DF take on the Series X is pretty much how I took it when I first saw the photo of new console. I did not stay up and watch the game awards instead when I came here I saw the photo of the Series X and the first thing that came to my mind is that MS is making a gaming PC. Then when I read this is the new Xbox console the second thing that came to mind mind is that the Series X must be a beast.
After experiencing the X1X and how MS engineered that console, the fact that the Series X looks like a small form factor PC instantly screamed that this machine is running the latest PC components and that in order to get the sound and thermal rights even with the cooling I am sure MS will implement, this was the best form factor they could do.
Lately MS engineering has been top notch so if they could not fit this beast into anything smaller says to me that MS is really pushing it for the Series X. I await to see what final form factor Sony bring to the PS5 and what the internals will be. I do believe there will be a generation leap in power this time compared to the PS4/X1. It will be interesting to see how that all translate into games and who takes a real edge or not.
