Grats on answering your own question. Furthermore a console is much simpler and you don't have to worry about honing on issue if you're buying components separately or potentially get shafted buying certain prebuilds. It's cost efficient for the components it uses and it just seems like you're not the target market which is fine. I built my own PC too, but I can definitely respect anyone wanting a reasonable, simple solution. Whether enough people will go for it is yet to be seen, but companies pushing high performance is only good even if we prefer other platforms. Otherwise a failure could rely on more focus on budget hardware and less optimised graphics for PC users.

It's a pity that mining has made it more difficult to get some cards.

And we come back to the CPU bottleneck for driving those high frame rates needed for the optimal VR experience. I'll never say never on this one but I think it's unlikely. We need a proper Ryzen CPU in these consoles.

Aren't MS releasing their own VR holosomething in the near future? No idea if this is relevant.

Okay for the xbox list add battlegrounds and for the ps4 list add crash bandicoot remastered.

Its funny that you say this list is biased and can then only add one game which only has a rough 2017 release date.

It matters when there are alot of comments in this thread boasting about the lack of 4k uhd player on the pro while ignoring the xbox will only have 2 exclusive retail games during all of 2017 (halo wars 2 & forza 7) versus the 17 from the ps4 list I made which is also missing games.

Why not both? :laughing:

I've pre ordered even though I have a decent gaming rig (1080Ti, 7700k Water-cooled, 850Evo etc) as I have friends that only play Xbox and I enjoy it too.

I just hope there is a 1440p option for resolution output as that is what my monitor is.

6Tflop is near a 980Ti from memory, so 5% under 1070. That should be able to drive 1440p at 60fps easily, even on ultra on BF1. Seems a decent little console for £450 from my perspective. Not sure why some are so upset with that price tag. Have a google of previous consoles (ps1, PS3, Snes etc) on their release and adjust for inflation; it may surprise you.

The same could be said for Sony. But that's the benefit of diverse companies that can ride waves.

I don't care who wins what, I play PC, but the fact of the matter is PUBG isn't coming to PS anytime in the near future, which is a shame for PS players as the game is better than the usual tripe.

All consoles are underpowered and closed platforms, but MS have the capability at least to utilise their marketshare of W10 and Xbox devices to sell software.

Why people want to play 30fps locked (if you're lucky) games I have no idea.

With OneX at least people are guaranteed a solid 60fps with 1080p made better via SS.

I cant post links on here hence the pm and it's the tweet on the article I wanted you to read from the gamescom rep

LOL ms wants to pay for the losses of sales from 60+mil consoles so it stays on their platform of 20mil (ish) that is a smart buisness plan.

Also microsoft has the huge amount of money not the xbox division if that was the case the xbox wouldn't have the fewest first party studios and the fewest firsty party games.

That's not what I said, I said "it looks like" which it may well be. If MS pay enough there's not reason for them to allow a PS release and last I checked MS had plenty of money.

the nintendo switch is selling better than both xbox one / ps4 pro and that only has a few games
xbox one x (microsoft) is a billion dollar company - they wont let it flop they will support it for at least 5 years as previous consoles furthermore they have more money in the bank than both nintendo and sony so the future does look good

12TFLOPS on overclocking? yeah I think I'll take it
XBone X is about 6TFLOPS
4K60 can only be achieved on 1080Ti. XBox will do well with 4K30, even 2K60 (which some devs are already saying they have to downscale to). As long as it's not that god awful 2K-->4K checkerboarding upscaling the PS4 pro (non 4K) dods

Yes, because the current consoles are bottlenecked by CPU. I'm fairly sure that whilst it's not the ideal solution that the millions $ spent on R&D and design will surpass even your opinion on whether this is problematic or not. I'd be tempted to side with MS.

20% VAT means that the VAT element of the total price is 20/120, or 1/6. The 20% applies to the VAT-exclusive price.

Either way, I agree that the UK price isn't excessive in comparison to the US price.
Biddy2
21 Aug 17 #161
The PC in your link isn’t really comparable. PCgamer appear to be comparing “on paper” while also moving goalposts. The admit that they haven’t priced the OS, mouse, keyboard and freely admit that the build will be suitable for 1080p max. They even state that the GTX 1060 they chose won’t be up to the higher resolutions that the X1X will be due to limited Vram. While not double the price, the X1X will last longer than that build at £150ish less. (After buying a 6gb 1060, OS etc).

Either way, I upgraded to a 1070 earlier this year so the X1X won’t be something I’ll be buying, however, if I hadn’t had bought that card, I’d definitely be buying an X1X as it’s better value in my opinion. :smile:
Illusionary
21 Aug 17 #160
Personally I don't have strong feelings either way on the pricing, but I'd just point out that £75 is VAT, not £90. As for comparability with the pricing of a gaming PC, it'll be about on par - see here: pcgamer.com/her…pc/ You certainly needn't be paying double for similar power!
Biddy2
21 Aug 17 #159
£90 of that £450 is VAT. The US will have to pay a sales tax on top so MS have actually done right by the UK and not shafted us.

The Xbox One X is incredibly great value. Really don’t get these recommendations to buy a gaming PC at twice the cost (at least) considering the power available in this thing. The price/performance ratio makes the Xbox One X much better value right now.

You also forgot to mention how that more expensive PC build will not be playing games on Ultra/High settings in 3-6 years as it too will be outdated without some kind of upgrade. :wink:
roguesspam
21 Aug 17 #158
Why would anyone buy one of these?

450 (~£80 more than the US price) for something thats worse than a pc (and yeah a pc might cost twice as much but it will last twice as long and be better than whatever console is released in 3 and 6 years time) and will be outdated in 12 month.

Such a shame they didnt call it the xbox one r tho :smile:

It is likely all pre orders will be project scorpio editions like the day one edition back in 2013, you may have to buy one after release, unless these are strictly limited to a certain number, this the problem when they brand something as 'limited' and don't specify what its limited to
tunafuturwarfare
20 Aug 17 #136
Nope, microsoft have ruled that all X games have to run on xbox one. It is just like a Pc where some games can have a higher graphics setting all be it the games that do not have the ability to do that (ie current releases excluding those that may get a patch via download later on) supposedly will have their performance tweaked in some ways even if it's a little thing like faster load times.
Also with this is mind that ALL X games have to be able to run on a xbox one, which is severely limited in it's capacity for VR means it's not likely to get the VR stuff like Sony despite the X being a more powerful machine. Unless Microsoft goes back on what it has said -but usually that's Sonys area of expertise :P
The good news is, that most powerful machine often means nothing, the console that it is easier to design the games on usually wins out and the X has meant to be such a machine (ever wondered why x companies game was so much buggier on the ps3 to the 360, because it was designed on the 360 and then ported. The other side to that is obviously it pays for a game to be designed on a less powerful console so it can be sold on that and ported to others to increase sales too which may eventually work against the X?)

People are weird. While I can never vote hot on RRP and preordering gives you an increased chance to get burned, better components cost money. People don't like the xbox one as much since it under performs compared to the ps4 or a PC, so they have another option. Options are good, and if it sells well it could mean better quality ports. I especially find it odd when people have been over hyping the switch, particularly since release where just an extra controller and 1 game would bring the whole thing to 400 quid, though at least the games aren't £60 anymore.

I won't get one, but I have nothing against the system.

Couldn't agree more. I think forza 7 with 4k textures is going to be 100gb. 2tb really needs to be the minimum, although of course it gives them an excuse to raise the prices. At least we can plug in our externals from xbox ones and they will just work. Looks like via gamescom tonight we will also be able to copy data and settings over easily when upgrading

I'm only going off what has been said but with the hovis method it's going to be very slick hardware. The bottleneck reduction they've done for starters and coding looks great. Yes it will always be behind the best PCs before it even comes out (at much greater cost). Last of us 2 will hopefully be great but there is no guarantee the rest will all be amazing. Once they release and prove their worth, then you can argue it without much resistance. In the past both have had decent exclusives. Although I've got a PS4, Switch purely for exclusives, I think things like Game Pass and EA access etc offer exceptional value for money on the Xbox but it's each to their own on gaming opinions.

Pretty sure it's the distinct lack of an identity from the system's games lineup. It's not like PS4 Pro is outselling the normal PS4, it's something like 5:1 in standard PS4 favour. Pro is a niche product as it is. I seriously doubt anyone thinks a £450 updated Xbox is the answer to the brand's current difficulties

I remember reading an article on Eurogamer stating the Ark game developer likened the Xbox One X to a PC running a gtx 1070 with 16gb ram. If that's remotely the case, then the price point offers exceptional value for money. I've read a lot of articles about how they've created the console which makes for an interesting read. Developers keep heaping praise, stating the console has tons of power and is dead easy to program for. Your 500 quid budget is going to come short when you factor in Windows/case/decent psu/peripherals etc. As well it would likely need an upgrade before the Xbox one X as you would have to cut corners creating bottlenecks.

Your comments before about no Xbox exclusives simply isn't true. Yes ps4 pro have more as we all know but we don't know whether they will all be amazing yet (fingers crossed they are good). Factor in Microsoft having tons of hidden exclusives they haven't shown any of us yet. PS VR hasn't set the world alight. Friends I know who've bought VR have sold it or just don't use it, after the two week wow factor has gone. Watch this space on how Microsoft do with this console.

Question is does the Xbox One not sell because it's underpowered or because of the games? I guess we'll find out very soon, but then we might not, as the lure of the PS5 will surely affect sales too.

If they are going to add mouse and keyboard support to the Xbox One X why bother buying one? You may aswell just put your PC under the TV. Consoles are aimed at armchairs gamers, adding mouse and keyboard support would give those who used them MASSIVE advantage over standard controller users especially in shooters as the accuracy would be way higher.

Seriously doubt this machine will sell much at all if the normal Xbox One doesn't sell at less than half the price. Sony can also reduce the cost of the Pro and bundle it when this launches. Only emphasize the gap in price.

I also doubt it will have a long life before it is replaced with a completely new generation of machines. It's not my idea of value. Honestly a £1000 PC would be better value, because it'll be relevant for longer and at least you have a massive back catalogue of thousands of games that work in native 4K instead of just a few dozen on this.

Which goes to show that 4K Blu-ray is niche, low volume and still suffers with early adopter tax syndrome.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Hollywood studios would happily subsidise 4K drives in consoles in the hope of selling a significant number of discs.

I wonder how many people are going to bother upgrading to 4K until their current FHD player breaks down!

Support in the Xbox One S must have been a big help for disc sales.

I think Microsoft really are missing an obvious trick. My PC is well overdue for an upgrade, and I would happily buy an XboneX as a replacement and never look back if they would have native mouse and keyboard support and have it as a bit more of an open platform.. Until then, no deal.

I am. We shouldn't be waiting a decade for an upgrade, people are happy to spend more to upgrade their phones every year, 5 years is a reasonable length of time for consoles imo.

Also, imagine we had to keep playing games in 720p on our 4K TVs for another 5 years.

Or you could just get the Xbox one for under £200 and enjoy the games instead of paying over double just for a slight upgrade in graphics.

I'm trying to find out my self thes question. It says You will be charged up to 7 days before the release date on there websight.

So my understanding is they won't apply for money till any time before the 7 days it's realised

I just can't find any enthusiasm for the Pro or the X at the moment. I think it's because I need to see dedicated good games that require and warrant buying a new system to begin with. The 'all games must run on all models' approach has taken the edge off it for me, personally.
littlewhitebull456
20 Aug 17 #52
Let me have a think, ssd versus HDD let's see which one will get loaded quicker. There doesn't seem to be a point in making everything run faster than the storage bus can achieve. I have an ssd as a usb plug in now for my Xbox one and it is only just making fallout 4 playable.
LotusJas
20 Aug 17 #51
What a complete waste of money. :angry:

No exclusives on the console. Far better off buying a gaming PC (and a PS4 Pro if you want a console too). :sunglasses:

Last gen I far preferred the XBox 360 to the PS3. But MS have really done everything possible to turn off gamers.

Sony have simply won by default, rather than because they deserved it - although full credit for PS VR, which is excellent. :party:

Assassins creed uses the exact same tech as pro. 1440p as standard upscale to 4K.
dave859
20 Aug 17 #40
I reckon this version will be pretty sort after in years to come, maybe even be able to make a profit on release day to which you can put towards the standard Xbox one X.
littlewhitebull456
20 Aug 17 #39
I just read the specs, looks like a lot of waiting for games to load as it's only got a HDD.
jsansom
20 Aug 17 #17
Its a deal to pre-order before it sells out...
ST3123 to jsansom
20 Aug 17 #29
Hence not a deal at all as a deal implies saving money, this is just the standard price it will be everywhere. Like all the hundreds of annoying Nintendo Switch threads that seem to pop up every other day. Still at least with this you get a LOT more for your money than with the piddly underpowered Switch but still not any kind of deal....
johnwillowlfc to ST3123

crazyshelby
20 Aug 17 #31
Preordered thanks! People are always going to troll but it will be nice to own the most powerful console ever made regardless of what is said. Microsoft have a ton of work going on behind the scenes for new exclusives and games like Sea of Thieves will be a good laugh. I for one prefer the Scorpio name so it will be great to get one badged with it. Anyone worried about payment, Amazon will charge you in November just before it is dispatched. Cuphead to look forward to on 29th Sept as well Xbox peeps!

Nope, it's still an Xbox one. Plays the same games, just a little prettier.
ste1975 to littlewhitebull456

A few exclusives will be available in the run up to launch, and in Q1 2018. Plus 100 existing titles are set to be graphically updated when played on the X.
herby247
20 Aug 17 #32
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has went on the record to say the "core" sales of Xbox, will be the Xbox One S, the £220 ish console, that INCLUDES a 4K blu ray player that the £350 PS4 Pro does not!
However,
Microsoft have identified that there is a wealth of player who have high end 4K tv's and want to play their Xbox games on the best definition possible, so they created Xbox One X, to allow people wanting a premium Xbox experience to have the ability to do so.
If you can't afford that then the £220 console is for you.
Craigy.B
20 Aug 17 #30
Hopefully closer to time they will announce a free game to go with it, maybe AC Origins??
Talib
20 Aug 17 #4
£120 more than the Pro? Wow. Do Microsoft not understand they have to compete on price when they are a mile behind the competition? Would help if they invested in their first party too.
Daytrader to Talib
20 Aug 17 #24
But 120 more than a Pro is worth it, as its so much more powerful.
Illusionary to Talib
20 Aug 17 #28
We've known the price since E3 :wink: I'll not be buying, but understand where they're coming from with the price.

pommybear
20 Aug 17 #7
Keeping in mind that a 4K Blu-ray player is normally £200+ alone, it's not badly priced. It's actually cheaper than I thought it would be. I expected £599.
herby247 to pommybear
20 Aug 17 #15
The £449.99 price was revealed at E3 in June!
blanka
20 Aug 17 #13
For a top spec console I would have liked a 2tb internal at least personally. Have the top end 4k player.... Hats off. Just falls short with memory (aware of external.... But I'd rather have a big internal). Regardless not voting either way as it's the Base retail price. Hats off for the heads up though.
Personally prefer more exclusives. However assassins creed will look amazing on this.
