Join Microsoft for the Xbox One X launch event

[Greg S]

The Xbox One X console is officially set for launch on November 7, 2017. On November 6, Microsoft will be live broadcasting the one hour unveiling event from Mixer NYC Studio at its flagship store in New York at 8 PM Pacific time.

The event can be watched from the mixer app on Android and iOS, the Xbox channel on Twitch, the Xbox YouTube channel, or Facebook Live. For those in New York City, Microsoft will be giving away a Samsung QLED 4K TV and some Xbox gear at the event.

Pre-ordering the Xbox One X will allow consumers to pick up their console from a Microsoft store at 9 PM Pacific time immediately after the launch event. Approximately 600 Best Buy locations will also be able to distribute consoles following the event, as well as giveaways.

Microsoft says that the Xbox One X is the "world’s most powerful console" to date, but that really is not much to go off. The Xbox One X is available now for pre-order and will cost you $499.99. Full specifications of the console are unavailable until the launch event takes place.

"Microsoft says that the Xbox One X is the "world’s most powerful console" to date, but that really is not much to go off. "

They've also released a decent amount of tech specs, done a bunch of technical analysis with digital foundry, and tons of third party devs have talked about how powerful it is and we have official information as for resolution and framerate on many games.

I guess thats not much to go off of either. Im not even fanboying here.

If anyone wants any sort of technical insight that includes some of the "specifications that are unavailable until the launch event takes place", you can get a decent picture here. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-project-scorpio-tech-revealed
consisting of information we had months and months ago, long before even e3.

Obviously, full specs arent covered, but its definitely more to go on than "not much to go off of".

I don't see it selling very much at this price point. If PS4 Pro can't sell more than 3-4m units a year at $399 then Xbox One X certainly can't at $499, it's the games that primarily drove PS4 sales

Once 4k becomes more common the price will drop or Sony will come out with something roughly as powerful for $50 less
