I'm missing the Kinect already
The Xbox Series X represents a massive improvement over its predecessors. With a blisteringly fast SSD, a powerful GPU, and an impossibly quiet cooling system, this system ushers in the 4K / 60 era with a bang. Throw in far-reaching backwards compatibilit...

Backwards compatible updates are impressive, Console design is sleek, 'Velocity Architecture' technology feels truly next-gen
No system-selling games, Design might not fit in some TV cabinets, Upgrading storage is expensive
The answer to the above question depends on how much you care about visual fidelity. As it stands, there's no true system-selling game available for Microsoft's new console. That said, some of the upgrades to existing titles, like games running at a more...

Gorgeous graphics, fast load times, great backwards compatibility, it's super quiet,
UI hasn't changed, there's not enough games or tech capable of utilising the specs right now
The load times are also helped by the new Quick Resume functionality. This allows you to jump right back into a game you've left suspended.Once you jump back into one of these games, you'll automatically go to the game's menu. A ‘Quick Resume' logo pop up...
All things considered, the Xbox Series X is an absolute monster in terms of performance and staggeringly quiet, even when gaming flat out. What has been accomplished here by the team of engineers inside Microsoft is technically, incredibly impressive.The...

Abstract: The new top of range gaming console from Microsoft, the Xbox Series X (Xbox from now on), is a real statement when it comes to design. It's sleek, simple and elegant on the outside, a real powerhouse in the inside. It may not fit in your existing gaming o...
