loved for many years, it has only been recently that titles have come out on a system (the Switch) that I went "WOW I wanna play that".
(I still own a nes,snes,psx,gamecube,atari,turbographix16,sega genesis and dreamcast, I just never use them because well.....emulators)

Atari too, awesome.
No "Commodore 64?".

I had one In the 90s and for It's time, It was fantastic.

I found one for sale many years ago in Goodwill but they were asking way too much for it, I mean I could have held onto it and sold it for a nice return but I like keeping my old systems, nostalgia ya know.
