Microsoft is saying the Xbox Series X has four times the grunt of the Xbox One X, which is particularly impressive given the Xbox One X is already capable of 4K native resolutions. So instead of getting bogged down in the specifics of the figures, jargon-packed acronyms, and the relevance of a custom processor, let’s instead focus on what it means in practical terms. That’s a whole lot of numbers in a table that don’t make a whole lot of sense without the relevant context. Not only did this latest Xbox console on the block clearly form the naming conventions for Microsoft’s next-gen box (boxes, plural, if the rumours are to be believed), it’s also currently the most powerful console ever.Īs you might expect, the Xbox Series X will be, at the very least, Microsoft’s most powerful console to date, but it might also prove to be the most powerful console released, as it looks to have the edge on the PlayStation 5 from a raw specs perspective. Microsoft recovered, though, with the launch of the UHD-capable Xbox One S, which was followed by the Xbox One X. The current generation saw the release of the Xbox One, but it got off to a bad start, which translated to around 47 million Xbox One sales since launch. Better still, Microsoft started to curry favour with its Xbox Live online services and a much-improved controller, particularly for those with smaller hands, even if its second console suffered from the dreaded ‘red ring of death’ issue. Microsoft had a much better showing with the Xbox’s sequel, the Xbox 360, which sold an incredibly competitive 84 million units. Not bad for Microsoft’s first foray into console development. While the numbering conventions make about as much sense as the Battlefield numerical subtitles, the original Xbox sold 24 million consoles. Before there was the Xbox One, there was the original Xbox.
