Despite the disastrous start, it cannot be said that the creation Xbox one was a mistake. Considering that the flaws in the plan technical protection copyright was successfully fixed with the release of the update.
The 2016 Xbox One looks different from the 2013 model, which should be cause for envy.
The last doubts about the success of the project were dispelled when, in just a couple of years Microsoft turned her product into an excellent game console... Many of those who, after an unsuccessful acquaintance with Xbox 360 switched to the company's products Sony now they bite their elbows, realizing that they seem to have made the wrong bet.
Sony playstation 4 has served me faithfully for two years now. But I think it's time to push the boundaries, so I got the Xbox One. Seemingly perfect, I have 2 of the most promising game consoles in the world. But not everything is as rosy as it might seem at first glance.
Below are 9 pros and cons of buying an Xbox One for someone who already owns PS 4.
Although fans reject it, the fact remains that the Sony PlayStation lacks exclusive games. 2015 was the first year that the company delighted players with really worthwhile releases such as Bloodborne and underestimated Until daw n. But the presence quality games for PS4 so far more the exception than the rule. Each Bloodborne has its own Order: 1886, which will nullify all the efforts of the company.
2016 looks promising. But given the many delays, cancellations, and disappointing releases that PS4 has consistently delivered over the past 2 years, the confidence in the success Horizon: Zero Dawn and The last guardian melts before our eyes.
The Xbox One also doesn't have a perfect reputation for releasing exclusive games. But the amount of disappointments similar to the PlayStation, in the case of the Xbox, can be safely ignored thanks to games such as Titanfall and Rise of the Tomb Raider overshadowed the bad exit Ryse: Son of Rome.
8. Xbox Competitive Advantage - Regular Updates
Monthly updates boost the Xbox One's credibility significantly. As a company that nobody believed in success a couple of years ago, Microsoft chose the right tactic. Regular updates characterize the company as customer-oriented, aimed at constant improvement of gameplay and development of new functions, which cannot leave anyone indifferent.
At the same time, Sony is taking on long-term and labor-intensive processes, as a result of which the release of the update is delayed for many months. As a result, even those shortcomings that were found after the start of sales of the console have not yet been fixed. It seems Sony is simply not in the mood to tackle such global problems.
Seeing Microsoft's focus on continuous improvement and analysis of their products, their desire to develop, you start to think that Xbox one can last much longer.
As much as we try to deny the obvious, but Playstation network- sucks. Surely it's better now than it was in the days Playstation 3, but still too far from what it really should be. The Playstation Network has badly tarnished its reputation with all these unplanned outages, disconnections and updates that inevitably take the service out of service every time. And when Sony introduced a paid subscription, there was a hope that everything would be fixed, but, as they say, things are still there.
In the same time Xbox live turned out to be one of the most reliable services of this type. Having set a solid foundation for itself in the days of the Xbox 360, Microsoft today does little to maintain its reputation for fast, reliable service.
Of course it is not main feature, based on which one can draw conclusions about the advantages of one console over another, but still. The Internet is more and more penetrating into all areas of our life. This means that if Sony does not take up their service, they are in great danger.
6. Graphics matter
Of course, you can close your eyes to insufficient brightness or paucity of colors, but poor performance and a small resolution instantly reduce the pleasure of the gameplay by at least half.
If you have both consoles, then of course you will not make a choice in favor of technically more weak game, which, unfortunately, is the Xbox One's fault when it comes to third-party games.
Naturally, if you have only one set-top box, then there is no problem, since you simply have nothing to compare with. The only choice is one game with not the best graphics or another, where the graphics are better, but the plot is not at all the same.
5. No one can resist the exclusive
Honestly, the main Microsoft products, such as Halo, Crackdow n and Gears of war not enough to rush to get a second set-top box. Of course, the matter is not limited to these three games ( Sunset overdrive 2014 is just something), but it's still a drop in the bucket.
It makes no sense to have both consoles for the sake of multiplatform games. When you have the opportunity to choose, you simply purchase the version for the console that seems more convenient to you. Accordingly, the presence of exclusive content is the only reason why both consoles can escape the fate of being buried under a layer of dust.
Consider, does Microsoft have content that interests you? If your answer is yes, then great, you should definitely have both. But if the lack of Gears or Halo doesn't bother you, then think about whether you need extra hardware at home.
4. Backward compatibility isn't really that important
Announced by Xbox One in 2015, the backward compatibility feature is undoubtedly one of the best features introduced that year. No other company has done this. Usually, it happens the other way around, after the release, already existing functions are removed, instead of adding new ones. The envy of PlayStation4 owners can be felt with your hands. You bet, after all, in fact, Microsoft added hundreds of classic games to their libraries for free.
But if you don't spend all your time on the classics Xbox games 360, then there is no reason to be upset. While it's undoubtedly nice to be able to choose, even if it's ridiculously cheap Xbox 360 games are gathering dust in the far corner.
3. Game announcements are getting less and less impressive
Let's face it, we all love console wars. On any big event such as for example E3, the most pleasant moment is the press conferences, when everyone is divided into opposing teams, where each team strives to present something new, different from the others. You can savor these minutes forever.
Yes, maybe it's childish and not solid. But remember what a standing ovation Sony got at E3 in 2013, when the PS4 was introduced at a lower price than the Xbox One and with fewer restrictions. Now think about whether it caused you the same excitement if you were going to buy both consoles at once?
By the way, I personally purchased Xbox One before Sony announced a partnership with Hideo Kojima, which was the biggest news in the history of Playstation 4
The release of new large-scale games is a significant event in itself. But the hype that grows between supporters of different gaming consoles today looks more interesting than the hype raised by the press around the game itself.
It doesn't matter what was said earlier. If you and your friends use different prefixes, some of you have clearly made the wrong choice. Social networks penetrate everywhere. Sony and Microsoft did not stay away from this trend either when creating the main menu for their set-top boxes. And if you have no friends, then main screen will look lifeless and boring.
Not to mention the fact that you will lose a lot by playing Online Games by oneself. Today, even single-player games unobtrusively push the user towards the need to socialize. By playing alone, you lose some of the chips that the game has to offer. And as a result, the gaming experience is completely different.
So, when you are going to purchase a game console, spend a little time and find out what your friends are using. For the sake of being able to communicate, share experiences and impressions, you can survive possible graphic and game flaws.
1. Having both consoles isn't so cool
I have to admit that having both consoles is not as cool as it seemed. I'm still dedicated to PS4. And despite (let's be honest, not that massive) an Xbox exclusive, I don't think I'll be using the second console that much.
However, I will not dissuade you from purchasing a second console. In any case, this will untie your hands and give access to all the goodies in the game. It's definitely cool to be able to choose without looking at the specs. But the choice is still not large enough to justify the cost of new equipment.
If you don’t have extra money, you will lose a little by refusing to participate in the console wars. The spirit of rivalry, the delight of realizing oneself as a part of the gaming world - all this is not as bright as it seems at first glance.
Plus there is Wii U and NX. What is not a reason for controversy?
But since we already received our console and managed to play the first games, we decided to think about whether gamers should buy a new console from Microsoft and how the games look on it conventional screens and newfangled format displays 4K.
Microsoft is promoting Xbox one x as a platform for full 4K gaming with advanced audio Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, but we all remember very well what happened to HD in the last generation. Most of the projects did not fully support 720p let alone honest 1080p that some companies have promised. That's why the right approach- not to list the technical characteristics of the console and compare the theoretical performance, but to see how real products work. Good comparative test held Digital foundry by measuring real resolution in on Xbox one x and PlayStation 4 Pro.
For extra power Xbox one x can be used in two ways: focus on 4K resolution (Resolution mode) or focus on image quality (Quality mode). Real 4K resolution is 3840x2160... In Resolution mode Shadow of war works just in 4K with refresh rate 30FPS.
In turn, in the Quality mode, the filtering of textures is slightly increased and the visibility of objects in the distance is improved, while the resolution drops slightly and is on average 3360x1890.
On the PS4 Pro the game in high resolution mode works on average at 2880x1620... And if you set the priority to “quality”, then the picture becomes a little more detailed, but at the same time the resolution drops to 2784x1566... Of course, in any case, it is significantly ahead of the basic consoles, which give a picture at most in 1920x1080.
In addition, the journalists found that the version for Xbox one x displays textures improved quality clearly visible on large TVs... By drawing distance Xbox one x also appeared slightly ahead.
Will all games be fair 4K on Xbox one x, only time will tell, but even now both theory and practice say that this is indeed the most powerful set-top box on the market, even outstripping PS4 Pro... And just like the console from Sony, Xbox one x supports technology HDR, which on compatible TVs produces a more saturated and realistic picture for the human eye, which is clearly visible in a car simulator Forza Motorsport 7 which runs in fair 4K at 60fps.
Will game companies do separate versions for new console Microsoft and squeeze out Xbox one x all the power? Here you need to understand that games are developed taking into account all models available systems... For full compatibility between Xbox one and Xbox one x studios will have to consider the characteristics of the base model. But based on the example of the projects already available, we can conclude that the versions for the new console will look much sharper and offer improvements in performance or detail - both on 4K displays and on standard FullHD TVs.
Separately, it must be said that even if the developers do not add improved versions of textures, standard textures on 4K displays will still look much prettier due to the increased definition of rendering. As a result, you will see much more detail - both up close and away from your character. In this regard, a good 4K TV and new console work miracles.
A complete list of games that are being remade for Xbox one x, impressive: there are already released projects, like Final fantasy xv, and new items for the next month by type Star War: Battlefront II... Very important for Russian users example is a game World of tanks .
It was already available for Xbox one but the company Wargaming to release Xbox one x has prepared an update with support for 4K resolution and newfangled HDR lighting. Moreover, the versions WoT on Xbox one and Xbox 360 compatible (players fight on the same server) and differ from computer ones. For example, a PvE story mode was introduced on the console version, in which you can complete missions and train before competitive battles.
Of course, in Russia, not everyone has 4K TVs with HDR, but once exactly the same was said about FullHD. Increasing the number of pixels by four times really greatly improves the picture and just gives the same feeling of changing generations, as during the transition from PS2 and CRT TVs on PS3 with HD graphics. It's not useless 3D with glasses, the fashion for which quickly passed. Ultra HD is really useful in games and in movies, so sooner or later everyone will switch to it.
On the Yandex.Market already now the price tag for 4K screens starts from reasonable 40 thousand rubles and premium OLEDs have dropped in price up to 100 thousand rubles, so it's time to think about the upgrade. AND Xbox one x will provide decent 4K content.
In addition, the console will improve the graphics and 1080p on FullHD TVs. We all know that the original Xbox one in many projects gave out only 900p and sometimes 720p... On the Xbox one x these projects after the patches work already in 1080p and delight with improved anti-aliasing and effects.
Some studios are also adding new sharper textures. For example, Remedy released a huge update for its action adventure game.
On the Xbox one x many of the older games that are Xbox one worked in dynamic resolution mode (for example, Halo 5: Guardians) will automatically produce a clearer picture with a more stable frame rate. Tearing also disappears in problem projects.
Another feature that it shows off Microsoft is called Supersampling: the picture in the game is first rendered in 4K and then displayed in 1080p... This makes it possible to get "as if 4K" on regular TV FullHD, and the result will be better than if the game just worked in 1080p.
Finally, the extra power allows for faster loading times for games, which is good news. However, the console remains very quiet.
Of course, the console itself as a piece of iron is not needed by anyone, people are interested in games. And in this regard, on systems of the family Xbox one most projects come out, including from Microsoft... So on Xbox one x you can immediately play Star Wars: Battlefront II or Assassin's Creed Origins with the best graphics on consoles. Given the fact that a computer that will pull a similar picture in 4K, is significantly more expensive, Xbox one x becomes an excellent replacement for powerful PC.
If the graphics do not bother you at all, and multi-platform games already have something to run on, then it is worth remembering the exclusives. Microsoft... The company considers itself a platform holder and Xbox, and PC, and in recent times releases key games both there and there. Among such Microsoft-exclusives - and big projects like Forza Motorsport 7 and Gears of War 4, and powerful indies by type Cuphead and Ori and the Blind Forest, which are not on other consoles.
Have Xbox one there are also full exclusives, the key ones of which are - Halo 5: Guardians and collection Halo: Master Chief Collection... Cycle Halo is the same face Xbox, how Super mario- face of consoles Nintendo... The very first part Halo showed how to make shooters for consoles, and her innovations are still used by everyone modern games genre. So, you should familiarize yourself with the adventures of the Master Chief at least to broaden your horizons.
Backward compatibility serves the same purpose. Xbox one With Xbox 360... Among the projects available under the program, there is also a multi-platform, like Red dead redemption or Catherine, and exclusives. Many real masterpieces are hidden here. For example, only on Xbox you can play Japanese RPGs Blue dragon and, made in the best traditions of the golden age of the genre. Here are the iconic Fable ii from Peter Molyneux, Viva pinata from the studio Rare, Halo: Reach, Gears of War 2 and much more. In total, more than 400 games support backward compatibility, with improved graphics and frame rates. And especially on Xbox One X, the developers are preparing updates for these games, which will allow them to launch hits with Xbox 360 v 4K and HDR- and this is really very cool.
Besides, Microsoft expanded the service and started porting games from the very first Xbox on Xbox one... You can already play cult classics, like from BioWare which works in high definition.
Of course, for a simple acquaintance with the games, it is enough to have and Xbox one s... Upgrade from it to Xbox one x makes sense if graphics are really important to you, or if you prefer to keep only the most advanced devices at home. Relatively speaking, the choice between Xbox one s and Xbox one x is like choosing between two versions iPhone: and everything works on the older one, but the new one is noticeably better and more solid.
What is especially pleasing, apart from graphics, is the size and appearance- especially after the standard model Xbox one. Xbox one x looks great and is very compact. It can be placed vertically. This is important for those who already have a lot of set-top boxes next to the TV, and there would be simply nowhere to put a bulky box. If you've never had Xbox one or even Xbox 360, then Xbox one x is a great excuse to see what has been going on there for Xbox fans over the past decade and understand why millions of gamers love Halo, Gears of war and Forza.
What do you think about Xbox one x? Be sure to leave your opinions in the comments below.
This is not a new generation. It's just Xbox One on steroids. Microsoft followed Sony and its Playstation 4 Pro and released the same thing, but much more powerful. So if you have an Xbox One S, sit still.
2. A small number of exclusive games
A small number of exclusive games. Of course, there are titles that could show the real power of the Xbox One X. There are real gems like Forza Motorsport 7 or Gears of War 4, but that's still too little.
3. It's pointless without a 4K TV
Without good tv 4K is nowhere. Someone will say that this argument is very far-fetched, because the Xbox One X can run on FullHD TVs without any problems. It even has quite a few improvements, from better textures to better anti-aliasing. But probably no one will argue that the full potential of this console can only be unleashed with a 4K TV and an expanded HDR range.
4. Not too many differences from the Xbox One S
Tough competition with ... Xbox One S. Sounds ridiculous? Maybe a little, but ask yourself the question - how is the new Xbox One X better than the old one? In general, there are quite a few differences. In the case of the new X, we are buying raw power, the true potential of which has a chance to unfold only sometime in the future. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a little for this. Widget from SocialMart
5. High price
The price ... And in it I see the biggest problem of Xbox One X. Don't be fooled, 40,000 rubles is a pretty big amount for a console, especially for people of a slightly older generation (25+). And even this is even slightly more expensive than the Playstation 4 Pro. Xbox One S can be bought now for less than 18,000 rubles. And there is very Great chance that as a result, for the next couple of years, you will not notice the difference.Should you buy an Xbox One X?
A new console is always a joy. It's a shame the Xbox One X doesn't offer a lot of perks that would somehow make it a more exclusive platform. Such, for example, as more interesting interface, or special functions, or, most importantly, games that would make your friends jaw drop.But even though all of this is missing, it's still an interesting top-end option for anyone just thinking about getting into the console world. Or for those who have finally decided to ditch the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 and buy something really new. Most likely, in this case, it is better to buy for the future.
I've already talked about what to look out for before buying a Playstation 4 in. Not to leave any gaps, let's take a look at the features of Microsoft's second next-generation console, the Xbox One. For those interested in this prefix, I advise you to read with comments after use, and in this material, accents are placed on the most interesting moments XBOX Buyers Should Know.
1. Package XBOX One
Xbox One comes with one game controller, second generation Kinect sensor, HDMI cable, power supply and cable to it. In addition to the above, the kit includes a headset for communicating with other players. It is worth noting that this headset was initially wanted to be removed from the kit, as Microsoft tried to stay within the $ 499 price range, and the headset did not allow it. As a result potential buyers were not hurt.
2. Mandatory update
As with PS4 users, immediately after purchase and Xbox connections One you have to download and install mandatory update, which will allow you to make active many of the locked functions of the set-top box. The patch with updates for Xbox One takes about 500 MB. The time and speed of installation and download depends on the speed of your Internet connection (on average this procedure takes 15-20 minutes). Without installation this update you will not be able to play games, since the console requires its installation without fail.
3. Downloading content and storing it
Users will be able to buy almost everything with no regional restrictions, as is the case with the Playstation 4. Xbox one has the ability to connect an external hard drive to the console to save purchased games - useful function when space runs out on the internal Xbox One hard drive. In the next generation console, this is especially true, since absolutely all games require full push installation to your hard drive. Let me remind you that the console is integrated HDD 500 GB without the possibility of replacement with HDD larger size. By the way, at the beginning of sales, the ability to connect an external drive will be absent, but it will become available in future updates.
4. Games on the day of the release of XBOX One
On November 22, along with the start of Xbox One sales, 21 games will arrive in stores and the Xbox Live digital distribution service. 6 titles will be exclusive to this console: Dead Rising 3, Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, Crimson Dragon and digital copies only - Lococycle and Killer Instinct. Several multi-platform projects will also be available: Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Skylanders: Swap Force, Need for Speed: Rivals, Just Dance 4, Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Madden 25, NBA 2K14, FIFA 14, NBA Live 14, Zumba Fitness World Party, Fighter Within, Powerstar Golf, Zoo Tycoon and Angry Birds Star Wars ...
5. Using cable TV in XBOX One
There is one HDMI input on board the Xbox One, which is required for connection external source signal. For example, for satellite receiver that will turn the Xbox One into a multimedia hub. Also, the console has a functionality that allows you to switch between the game and the TV show using a controller, gestures or voice commands, but first I recommend reading. There is also a built-in TV guide with the ability to select your favorite channels and assign each of them a unique voice command for quick switching.
6.Kinect second generation sensor
XBOX One kits will now ship with and without a Kinect 2.0 sensor. The Kinect camera has undergone significant changes:
- a wider view of the room
- ability to work in complete darkness
- Kinect face detector loads your game profile immediately
- voice recognition of registered users
- the sensor is able to detect your emotions and state
- Built-in Xbox Fitness app that lets you exercise with the new Kinect.
7. New Dashboard
As you already know, dashboard is the name of the main menu of Xbox consoles, starting with the Xbox 360. Now the main menu lends itself to subtle individual customization... Users can customize color scheme, pin your Home page to 25 of your favorite games, apps, TV series or movies for quick access to the content. The console menu is the prototype for the interface of modern smartphones and tablets running Windows 8. Microsoft adheres to the Metro interface on all of its devices. To be extremely literate, the Xbox One works on the basis of 3 operating systems that are running in parallel:
- system for launching applications
- system for running video games
- a system that links the previous two together
8. Skype on XBOX One
Skype is integrated into Xbox One at the OS level, just like Windows 8.1. You can make video calls using your contact list and the updated Kinect sensor. In this case, you move around the room, since the smart camera will focus on you until you leave its field of view. If there is no one else in the room except you, Kinect will enlarge your face for the comfort of the interlocutor, and in the presence of the company the camera will cover every person. You can play video games while talking on Skype or watch TV in parallel. Your interlocutor will be displayed in a reduced window on the right so as not to interfere gameplay or watching TV.
9. New controller for XBOX One
The Xbox One controller will contain over 40 innovations, ranging from a recessed battery compartment (in the previous version of the gamepad, this protrusion interfered with some) and a slight redesign, ending with additional vibration motors that are built into the controller triggers. Now, when shooting in shooters, you will feel the recoil of the weapon in the form of distinct impulses under your fingers. Also, by popular request of fans of fighting games, the so-called D-pad (cross) has been redesigned. Directional buttons became more precise in pressing and better separated from each other, in Start and Back they were replaced by Menu and View. The gamepad itself has decreased somewhat in size.
10. Sales start date and price
In Russia, the start of sales is postponed to September 5, 2014, according to Microsoft, the release was postponed, since for some countries they did not have time to finish the interface (including voice commands in national languages), and legal issues have not been resolved. The Xbox One kit with the Kinect sensor will cost the residents of the Russian Federation in27 499 rubles, which is 500 rubles less than the price that appears in the recent information leak. If you do not want to spend money on Kinect, then you can buy yourself only the Xbox One itself with a game controller. Such a kit will cost you20 999 rubles, which is as much as 2000 rubles less than the previously published figures.
An Xbox One update this early by industry standards might be confusing or alarming, but don't worry, in this article we'll cover everything you need to know about "the most powerful console of all time," as Microsoft calls it.
The Xbox One X is a more powerful 4K-ready version of the Xbox One. It supports all Xbox One games and accessories, but is also capable of running select games in 4K and delivers faster load times and sharper images on 1080p panels. In many ways, it is similar to the Xbox One S, but its body will be even thinner. Like the One S, it is also capable of reproducing Blu-ray discs with 4K resolution.
Specifications: the most powerful console of all time
Based on the official specs released by Microsoft, the Xbox One X really claims to be the most powerful game console of all time.
| Microsoft Xbox One X | Sony PlayStation 4 Pro | |
| Price | $499 | $399 |
| CPU | 2.3 GHz, 8 cores | 2.1 GHz, 8 cores |
| GPU | AMD Polaris architecture, 6 teraflops | AMD Polaris architecture, 4.2 teraflops |
| 4K and HDR support | Yes | Yes |
| VR support | Not yet | Yes |
The new system will receive a specially designed 2.3 GHz 8-core CPU, graphics accelerator With clock frequency 1172 MHz, 12 GB random access memory, 1TB storage and 4K Blu-ray player. Based on these data, the Xbox One X bypasses the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro in almost all respects, which is equipped with a 2.1 GHz processor, a video chip with a frequency of 811 MHz, 8 GB operating memory and standard player Blu-ray. By layman standards, the Xbox One X is about 30 percent faster than the Xbox One and has nearly four times the graphics power.
Based on testing data obtained by employees Digital foundry, Xbox One X has no problem maintaining consistent frame rates when switching to ultra high resolution... Moreover, some of the games tested demonstrate even higher frame rate when going from 1080p to 4K. This is serious power.
The Xbox One X is also expected to be able to run Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at higher frame rates and more. fast loading... New features will include the ability to capture gameplay video and record clips in 4K resolution. According to information Digital foundry, the set-top box will support AMD FreeSync technology, as well as the latest HDMI 2.1 specification, which means that owners gaming monitors FreeSync compatible will enjoy even smoother picture.
Which games will be optimized for the Xbox One X?
 |
All Xbox One games will go to Xbox One X, but few will be optimized for 4K HDR gameplay. Look for the Xbox One Enhanced logo, 4K and HDR labels on the box to determine if a game is related.
To date, the list of 4K games for Xbox One X includes Forza Motorsport 7, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Assassin's Creed Origins and Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. Microsoft is also planning to release 4K patches for such games for Xbox. One, like Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, and Killer Instinct.
Will Xbox One X support VR headsets?
Obviously, the Xbox One X is designed with VR headset support in mind. high class, Microsoft has not yet announced compatibility with any of the models on the market like the Oculus Rift and Htc vive and with none of the mixed reality helmets self-developed. Microsoft representatives did not mention VR during the big Xbox briefing at E3 2017, however, Xbox head Phil Spencer recently told to Cnet correspondents that VR is definitely on the development plans.
Will my Xbox One X be obsolete with the Xbox One X?
Not at all, by at least, bye. Xbox One X, Xbox One S and Xbox One are all members of the same family, and all Xbox One games will run on all three consoles for the foreseeable future. If everything goes as Microsoft plans, the Xbox One will become something of a smartphone: the device you have today will support the most latest apps and games for at least the next few years, but if you want the highest possible performance, then you will be offered a premium modification.
Should you buy an Xbox One X?
If you already have a 4K TV and want the most powerful game console then the Xbox One X deserves its $ 499 price tag. In our experience with 4K games like Forza Motorsport 7 and Assassin's Creed Origins, the One X delivers a completely exceptional level of detail in AAA games.
 |
Meanwhile, the Sony PS4 Pro also supports 4K (albeit on slightly weaker hardware) and costs $ 399, while Microsoft's Xbox One S offers 4K streaming, 4K Blu-ray support and the same huge gaming library. for only $ 249.
It's also worth noting that much of what the Xbox One X has to offer can be obtained simply by buying or building a decent gaming PC. PC gamers already have access to the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive virtual reality headsets, and thanks to the Microsoft Play Anywhere initiative, you can play almost everything recent games this company on Windows 10. Most likely, you will have to pay about $ 1000 for 4K and VR support, but in return you will receive all the benefits of owning gaming computer, including access to the world's largest game library.
Of course, we can't say for sure if the Xbox One X is worth a purchase until we get our hands on the retail version of the box. We hope to take a closer look at this console and present you with the final verdict just before it goes on sale.
