Katie from KTverse.com writes "So, Microsoft have just wrapped up their E3 2017 conference and have revealed the final name for Project Scorpio, Xbox one X. Here are the full details including US price and my thoughts."
As Microsoft unveiled the 'most powerful console ever', Popzara's Senior Tech Editor Herman Exum ponders the technical aspects of this exuberant claim.
The Popzara crew gather to talk the best, worst, and everything else that went down at E3 2017. Will Microsoft’s powerful Xbox One X console be worth your attention? Can Sony’s God of War live up to those lofty expectations? Is it possible to get that catchy theme from Nintendo’s Super Mario Odyssey out of your head (note: nope)?
It’s just like being there; just without the expense, hassle, and the stench. Listen now and thank us later!
Microsoft turned what should have been one of the biggest moments in gaming history into a moribund reflection of its place in the industry on Sunday, June 11 as it took to the stage at E3 to show off its new console, dubbed the Xbox One X.
When all the best games in your presentation are multi plats, you know your a sinking ship
All those games also were running in 4K or 4K enhanced.

They showed strength in that regard. It was NOT a surrender.
I'm seeing a lot of hyperbole in the comments.
The price is a bit steep but not for what the console is. Those specs are beastly and the console is something else. Yes the exclusive games are MIA (as expected tbh) but I dont think its a surrender or a sinking ship at all.
If you want the definitive console edition of games, then you will be best advised to get the One X. Lets not pretend that specs dont matter.
But this gen, if you dont have a PS4, you're missing out imo. Same can't be said about the X1 UNLESS you have a gaming PC
@khurg, technically true with the exception of sunset overdrive.
But it's important to keep in mind that not everyone likes gaming on PC. Heck, took me years to give it a go and even now I'm only on there for exclusives like her story and older games like witcher 1.
It's the first time I've seen new hardware revealed where I didn't see how the new hardware was supposed to benefit me. It was just specs and mostly multiplats.
So you didn't watch the PS4 Pro reveal, then?
Better versions of the same games, that is all these upgrade consoles offer. It's the same for both and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, they are what we knew they were going to be.
"When all the best games in your presentation are multi plats, you know your a sinking ship"... guess you don't remember the PS4 E3 reveal then.
It was indie and multiplat ahoy and the ship is still sailing. In fact, the PS4 didnt get some really compelling games until almost 2 years after.
"In fact, the PS4 didnt get some really compelling games until almost 2 years after."
Whats your point? We are 4 years in Microsoft's game output should be peaking for this generation right now.
Is this the Microsoft fan wait for E3 2018 rally cry starting before E3 2017 is already over?

I like how the voice kept saying "exclusive" when what was displayed on the big screen behind was different every time, like "Xbox console launch exclusive" or "Xbox console world premiere", lol
That was desperate. It's easy to have a longer show in this case, you just sign cheques to the third-party devs so they come and announce their game at your conference first, so as to give viewers the impression, with the aforementioned peculiar choice of words, that you're coming with your saddlebags full of exclusives, when you really only have a couple AAA games which are exclusives, and not really at that since they're all on PC as well.
Well, there was still the announcement of BC with the first Xbox at least, but that was a dirty trick, a dirty trick that bears a name, and that name is "manipulation".
"Shares in the Redmond, Washington company are set to fall sharply on Monday morning."
Uh....nope. Stocks seem fine this morning. MS doesn't rise and fall with Xbox.
Stock fell at open yesterday, like the article says. Sorry if I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Oh come on... Stocks fluctuate up and down all the time.
It went down a couple days at the end of last week. It fell more from Thursday to Friday than it did Friday to Monday. And it went back up today, and is slightly higher than it was on Friday.
I suppose it went back up because everyone saw that Sony's E3 show was awful, right?
did they fall sharply or just within what's normal? MS's stock, I seriously doubt will ever take a major hit or jump because of things like xbox, surface and such. their meat and potatoes is windows.
i'm happy Microsoft is trying to get its shit together. Some people just hate and hate and don't want to see others improve. I believe they would be happy if Microsoft left the industry. You know what, there are people out there who care for Microsoft and want to see them past the current situation. No need to satisfy every one, some people can't be satisfied no matter what. I'll get the one x to support Microsoft. Hopefully next year they'll announce a few exclusive,the year after and the year after. If you think they did something wrong go tell them and how to improve, if you simply hate them just continue hating them, you can't be helped and you cant help.
