[ShadyAcshuns]

I might. I need either a Series S or a Series X for the bedroom.

 

[Robb]

Already have a Series X, unless this one is significantly smaller it sounds like a downgrade.

Very interested in the controller though.

 

[mitch1971]

I'm waiting for the triangular shaped series X before I pony up the cash.

 

[chromhound]

No Disk, No Buy

 

[MikeM]

Here's who gets my money for hardware:

Nvidia - whatever the next flagship GPU is.

Sony - PS5 Pro

Nintendo - Switch 2

Steam - Deck 2 and the next VR headset

Facebook - Quest 3

The above covers everything I could ever need across all of gaming. Phil, if you're reading this, ya fucked it up.

Makin it rain.

No, I'll just play the games on PC.

And herein lies Xbox’s biggest problem.

 

[Kacho]

There isn’t a chance in hell I purchase a new box.

[LostDonkey]

Is it more powerful?

No?

Then that's my answer.

 

[sainraja]

Maybe Microsoft knows that Sony isn't doing a PS5 Pro either?

 

[Elder Legend]

Yes,.but mainly for the looks.

 

[Pantz]

Only if it's more powerful.

 

[Topher]

Maybe Microsoft hopes that Sony isn't doing a PS5 Pro either?

ftfy

 

[F0rneus]

I'm still stuck in last gen so I will jump in with the Brooklyn Series X and the PS5 Pro. Then I'll have 4 years of current gen lol!

 

[tryDEATH]

If the specs stay the same as in the leaked documents then no way. However, if they have made improvements to power similar to the Xbox One X definitely.

 

[DenchDeckard]

 

[DR3AM]

No but I would buy a Series X Pro (with a drive)

 

[Spyxos]

I already have the Series X

 

[Thirty7ven]

It’s the same console but now it looks like a trash can, why the hell would you replace the one you have?

 

[Crayon]

You forgot that it's more environmentally freindly. Someone run the slide.

You know how when you finish a game then you go to throw the disc in the ocean? That kills dolphins. It's anticonsumer.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I'm absolutely thrilled with the new storage and sleek design. Xbox truly understands my preferences, offering tailored game suggestions. Going digital has not only been a breeze but also more cost-effective. Thanks to Xbox, I haven't missed physical discs one bit.

Adorable.

 

[mejin]

[//DEVIL//]

I think Don killed Phill and put on his face mask to cover his identity. High-end Console without an optional optical drive.. fucking NO

 

[Dcr1d3r]

Unless I see MS start investing in some shit hot new ip's that got them on the map with the original Xbox and 360....then nope...not for me!

 

[b0uncyfr0]

I like pretty games first party games. Unless that changes by the refresh - im sure i wont want one.

 

[AJUMP23]

I'm pretty happy with my X.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Lmao not a chance

 

[solidus12]

Did you vote “Yes” cireza adamsapple ?

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

When my OG 360 finally was done for good (that thing had a good run for an original model; it was a damn trooper), getting a Slim Model was a no brainer.

If my Series X dies in the next few years before next gen? Well fuck me I guess I gotta get a second hand OG SX if I want to use my discs.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Did you vote “Yes” cireza adamsapple ?

 

[THE DUCK]

Who is this even for?

The people who bought Series S was because it was cheap(er) while the people who bought Series X was because it was more powerful.

This is neither more powerful or cheaper. So again, who is this product even for?

So there's no chance someone wants a next gen xbox console that doesn't care about physical? Let's say it was out today:

Buy square x for $499 with drive and tb ssd, or
Buy round x for $499 with 2tb.

If you ask me more people would pick round than square as the larger store size and newer machine has more value to a lot of buyers.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Adorable.

why is it a problem to play their games on pc?

[Rocco Schiavone]

No thanks. I rather buy a PS5 Pro.

 

[TheShocker]

Unless there is a performance advantage, no.

I am eyeing the 2TB expansion card though. Already filled up the internal one and the current 1TB expansion.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I would buy a mid-gen upgrade probably. I would not buy the refresh at current performance.

 

[GetInTheRobot]

Yea, I swap between my Xbox and PC...if the new Xbox is a consistent 60 I'll cop.

 

[cireza]

Did you vote “Yes” cireza adamsapple ?

I hadn't seen this thread mate.

Definitely "No" as far as I am concerned if there is no disc drive, and even if there is one I simply don't see the point as it is exactly the same thing as the original console. It is fine for MS to reduce their production cost, and maybe fine for "late buyers", but for early buyers that already have the original console (which has been reliable on top of this) I simply don't see the point.

And it will be a big "Fuck you" as soon as they push for 100% digital. But that's another topic.

 

[adamsapple]

Did you vote “Yes” cireza adamsapple ?

No, no point if it's the same specs, I already have the same thing. If it's a mid-gen upgrade though ..

 

[Metnut]

I was considering buying a Seroes X Pro if Starfield was a GOTY type of hit and stuff like Avowed and Fable were great too.

Seems like they aren’t doing a pro-console and Starfield is just another Fallout type of experience, so I’m leaning against it. Will reconsider when Avowed and Fable come out.

 

[Moses85]

No, my XSX is already covered in dust

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Definitely not if physical is really scrapped, like NEVER.

 

[outsida]

I will get one for the bedroom and retire my Gears 4 Xbox One

 

[reinking]

I am most likely on my last Xbox console. I will be going to PC for future MS/Xbox games. That has nothing to do with the refresh even though I am a little confused about who this refresh is for. I would understand if the Series X refresh looked more like a Series S but not a cylindar. Weird.

 

[Daniel_Mallorca1985]

NO!

I am interested in the upcoming Sony PS5 Slim and Nintendo Switch 2 consoles.

 

[MikeM]

why is it a problem to play their games on pc?

- Most PC gamers buy on Steam. Lost revenue due to having to share that gross income with Valve for any games sold there vs buying these games on Xbox where you keep 100% of those dollars. Very few people use the Xbox storefront so im ignoring that.

- Not having any console exclusive games means no reason to buy your box, thereby losing the chance to have third party games bought on your platform, losing that potential revenue share.

 

[BigLee74]

As an XSX owner, there is absolutely no need to buy this. Id argue it even looks worse (I love the box).

 

[UltimaKilo]

I have a Series S, so possibly might be a good way to upsell me if they're able to shrink down the size of the Series X significantly.

 

[StereoVsn]

Adorably crippled XSX New

PS5 Pro

Switch 2 (if it has full BC)

 

[Zuzu]

They need to give it a clock speed boost like they did with the One S revision. At least then it could run games a bit better without developers having to do any extra work.
