Abstract: The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's next big console that delivers unprecedented performance for the couch gamer and an experience that any Xbox One owner is used to. As an owner of each Xbox console over the past 19 years, it's a nice, but familiar console...

Abstract: The Xbox Series X is really great value at $499. 4K games already looked great on the Xbox One X, but the Series X can run the same games while operating very quietly. Moreover, it can deliver a higher level of graphical fidelity at a silky-smooth 60FPS...

Abstract: For the past several generations, new consoles have differentiated themselves with upgraded hardware and redesigned software. When you powered on your PS4 or Xbox One for the first time, you could tell the difference right away. The interface and the user...
