Finally, a clear picture
This next-gen console reveal cycle has been excruciatingly patchwork. Both Microsoft and Sony have slowly unveiled bits and pieces about their new machines, never collecting all the information we want in one place. We’re left to go back to old information, apply it to the new details, hope we’re interpreting it correctly, and assume that some unspoken-of details aren’t mucking it all up. I guess that’s how marketing beats go but it can be so frustrating from a consumer’s perspective.
Finally, about two weeks away from next-gen’s launch, Microsoft has completely shown its hand. This Xbox Series X video gives a full overview of all the things it does well, and it’s all in one place just as you’d use the console. Xbox’s principal program managerLinus Tech TipsHarrison Hoffman walks you through the entire demo.
Let’s bullet-point the takeaways:
More or less all of this stuff was already messaged by Microsoft in some way. But, the platform demo puts it in one tidy spot so that we can see exactly how Xbox Series X runs. At long last, there are no more real question marks surrounding Xbox Series X and what buyers can expect.
