This is the Xbox Series X, the next generation of Microsoft's well-known gaming console. For a while, people have been speculating what the next Xbox what would be capable of. Recently, at the 2019 Game Awards, the new Xbox was unveiled. Microsoft claims the new console, releasing at the end of 2020, will be twice as powerful as their latest version of the Xbox One, the Xbox One X. This new model is confirmed to be able to run up to 120 frames per second and has ray-tracing technology. While this is quite revolutionary for console gamers, the PC community isn't impressed with the new capabilities, as computers have been able to do both for a long time. Also, there is only one big game so far that could attract the attention of people to this console, that being Halo Infinite; however, Halo is confirmed to no longer be an Xbox exclusive. Therefore, Halo Infinite will also be available on the PC and the Xbox One. It's questionable whether or not the Xbox Series X is worth it; however, they have some time before the holidays to try and convince the public.
I always find it slightly comical when a new gaming system comes out and it claims to be the best gaming station. While I do have an X-Box, I know that PCs are mechanically much better in almost every way with the downside of cost. I'm hoping the new X-Box can live up to expectations that have been promised.
