Anyone know if previous games from old xbox consoles will be playable on this new one?
Around Thanksgiving this year. If you're outside the USA that is some time in November. Microsoft will have an event in April where we get all the details, supposedly including a hard release date and price.When new console xbox will be available?

Microsoft's messaging is so confident that there's almost the sense that the firm is throwing down the gauntlet to its main rival, Sony. I didn't anticipate that Microsoft or indeed Sony would resuscitate the teraflop as a measure of a console's power - principally because it's not an especially accurate way of expressing what a GPU is really capable of, especially when comparing architectures from two very different generations. I can only imagine that Microsoft is comfortable enough with a comparison with the last-gen enhanced machine that possibly under-sells its new machine, while at the same time challenging Sony to follow suit with its latest offering.

Awesome. Thank youYes. And they will play better / more stable etc
“Microsoft has partnered with Seagate for its proprietary external 1TB SSD expansion,” wrote Eurogamer in its Xbox Series X deep-dive.
“It’s very short, quite weighty for its dimensions and actually presents rather like a memory card.”
the game package that sits on storage essentially becomes extended memory, allowing 100GB of game assets stored on the SSD to be instantly accessible by the developer. It’s a system that Microsoft calls the Velocity Architecture and the SSD itself is just one part of the system
I'm standing by my $600 prediction for price, and I don't think it will be delayed.What do you think will be the launch price of the Xbox series X ?
Will the launch be delayed to next year ??
What will be the cost of the additional 1 TB NVMe Compact Flash Express card which is expected to run at same speed as internal NVMe 1 TB card ???

The internal 1 TB NVMe SSD, offers 2.4 GB/s of raw and 4.8 GB/s of compressed I/O throughput. Per Eurogamer:
WTF? Microsoft dropped the optical output despite earlier prototypes having it.

Assuming it's a bust. They also dropped the HDMI input.Is MS still going to try to do the all-in-one DVR/Console or was that a bust?

2.4 GB/s raw I/O throughput — or 4.8 GB/s compressed, or 40 times, compared to the 120MB/s in the Xbox One X hard disk
It uses Zlib, a general-purpose data-compression library, and a mysterious new system named "BCPack," geared to GPU textures.
Microsoft’s Goossen told Digitial Foundry that doing decompression on the 4K textures to match the speed of the SSD rate would have consumed three Zen 2 CPU cores, plus an additional two more just for the I/O overhead. With DirectStorage, Microsoft reduced that down to just a tenth of one core. There are plans to expand to expand this feature to Windows devices moving forward
streamlining GPU usage and loading only portions of textures demanded by a setting
stated Andrew Goossen, Technical Fellow on Xbox Series X at Microsoft via Xbox Wire."The CPU is the brain of our new console, and the GPU is the heart, but the Xbox Velocity Architecture is the soul,"
Microsoft provides examples of games in those categories, including Final Fantasy XV, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Red Dead Redemption 2. Such titles were notorious for lengthy initial loading screens, sometimes taking minutes to get started. And for games that mask loading by slowing players, whether elevators or hallways, Xbox Series X may provide additional creative freedom to avoid those limitations.

I keep hearing how the SSD on the PS5 is a lot faster. That is true but I think these systems are so fast that there is going to be not noticeable difference between the two. I mean, really. Are we going to notice or care about 1 second difference? I'd like to get both consoles if I can afford it. But for now I am getting the Xbox. Good time to be alive!
Well they claim no loading times at all. It is not just a super fast SSD. Even with the fastest SSD on PC there can be still a lot of loading.I keep hearing how the SSD on the PS5 is a lot faster.

At these speeds it's going to be on the order of milliseconds, not seconds. I'm sure games on both systems will be made with the ability to not have any load times at all after the initial caching period. So while it is impressive that Sony is able to work with Seagate to get the full PCI-E 4.0 bandwidth in 4 lanes it's not really going to make that much of a difference compared to the Xbox.I keep hearing how the SSD on the PS5 is a lot faster.

Hopefully install sizes will go down as they will no longer need to put as much duplicate files like they do now to reduce load times.
I don't mind some loading times, but not like now where for example in state of decay 2 where you can freeze the game for a couple seconds due to moving around too fast on the map.
The duplicate file trick was only necessary for the PS3, as it used 2x Bluray drive (slower rotation speed meant slower access times). Now that data is all installed on the hard drve, they most-likely don't make any copies.
At most, the hard drive after install is defragmented (while idle,) but you can say this of any modern OS.
Wrong on it being only necessary for the ps3, data amplification is necessary for literally every game designed for hdd, talk to any game developer if you want confirmation, heck that's even an example for Spiderman on ps4, the ubiquitous mailbox had to be copied a hundred times or so through the hdd, and this is the same for similar objects in any game ever. Up until next gen console designed games for both consoles.
No big deal in the world of gaming, but I actually liked having the HDMI-In for my cable box. It makes all of my TV content use the same color space as my Xbox...which was well calibrated. It also provides faux-Atmos (or 7.1) for all of that content as well. It's capped at 1080p, but then again, luckily so is 99% of Comcast's content.
Looking at my Xbox One game library, the only game I own for it that I don't also have on the PC is RDR2. If I ever see that game for cheap on PC, I think I'm just going to sell my Xbox One X while I can still get some decent money for
Digital Foundry revealed the complete specifications of the Series X and gave details of new features like HDR globally implemented through a machine learning algorithm even on original Xbox game and Dynamic Input Latency.
https://hardforum.com/threads/digit...ck-compat-quick-resume-demo-showcase.1994146/
According to Eurogamer, the HDR conversion the Xbox Series X applies to games appears to be the real deal, applying genuine HDR light levels on a believably relative basis to different objects in every game frame.
...
Intriguingly, the engine that’s creating this HDR effect is apparently based on the widely acclaimed HDR system used in Gears 5 (the glorious results of which I talked about in this earlier article).
Many TVs have tried to offer their own built-in SDR to HDR video conversions over recent years, and in most cases the results have been unconvincing to say the least. Strained and unbalanced colors; flared-out bright areas; and exaggerated noise and object edging are just some of the problems HDR upconverters in TVs have struggled to resolve.
Ironically given that we’re talking about the Xbox Series X here, I’d argue that the only TV brand that’s done a convincing SDR to HDR conversion is Sony. Sony’s TV system only works, though, because it takes a very mild approach to the conversion process, producing only a relatively gentle HDR effect.

With every new thing we’re hearing about the PS5 and Xbox Series X, however, it’s looking like this time it’s the TVs that will struggle to keep up with everything the latest consoles can do, rather than the other way round.
I was looking at TVs a bit yesterday. Compared to what I paid for 65”4K in 2016, “upgrading” to similar with VRR HDMI 2.1 is almost half the price. I could easily see 2.1 becoming a more common thing in households a year from now.Samsung made a big announcement about their HDMI 2.1 TV's earlier this week.
I remember when the PS3 touted 1080p as a feature. News articles couldn't say "...but nobody even HAS a 1080p TV yet!" enough.
A few years later and everyone and their mom had one. Granted, that was the first and only move to "HD" for a lot of people, but it didn't take long to catch on.
HDMI 2.1 could be like that depending on how the manufacturers choose to push them and if the new consoles catch on.
The only real knock on the concept is that (like HDR), you kinda have to see it in person to fully understand it.
Something that could really help is a catchy term (like "HD" or "4K") to describe higher refresh rates.

I just wish manufacturers would fucking pick an HDR standard and stick with it. It seems like you can get HDR10+ or Dolby Vision but not quite Both.
