The editors didn't like
If you've got money to spend
A decent PC will still take you further (and is upgradeable)
1 TB hard drive is not prepared for the realities of modern gaming
User interface is still a mess
At $500
It's the most expensive game console right now. The list of console-exclusive titles generally falls short of its direct competition
The PS4 Pro. Not every game will receive 4K or HDR enhancements
Game files are large and you'll quickly fill up your hard drive
Expensive
Cost of getting initial setup high
No SSD
Still a hard drive
Only improves certain games
Lacking exclusives compared to competition
UI still a little clunky
Limited exclusive game library
A bit expensive
Expensive compared to the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro
Rectangular
Matte design is functional
But not beautiful
Lack of VR to tap into this powerful hardware is disappointing
Games will take some time to fully exploit the X's 4K graphics via updates
No tr
Only comes in black (at launch)
Power button remains unrepentantly attractive to toddler fingers
Controller should come with rechargeable batteries
Self-repair voids any/all hardware warranty
Weird disc tray position
Controller button sticks
UI remains the same
Heavy
Software exclusives
Interface can be a nightmare to navigate
Xbox One controller relies on AA batteries
Definitely expensive
1TB hard drive fills up fast
Fan can occasionally get loud when playing 4K HDR Blu-Ray's
Not worth it if you don't have a 4K TV

You are paying a 2X premium
Additional Atmos license is a slap
1 TB internal storage limit
No larger model available
4K games often don't reach close to 60FPS
Many non-4K gaming features available in Xbox One S for much less money
Should you buy the Xbox One X? The answer at this early stage is, well, possibly. It all boils down to what you have right now, whether you're desperate for 4K games and whether you're up for spending this much on a games console that doesn't offer a huge...
The Xbox One X is massively powerful and comes at a steep price. But compared to the equivalent gaming PC, it's exceptionally cheap. Right now, its appeal is slightly limited by the selection of launch titles, but if you're a Forza, Assassin's Creed or Ge...
Super speedy, Packed with power and potential, Native 4K gaming at 60fps, Great 4K Blu-ray player, Dolby Atmos support
Needs a bigger library of “enhanced” games to give it true purpose, No Dolby Vision support for video
Having now played on an official Xbox One X, it is clear that it oozes potential, but developers probably won't make full use of it for a year or so. It might be technically better than the PS4 Pro, but it'll be a while before you notice any difference in...

For now, picking up the PS4 Pro looks like a pretty safe bet. It's a lot cheaper than Microsoft's alternative, especially if you're hoping to take up VR as well. It may lag slightly in performance and power, but probably not enough for the average player...
For most people the Xbox One S will prove a better purchase than the Scorpio. It's cheaper, it runs the same games, and you can grab one right now - or wait for the price to potentially drop even further once the One X is out. Still, if you're the type to...

Abstract: Several years ago, Xbox chief Phil Spencer, went to Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, and CFO, Amy Hood, with a somewhat unorthodox plan for the company's latest console. It is not unheard of for a games machine to receive a hardware update at some point in...
Clean, detailed and immersive 4K image, Bright and punchy HDR, Improved user interface, Bitstream audio support,
Picture and sound can be bettered for less money, Some set-up quirks, No 4K pass-through over HDMI, 1TB hard drive isn't big enough,
The Xbox interface has never been better and the X's new bitstreaming ability brings it into line with common 4K Blu-ray decks, which can only be a good thing. There's also a bump in Blu-ray picture quality and its audio abilities are more rounded.But the...

Games look phenomenal, Dolby Atmos is a game-changer, Compact size
Expensive, Drab colour-scheme
Microsoft has finally given the world its first look at the Xbox One X, the new console that's capable of pushing out over a whopping 8 million pixels of HDR-equipped pixels. The games look and sound better than they ever have before, just make sure you h...
