E3 2017: This Is What Xbox One X Looks Like

Also, a name!

By on

25 Comments

Microsoft's E3 2017 press briefing is currently happening, and it started out with a bang: it revealed the look of the Scorpio console.

Not surprisingly, it is a sleek, boxy console, similar to the Xbox One S. But it's entirely black, and seems really small for a console that's a dramatic step up in power from the Xbox One. It is, in fact, the smallest Xbox console ever. Check it out:

In addition, Microsoft announced that the console is now called Xbox One X, dropping the Scorpio moniker. The system launches in November.

The company's talking a lot about the console, so keep an eye on GameSpot's liveblog and E3 hub for more news.

Eh, I thought Microsoft said it was the smaller Xbox One ever; it looks exactly the same size as the s.

Do I care what the name is, No, do I care how it looks, No. What I do care about is how much and how well it runs. As far as games goes I am not too concerned as long as the price is right.

I really thought they'd put some time into the design... Another blah look. It looks like my DVR.

@tiringpillow: Yeah not much... Not sure why these companies can't design better looking consoles. It can't be that hard.

@joshrmeyer: Imagine if Jony Ive from Apple worked for Microsoft. I wonder how good or bad the console would've looked?

@joshrmeyer: Probably too afraid of making a hideous console. But let's me honest, nothing can be worse than h original X1 lol. Which should give Microsoft a pass to do something really crazy. "I know this is weird, but at least it doesn't look like a VCR!!"

@Spartan_418: Ps4 pro came with a standard controller, and it is way less powerful...

@Daveof89: 4.2 Teraflops vs over 6 Teraflops equals less powerful. Not way less powerful lol.

That's like saying that an original X1 is way less powerful than an original PS4 lol (which it isn't).

@casshan01: Let's face it, a pancake that could play games would be pretty darn impressive no matter who made it.

Funniest part: the PS2 slim was about the size of a thick pancake.

@dev-raid1: It never claimed to be the smallest console, it claim is the smallest Xbox console. Nowhere does it say it is the smallest console outside of it's brand.
