I just got the ones s. So might wait a year or so. Depends on games.
Having the strongest hardware has never been the advantage Microsoft and Sony have tried to sell us on. The top selling console has always been the one that has either sold first in the market or had the most exclusives. The Xbox X looks great, but I see no reason to buy one over the PS4 Pro - which has more of the games I'd be interested in. The Xbox One S is a great unit at really competitive prices which will only hurt the X even further.
For gamers that really care about processing power, they likely already have a great high-end gaming PC - which would share most of the exclusives that the X would feature.
In my opinion, Sony will continue to win this generation with the Pro - as they will drop its price by $50/$100 when the X launches - making it a much harder upsell for people reviewing the two options.
They still have about (I exaggerate) 5 Xbox One exclusives, with maybe 5 in the works. I lost count of PS4's at 20+.
I'm sure it's a fine console in terms of power, but so is shoving $700 GPU into a computer. You need the games, sonny.
It's been known for almost a year by some of us that it was going to be named the Xbox One X, retail for US$499, and release in November 2017. It's just now become official/embargo lifted at E3. The hardware is still a let-down though, they're definitely making profits from each unit.
The PS4 really embarrassed the Xbox One, and this was Microsoft's chance to return the favour.
Personally I think they should've pissid on SONY and Nintendo, and just gone ahead and made the Xbox Two.

GPU Specs: "Fake 10TFlops" rating, Actual 5TFlops (FP32), 1,200MHz, RX 580-based

PSU: 240W (actual draw 40W-180W)
Features: USB-C ports, a 4K-BR player
Retail: US$499 (priced equal or slight loss)Performance?
Less noise, heat, and consumption than PS4 Pro.
Whilst hitting 60fps (unlike PS4 Pro's 30fps).
Actually running native 2160p resolution (unlike PS4 Pro's 1440p).
And at a small modification to Graphical Settings to High, HDR and FXAA (unlike PS4 Pro's Very High, Checkboard, MLAA).
…
…basically rivalling a mid-range Gaming PC as opposed to PS4 Pro's low-end performance. These are consoles both companies expect to serve this target quality for at least until 2022, meaning SONY comes up quite short.PS:
It would've been wise for them to sell the Xbox One S in even smaller form-factor (smaller than PS4 Slim). They could've done it by upgrading the HDD bay from a 2.5" size to a 3.5" size, but completely removing the BR player. They should've marketed it for Download/Online only console back in Nov 2016. Perhaps keep the pricing but include a 6month free XBL Gold membership with each unit, or make it $50 cheaper US$249, or both.I'm more interested to see how cheap I get an XB1 S now.
Nice price shame there is nothing to play on the xbox that i cant play on PS4 and PC
Awesome! hopefully this means PS4/pro will come down in price.
They'll knock $50 in November, maybe $100 to increase the price difference with the One X. They won't do it until they have to.
Too expensive when One S is so cheap now.
I will try to bikie one on the day one.
Was going to be day one purchase only if it was $650 with a game/elite controller. Will wait till after Christmas since I already have an Xbox and there is no need to update without a 4K tv
