has nobody really posted about this yet
Xbox One S has been "leaked" by Microsoft's site: http://gematsu.com/2016/06/xbox-one-s-slim-model-leaked

"40% smaller" by Microsoft's arbitrary metric, 2TB hard drive, 4K HDR video streaming, a slightly changed controller, and a vertical stand.
Not yet announced but widely reported, there's yet another Xbone which is supposedly more powerful and Sony's PS4K.
idk how i feel about it yet tbh
i can't wait for eurogamer's digital foundry articles where they'll play the newer games on the old consoles
The xbone has not painted a positive enough picture for me to even begin about thinking about buying an updated xbone...
Unless mine breaks.
I like it.

'finally the current consoles are strong enough to play last gen games at 30 fps'
it would be extremely dishonest (but completely unsurprising) of them to formally announce this without also mentioning that they plan to release another, significantly enhanced xbox model just a few months down the line

those will be a pleasure to read
looks nice, but also there's like 2 exclusives left on that console if rumors are true lol so i'll just be investing into a 1070 or 1080 GPU instead
Microsoft's E3 conference started with the Xbox One S and ended with a teaser announcement of Project Scorpio.
Xbone S, in addition to having a much smaller console size, still had enough space left to fit the power supply inside the console instead of making it a separate power brick. 4K is used for not only online streaming but also its disc drive supports the new UHD Blu-Ray discs. The base price of $300 comes with only 500GB, but you can pay more for up to 2TB.
The new Xbone controller supports Bluetooth, which should mean you can use it wirelessly on PC without buying any kind of adapter. This probably plays into this conference's very strong emphasis on "Exclusive to Xbox One and Windows 10".
They claim Project Scorpio has 8 CPU cores and 6 teraflops, but they didn't give any specific details or show what the box will look like or anything else. It's launching next year and, like the PS4 Neo, maintains forward compatibility of the old system with all newer games.
"xbone" coming from someone like tec sounds perfectly normal

I've been calling it that consistently since it was announced. Maybe you never noticed because I don't talk about it often.
it just feels like the natural way to shorten the name
ps4, xbone, and wiiu
this is what xbone controller customization looks like: https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com/
Here's a summary of the color options:
4 parts that can separately be colored any of 15 colors: front body, back, top/triggers, and dpad
thumbsticks have 8 color options
menu buttons have 4 options for white/black/grey (and grey with white letters)
face buttons have 5 options: one is the normal colored letters, the others match the menu buttons with greyscale
You can't choose custom colors for the face buttons and you can't use two different stick colors.
effectively that means 15^4*8*5*4=8.1 million total possible combinations
the controller costs $80 when customized
Also, I think you can get a name engraved for a little extra.
Around $100 for that I think.

I always thought xbone came about from people making fun of it and that's why people went with that instead of xb1 or something.

Unless you meant the reverse here
pressing B then 1 means either stretching out your fingers uncomfortably or moving your hand across the keyboard
pressing B then typing "one" is faster and requires less hand movement
this is on qwerty of course
on mobile, it takes more time to long-press or to switch keyboards for the "1" than it does to type a letters-only word
Hmm, maybe that just depends more on hand size. Or somewhat.
PS4 Neo's absence from E3 might be a bit odd, but the reports still point to it releasing by the end of 2016, while Xbone Scorpio releases a full year later in "Holiday 2017".
If I had to guess why Neo wasn't at E3 this year, maybe:
* Sony wants to avoid confused customers thinking that PSVR requires Neo, which could hurt their PSVR sales
* Sony wants to avoid people thinking PSVR and Neo are the same thing (like the Wii U GamePad situation)
* Sony wants to avoid reducing expectations for how well the demoed games will look on the original PS4
* Sony wants to minimize the number of people losing faith in the original console until the launch is imminent
* Sony wants to make plans that counter Xbone's revisions in terms of marketing or release date
I, personally, hope this system releases either near the end of this year or in the first half of 2017, since that's about the time I'd like to buy a PS4. If they still plan to release this October, Sony can avoid letting Microsoft beat them to the market of people who want a console that plays 4K movies while also having a favorable advantage over the Xbone S in holiday shopping. They could also pair Neo with PSVR in bundles, sales, or ads to boost sales of both.
On the other hand, releasing this much earlier than Scorpio could work against's Sony's favor in terms of specs and long-term appeal during the rest of both consoles' lifespans.
