I was too late to pre-order and first shipments were sold out. I'll Join this club at the end of the month.
At this very moment my brother is texting me how awesome his X1X is 😣 he's playing Shadow of War & Gears 4.

Piers Harding-Rolls, Director of Research and Analysis Games at IHS Markit, told GamesIndustrythat the research firm is almost doubling their 2017 Xbox One X ( Amazon, $499.99) sales forecast. This seems to echo Microsoft’s Albert Penello’s statement that the console will be a must-have item during the Holiday season.
Feedback on pre-order volume for both the limited edition Project Scorpio Xbox One X and for the standard version of the X console has led us to increase our 2017 sell-through forecast for Xbox One X. The Project Scorpio limited edition pre-order strategy has been particularly effective in driving what is expected to be a robust launch week in key sales territories. IHS Markit has therefore increased its 2017 forecast from 500,000 to 900,000 units. At this level, Xbox One share of total Q4 2017 Xbox One console family sales will be close to 20 percent, similar to the performance of PS4 Pro at launch. If Microsoft outperforms and delivers sales in excess of this forecast it will be considered a major launch success.
Harding-Rolls still doesn’t believe Xbox One X sales will be enough to change the tide in Microsoft’s favor against their main rival PlayStation 4, but it should offset the lower revenue from Xbox One S( Amazon) due to decreased average price.
Xbox One X is poised to give the company a boost in its ambition to compete more effectively with PS4 Pro in strategically important markets of the USA and UK. Other select markets, such as Germany in Europe with its PC gaming heritage, are also forecast to deliver solid launch traction. Overall, however, IHS Markit does not expect Xbox One X to have a dramatic impact on market share between Sony and Microsoft in continental Europe as the market’s current momentum is well entrenched. IHS Markit currently forecasts the Western Europe installed base of PS4 family of consoles to reach 26 million by the end of 2017 compared to 8 million for the Xbox One family of consoles.
Sales of the more expensive Xbox One X console will also help mitigate the fall in Xbox One S hardware average sales price which in recent fiscal quarters has undermined the positive impact felt by Microsoft of increased revenues from software and services. As such, Microsoft’s games business-related revenue is expected to increase year-on-year in Q4 2017.
Sigh, I dont know what got messed up, but my scorpio edition will not be here until Thursday according to amazon. Gratz to those who have one already!
I am very eager for it though and cant wait to run through Gears of War 4 again along with Halo 1-5 and forza horizons 3 and grab some more games with the black friday sales coming up, good times ahead
UPS could not find my street address.... They will deliver it on tomorrow (called them to give them my work address so they don't get lost...).
Those suckers...
I receive packages from Amazon almost on a daily basis (Fedex, Post Canada usually), this is the second time this happens with UPS...
Oh well, tomorrow it for me.
Ordered from GameStop. At the beginning of the month, I got an email saying my X was ready to ship and it would be here on the 8th. If I paid a little extra, I could have had it on launch day.
I scoffed. I ordered my Switch from them and it was here on day one. Why should I pay extra on top of the $545 I already paid? Anyway, I got my UPS tracking number. I watched as my console traveled from state to state, only to get near my home at 10am this morning and not go any further. If I didn't know better, I'd say they delayed it on purpose to get money out of me!

I don't know. Somebody should be able to help you but, as the owner of multiple Xbones, I can tell you: All you have to do is log in and all of your saves, web history, passwords, etc automatically follow. Only a few specific settings, preferences, and wallpapers are left behind.

Mine just downloaded my profile from the internets when I put my email/password in.
Azzanation said: Its a great priced console, something i hope to see more often in the coming gens. I enjoyed Kinect for its features, didnt use it for gaming as much however using it as a Skpye/chat device without the need of a Head set was pretty neat. Shame it couldnt catch on. |
Yeah. Never really was a fan of it for gaming.
But I did like telling it to do things like "Xbox go to Netflix" without having to pickup and turn on the controller or "Xbox Record That" whilst I was busy gaming.
They do have an IR Blaster on the front, so I am on the fence on whether I buy a Kinect adapter or a media remote.

I basically did the same thing to my little brother, he missed the window of picking his up yesterday... I swear I could hear him cursing me from the otherside of this continent. Haha

There is also the transfer/backup feature if you wanted to transfer everything to an external HDD.

I figured it out. The reason I needed to was because I did not have my secondary email or phone number correct. So to bypass the secondary email verification I had my profile backed up on my external. Otherwise they would have asked me for it. And ms makes u wait 30 days to change security info(found that out last week).

I'll have a play around with it later to see what is up. I might need a better HDMI splitter.
$650 AUD is $498 USD right now. So we aren't being ripped off for once. |
To me the X1X is the prettier of the 3 in this pile.

I was literally an hour late. AN HOUR LATE.
Didn't a few Xbox 360 games have mandated installs though? Can't remember. Feels like a generation ago. :P |
The install on PS3 didn't bothered me much (even though GT5 took a good while to install), but certainly PS4 makes it a no issue for disc based (if you skip the patches).

UI was initially supposed to be at 4K, but they decided to make it 1080p to free up a bit more ram (8gb --> 9gb) for the developers to use, which is a great move imo. |
I certainly wouldn't mind they freeing more than 10% RAM just by using a simpler UI and having more juice for gaming. To me PS4 and PS4Pro could use a very barebone UI and release most of the RAM to games (perhaps Scorpio will push Sony to release more for Pro).

Maybe UPS use Apple for their maps =p
